EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2003 Cleveland @ Toronto Terry Mulholland vs. Roy Halladay. Roy Halladay gets one more shot at 22 wins, and a club record. Atlanta @ Philadelphia Mike Hampton vs. Amaury Telemaco. The Braves seek home field advantage. They're up by two wins over the Giants. Pittsburgh @ Chicago Cubs Josh Fogg vs. Mark Prior. Ryan Vogelsong vs. Matt Clement. Let's try this again. The Cubs are a half game up on the Astros. A sweep, and they go into Sunday at least a game up. A Cubs sweep combined with an Astros loss, and you can pop the cork. Milwaukee @ Houston Wes Obermueller vs. Ron Villone. Yes, the Astros are pitching Ron Villone. The Cubs have to be salivating at this one. Still, if Shawn Estes can do it..... Los Angeles @ San Francisco Edwin Jackson vs. Jerome Williams. Masao Kida vs. Dustin Hermanson. Giants competing for home field advantage. Of course with Dustin Hermanson on the mound, I don't think the Giants are putting much stock in home field advantage. Minnesota @ Detroit Brad Radke vs. Gary Knotts. 119 and counting. St. Louis @ Arizona Sterling Hitchcock vs. Chris Capuano. Since I'm cheating a little bit on the timing of these posts, I don't know who won Friday's game yet. As of this writing, the D'backs are up 2 after 7. If the Cards lost, then forget about this game. But if they won, then the Cardinals live another day. Even if they survived, they still need Houston and Chicago to lose every game. Games that don't matter Texas @ Anaheim NY Mets @ Florida Montreal @ Cincinnati Colorado @ San Diego Chicago White Sox @ Kansas City Boston @ Tampa Bay Oakland @ Seattle Baltimore @ NY Yankees Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Bobby Cox is God Report post Posted September 27, 2003 I hope Mullholland wins, not because I hate Halladay but I have loved him since I was a little kid. Why? God knows, but he's always been one of my favorites. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2003 Detroit may win this game.. It was 8-1 and then they scored 7 runs in the 7th and 8th, and they have a runner on second and one out in the bottom of the 9th.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2003 Walked, stole second, stole third, scored on wild pitch. Talk about winning a game by yourself. The Tigers just need to win tomorrow to avoid tying the loss record. It should be noted that they will NOT beat the '62 Mets record for worst win pct.

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2003 No they aren't. San Francisco will concede home field advantage to avoid playing the game, and the commissioner's office has concured. Makes sense, as the Giants would have to fly cross county for one game before flying back to start the Marlins series the very next day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the pinjockey 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2003 Couple notes from the Phillies game: I found it unbelievably fitting that it rained during the introduction of the All-Vet Team today. Also, kids today, are retarded. This one kid was yelling "You Pussy". I would have had the shit smacked out of me if I said that when I was 12. And Pat Burrell, is doomed next year if he gets off to a slow start. As are Jimmy Rollins and Bobby Abreu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2003 I'm not going to write a full baseball preview for tomorrow. The only meaningful games are the Atlanta and San Francisco games, and even that's only if the Giants win game 2 tonight. Tomorrow, I suggest watching your favorite non-playoff team for the last time this season. Also, the very last game in Veterans' Stadium history is tomorrow. See the last game of a dying relic before it is mercifully destroyed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2003 Is Bobby Abreu having a bad season? He's doing perfectly well from my vantage point. Jimmy Rollins is a special case. First off, he contributes a great deal with the glove. And for another thing, he's stilll better now than Larry Bowa ever was. Pat Burrell is going to have to hit, because there's no way the Phillies are getting rid of his contract. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the pinjockey 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2003 I think people (myself included) are just tired of Rollins style of thinking his warning track power makes him a power hitter. Abreu only got a smattering of boos, but I think the underlying theme with him is underachiever. I have accepted he is a .300/25/100/25 guy so it doesn't bother me. The kid who sat next to me today hated him. When Abreu was announced as the All-Vet RF he went nuts. I tried to explain to him that he is in the top 10 all time games played in the Vet and has played well, but he was having none of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These people need to piss off and realize that they should be happy with what they have. Abreu walks 100 times a year. The only other players with streaks that long now are Jason Giambi and Jim Thome. He puts up a .400 OBP every year. He hits for power. He steals bases. The man does everything well, and yet the Phillie fans want more. According to Win Shares, he's the 7th most valuable player in the National League. What more do the fans want?
