devo 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2005 I want to give David Wright a handjob. He's going to be a superstar. Well said. Great game for the Mets. Benson turns in a splendid performance (8 1/3 IP, 4 H, 1 BB, 1 ER) and Wright goes 4 for 5 with 6 RBIs. Score ends up at 9-1 in a nice bounceback from yesterday. Also, the A's - Angels game has been great so far. The fans are spectacular. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2005 With that September schedule, the Phillies are gonna need a 12 game lead in the Wild Card heading into that month. It's ridiculous. They can't defeat the Astros or NL East...and it's all them. Fortunately, I'll be dressing up in costume for "Latino Family Celebration Night" as the stadium, complete with sombrero, poncho, and maracas, with friends on Sept. 7th, in hopes of a victory. No less insulting than the Padilla Flotilla, methinks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sfaJack 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2005 Thank God for rain in Chicago right now. Maybe it'll get rained out so that the Cubs won't stumble through another loss and we won't be subjected to Jose Macias LEADING OFF while Matt Murton toils away in the seven hole. Fuckin' Dusty...

Fartsauce 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2005 Jays ended up winning 2-1. They've won 3 in a row but haven't been able to pull together a major winning streak all season. The lack of more veteran leadership is the cause I think as the team is very young. It's still frustrating to see them win 3 in a row then lose 3 in a row and repeat the process.

The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2005 Well Maddux, being a pitcher under a guy who strokes it to the sacrifice bunt, I wouldn't expect to get on base much.
