TWiB 9/4 - 9/10

Recommended Posts

The Tigers losing out would be FAR from the biggest choke of all time. It shouldn't even register really.

 

How so? They were 40 over .500 on August 7th, and there's a WC to fall back on.

I'm listening to it on XM now, that's usually enough to jinx it.

 

Well, Sanchez made it through the first batter, better than Ortiz did on Sunday.

It's on ESPN right now. I say Gonzalez gets a blooper to break this one up like he did to win that WS for the D-Backs.

 

Or not.

Congratulations, Anibal. If this doesn't signify what an amazing season the Marlins have had, I don't know what would.

Congrats, rook. First rookie since Bud Smith in 2001. Anybody remember Bud Smith?

Bud Smith's no hitter was one of the five most nerve-wracking games I've ever watched. I can't helped but wonder if the stress of that game contributed to his arm problems.

Fuck.

 

So I know that it's the National League, and I know he plays in a cavernous football stadium, but this one still hurts give how abysmal Josh Beckette has been.

 

But congrats to the kid.

Was Bud Smith a Cardinal? Congrats to Sanchez on the No Hitter.

So, for the Marlins no-hitters, we've got who? ...Kevin Brown, Anibal Sanchez, AJ Burnett...and...fuck...somebody else, right?

 

I remember Burnett's...that was a fucked up game. 9 walks and still got a no-no.

 

Yeah, Bud Smith was a Cardinal. Only played 2001 and 2002. He had arm problems.

So, in terms of evaluating after the fact, it looks like Florida did better than alot of people thought in the Beckett/Lowell trade.

 

In other gameday news, the Phillies and Astros are having another Hella good game. Big Puma just broke up a 2-2 tie in the top of the 9th with a three-run double.

Most people knew the Marlins did pretty decent in that trade. Anibal was highly touted and of course they got the immortal Hanley Ramirez. Not to mention two great flamethrowers that are currently in AA.

 

With that said... I've never been routing for a KC Royals hit more in my entire life.

Would it be going out on a limb to say that there's a good chance that the 2011 WS could be between the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and the San Antonio Marlins?

I'm gonna catch heat for this, no doubt, but I'd be willing to bet they make the WS before 2011.

 

Given their track record, that's not an outrageous statement in the slightest.
