Guest Smues Posted September 10, 2005 Report Posted September 10, 2005 Jorge Sosa! He's usually done after 5 innings, sometimes 6. Today its 8 strong shutout innings against the Nationals. Atlanta wins 4-0 and Andruw hits his 47th homerun of the season to tie the Braves franchise season record I think. Amazing. Three more and he'll have 300 for his career. I remember during the off season noticing that he was at 250 and thinking to myself if he hit 50 this season he could get to 300 on his career, but of course he wouldn't even come close. How wrong I was.
Bruiser Chong Posted September 10, 2005 Report Posted September 10, 2005 Yanks sure look like a postseason team to me.
mike546 Posted September 10, 2005 Report Posted September 10, 2005 Honestly, were probably not. You just don't know what your going to get from the pitching staff.
Precious Roy Posted September 10, 2005 Report Posted September 10, 2005 days like this make me hate baseball

Bruiser Chong Posted September 10, 2005 Report Posted September 10, 2005 The Nats aren't exactly an offensive juggernaut.
Guest Smues Posted September 11, 2005 Report Posted September 11, 2005 Andruw just crushed homerun 48 to set a new Braves single season record. Huzzah. I'm hoping he can get two more this season as I've always wanted to see a Brave hit 50.
mike546 Posted September 11, 2005 Report Posted September 11, 2005 Wakefield has struck out 12 Yankees in 6 innings. edit: Mo vs Ortiz, runner on 1st 2 outs in the 8th. I have a terrible feeling about this. Edit2: Yankees walk Ortiz, 11 months too late. Edit3: And Mo throws 40 pitches before K'ing Olerud.
Precious Roy Posted September 11, 2005 Report Posted September 11, 2005 Of course Mo has to make it interesting...

Precious Roy Posted September 11, 2005 Report Posted September 11, 2005 Yankees take 2 out of 3, now two back in the East. Great to see RJ step up against the hated enemy!
Guest Smues Posted September 11, 2005 Report Posted September 11, 2005 The bullpen blows a big lead against the Nationals for the 3rd time in just over a week. Lovely.
bob_barron Posted September 11, 2005 Report Posted September 11, 2005 So Smues, who gets the hit that wins it for the Nats?
Guest Smues Posted September 11, 2005 Report Posted September 11, 2005 If it were possible I'd say Guzman just because he's god awful at the plate and that'd be the most painful way to lose, but thankfully he can't win it himself.
KingPK Posted September 11, 2005 Report Posted September 11, 2005 JUST PUT THIS FUCKING TEAM AWAY ALREADY!!!! This series is going to bite them HARD in the ass in a couple of weeks.
mike546 Posted September 11, 2005 Report Posted September 11, 2005 I'd just like to say Mariano Rivera is a fucking beast.
Guest Smues Posted September 11, 2005 Report Posted September 11, 2005 Strike 3 and Kyle Farnsworth continues to amaze. It's sad he'll leave as a free agent in the off season but considering how bad most of the bullpen is he was worth whatever we gave up for just half a season. 48 and 49 for Andruw. I think his batting average is going to keep him from getting the MVP award, but damn if he isn't having an MVP type season. JONES! ahhhhhhhhhhh. saviors of the universe
Guest Brian Posted September 11, 2005 Report Posted September 11, 2005 Yankees take 2 out of 3, now two back in the East. Great to see RJ step up against the hated enemy! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You guys are three back.
bob_barron Posted September 11, 2005 Report Posted September 11, 2005 Andruw Jones has got to be the MVP, I mean for about 3 months, he was the offence. They should give Farnsworth whatever he wants. I'm going to die of a heart attack one of these days because of this team.
Precious Roy Posted September 11, 2005 Report Posted September 11, 2005 Yankees take 2 out of 3, now two back in the East. Great to see RJ step up against the hated enemy! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You guys are three back. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> that's what I meant series remaining: Bos: @Tor Oak (4) @TB @Bal Tor (4) NYY NYY: @TB @Tor Bal (4) Tor @Bal (4) @Bos Pretty much even all things considered. Boston has to play 4 against Oakland, but NY sucks against Tampa. 8 games against Baltimore jumps out at me, we should win at least 6 and ideally sweep both considering Baltimore looks to have packed it up this year.
mike546 Posted September 11, 2005 Report Posted September 11, 2005 The Jays have beat up on Boston this year too, and as Sox fans know, a game against Lilly is an auto loss.
The Czech Republic Posted September 11, 2005 Report Posted September 11, 2005 Kyle Farnsworth continues to amaze. GO FUCKIN' FIGURE
Precious Roy Posted September 11, 2005 Report Posted September 11, 2005 Can you really be surprised that Farnsworth turned it around? It was clearly Chicago that was the problem
mike546 Posted September 12, 2005 Report Posted September 12, 2005 I just looked at the standings, and if the Indians win, which the will because they never lose anymore, they'll be 5.5 behind the White Sox, only 5 in the loss column. They have 6 games remaining between each other, and with the way the Indians are playing, who knows. I hope they do it, so the Sox actually care when they play the tribe to end the year.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted September 12, 2005 Report Posted September 12, 2005 Andruw Jones is having a nice season, but I can't see him as the MVP. Albert Pujols has more runs, more hits, more doubles, more walks, less strikeouts, a higher batting average, a higher on base percentage, and a higher slugging percentage. Value? The Cards are 91-53 despite losing their all-star third baseman for the season, and both corner outfielders for significant lengths of time. Andruw Jones is 20th in win shares. No amount of clutch hitting is going to close that gap.
Bruiser Chong Posted September 12, 2005 Report Posted September 12, 2005 Man, I thought I was bad with the Cubs. Some of you guys are ridiculous with "your teams." Relax already. I still don't buy Farnsworth. Let's see him come postseason.
