Guest Report post Posted September 18, 2006 Needless to say, I'm not very happy at all with the play of the Dodgers. The light at the end of the tunnel is the schedule. That makes me happy. 3 games against the Pirates will surely right the ship! Clinching any playoff spot in Frisco would be the greatest thing ever. I feel like I'm alone in this, but I'd rather see the Dodgers win the Wild Card than the division. I do not want to see St. Louis in the divisional series, but I feel like this team can beat the Mets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bored 0 Report post Posted September 18, 2006 News of interest not just for me but potentially for the playoffs, Rich Harden is scheduled start Thursday against Cleveland. This may have Francisco Liriano written all over it and I'd prefer they bring him back as a reliever. Trying to rush Harden back as a starter especially when the division is almost wrapped up seems kinda pointless. The rotation is solid without him and he could provide a lethal option out of the pen in the playoffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted September 18, 2006 Figures that ESPN would show my beloved Astros when they're pretty much all but dead in the division and the WC. Oh well, Wednesday is a Clemens' start and the other two are against the Cards. I just hope that they get Buck Martinez or somebody besides Joe Morgan to commentate. Hell, even Rick Sutcliffe would be better. And, hey, maybe the Astros can go 15-0 till the end of the season. That's about the only hope they have of getting into the postseason...

UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted September 18, 2006 Cubs go up 3-0 in 1st inning because Leiber has decided he can't field or pitch tonight. Hope he settles down and they get some offense. Rollins gets a line drive out and Victorino with a great diving catch! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted September 18, 2006 This "Sean Marshall" character has awful numbers and I don't see him making it past the 6th, given his not too fastball being his best pitch in a hitter's park. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted September 18, 2006 Leiber gives up another HR (4-0), a double, then a double (5-0) and an error on Nunez gets the runner to 3rd. No outs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted September 19, 2006 Jesus, Aramis Ramirez already with seven RBI and two homers through four. This will certainly help me in the finals of the usually frustrating fantasy baseball. And damn it, why can't I ever be watching when Juan Pierre hits one of his few home runs?

UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted September 19, 2006 The Home Run Parade Continues! Phils score 6 (including a grand slam) to get it to 8-6 going into the 5th. Howard stuck out on 3 swings to end the inning, admist chants of "MVP!" at a supercharged stadium. Cubs get a solo jack, it's now 9-6 Cubs top 5 w/ 2 outs.

devo 0 Report post Posted September 19, 2006 This is the first time I've had the pleasure of seeing the Mets clinch the division. Of course, I would have loved to have seen the celebration in person when I was in Pittsburgh, but to witness the joy of the players as they clinch at home, in front of 45,000 ridiculously excited fans...the feeling's indescribable. I love this team. Let's go Mets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted September 19, 2006 ESPN2 is airing the "Bricktown Showdown" tomorrow, a one game playoff between the AAA champions. I'd prefer to call it an exhibition. In any case, it might be of interest to Tigers and Diamondback fans. Tucson starter Micah Owings compiled an amazing 16-2 record between AA and AAA this season.
