I don't know who.

 

Read in the paper this morning that Ellsbury was sent back down after game 2 last night, and Kielty will be activated today.

Jose Tabata’s season is over as he needs surgery on his right wrist.

 

Peter Abraham

 

Super outfield prospect who's 18 and has been mashing in A-ball.

White Sox extend Jermaine Dye; 2 years, $22 million, option for a third year at $12M. I think it's dumb. What do you think?

[Brett Favre 0]

I think it's alright, but I don't like the option unless it's the team's option.

Peter Abraham

 

Super outfield prospect who's 18 and has been mashing in A-ball.

He's slugging 9 points above the FSL average. Mashing is kind of a strong term. Assuming he makes it back though, he's the Yankees' #1 prospect (after Chamberlain exhausts his eligibility).

The Sox can't afford to lose any more offense, they have little minor league depth and this isn't a long term commitment. Dye had a bad slump making his numbers look bad but he's been solid the last few months.

[Guest Soriano's Torn Quad]

He seems too creaky to rely on for 2009, though.

I think the Sox overpaid for Dye. I feel that he is worth no more then 2 years, 18 million. Even then I wouldn't be happy about the signing.

A quick note on Brandon Webb. He's the first pitcher to throw three straight shutouts since Roger Clemens in 1998.

[Vern Gagne 0]

Not really a fan of the reunion weekends.

What's even more amazing is how the D-backs scored the 3rd least runs over the season and yet, in first place. The Nationals and Giants being 1 and 2 thus far.

OH MY GOD MOTA GOT OUT OF AN INNING

 

DANCE WITH ME MET FANS DANCE WITH ME

I spoke too soon.

I was working and missed the game, but the box score says Farnsy threw an inning in a 5-2 game. NYYFans must have crashed.

Billy Wagner saves another game and brings his ERA down to 1.50 in the process. He really is having a remarkable year, one of the best for a Mets reliever in the team's history. Jesse Orosco and John Franco had some damn good seasons.

David Ortiz is going to knock one into the Budweiser seats sooner or later.

And it will all be for nothing when he blows a couple games in the playoffs. Like he always does.

Oh God please, let's not start this again. It was bad enough last October and took away from the usually enjoyable playoff threads

Isn't Garret Anderson labled as one of the "good guys" of the game?

 

He faked out a five year old on giving him a ball at the end of the game. Asshole.

[Vampiro69 0]

What a game for Johan Santana against the Rangers today.

 

8IP 2H 0R 0ER 0BB 17K

 

That now lowers his season ERA to 2.88.

[Smartly Pretty 0]

Why didn't he go out for the 9th?

I laughed.

[Vampiro69 0]

Santana was already at 112 pitches.

[Smartly Pretty 0]

oh, alright.

 

By the way, the mets carried the momentum against the dregs of the nl in 5-1 fashion. in case anyone was wondering. (we're almost at september, i've gotta start getting in we're-the-best-team-ever mode)
