devo 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2007 Tee hee. http://www.wsoctv.com/mlb033/13222064/detail.html After watching Jorge Sosa give up two completely crushed home runs tonight, I'm somewhat concerned that he's going to slowly but surely regress into the batting practice throwing machine who gives up a homer every three innings or so. Still, overall, a very good start, and it's nice to see that the Mets probably won't have thirteen different starters this year. If Pelfrey's going to get his shit together, tonight's game would be a good time to start, since Sosa might very well be there to take his spot once Hernandez returns.

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2007 So has Willy Mo Pena always been that bad of a fielder? Great defense by the Orioles tonight helped them get the win. Not sure they'll get another in the series but that was a pretty impressive defensive performance and getting out of bases loaded jams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted May 12, 2007 I picked and chose a perfect game to go to. I went tonight because I figured, hey, if I go when the Reds send Arroyo out to pitch, that's probably the game that the Dodgers will win. And I was right. Didn't want to go when they were sending out some bullshit, because the chances of the Reds winning would highly increase if I was there. Uneventful game, but a win is a win.

Dobbs 3K 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2007 Brewers look to be on pace to tie the series against the Mets. They're leading 9-3 in the 9th inning, following a JJ Hardy grand slam. If I'm not mistaken, JJ Hardy now leads the NL in RBIs this season (and I think is tied in home runs). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2007 I was actually going to buy one of the old-skool Brewers caps I found at the flea market today, but it was too small, and I don't think I'm ready to be a 'hat-traitor' yet. Still, I really like the Brewers' glove logo. So, the big comparison for the Brewers is the 2006 Tigers, but the Brewers are actually 2 games better than the Tigers were last year at this time. I wonder if that makes them 'legit'. I still hold out hope that my 'Stros will go on a tear and the Brewers will fall off the map, but if it doesn't happen, I'll be happy with the Brewers in the postseason. They've got a lot of good young guys and respectable veterans on the team. It's hard to dislike them. And, if the 'Stros don't win the division, I always follow the 'A.B.C.' rule of baseball-Anybody But the Cubs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snuffbox 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2007 The Tigers should only get better as the season wears on & their health improves. The lack of injuries is another thing really helping Milwaukee thus far. Recently they've always run into injuries that brought about struggles (Sheets, Hardy, etc). So far the only injuries have been minor like the early-departures for Sheets/Suppan/Capuano (the bullpen saved the day each time) or the wrist injury that Corey Hart has battled through. With Hart we have seen that the offense is deeper than it has ever been in Milwaukee and his production hasn't been sorely missed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
