Dice-K's WHIP is better than every pitcher in the Red Sox rotation except for Josh Beckett. You won't say shit about Curt Schilling or Tim Wakefield, though, with their hugely important veteranosity to consider.

Astros suck, but Hunter Pence homers twice.

Yanks lose, but so do Boston and Seattle. *sigh*, coulda been a great day to gain ground on both teams.

No-hitter for Boston

Yankees cry.

CLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
BUCHHOLLLLLLLLLLLLLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Lol.

lol @ blue jays. taking 1 of 3 from the Rays, including a 9th inning collapse to lose a 4-1 ballgame 5-4. Then they did it again tonight against the Tigers. Maybe if that Johnson out (It -was- a flyout, was shown on replay) had not been blown, maybe we'd have taken it.


and this is why we aren't a playoff team. But no surprise, Johnny Mac had another amazing defensive game. Getting rid of him would only be stupid. It's not like he's the sole reason our offence has been sucking; he's helping the team a LOT more with his D than he's hindering it with his crappy O.

Not even close. Good offense with bad defense helps a team much, MUCH more than good defense with bad offense helps it. McDonald is a career .240/.278/.315 hitter. That is 44% WORSE than league average. And if you buy into WARP3, he's worth 3.5 wins with his defense. If anything, his defense evens out what he lacks in offense, it doesn't contribute more. He's an asset to his team, but if I were the Blue Jays GM, I would look for an upgrade in my outfield and corners before I resigned him.

He's in his 30s now and his skills will only decline...they always do with defensive shortstops. He should be used as a platoon player, plain and simple, but he makes a lot of pretty catches and smiles a lot so people hail him as a God.

Man I don't even enjoy or watch baseball, but the Phillies are like the most inconsistent team ever - 12-0 loss to Colorado, followed by a 4-12 victory above Colorado the next night, lewls

FUCK YES! 6 Run 8th for the yanks to take the lead 8-7 over Boston. I wish I could watch the game, but I don't get ESPN in the dorm. =(

Wooo about to be 3 1/2 out.

Edit: Go Phillies! They can take the division too.

uh, do you realize that this is pretty commonplace in the sport? right? Game-to-game teams are going to have different starting pitchers, different starting fielders, and possibly different batting lineups.

Just read the first sentence of the quote and it all makes sense.

so much for Eric Gagne being my comeback player of the year in the AL, I still think Dmitri Young will win it in the NL

2 1/2 out now! Fuck yeah toronto. And Phillies can take the division from the mets soon too. Only 2 games out for them.

Another W for the Indians.

Go Reds, what what.

1.5

Phillies are coming back too.

20th round draft pick JR Towles with a team-record 8 RBI last night. He's a pretty good prospect. Bats over .300 routinely with a good OBP and 15-20 HR power from the catcher position. He's good behind the plate too. Not a superstar, but is he a massive offensive upgrade from Brad "GIDP" Ausmus? Oh yes.

Check out his semi-creepy overly religious website: www.jrtowles.net.

wow, SINGLE A

Apparently the Giants aren't going to re-sign Barry Bonds next year

He'll probably play for the Angels since the A's dont need a DH with Cust who should not be playing in the outfield on anyone's team and with Piazza's AMAZING inability to stay healthy playing DH

Yankees will sign him. =(

Eh, he just doesn't update his site. He moved up to AA and played there most of the year then went to AAA.

2.5

That S looks really small compared to the other letters.

Nice to see Chicago racking up the wins at this point in the season. I would hate to go in like St. Louis did last year.

Yeah, you know, I'd hate for my team to go in and win the World Series.

I went to my first baseball game the other day.

D-Backs destroyed those fucking Dodgers.

Back to 1 1/2 now. Lets make it 1 tomorrow.

About time!

The Indians are a very scary team in the postseason.

did I say anything about the postseason

Ryan Howard is one strike out away from setting a new MLB record for the most strike outs in a single season.

Howard for MVP olololol

meh, he probably just has a ton of at bats. I've yet to check his stats.

I'm gonna live in the past and post this up:

Lol what a fag.

He's also a fantastic hitter.

Actually he missed like a month with a quad injury.

I love the national league races. 4 games left to play and 7 teams are still in it. Right now its looking like the Mets, Diamondbacks, Cubs, and Padres as the wild card. At the end of the season for all we know it could be the Phillies, Padres, Brewers, and Rockies as the wild card. God I love baseball. Football doesn't have these type of post season races since they have so few games.

It's mostly because there is a lot more parity in baseball compared to the NFL. I remember reading that NFL games are by far the most predictable as far as outcome is concerned.

There are some crazy tiebreaker scenarios too, because there is sure to be at least one tie coming along by Sunday.

http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20...sp&c_id=mlb

what does that have to do with him tying the record?

edit: and he broke the record batting against Smoltz tonight

No no-hitter for the Mets again.

AND GIGANTIC LOL FOR METS FANS

ROCKIES WINNNNNNNN


tiebreaker game tomorrow

LOL

CUUUUUBBBBSSSSS

Racist.

Holy crap what a game!
