EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2004 I'm gonna try doing these for individual series, rather than an entire week. Big time series this week between the A's and Yankees. Possible ALCS matchup? Other interesting series include Atlanta at Houston, and Anaheim at Minnesota. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bored 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2004 Right now only Manny Ramirez has a higher OPS in the A.L. than Travis Hafner. He's currently tied for the league lead in OBP with Melvin Mora and 3rd in slugging. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted August 2, 2004 I'm gonna try doing these for individual series, rather than an entire week. Big time series this week between the A's and Yankees. Eh, maybe to the people in Oakland. We could get swept and it wouldn't mean that much. The idea that it maybe possibly could be an ALCS or ALDS match up isn't that intriguing to me.

Guest Staravenger Report post Posted August 2, 2004 Devil Rays HAD an early 2 run lead with a Tino Martinez home run, but the Red Sox lead 3-2 now, I'm assuming thanks to a home run of their own. (I was out of the room making a sandwich..BOO!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2004 Boston/Tampa Bay currently on ESPN. Of interest: hot prospect B.J. Upton makes his MLB debut. He looked a bit uncomfortable on the first pitch, but he adjusted nicely and while he grounded out, impressed me simply by not going down on strikes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2004 The thing that strikes me so far about Upton is that he doesn't look like he's busting ass running, but he is FAST. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2004 Ichiro has a five-hit game in the first of a double-header. He's got a realistic shot of getting nine hits on the day the way he's been swinging the bat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Staravenger Report post Posted August 4, 2004 Contreras is having a hard time finding the strike zone...and it's only the 2nd batter. And the Royals station STILL hasn't fixed the problem from 20 minutes ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted August 4, 2004 Contreras is having a hard time finding the strike zone...and it's only the 2nd batter. Comforting. Mulder walked Sierra twice tonight. Off the top of my head, I can't think of two times Ruben has walked (Not IBB) period. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Staravenger Report post Posted August 4, 2004 Contreras got out of the 1st inning 1-2-3, but was behind in the count 3-1 to each batter and had the catcher come up to the mound for a chat. Too bad I couldn't hear ANYTHING Thanks to crossed channels audio. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, but I still have to worry about what Moose and Javy are going to pull out for those games. I have faith in Brown and to a degree, Duque. Two aint gonna do it.
