He's dialed in right now, most definitely. I have been dreading this series the last few days because of how he is just mashing the ball. If you try to pitch around him, you have Howard and Burrell right behind him.

After Bruce got his first out, I did some quick math on the calulator and figured that he could go 0-20 and still be batting .302 (13-43). Looks like he can go even further now after hitting that homer.

 

I can't say any more than what I and others have already said except for the fact that it is great to see him show power to the opposite field. Before that home run, he had been hitting flops and low liners the other way. It is way early, but I can see him getting a batting crown or two in his career if he can keep up spraying the ball.

Majewski didn't necessarily look amazingly better than last year or the year before, but at least he was keeping it down and keeping it out of the air. If he can do that, I'll take him.

Since I may not get a chance tomorrow, there are rumors the Yankees will call up Dan Giese to their bullpen. Giese is 4-2 this season with a 1.98 ERA, 51 K's and 14 BBs in 59 innings. He doesn't have great stuff but he throws strikes and makes the offense beat him.

The Marlins had a shot to put away the Braves, but lost the lead on a wild pitch in the ninth with two outs. Both teams are blowing opportunities.

If this was a road game it surely would have ended at 5-4 Florida. But since we're at home 7-5 Braves win with a walkoff shot from Yunel Escobar. Is there someway Atlanta can play all 162 games at home? Because the way this season is going they'd win 130 games.

That's it, Rick Peterson needs to be fired. This "don't throw strikes until you have to" bullshit is killing the careers of Perez and Maine. Teams are just waiting them out until they get a pitch and then are mashing them

 

There's no way the Mets are re-signing Perez. I bet Boras will still get a good deal for him

Calm the fuck down.

 

So, the Red Sox miss Scott Kazmir in this series with the Rays. They really lucked out there. I don't know that anyone in the AL is pitching better than Kazmir. It sucks that the Rays finally get a nationally televised game and Edwin Jackson starts.

Hey, what's with the Giants? They're not completely fucking awful! I had them pegged for well over a hundred losses, and they'll probably only finish with 88 losses or so. fire and the passion?

Tim Lincecum is really fucking good is what's up with them and he might single handily keep them from losing 100 games. They are 9-3 when he starts, 15-30 with anyone else on the mound.

Nice of the Mets to get spanked by the Giants tonight. Oliver Perez is beginning to reach that point when he starts to become a liability as a starter -- are his few great starts this season really enough to outweigh his dreadful ones like tonight...giving up six earned runs without getting out of the first inning?

 

He was supposed to be a solid #3 starter. Solid #3 starters don't tend to acquire 5.70 ERAs.

The Cubs actually won a road game, but I'm becoming concerned with Lou's use of Marmol. He's clearly the best arm in the pen, yes, but that doesn't mean Lou can use him in every single close game. He freaks out too quickly and goes to Marmol. Even though it's usually a good move in the context of that single game, Marmol's racking up the innings and he's given up homers in back-to-back games. Tonight's was a three-run shot that made it a one-run game and thus, required a Kerry Wood appearance.

 

That homer, by the way, meant that Edmonds wound up having the game-winning RBI.

The Yankees lost the game tonight in the 8th inning. Joba's inning. *sigh*

The game was tied. Joba has only come into a tie game twice this season. The Yankees had seven games where they were tied in the eighth coming into last night, so the other five times a different pitcher got the ball.
