This week in baseball 8/29 - 9/5

[Steve J. Rogers 0]

Not a great night for Schilling.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Beltran catches the final out and the Mets have won the ball game 6-4.

 

We'll be back with the "Happy Recap" in just a few moments...

Whoa, the NL WC is tight.

 

1. Marlins

1. Phillies

3. Mets - 0.5 GB

3. Astros - 0.5 GB

 

And in the GOOD NEWS department, Jeremy Hermida is IN MIAMI! Tomorrow is the deadline for postseason rosters and he is in Florida and sat with Loria in the owner's box tonight. They are trying to determine if his wrist is healthy enough to call him up for the post season roster. In my opinion, they would be fools if they didn't - I honestly think he can push them over the edge.

Y'know, I'm never very comfortable when Urbina comes in. Maybe it was his 1st couple games for the Phillies, where he gave up some HR's and didn't look very good, but ever since then he always makes me hold my breath. Tonight just reinforced it.

Rich Harden had to shut it down after throwing 12 pitches on a side session today and he'll be skipped a second start. Reading between the lines I think the he might be done for the season.

Guess Chacons run had to end somewhere.

Bobby Kielty, who is about as effective against right handers as I am, hits a homerun in the top of the 11th against K-Rod and the A's win 2-1.

[Precious Roy 0]

Mark Bellhorn is going to help us win the pennant. This is glorious!

[CanadianChris 0]

Fun fact: Each of the top four teams in the AL wild card standings would be leading the NL wild card race, by as much as 4 1/2 games in the Yankees' case.

More good teams in the NL = worse records for all teams involved.

That doesn't explain the NL West.

MLB.com reporting that Mark Bellhorn will sign with the Yankees. 

 

Yanks picking up more Red Sox table scraps- good riddance.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

yea that's great Boston loyalty for ya

 

anyhow I assume the only reason they signed him was that he was the only guy available (like the trades for leiter, chacon, lawton)

 

Hey one loss aint too bad but its tough when the Red Sox refuse to lose. damn tampa bay why cant you beat them up like you do the yankees (my theory is they get up mroe for the yankees than any other team-no shock with Lou at the helm)

 

Boston does however continues to live by their offense. If that ever fizzles they might be in deep you know what.

 

of course with a couple of bad pitching days like now and Mussinas trouble the Yankees could be headed in the same direction.

 

probably better off winning the wildcard as the past 3 WS winners came from that spot. (though the Yankees play better at home this year so the homefield thing is an issue)

 

 

just make the playoffs to piss off the haters, thats all I ask

 

Then maybe the serious retooling they need may start.

 

but Hey when October rolls around,........anything can happen......in the WWF (

It's not getting any better with tonight's matchup. Johnson vs. Rodriguez...I may stay up and watch this one. I think Sportsnet Pacific is carrying it.

Mizark Bellhorn was hitting .213. Graffanino has been more than capable since the trade. Thus, Bellhorn is expendable.

I was just being a bit sarcastic. sorry for that. I was just goofing on sports fans tendancy to have a "what have you done for me lately" attitude toward players (as well as getting a cheap shot in at Boston-you know for fun and the rivalry) . Hey I aint innocent in that attitude either. It happens.

Don't you mean Hernandez? And it should be a great game, I haven't seen Felix pitch yet.

Yeah, that's what I meant.

 

Weird game going on right now in Kansas City...the Twins and Royals are in a scoreless tie in the 9th, despite all the Twins hitters getting at least one hit each (12 total hits), and Kyle Lohse pitching a 3-hitter.

[Mik 0]

If you haven't seen Felix pitch yet, watch the game.

 

It's worth it.

[CanadianChris 0]

To follow up on my earlier post, doesn't this linescore just want to make you beat your head against a wall if you're a Twins fan?

 

Minnesota    000 000 000 -- 0 13 1
Kansas City  000 000 001 -- 1  5 1

Just a day after Rich Harden's season appears in jeopardy, find out that Bobby Crosby has a broken ankle. Fuck.

[mike546 0]

The Red Sox aggravate me so much. How the hell do you score 7+ runs at home, 13 games in a row?

Well, they did have Tampa Bay and Texas in for half those games.

Phillies beat the Mets 8-2, as Utley goes yard twice off Pedro. Howard & Lieberthal also hit HR's, both off Pedro. Brett Myers gets the win despite a shaky start.

Jeremy Hermida becomes the second player in MLB history to hit a grand slamn in his very first at bat.

[Mik 0]

The Marlins top prospect Jeremy Hermida just hit a grand slam in his first major league plate appearance. Hell yeah.

[KingPK 0]

Hey, Randy Johnson has a no-hitter going. How about that? He should just blow through the Mariners for the rest of the game and NOT give up ANY MORE hits for the remaining 4 innings.

 

Yep, this no-no is in the bag.

[Guest Brian]

Jinx it. Jinx it! JINX IT! JINX IT~!!!

[mike546 0]

He has 80 pitches through 5, its not happening. The Yankees hitters on the otherhand, REFUSE to work the count against King Felix.

 

edit: Fuck you guys.

[Guest Fishyswa]

You guys suck.

[Fökai 0]

...and as soon as I tune in to see the start of the Mariners sixth, Betancourt breaks up the no-no.

[Guest Brian]

Jinx it. Jinx it! JINX IT! JINX IT~!!!

Told you so.
