I think his pitch count was getting up there, in the 90's I believe.

Pelfrey was damn impressive the first few innings today, shame he fell apart.
Kinda had a bad feeling about today. Though seeing Delgado hit an absolute SHOT was awesome. I can't wait to see the Aaron Heilman screwup on replay. For those who didn't see, there was a man on 3rd and 2 outs, routine grounder to Heilman, and for some reason he decided to nonchalantly jog to 1st instead of toss it to Delgado, and Burke beat him to the bag, run scores. ![]() From what I hear, the ump blew the call but I dunno. Didn't get a real good view of the play at the stadium and they didn't show replays. Still, I can't forgive Heilman for putting himself in that situation anyway. |

7-7 game right now though |

Great, the team with the best fielding pct. in baseball just made 2 errors in one play for Beltre to run all the way home.
![]() I can understand Crisp misplaying where the ball was gonna hit the wall (even though he REALLY misplayed it) cause the sun was in his eyes, but then Manny picks it up barehanded and bobbles it. Had he not bobbled it we would have been able to at least hold Beltre at 3rd. |

I'm glad Gardy took Liriano out today. I wasn't watching the game, but we've really got to be careful about over-using him. I was surprised that they left him in for 8.2 even though the Twins had like a 8-0 lead over the Devil Rays, but I guess the Twins have a pretty good history of knowing how to develop pitchers, so meh.

Toronto is at Seattle next. Back a couple months ago I had begun plans to go down and see these games. More wishful thinking than anything. I would have called out the Miz to meet up.

ESPN reporting CWS are close to acquiring Soriano from WAS with Brandon McCarthy going the other way, and Mike McDougal from KC for an AA pitcher.

Awful deal for Chicago IMO. You don't trade an elite SP prospect for a slugger when you have the best offense in the league and pitching is your problem
I like the MacDougal deal though |

Right, any website gunna give me baseball highlights that go back to last Thursday, I need to see my boys beating the Yankees.
Also, is www.mlb.com the best place to go for Baseball news or can someone point me to a better site. Anything but Sky Sports news, it only updated today for the Fri-Sun results. |

Where do you watch coverage if you miss a game on TV. Bollocks to staying up till 5am Sunday with work the next day. There must be websites with loads of footage

Use ESPN, MLB, or CBSSportsline for game recaps and play by play. For footage, I dunno, if you go to the official Toronto website on MLB.com they'll have like a 45 second highlight clip for each game but other than that Ionno

White Sox get:
RP Mike MacDougal Royals get: RP Tyler Lumdsen (AA) SP David Cortes (A) Now a done deal. Love it for the White Sox. Don't know much about the two prospects, but I suspect the Royals could've done a little better. They have the right idea at least |

Yeah I saw the clip on Torontos site but thats not nearly enough, I watched games for 4 1/2 hours, it cannot be compressed into 45 fucking seconds

Yeah I think it is kind of tough to get clips of full games and things like that since they actually want people to watch them on TV and not on the internet. I dunno if you can MLBTV over there? You pay a certain amount and you can watch any game going on on the internet, I'd assume they'd have replays that you could watch. I dunno if you can get it outside of the US though, but I don't see why not.

ou Yeah its available outside the US. So worth it if you're a huge baseball fan. $80 bucks for every single game the whole season. Seen like 93 Mariners games this year

I was gonna go for the MLBTV thing but having no money was spanner to my plans, may well go for it next year though as a graduation treat
![]() I've found it harder to get hold of highlight clips this year, i think on mlb.com you need to subscribe to see most stuff now |

55 quid eh, I'm guessing theres not much choice of what game you watch, you just get what your given yeah?
Also, any good sites to learn about how good players are, as I have no fucking idea right now, all I know is I likes what I've seen from the Blue Jays, probably don't know anyone outside of them to be honest. |

I think the best way to learn about who the good players are is to play fantasy baseball. Kinda late for that though.

Brandon Funston isn't the brightest guy but he has a list of the top 50 players in fantasy. The only problem is fantasy doesn't count things like defense, team chemistry and undervalues middle relief, but lists like that are a pretty good place to start for the best players out there today. |

Making a list like this is pretty impossible. Renteria is not a face of the Braves franchise. Not as much as Francouer, who is known around the league for swinging at every pitch ever and having one of the best throwing arms from the outfield. He's a Georgia boy too.
