Buck Rogers in 1980 took over as manager of the Brewers 15-2 and that was the worst loss by a team in their manager's debut. Juan Samuel lost 11-0 in his debut..

I guess this doesn't count Dave Trembley when he lost 30-3 to the Rangers on the same day the Os announced that they removed the "interim" tag and made him the permanent manager..

Watching the Orioles play the Red Sox at home is so sad. It is so disgraceful how many Red Sox fans filled up that stadium. I seriously wanted to cry at the end of this game.

Was that the game where the closer for the Rangers actually ended up with a save due to some weird loop-hole in the rule?

Orioles main problem is their bullpen and part of their starting pitching since they are getting hits and scoring (although not as much this year) but their bullpen ends up like the Rangers and kills most of their potential wins.

Buck Rogers in the 24th and a half century.

Big day for Droford

<font color=goldenrod>Simpsons, actually. Homer at the Bat 4tw</font> :love:

<font color=goldenrod>Mets come back from a 5-run deficit to sweep the Marlins. Sweet.

Didn't see the game though, went to go see the Binghamton Mets (Mets' AA team) play the New Britain Rock Cats (Twins' AA team). Reese Havens looks really good, possibly the 2B in 2012 (or even 2011 depending on what happens to Castillo). Kirk Nieuwenhuis also was pretty impressive.</font>

<font color=goldenrod>Assuming he doesn't start the game before, I think we can pencil Ubaldo in as the NL Starting Pitcher right now.</font>

U - baldo can't touch this.

even the 2 runs he gave up today were kind of a fluke. Conor was just sitting on a changeup and it was long gone.

I don't think Ubaldo should have pitched that inning

Great Dodgers Braves series. Would love to see a playoff series as tense as all these games.

I didnt hear but the last two innings cause I went to a minor league baseball game, which the Os affiliate won 4-3.

Was really happy to hear the Os win on the way home though.

this Buehrle-meter stuff on baseball tonight is really annoying

So is anybody even remotely interested in the draft today?

<font color=goldenrod>You know, thinking about it...Ubaldo, Halladay, Lincecum, Wainwright, Johnson, Pelfrey, Broxton, Marmol

If all of those guys are healthy and available, the NL may actually win this year :o

Problem is, you aren't allowed to pitch in the game if you start the Sunday beforehand. Watch like half of those guys end up pitching that last day and become ineligible for participation.</font>

Never been too interested in the MLB draft because it's such a crap shoot and most players won't be heard from ever again. And the ones that do make it don't show up for years.

Unless you're super sexy like Mike Leake. :heart:

<font color=goldenrod>Mets will be going SP in the draft I'm sure, think there is a guy from UNC they are looking at, name escapes me. There are some solid bats coming up through the system now but they are still strapped for starting pitching prospects.

People keep calling into WFAN saying the Mets need to push hard for Cliff Lee. But I dunno. That move may very well put them into contention right through the end of the season, but it'd mean parting with most of the top prospects in the organization, including Jenrry Mejia. The system seems like it's only just now being re-stocked, so I can't see it being worthwhile especially since Lee has said numerous times that he will test the free agent market no matter what, and the Mets won't outbid a lot of the teams trying for him. If Lee agreed to an extension I'd say go for it, but shit like that doesn't happen in mid-season.

I mean look at the Brewers. Hindsight is 20/20 and all but I'm sure given how their '08 postseason went they would have rather not made the Sabathia deal. And even then, there was a more logical case for the Brewers making the trade since it'd been like 20 years between playoff appearances as opposed to 4 for the Mets.</font>

I loved a couple weeks ago when a Met fan called up saying YES is biased towards the Yankees

There's a hillarious Mastercard commercial to be made about this Perfect Game somewhere

I dunno about that. They got to the playoffs and LaPorta's been pretty terrible for the Indians. They were a sinking ship anyway so at least they got a nice run to the playoffs first.

<font color=goldenrod>True. Plus without looking, weren't LaPorta's 2 main positions LF and 1B? ie: the only two places the Brewers had no vacancies</font>

I'm going to watch to see who the Rockies draft so I can do some research on them

and so I can see Dante Bichette

Yankee fanbase here; I am going to see the Yankees AAA team play Chalrotte Knights this Wed. anybody I should be keeping an eye out for? I don't really pay attention to thier minor league team

Jesus Montero is supposed to be good. Catcher.

I saw him on the roster. I also saw Kei Igawa :lol:

1.2 IP, 11 R, 14 H

lol christ

I might have been exaggerating....by .1 innings pitched

either way, but I remember those games fondly.

speaking about a team of retards, check out the 1899 Cleveland Spiders

<font color=goldenrod>Guessing the Mets will get one of:

3B/2B Zack Cox
C/SS Justin O'Conner
OF Bryce Bentz
RHP Matt Harvey</font>

Peter Gammons just called Matt Wieters retarded.

uh..what?


Watching the draft..the Os are supposed to take Machado who is a good SS and they dont have any decent SS in the entire organization.

Major League Baseball Network Analyst Peter Gammons just called Baltimore Orioles catcher Matthew Wieters retarded.

no he didn't, he said his growth has been retarded by the team because they won't let him call games.

Yeah, Monstero is really up there on the list. Nova as well. Also you'll keep an eye on the guys who have seen big league action already. Melancon, Alba, Golson, Sanchez, Miranda, and Boone Logan sucks. If he comes out of the bullpen, boo him.

Brew Crew release Jeff Suppan.

<font color=goldenrod>Matt Harvey it is.</font>

wonder if he's any relation to Jeff Harvey?

haha

Delino Deshields JR! His father was from up the road a little.
