There's going to be a brawl in this game. I can feel it. Beckett has already started shit with Gardner for stealing signs.

Wouldn't be surprised considering every year both sides have at least one bench clearing incident and ESPN does have this as the main image right now.

Could someone explain to me why the Mariners gave Jack Z a new deal?

Jon Lester vs. AJ Burnett. Hopefully he chokes in the 1st instead of the 5th so I can watch the Giants.

Can't the Yankees and Red Sox have a normal game?
All the games are either high scoring...or long...or controversial. |

Turns out Dave Einhorn isn't going to buy a stake in the Mets after all.

Also, Frank McCourt has recieved an $1.2 BILLON dollar offer to sell the Dodgers. L.A. Marathon founder Bill Burke leads the group with backing from Chinese and American investors.
Forbes valued the club at $800 mil. back in march. Guy should just take the money and run. |

When did they call up Montero? I didn't think it'd happen until tomorrow at the earliest. You know the time they aren't playing the Red Sox. I think bringing him up when there's less on the line is a better idea.

On August 31st your playoff roster eligibility is set. That day's 25 man roster plus anybody on the DL is eligible. I THINK the other rule is that anybody on the 40-man roster who is on the 60-day DL can be replaced by anybody in the organization that plays the same position (pitcher for pitcher, infielder for infielder, etc.). Also any replacement player must be in the organization by August 31st. I remember a few years ago the Red Sox bizarrely traded for Mike Stanton on the 2nd to last day of the year even though they had clinched a playoff spot and he couldn't be on the playoff roster.
They may have changed the rules though. Either way I'm sure Montero would have been added to the roster yesterday if it was the only way to guarantee he could be on the postseason roster. |

Yankees have a couple guys on the 40-man roster they could move to the 60 day DL if they wanted Montero on the postseason roster.
Quick 40 minute first inning for the Yankees/Sox. |

Justin Verlander is THE DUDE.
He's about to get his 21st win of the season on September 3... ...crazy to think about what numbers he'd put up if he was on a team like the Yankees or Red Sox. |

Strasburg is starting in DC on Tuesday. He'll be on track to make 4 starts...although it's expected that the Nats are going to give him extra rest in certain spots in order to ensure that he only pitches at home to maximize attendance.

Texas mounted a comeback late, but it wasn't enough. May watch a bit of the Red Sox game to see what we gotta deal with come post season.
Cleveland and Detroit got 6 more games against each other. REALLY hoping the Indians give the Tigers a last minute run and overtake them and win the AL central. |

...I'd have him pitch in Winter Ball or whatever...It just seems rushed, even though it probably isn't. They aren't playing for anything, so there's no reason he HAS to pitch this season. |

Everybody heals from TJS at a different pace, and once rehab reaches a certain point they have to pitch in live games. He was going to get his rehab innings in one way or another, so may as well call him up and reap the gates from it. Just as much of a chance he'd get injured pitching in Double A than he would in the majors. I'm sure he'll be on a strict pitch count anyway.

Hell, the Mets might be doing the same thing with Johan. He's rehabbing and the odds are that he won't be ready to pitch a full game by the end of the season. But I could definitely see the Mets letting him throw a rehab game at Citi Field for 3-4 innings, simply to get him re-acclimated to a big league mound. It would probably draw a big to a meaningless late September game as well.

Lucas Duda has a legit bat. Definitely see him being the Opening Day right fielder next year. Hoping they straighten out the right field wall at Citi Field to make it a bit easier to play/give a very slight boost to batters. He hasn't been terrible out there, but I could see him being lifted for a defensive replacement when ahead after 7 innings. Also definitely think Ruben Tejada should be a regular in the lineup, at second if Reyes re-signs, at short if he isn't. His defense is awesome and his offense finally seems to have come around.
If Reyes comes back, I could see the Mets returning the same lineup they have now except with Ike Davis at first base. It might not set the world on fire, but it's a group of players that have been consistently fun to watch all season. R.A. Dickey is a blast to watch, Niese has shown flashes of brilliance, Johan can hopefully be Johan again, and the bullpen should be re-tooled. Terry Collins has provided energy and has proven most Mets fans (myself included) wrong when we didn't think he'd be a good leader for the current roster. Sandy Alderson has done a great job of stocking the farm with more promising, young talent. I could definitely see Matt Harvey up next August/September and a member of the rotation by 2013. 2012 will likely be another rebuilding year, but it should be very fun. I feel like the franchise is finally on the right track after many Omar disasters. |

"Rivera gets Double J..HA HA..JJ Hardy to end it" Hmm, I think the Coach is wearing off on the people at Bristol. |
