Recommended Posts

Wow, Nixon must feel like a total moron right about now.

 

Ah well, still three more games in the series.

The best the Phillies can do is split w/ the Pirates?  And get 4-hit twice?

 

Ugh.

 

Well, with the team missing their regular first baseman and shortstop, they are short-handed right now. Ryan Howard needs time to adjust to major league pitching.

And Jason Dubois, too. I'm torn. Patterson wasn't getting things together, but I don't think they should just get rid of him. I heard the guy they're bringing up has about the same OBP as Patterson. Not good.

No official confirmation yet but Jay Payton has been traded to the A's for Chad Bradford. Bradford is currently on the DL so that's why the trade isn't official. He was going to be activated after the All-Star break. I don't expect Payton's stay to be long with the A's unless they trade Eric Byrnes. All Mark Kotsay rumors are pretty much dead and an extension is expected to be signed soon.

Almost an Orioles injury scare, as it appeared that Brian Roberts rolled his ankle over. He's fine and Ponson gets out of a bases loaded jam with only one run allowed, getting Manny "Pure Power" Ramirez to pop-out.

 

2-0 Sox.

The Red Sox FINALLY capitalize with the bases loaded after twice only getting one run. 5-1 in the 6th.

God damn it. After not giving up a single run in Washington, the Mets' bullpen implodes in the bottom of the ninth, giving up four runs to the pirates. 5-5 going into the tenth.

 

The most annoying part of this is that Zambrano had the best start of the year, giving up only one run over eight innings. Another example of Mets' starters having great performances and not getting wins out of it.

There is no limit to my hatred of Braden Looper.

 

My hatred for Sidney Ponson > your hatred for Looper.

 

I think Im to the point where I wont even bother watching/listening to the games he pitches because he sucks so much.

 

And now the Os are in 3rd place, and really close to being in 4th place.

 

Yeehaw.

 

Damnit, its still a good month before football gets going (preseason games anwyay..).

Welcome to the AL All Star team Matt Clement

Yea, no favoritism by Terry in that choice right? lol But I'm not that mad, and I wish The Yankees had a pitcher like Clement right now (great move Boss in getting Pavano andf Wright )

Hafner hit an RBI double. He's hitting .313 with 18 HRs and 59 RBI, as well as a 1.006 OPS.

Since Clement will have the most rest, he's Terry's guy, and reportedly he was upset by not being chosen by Terry initially, does anyone think Clement could start this game? That would make five Red Sox starters.

Sure is cool how the Mets gave up eleven runs to one of the worst offensive teams in the majors. The bullpen's regressed back to being maddeningly inconsistent.
