TWiB 6/12 - 6/18

Recommended Posts

You'll be happy to hear that Fox doesn't want to pick up baseball for 2007 because they're losing money. Good thing, I say. I think this line from Kotz sums it up well:

Ok if anyone can give me a GOOD reason the Angels sent down Jered Weaver who is 4-0 with a 1.37 ERA today to activate Bartolo Colon i'll give them a cookie.

 

Seriously there had to be some other way to get Colon back into the rotation and on the roster right?.,...right?!

They would have had to waive or trade his brother but it would have certainly been worth it even with the awkwardness of Jered costing his brother his job. Jeff is only on a one-year contract so eating his salary or picking up most of it in a trade wouldn't have been a big deal. But hey if the Angels want to keep on losing fine by me.

Yankees took a 9-2 lead and are holding onto a 9-8 lead by a thread.

Soriano has 16 stolen bases and 24 homeruns's. What are the odds that he finally gets to 40/40. I believe in both 2002 and 2003 he got to 35/35.

Soriano with the Little League run, 2 steals and the last base on a bad throw.

 

I think he'll get 40/40 this year. The Nats have nothing else to play for.

Make that stolen base number 17 for the season for Soriano as he steals third and scores on a throwing error by Jorge Posada. Yankees have blown a 9-2 lead. Jesus!!!!

The Sandman is getting rocked to sleep. Daryle (sp?) Ward has got to be one of the slowest men in baseball. He looked like he was having a heart attack rounding 3rd.

You'd think there'd be some American League team that would wanna look in to getting Daryl Ward for a DH role. Dude's got some pop. He's less injury prone than Frank Thomas, too. He's had 13 hits this season. 4 doubles, 4 HR. He's gotten some pretty clutch hits, too.

Was Torre just straight up not paying attention when he brought Rivera in to the 8th inning (....for the second day in a row...) with the pitcher's spot due up 3rd in the top of the 9th.

 

Really, who else was there to pitch? Farnsworth can't, and Villones been overworked.

Torre thought that the Yankees would hold onto the lead, hahahahaha, and that Rivera coming up 3rd in the ninth wouldn't mean anything.

So, what's wrong with Jake Peavy? Are his ribs still hurt from the Padres' celebrating winning the division last season? He's still striking people out, but he's just...I dunno...not pitching bad, but he's giving up runs at an unPeavy-like rate.

Twelve home runs. I think Peavy's just had a bad stretch and he'll break out of it.

Yeah, can we put an end to this interleague stuff. Jays are 0-4 against NL teams, looking to go like 0-5 after Casey Janssen got rocked by the Marlins.

I like the Marlins.

 

There, I said it.

 

 

What's not to like? Payroll is $15 M. Used about 20 rookies this year and they play their hearts out EVERY play.

 

Great team. No matter what their record ends up being.

That's why I like them. They definitely aren't the most talented, but they give it their all.

At least there's some good news, as Burnett had another good rehab start in AA tonight. Plus Halladay is pitching tomorrow and they're going to Atlanta after this, so this slide shouldn't last too long.

That's the kind of team I'd like to be a fan of. Cubs are just about polar opposites of the Marlins, other than the record thing. They may wind up with a WORSE record than the Fish.

So who is going to have the playoffs next year? Not that it matters. We'll just see the the same tired announcers brought over to the new network.
