woah, Giambi for another
|
He's catching up to Ichiro :rofl:
|
lol
|
Mariners really need a win tonight. Not that they're in contention or anything. Just so they can
win one for Booney :( |
What the hell is wrong with Keith Foulke
|
WTF, how many blown saves does he have after tonight? :mad:
|
at least 6
|
Dan Kolb is still up for sale.

Yankees are up 10-0 in the 4th.
Pretty ridiculous, the starter for the Orioles gave up 10 runs, 1 earned. |
lol yeah wtf, every pitch Lopez threw was a belt high 92 mph fastball. Meat
|
You can't hit the ball without swinging the bat. Meat.
|
Kuip, when the cutters coming over the plate, the batter has no CHANCE at that pitch.
I heard that like 5 times in a row one game. |
Kotsay, Oakland's center fielder, made a spectacular play in the bottom of the 11th when he faked as if he was going to catch Gabe Gross' blooper before letting it drop. He then flipped the ball from his glove to his hand and forced out Russ Adams at second.
``That's one of the best plays I've ever seen,'' Macha said. ``What a play. And clutch. It could have been first and second and nobody out. That's why people who don't see this guy everyday don't appreciate what he does. That won the ball game.'' :D fivehunderedddddddddddddd |
God Macha is such a stupid dickhead it's unbelievable. Hatteberg bailed you guys out but Macha made 9829862 stupid decisions
|
Timlin was 1-2-3 in the Ninth tonight. Helped by a great catch from Damon.
Foulkes days as closer might be numbered..You know its going to be all over the talkshows tomorrow |
Oh my god, you should have seen the strike zone while Shields and F-Rod pitched tonight. The beginning of the game was rediculously slow, but it was like a high school ump at a Babe Ruth game.
|
Schilling to closer? :|
|
Saw that too, it just might work
|
Quote:
He didn't fake catching the ball, in fact he just missed catching it and because it was so close, Russ Adams was caught in no man's land. Jesus Christ, I watched that game. Someone is gay for Kotsay |
Sox: Schilling to pitch out of bullpen
BOSTON (AP) - With their struggling closer on the disabled list and their ace at partial strength, the Boston Red Sox are sending Curt Schilling to the bullpen to plug a gap there and help him work his way back from an ankle injury. "It's definitely the best thing for him," Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein said Wednesday, " ... and it just so happens to be exactly what the team needs right now." rest of the story |
I don't think Schilling with close. Timlin is actually a closer, I think they will just keep using him. He has like 119 career saves.
|
I could see him doing it though. Be pretty crazy.
|
Yeah I agree with Outlaw, I could see him being a real good closer. They might as well try it, as it sounds like they are, and then if it works out you have Timlin and Foulke able to go earlier in the games. I'm interested to see how it turns out.
|
Cards win on a suicide squeeze.
|
Schilling will be a great closer. At this point I don't think it's a serious blow to the starters if he goes to the bullpen.
|
LOL Wow. crazy day. Jay Payton basically kicked off the team, Vaquez traded for Cora. Plus a few players benched for speaking out againest Schilling in the pen. Crazy Red Sox lineup for a 6 inning game.
|
Only 3.5 back now.
Giambi with another homerun today too. |
Yankees only have three starters right now though, not sure who's going to fill in for Pavano. I really can't see Sturtze going again.
|
Giambi is on a roll. :eek:
|
Halladay got hit last night on the shin. Dammit. That was a terrible game to watch as a Jays fan. Not only him getting hurt, but the terrible defence by the Jays (hurry back O Dog) and their inability to mount any offence past the second inning.
|
Fucking great defense by the O's today. Ortiz got robbed of a 3 run homerun by Matos and like 4 other great plays by them today.
|
A's sign OF Mark Kotsay to a 3-year extension.
Don't work Yankees, you got a guy who hit .267 in AA now |
Yeah, some great plays by the Orioles today. I saw two great ones by Matos, one robbing Ortiz and then one diving one, and then one by Roberts where he went behind second to make a play.
The Yankees have Darrell May pitching today, I heard he was doing pretty awful before coming to NY. I dunno, I guess we will see. |
Halladay is out for a month with a fractured shin bone.
|
god dammit. 5-2 Indians. gonna need 10 runs here.
|
Yeah, he's pitched almost 100 pitches already.
|
7-6 now. I hate not being able to watch the games :(
|
ALRIGHT DANNY GRAVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
Huge 7 run ninth inning by the Jays last night :cool:
Too bad they needed 9 just to tie. :'( (lost 12-10) |

