This Week in Baseball

Actually, Burny scored from second on a basehit from Holly.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Yeah I realized that when I saw the clip. I was listening to Bob Uecker do the game and he made it sound like Burnitz got home on a sac fly.

 

As for why FSN Milwaukee didn't have the game, I have no idea. I thought maybe channel 24 would have the game, but lo and behold the game wasn't televised at all. Weird. You'd think these days that every game would be carried.

Beltran stole a base, and then another. OMG

Yankees released Mike Stanton and Paul Quantrill

Hey check it out, the bullpen fucked up another close game for the Cubs. Granted, Maddux was no great shakes today, but the game was still in reach with the wind blowing out. Now they're down 10-5 to the Brewers. I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to send Mike Remlinger up to face a lefty, but they did.

The Dodgers should take a flyer on Paul Quantrill, because he can't possibly be worse than Duaner Sanchez, and he pitched well in LA.

Well Mr. .236 Leadoff Man Corey Patterson, who hasn't gotten a hit all series, can't try to draw a walk and grounds out to first to lose the game. Thanks a lot.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

So, that brings his grand total to...three. Huh.

 

Anyway, good game for the Mets. Pedro threw another gem, and the bullpen was unusually dependable for once. Woulda been nice to take advantage of some more of those RISP situations, but oh well. Win's a win.

Orioles flat out stunk again in a 9-3 loss to the Tribe.

[Jericholic82 0]

so they release quantrill and stanton instead of trying to trade them? WTF?

[Guest]

No one, and I mean no one is going to trade for 2 old relievers that have pitched horribly this season.

Point well taken.

Kenny Rogers gets suspended 20 Games

[devo 0]

And fined $50k, if I remember correctly.

 

A stiff punishment to be sure, but deserved. Anyone stupid enough to attack two cameramen while being filmed deserves whatever they get.

Phillies place Jim Thome on the 15 day DL, and call up Ryan Howard from AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Howard has beaten the living crap out of the ball in AAA, and I hope he makes the most of this opportunity.

Yea what the hell was he thinking? Have we not learned anything from Dennis Rodman?

 

not that I care too much, I still hate Rogers for nearly blowing the 96 world series for the yankees with his horrible "performance" in game 4.

 

Then again, was it not Rogers who also walked in the winning run for the braves in the 99 NLCS while pitching for the Mets? Or maybe I'm not remembering correctly.

It was.

Yeah. That's another reason I'm not too sympathetic towards Rogers.

[Cartman 0]

What Rogers did was wrong no doubt, and he deserves the suspension and fine greatly...BUT...when I heard that cameraman that was interviewed on ESPN last night it was blatantly obvious that he had it coming to him and he was milking the situation for everything it's worth.

[EVIL~! alkeiper 0]

Ryan Howard couldn't make it from Buffalo in time for the game, but luckily the Phillies are looking to call up their newest prospect from AA Reading...

 

[Bruiser Chong 0]

Seven earned for the Big Unit in five tonight. I smell that World Series, all right.

[devo 0]

Mets take advantage of two errors in a row from Lowell and score three runs, retaking the lead and bringing the game to 5-3 in the bottom of the 5th.

 

Burnett's completely lost his composure. They're taking him out with one out, bases loaded.

[bob_barron 0]

John Smoltz pitches another great game, Andruw Jones with another home run and Kelly Johnson is starting to come into his own.

 

I love this team

[Vern Gagne 0]

Bobby Cox might be the best regular season manager of all time.

 

Johnson is a NL league pitcher and maybe the Yankees should look into trading him.

He did well for Seattle, an AL team but yeah he's probably too used to the NL now.

Hey, Al, you from the Scranton region? Where abouts?

[Vern Gagne 0]

That was in 1998. A long time between leagues.

[CanadianChris 0]

Wow, the Sox are getting pasted. 15-1 Blue Jays, which should bump the Yankees back into sole possession of 4th, IIRC.

I thought you knew I attended East Stroudsburg University. I actually live a few miles from Mt. Pocono, so Scranton is a 30 minute drive.

[TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe 0]

No way man I had no idea. I go there too.
