This Week in Baseball

Recommended Posts

Has anyone seen that Red Sox movie yet? From the reviews I read, it's pretty much an hour and a half reinforcing the belief that all Red Sox fans believe in the Curse and drink a lot (well, the second part is true).

 

I'm probably going to wait until the DVD comes out, or not see it at all.

 

Oh, and I'm now accepting wagers on the number of Anglesault's Yankee bitches this week. The over/under is 10.

Marlins and Houston tangle again starting tomorrow in Florida. Looking good... Marlins miss Clemens and send Willis, Pavano, and Beckett.

 

Nice.

 

And Aj Burnett throws an extended spring training game today and will make a start in double A next week. He's due back June 2nd against the Mets. From what I've been reading in the Miami Herald he's improved his motion and his stuff is going to be even more electric than before (which lead the league in shutouts).

Contreras is coming back to pitch against Texas.

 

That just has "bad idea" written all over it.

After the Rockies scored 7 runs in the final 3 innings against the Phillies I'm awaiting an alkeiper meltdown against Bowa.

I think it's glorious. Last I saw it was 6-0 and I come back to check the score the Phillies lost... Ha!

 

Tough loss Phillies fans.

This is a big week for the reds, especially the weekend series against the Astros. This week will go a long way in telling whether or not the sweep in LA was the sign of a positive turn for the Cincy warriors, or whether the sweep was merely a blip on the radar screen. As the reds continue to march down toward the palace of mediocrity. This week is the hour of the reds rebirth, will you be there to join them? Just what will that birth present, a legacy of winning brought back to life after years of slumber, or one more nail into the cincy coffin?

Not this time. I didn't see the game. I just read the PBP. Madsen and Cormier were used, and Worrell had only pitched to two batters in the eighth. I don't think there was a better option.

I agree .. huge week coming for the Reds.

 

But, wait a second ... no need to activate Austin Kearns while he's hitting .385 (3-5 again today) in Louisville .. no no ... we might lose Jason Romano! We can't do that, now can we. DanO seriously needs to get his head on straight. I really hope to God he isn't like Bowden, who had crushes on his former draft picks. (Romano was a favorite of DanO's when he was with Texas).

They BETTER make a move very soon. Very.

Bad news for the Padres.

SAN DIEGO -- San Diego Padres left-hander David Wells cut his right wrist and left palm, apparently in an accident at home, and is expected to miss his next two starts.

 

General manager Kevin Towers said the 40-year-old Wells likely will be placed on the disabled list on Tuesday. Wells wasn't on the team flight Monday to Pittsburgh, where the Padres open a 12-game, four-city trip on Tuesday. Wells had been scheduled to start Saturday at Philadelphia.

 

Wells lost to the Chicago Cubs on Sunday, and apparently was hurt that night.

 

"It was not a fight," Towers said. "It happened at his home. It sounds like he cut himself with some glass. How he did that, I don't know."

 

Towers said Wells received stitches in his right wrist and left palm.

 

Both Towers and Wells' agent, Gregg Clifton, said they hadn't been able to reach the pitcher by phone. Team Dr. Jan Fronek declined comment, citing privacy laws.

Somehow I don't think he injured his hand in an accident at home. I'm thinking it's probably a much more interesting story.

Damn didn't realize the game was on TBS.

 

Congratulations to Livermore, CA native (where I lived for a few years and grew up the next town over) Randy Johnson.

 

Wow and how bad is it for the Braves now? 18 strikes out by Ben Sheets on Sunday and now a perfect game.