Weird, the Twins and Royals are wearing retro uniforms today. I have no idea what the Twins uni's are, they say STPG, but I'm not sure who that would be. Back in the day we had the St. Paul Saints and the Minneapolis Millers (farm teams of the Dodgers and Giants I think). I don't think this is either of them though.
|
Sounds like a negro league tribute thing. St. Paul Gophers were from Minnie in the early 1900's.
|
St. Paul Colored Gophers, negro leagues
|
Giambi with another. On fire
|
Giambi with another today. On fire
|
If the A's somehow make it past the Angels for the AL west and meet the ChiSox in the playoffs, I have no fear.
|
Jays rally in the 9th again today... only to loose.
Texas :mad: |
My predictions for the AL playoffs, as of right now:
White Sox Red Sox Red Sox win pretty easilly, lose maybe one game Angels Twins Good series, obviously I am going to say Twins, but thats just me. Anyway, I'd be pretty surprised if the Red Sox and Cards don't meet in the World Series again. |
Sorry Roxer but the AL West race is over. A's still have a shot at the wild card but I see the Yankees and Twins having better second halves.
|
IF
Yeah, I don't see them toppling the Angels either but IF. And I doubt they'll take the wild card. |
AL East is gonna be interesting for the 2nd half
|
The AL East is all fucked up now. The Red Sox are sputtering for no reason, the Yankees are randomly surging, and the Orioles are just sitting right in the middle. In the end, I think the Red Sox are the most complete and most together team, so I predict them coming out of there.
|
Boston gets:
RP Chad Bradford Oakland gets: OF Jay Payton Great trade for the Red Sox, their pen sucks and Bradford kills righties. And Payton is pretty much useless for them. Oakland is apparently going to either immediately trade Payton to the Rockies or Yankees; or trade Eric Byrnes somewhere, maybe the Giants. I think trading Byrnes is stupid, but if they can get a quality reliever or a RH bat for Payton they should do it. |
Yeah I'm a fan of Byrnes too, I would hope they keep him in Oakland.
|
Hmmm. Isn't Bradford still on the DL? Too lazy to check.
|
He's making rehab appearances in AAA. With Street Duke Calero and Yabu they're pretty much set for righty relief.
|
Booney signed with the Twins. :love:
Thank god he signed with somebody who I don't hate. If he would've signed with the Rangers or Yankees or somebody I would've choked myself. |
Boone to the Twins for cash and a player to be named later I think.
|
I think Boone might fit in pretty well here. Hopefully at least. His glove will be a big addition as well. I'm interested to see how it turns out. The Twins still need to do more though.
|
Awesome segment on Baseball Tonight. I hope they show it again later so I can tape it. Basically they highlighted some ofl the great defensive players of all-time and showed some what would of been considered web gems before there was a "web gem" segment.
I like how they mentioed a few 1900 guys like Wagner and Speaker. |
Rockies get:
Eric Byrnes minor leaguer A's get: Joe Kennedy Jay Witasick Damn. I'll miss Byrnes. Shitty trade for the A's |
Although Eric Byrnes will be a fucking star in Denver
|
:(
|
Good player but I hated watching him all the time. I couldnt stand watching him catch shit he shouldn't have againest the Red Sox. Glad he's in the NL now haha
|
What "minor leaguer" The Miz?
|
Wish the D-Backs would have went after him in the off-season.
|
FIGURES! I have Byrnes and Quintinella's autograph on the same ball.
|
I guess you can't really take forgranted the player to be named. In trading AJ Pierzynski to the Giants two years ago, the player to be names was Francisco Lariano, who is apparently better then Santana at this point in his career.
|
Byrnes makes web gems almost every time he plays the field but he is pretty shitty defensively. The reason he has to dive is because he gets horrible jumps and he takes horrible routes to balls. But he was alot of fun to watch even though he was a moron. Colorado will be a better suit for him, he really didn't play "A's style" baseball. I expect him to hit about .310 with 30 homers and 30 steals next year
|
I just realized Oakland has now gotten rid of all the guys that either choked or did something really stupid in the playoffs. Byrnes, Tejada, Jeremy Giambi, Terrance Long, Mark Mulder
|
The Miz, A's or M's?
|
Damn, Yankees put Wang on the DL. Basically down to Mussina and Johnson now in the starting rotation.
|
I like the Byrnes trade for the Rockies. Apparently Quintanilla is a pretty good prospect.

haha, I'm the same. Just replace the Yanks with the M's. I have an A's sweatshirt I wear all the time.
I like the A's so much because they're just a bunch of young guys having fun. I remember back like two years ago, they did a segment on ESPN with Zito, Mulder, Chavez and one of the relief guys and they were all at someone's house playing basketball, throwing each other in the pool, playing the guitars, racing bikes and I remember thining how much these guys ruled. |

|
haha. yes. fuck you Schilling
A-ROD: :wave: |
Nice, 6-6 in the ninth and then Schilling comes in and gives up a 2 run homer to A-Rod. Still no outs.
|
:wave:
|
Rivera. Lights. Out
|
Rivera strikes out the last three. Pretty big win for the Yankees with Tim Redding and his 0-5 record and over 9.00 ERA pitching tomorrow.
|
LOL nice one Schilling. Where was Jesus for you on that one?
|
Miz is right about Byrnes and his poor jumps and shitty routes to fly balls. Once he looses half a step, he'll be a huge liability in the field... unless of course he learns to read the flight of the ball better off the bat.
|
lol great example of how Manny Ramirez sucks in the field, he tried to make a sliding catch but did it like 5ft away from the ball but Cano was dum and tried to have a triple and Manny just flipped it to third and got the assist
|

|
That's not exactly an outlandish prediction. The Red Sox won the world series last year and we don't know how the White Sox will do in the second half
|
1 more hit for Palmeiro, now needs just one more for 3,000. I think he's going to get it tonight.
|
Quote:
|
wow, I had no idea he was near 3,000.
3,000/500. Pretty dam good. Aaron, Mays and Murray |
Raphy is the man. Never got the respect he deserves, at least from my perspective.
|
yea, you're right. Very underated player.
|
9 seasons in a row where he hit 38 or more HRs and over 100+ rbis. 10 seasons of +35 HRs. He's never been on the DL.
|
Rich Harden has a perfect game through 6 against Texas
|
I'm not even turning on sports radio tomorrow. Going to be ridiculous.
|
lol fucking Rangers have had like 3 pussy injuries this inning like fingernail and shit, letting Harden sit there and think about it and get cold
|
Nice try Buck. Perfect through 7. :)
|
Lost it, Soriano.
|
lol the second ESPN goes live to the game Soriano gets a hit.
Probably going to the game tomorrow and the day after. After this weekend, events I will have witnessed: Edgar Martinez' final game Ichiro's record breaking 258th hit Ken Griffey Jr.'s 350th home run Rafael Palmeiro's 3000th hit |
