Everytime the Red Sox are there the skies open and the rain comes falling down. 2 Games in Boston back in April got rained out. From the weather report, I dont know if they'll get this one in.

strummer 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2004 Damn, Marlins beat the Phillies again, Fish are 9-1 against the Phils this year. Tom Glavine wins his first game since June 13, as the Mets win for the first time in a week, beating the Expos tonight. Did anybody see the pre-game brawl between the Rangers and Angels? Just heard about it on the radio, what happened? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted July 28, 2004 Apparently McGriff is working out with the Yankees in Tampa for a couple of days. George might make the call to sign him if Jason goes on the DL. I always liked Fred, so I wouldn't mind it that much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted July 28, 2004 McGriff is trying desperately to reach 500 homers. I think he should just hang them up, call it a career and be happy with what he achieved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest webmasterofwrestlegame Report post Posted July 28, 2004 The Angels continue to be erratic. Only two runs scored today, but it didn't matter as Colon only gave up 1 hit over 7 innings and then K-Rod and Percy decided to play shut-down ball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2004 You know, I am convinced that it's a better idea to let Jason Schmidt pitch 130+ pitches and go the distance, instead of letting him go seven or eight and rely on the pen to actually nail it down. He went eight tonight, threw 123 pitches, struck out seven and only gave up two earned runs and at the moment, it's at risk of going to waste, as it's been narrowed to a two-run game, with two on in the ninth and nobody. They're already on their third reliever of the inning. People will bitch that Alou let Schmidt throw too many pitches, but they could've won the damn game by now. Of course, I care about this primarily because I've got Schmidt on my fantasy and a complete game would've helped out a lot. But it's still sad to see his great outings squandered by horrible relieve pitching. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They stand just a game behind Texas, who they play for a four game series this weekend. Jeckll and Hyde. 27-6 at home and 7-20 on the road since mid-May. Brutal 11 game road trip with that Texas series then to New York and Minnesota. I will be thrilled if they manage to have a winning record on that trip.

God bless those LOOGYs. In all seriousness though, I hope Ankiel can get his career back on track. No, no, no, no, NO. Wait until next year. His career implosion was triggered by the pressure of pitching the playoffs, and now we're going to stick him back in the fire, when our bullpen ain't really broken in the first place? Good fucking GAWD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2004 Because the entire team is underperforming save a few exceptions. Jimmy Rollins, Pat Burrell, and Marlon Byrd have completely stagnented instead of developing. The team has consistantly underformed expectations the last few seasons. I can't see it just being a matter of all these players individually failing. At some point, its a matter of the organization as a whole. Last year, a poll from a prominant magazine widely derided Bowa as baseball's worst manager. I just think a change would shake up this club for the better.

Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted July 29, 2004 The Red Sox look like they're going to lose once again to Baltimore. According to the local newspaper that would make them 4-9 against Baltimore...I hate how this team doesn't wake up and pummel the shitty teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2004 Cubs look like trash tonight. Just when you think they're learning a bit about how not all of their runs have to come from the longball, you've got guys like Aramis Ramirez taking swings like he's got a golf club in his hand. Doesn't help that Kerry Wood gave up a two-run homer to BILL HALL, of all people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
