not really actually, not surprised they lost

Chacin making his first major league start was bound to be bad

Youk was a bitch that take down, damn - pitcher was running away too.

Whatever though at least they won, going tomorrow night :cool:

lol Youkilis getting owned.

he threw like a girl too.

Porcello looked like he was going to cry. But them BAM. Walker, Texas Ranger style.

...well OK no, but he sure made up for what was a bad appearance.

It was a missed tackle. I don't think Porcello really did anything. Sometimes the person who goes for a take down ends up on the ground first

Jesse Carlson needs to be designated. Fuck is he awful

lol come on, Youk tossed his helmet at him and then blew it on the tackle. Why was he trying to tackle him anyway? He should have come in throwing blows like Coco Crisp

Yeah, and who does the ump toss, instead of just Youk, like it should have been? Youk and Porcello BOTH, and I will guarantee beyond a shadow of a doubt that's what cost my boys their game last night, and subsequently allowed the White Sox, with their victory last night, to scoot closer to us in the AL Central.:nono:

LOL, if he had done that, he'd've been stretchered off the field instead of walking off.

Hope we get Detroit and Boston matched up in the ALDS now.

no, please no

All eyes are on Wrigleyville tonight. Pedro returns. I may just tune in and watch this one.

lol right that'd mean the Yankees get the Angels

Does anybody else find it pointless when a starting pitcher gets suspended for 5 games? They're really only missing just one game.

:lol:

Mets put Gary Sheffield on waivers and a team actually claims him. Mets pull him back, however.

A. Which team(s) would be interested in him?

2. Why put him out waivers in the first place?

<font color=goldenrod>Nearly every player in the big leagues is put on waivers, just for the hell of it, to gauge potential interest. Claims rarely ever occur though, mostly out of fear that the team could say "okay then, you can have him" like what the White Sox did with Rios. Back in the day the Yankees were forced to take Jose Canseco and his salary even though they only claimed him to keep him away from Boston.

My guess would be a team needing a bat off the bench would have claimed Sheffield. Really not sure why the Mets wanted to keep him other than that they are hoping they can get some sort of miracle run as they still have a ton of games against NL East opponents.

I also read that Manuel would be interested in bringing Sheffield back for 2010...which, as good as he's been this year, if he is on next year's Mets, something has gone drastically wrong. They need to get younger and more athletic.</font>

Pedro 5 innings, 3 runs, 5 k's, in line for the win.

While I certainly think the Braves and Marlins will give the Phillies a run for their money, I think the Phillies have done the best they can to make a run throughout the rest of the year.

A. Sheff was having a very good year. his biggest problem was he is playing too much due to alllll of the mets injurys. he started breaking down himself as expected. most contending teams would love to have garys bat coming off the bench.

2. just to see what they could get probably...or they would have let him go but it as a team like the phils or the marlins and the mets didnt want him goin there


they did the same with feliciano

i know your a big mets fan...did you ever check out www.nyfuturestars.com
its a great site for all the minor league news and player updates and crap. its not my site or anything..just though id share :)

Dammit all, fucking Tigers lost again to the Red Sox (:nono:), and the sad thing is we probably should have won at least one or 2 games in this series already. I hope the fucking White Sox lose and at least allow us our 2 games of breathing room.:(

Wonder if the Jays put Wells on waivers, if there would be any takers?

the same Angels that the Red Sox steamroll every year in the ALDS? Any team thats worth its playoff salt should have no trouble beating them.

They're good again this year, but they always win a shit division and find themselves overwhelmed in the ALDS

They always seem to have the Yankees' number in the postseason, though.

God I love Dodgers-Giants baseball

<font color=goldenrod>Vernon has more than likely already cleared. Like I said, teams often put their entire rosters on waivers for the sake of masking their intentions. But in most cases those players will go unclaimed because it's obvious the team doesn't want to trade them and would just pull them back in the event of a claim.

In Vernon's case, he probably cleared because nobody wants that contract. It's unfortunate but he seems like a case of "alright, got my big deal, later guys..."</font>

The Mets need him.

Shane Victorino is pressing charges against a Cubs fan who threw beer on him while he was making a catch.

http://d.yimg.com/a/p/sp/getty/77/fu...ladelphia_.jpg

Is there really any doubt that Cubs fans are just the worst, least classy pieces of shit?

I want to say Padres fans, but I have yet to find one. :shifty:

<font color=goldenrod>God no. I would have had an interest in Rios, but not Wells.</font>

I would have thrown that beer at Victorino too. I f beer at Wrigley wasn't like 8 bucks a pop.

Ironically, Phillie fans are bigger pieces of shit than Cubs fans.

Example?

They throw batteries at players they don't care for

and dirty toilet paper

That was over 10 years ago. Pretty much every city has piece of shit fans.

<font color=goldenrod>lol the wrong guy got ejected from Wrigley. Watching the video you can clearly see someone else threw the cup. The fans in that area must be douches cause they didn't stick up for him and point out the actual guy...must have been a case of nobody seeing.

And the only Phillies fan in the bleachers threw a peanut on the guy on the way down the stairs.</font>

lol that's amazing

I read they ejected a bunch of people.
