Precious Roy 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2005 I'd like to see one of the first pitchers to face Bonds throw at him. I don't have a problem with the guy, but the integrity of the game needs to be upheld. The Padres offense has flaws, if The San Fran starting pitching holds up, Latroy and Benitez hold together the bullpen, and Alou and Bonds are hitting they could make a run at it.

CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2005 The Blue Jays finally appear to be done. I'd like to believe otherwise, but I don't see them making up 5 1/2 games on three different teams with only 5 1/2 weeks left. Unfortunately, they picked the absolute worst time to go on a prolonged losing streak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mike546 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2005 How do the Yankees get shut down for 4 innings and have one hit against a guy who the league bats .300 against and has given up THIRTY more hits than innings? This is definitley one of those non-existent hitting games the Yanks have. edit: The Yankees load the bases with no outs, then fuck it up by only scoring one run. And the entire inning lasts SIX pitches! How the fuck do you do that? edit2: Is Torre on crack? He lets Leiter start the 8th at 120 PITCHES, instead of bringing in a fresh Sturtze. UGH.

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2005 Joey Devine is clearly not ready for the majors. Twelve walks in 20 innings at AA should be a hint that he needs more time to develop before going straight to the show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2005 Amazing game going on right now between the Sox and Twins. Scoreless going into the bottom of the 8th and Garcia has a no-hitter, while Santana's only given up two hits. Lew Ford just made a catch in center that perserved the scoreless tie, though.

KingPK 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2005 So...is ANYONE in this bullpen going to have just a nice, clean, 1-2-3 9th? Is it in their contracts that they HAVE to give up a run or two just to make the game "interesting"? You can get away with it against the Royals, but not against actual good teams.

Dobbs 3K 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2005 Brewers beat the Marlins last night in an impressive win, 11-2 at Miller Park. The youth movement is in full effect right now for the Brewers...their three rookies in Rickie Weeks, JJ Hardy, and Corey Hart all looked great, along with Bill Hall playing very nicely at 3B. Just wait 'til next year when Prince Fielder is playing every day... Chris Capuano got his 14th win last night...the first Brewer to reach that mark since Cal Eldred in 1993, amazingly enough. I'm not going to sit here and make predictions about obtaining the Wildcard spot this year, but .500 is looking very achievable at this point for the Brew Crew.
