EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2007 National Television WEDNESDAY LA Dodgers @ Chicago Cubs 8pm, ESPN FRIDAY LA Dodgers @ San Francisco 10pm, ESPN SATURDAY Minnesota @ Chicago White Sox, 3:55pm Fox Florida @ Philadelphia, 3:55pm Fox LA Dodgers @ San Francisco, 3:55pm Fox Chicago Cubs @ Pittsburgh, 7pm Fox Cleveland @ Los Angeles Angels, 9pm Fox SUNDAY Cleveland @ LA Angels, 8pm ESPN Last week the Red Sox, Indians and Angels opened up their leads in their respective divisions. The Mets weathered a four game sweep by the Phils and gained two games back on their lead. The Cubs lead by a game and a half, the D'backs and Padres are in a dead heat for the West. The Yankees lead the AL wild card while the D'backs/Padres loser gets that honor in the National League. If I had to pick a showcase series, it would be Seattle/Yankees midweek, Seattle/Detroit over the weekend. This is a big week for the AL wild card hunt.

the max 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2007 I'm split about the Red Sox avoiding the FOX/ESPN crap again this week. Toronto's guys aren't bad, but Baltimore's are terrible. Especially their radio guys who called Fenway Park a "toilet" a few weeks ago. Then again, being saddled with Buck/Grampa/Miller/Morgan is worse. Hopefully Seattle can pull their heads out of their asses and get some wins against the Yanks this week. Lead is back to 6 and magic number at 20. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2007 Gigantic series with Seattle starting at the Stadium tomorrow afternoon. It'll be Clemens vs. King Felix, so we know all game long they're going to tell us all about the big age difference between the two and yada...yada....yada.

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2007 Rotoworld is reporting that Juan Encarnacion's career is in serious jeopardy. He may have suffered a permanent loss of vision as a result of the foul ball that struck him in the eye Friday night. He certainly doesn't have a great rep and he's far from what most would consider a good player, but this is pretty tragic news. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

devo 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2007 I woulda requested tomorrow off (yes, I have to work on Labor Day) and gone to the game if they had announced Pedro's start even just a few days ago. Stupid impulsive Mets management. Here's hoping for a successful return, if only because it'll be pretty anticlimactic if Pedro gets knocked around tomorrow after the fans and the organization have been eagerly anticipating his return for nearly a year.

Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2007 Does Fox have enough announcers for all those games? According to Wiki Joe Buck Thom Brennaman Josh Lewin Kenny Albert Matt Vasgersian Dick Stockton Lewin is the only one who doesn't do either the NFL or college. They might keep one of the guys on baseball, but they'll probably have the local announcers do the games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted September 3, 2007 Need to win both the series against the Cubs and the series against the Giants or that's it. I'm not worried about the Giants series, but the Cubs one is critical. They need to grab the games after the Zambrano start and play the Giants like the Dodgers have been playing them in Frisco over the past few seasons. The game tomorrow I'm already counting as a loss. A stolen win there would be huge, certainly unexpected. The Dodgers always (for as long as I can remember) play like shit against the Padres in San Diego, it's a bottom point in every season and makes things tough.

You really know how to take a joke that was marginally clever and/or amusing to begin with and run with it. I'll give you that much. If you're patient, you might get to see actual prospect Josh Anderson in the outfield. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Soriano's Torn Quad Report post Posted September 3, 2007 No wonder your team is in the fuckin' cellar. Way to blow a lead, Oswalt.

vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2007 Yes, I am a complete moron who has somehow completely forgotten the fundamental win/loss rules of baseball and I think that a loss to the Brewers is worth less than a loss to the Cubs or Cardinals to the actual records of a team. Totally. I'd just rather see the Brewers in the postseason than the Cubs or Cardinals. And you are way too high-strung, my young friend. Go eat a Chicago-style hotdog. Those things are all good.
