Rumor has it the Reds will soon be calling Aroldis Chapman up to the majors as bullpen help.
Chapman has been working with the coaches at Louisville on tightening up his throwing motion to get better weight distribution. The result? His last game he was clocked twice at 103 MPH. YOU HEAR THAT, ALBERT. 103 |

I had a dream about Nolan Ryan last night. I fell asleep watching Sports Center where the featured story was him buying the Texas Rangers..
So the dream... He was driving his car in front of me and blew a tire. I pulled over and changed his tire for him and told him that I loved watching him play the game. He invited me back to his house and we played pool in his basement. End dream. |

That is the best catch I have ever seen.
Also Roy Oswalt sounds a little like Billy Bob Thorton from Slingblade. |

Phillies should have lost that game, but because of a bad call they win.
BOOM |

HORRIBLE call in that Phillies/Marlins game. And the umpire has the audacity after the game to reaffirm that it WAS a foul ball. He cost the Marlins the game and is so hard-headed that he won't accept he made a mistake.

Reds are back at Wrigley this weekend. Last time they were there, they outscored the Cubbies 30-8. Let's get some of that action again.

what's your opinion on Heisey vs. Stubbs? do you think Heisey could be the CF of the future instead of Stubbs?

The Marlins have by far the whiniest announcers in baseball. I understand being upset about a call, but god DAMN that's annoying (watch the vid, obv):

I look at the National League, and it looks so weak in comparison to the American League...
...I'll go as far as to say that whoever wins the NL Pennant will lose to whoever wins the AL. You look at the Yankees and Rays, for example, and then look at the Braves or Reds or Padres, and it's not even close. |

Not to mention that the Red Sox are in third place in their division and have a better record than all but 3 teams in the NL.

Injuries are destroying the Braves right now. That, and Glaus hasn't shown anything at all since after the All-Star Break. Its sad, because he still leads the team by far in RBIs. The Braves pitching continues to keep them in games.
Mike Minor will be pitching for the Braves on Monday. Don't know what Kawikami did to warrant being sent down to the minors for three weeks. Losing Medlen is huge. He would have been amazing in long-relief for the playoffs. That is, if the Braves even make it there. Thank the gods for All-Star Omar Infante. |

I gave up on the D'Backs. No desire to even go again this year, unless a really amazing pitcher is scheduled.

The Braves are giving you the lead, you might as well take it. They just lost to the Giants, allowing them to score two runs in the 9th and 11th without getting a hit.

Also it's nice to see that the Braves erected a statue of Chipper Jones at 3rd base. Nice to see that kind of dedication from an organzation. |

Someone break up the Orioles!
This just makes me wish they had gotten Showalter hired sooner instead of dicking around with Samuel for as long as they did. |

Fernando Martinez and Ruben Tejada called up to the bigs
Wonder who's going down then. My hope says Francouer and Castillo...though Francoeur and Cora would do just fine. At least Cora's vesting option for 2011 won't be an issue. Not really sure why they'd bother calling Tejada back up if they are just going to stick him on the bench, though. Omar hasn't got the balls to cut bait with guys like Castillo and Perez (or at least, the Wilpons won't let him). But it's better than nothing. |

If they didn't leave the bases loaded in the 1st, this game could easily be 10-2.

Boston sorta kinda plays the desperation card and sign Carlos Delgado to a minor league deal.
If Delgado is not on the big league roster by September 1st, he can opt out and become a free agent. 24 days to get from Pawtucket to Boston, I can see it happening. Kinda curious if he's been keeping himself in playing shape or if he's got some rust on him. |
