3B Coach has to be the worst job in the league. You only get talked about if you fuck up.
Case in point, Fernando Tatis and Chip Hale team up to run the Mets out of an inning. Fuck. |

Os lose 4-3 again.
Wasted a good start from the worst pitcher in baseball last year. |

God damn. Really torn on tonight's game. Mets were down 6-1 and showed a shitload of fight, worked out a load of walks, had the Marlins 'pen nervous as fuck, and tied it. Then Hisanori Takahashi goes on and gives up a run in the 10th to lose it, making the comeback meaningless.
Probably as gutting as an April loss could be, but ah well. Mets should just put a ban on Asian players at this point. They never work out in Queens. |

Red Sox offense didn't turn it on tonight when they needed to. People are calling into the local sports station panicking about Ortiz and how he should be benched for Lowell just because he's started the season 1-11. I'm willing to give him a month as the primary DH for the team, which is more than a lot of people will say, and if he is still behind on fastballs and hitting poorly, then he should platoon with Lowell or Hermida if Lowell is traded.
Solid outing by Lackey tonight. ![]() |

Starting pitching these last 2 games has been great and after the 1st 2-3 innings Beckett's start was decent as well. More concerned over the bullpen though especially with Papelbon since he needs to get better.

Went to the Braves game tonight. Glaus looks lost at the plate, but the end result was awesome. Was in left for Chipper's homer. Braves fans are getting pumped right now...its crazy. Still wish we could match the intensity of other team's fans.

"Good," he said, turning to face the reporters encircling him. "You guys wait 'til [expletive] happens, then you can talk [expletive]. Two [expletive] games, and already you [expletives] are going crazy. "What's up with that, man? [Expletive]. [Expletive] 160 games left. That's a [expletive]. One of you [expletives] got to go ahead and hit for me." |

As soon as Ortiz has a 2-4 game with a HR, most of them will shut up.

Phillies claim Nelson Figueroa. There will almost certainly be at least one game this season where letting Nelson goes bites the Mets right in the ass.

Apparently the chief ump for the Yankees/Sox series called both teams "emabrassing, a disgrace to baseball" and "pathetic and embarassing. They take too long to play."
Weird way to put it. If baseball really has a problem with times of games they can cut down on some of the stuff - taking forever to step in the box or the mound, trips to the mound, etc...but even after those things the games will still be long because both teams have a ton of patient hitters. No matter who the Yankees play they take forever because of this. |

Last night it ended at a pretty good time. About average, maybe a touch longer due to extra innings.
Tuesday there was no fucking excuse. |

Im not one to complain about umps giving calls to the Os here and there but it seems like the Umps have consistently blown calls the whole series in favor of them.

SUITE DEALS
Players whose contracts stipulate they get a hotel suite on the road: •Braves: Chipper Jones, Derek Lowe •Brewers: Ryan Braun, Trevor Hoffman •Cardinals: Ryan Franklin, Matt Holliday, Kyle Lohse, Brad Penny •Cubs: Carlos Zambrano, Carlos Silva, Aramis Ramirez, Alfonso Soriano •Diamondbacks: Dan Haren, Justin Upton, Brandon Webb, Chris Young •Dodgers: Manny Ramirez •Giants: Barry Zito •Indians: Travis Hafner, Kerry Wood •Mariners: Eric Byrnes, Chone Figgins, Milton Bradley •Mets: Jason Bay, Carlos Beltran, Jose Reyes, Francisco Rodriguez, Johan Santana, David Wright •Nationals: Jason Marquis, Ryan Zimmerman •Orioles: Miguel Tejada •Padres: Jon Garland, David Eckstein •Phillies: Shane Victorino, Raul Ibanez •Rangers: Ian Kinsler, Michael Young •Rays: Pat Burrell •Reds: Scott Rolen •Red Sox: Mike Lowell, Dustin Pedroia •Royals: Jose Guillen •Tigers: Miguel Cabrera, Johnny Damon, Carlos Guillen, Magglio Ordonez, Justin Verlander •White Sox: Jake Peavy •Yankees: Mark Teixiera, CC Sabathia --- A-Rod, Jeter, and Pujols not having it shocks me. Mind, I'm guessing many of the big-name players stay in suites anyway even if it's not explicitly written into their contracts. |
