Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2006 The Twins have gone into a hitting slump this past week.They do this all the time. Look like the best team, and turn around and get shutdown by Mark Redman. The good news is they've always been able to breakout of these slumps at the right time. Hopefully it happens next week.

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2006 God damnit. Why won't the Dodgers LOSE? The only comfort is that now either LA or San Diego can slip up in order to give us a shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2006 Fox has picked up four games, meaning you'll get to see one crucial game and miss all the others. San Diego, Los Angeles and St. Louis can all clinch playoff berths with wins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2006 San Diego, Los Angeles and St. Louis can all clinch playoff berths with wins. I thought St. Louis' magic number was 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2006 It is. The Astros have to win both of the last two games and hope that St. Louis loses at least one. If St. Louis loses one of the next two and the Astros win both of the next two, they'll be back to a half-game behind, and they'll have to play the Giants and then, maybe, in Houston. If the 'Stros win both games and the Cards lose both, the Cards will be .5 game back of the Astros and will have to win the make up game against the Giants to get a playoff game in Houston. There's too many damn scenarios. I just wanna watch Chris Sampson pitch today. I like Chris. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sfaJack 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2006 You know Garner's gonna go with Wandy. I mean, he has 9 wins this season, which is WAY more than Sampson! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2006 Nah, it's Sampson. It's been announced and everything. It's on record that Chris Sampson is pitching today's game with the Braves, so now Phil can't change it cuz it's all nice and official-like. At least, he better not change it. I think Phil realizes, on the 2nd to last day of the season, that the Astros are in a pennant race. I think the 'Stros have a good chance to win the next two and I think the Cards have a good chance of going 1-1, which would set up a make-up game on Monday between the Cards and the Giants. I'm not confident in the Giants being competitive, especially since 2/3 of their team will have already flown home to spend time with their grandchildren.

Guest Report post Posted September 30, 2006 God damnit. Why won't the Dodgers LOSE? Because their schedule lined up against two extremely shitty teams and they're taking care of business. Grady's doing a great managerial job too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grady's doing a great managerial job too. the dodgers are simply hot right now. its not about aplying shitty teams. we've seen them get cleaned out by the pirates. they're just really streaky. plus they aren't that bad of a team. though starting pitching is a weakness. there's no ace little can put his faith in. penny has struggled, although i think he's hurt, right?

Guest Report post Posted September 30, 2006 They've owned the Rockies and Giants all season, is what I was trying to say. Yes, Penny's hurt, but he's probably going to start Game 1. EVERYTHING has to go right for the Phillies to get in, and with Maddux on the hill today, they can forget about taking a spot from the Dodgers. They blew it when they lost in Washington. If it's not for Mike Stanton closing for the Giants, the Phillies are one game back. I mean, MIKE STANTON? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They make fun of Boof Bonser's stats yet here are some of the Yanks pitching stats Randy Johnson 17-11 5.00ERA 172K 60Walks 1.24 WHIP Jarrett Wright 11-7 4.39ERA 80K 56Walks 1.51WHIP Yeah looks like Wright is worth all that big money that was spent on him.

The Man in Blak 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2006 Unbelievably stupid move by LaRussa to "unintentionally" walk light-hitting Mike Rivera to load the bases with two outs for the pitcher's spot, forcing Yost to take Ben Sheets (100 pitches) out of the game. Unfortunately, Tony's master plan failed to account for the reality that a pinch-hitter (Jeff Cirillo) would be put in the game in Sheets' stead. Cirillo sends one back up the middle to drive in two. 2-0 Brewers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
