Also, Latos decided to unravel in the 7tth, giving up some walks after punching out Brett Wallace to start the inning. Game was tied at 3-3 to start the 7th, and the 'Stros put up two more in that same inning to take the lead and put the game away.

Chase Headley hit a hanging curve ball 430 plus feet to center, for a stand up, 2 run double.

I could get all riled up about this loss, but at least they're starting to score, squaring up on pitches, and getting some hits. The game could have looked completely different had Hunter Pence's goody self not made a spectacular catch to start the 9th. He robbed Nick Hundley of a for sure leadoff double, possibly a triple. Back to bakc hits ensued, which would have meant at least a 5-4 game with two on and no one out.

So yea, positives are, they are putting the bat on the ball and creating scoring chances. Just a matter of putting it all together. If the Padres score 4 runs a game, I guarentee you they will win no less than 60% of the time. Pitching staff is far too good to lose games with that sort of run support.

It took a little over 2 weeks but the Red Sox finally managed to win 2 games in a row.

Tomorrow is going to be tough because its Dice-K vs Blue Jays #1 or #2 starter.

Yeah Fredi managed the game pretty shittily today.

Feels good to finally win. Speaks volumes about the Mets' bullpen that rotation members Chris Capuano and R.A. Dickey were used in relief.

Homestand against the Astros and Diamondbacks next week, going to Wednesday's game. If they want any hope of climbing into relevance they need to win both of those series.

Padres put some runs on the board, and actually kept coming up with big hits to beat the 'Stros 8 to 6 and split the series. I hope the offense carries over to Wrigley tomorrow.

Dice-K pitched great today. Just 1 hit allowed to the Blue Jays.

For some strange reason he only pitches great when its against the Blue Jays even though he struggles against teams who can hit HRs very well.

Joe Nathan is done. Just gave up a 3 run hr to Vlad on a 3-1 pitch in the 9th to make it 11-0. Vlad still hasn't drawn a walk this year either.

Quote:
PHILADELPHIA -- PhillieBot, the one-armed, three-wheeled robot, designed by engineers at the University of Pennsylvania, will throw out the ceremonial first pitch before Wednesday's game between the Philadelphia Phillies and Milwaukee Brewers.

The spectacle is part of Science Day festivities at Citizens Bank Park, said Evan Lerner, a spokesman for Penn's engineering school.

The pitching robot has been in the makings for a month and a half as Penn engineers Jordan Brindza and Jamie Gewirtz assembled parts and wrote software in their spare time, Lerner said.

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=6389703
The robot can be programmed to pitch like a MLB pitcher in both speeds and types of pitches but the Phillies made sure he only threw 30 mph or else people would want to do trades or put it in the Phillies rotation.

Futurama also said this is how the Robot Leagues started for baseball and then Blernsball.

Looks like holding onto Nathan hoping he'd soon recover the closing duties was a bad idea

Just came over the wire the MLB is taking over operations for the Dodgers. The McCourts can't coexist with each other and the team is strapped for cash. Frank McCourt took a $30 mil. loan from Fox to keep the team afloat.

Holy shit, and I thought the Mets had it bad with money.

MLB set to take over daily operation and activities of the LA Dodgers after the current owners are currently in a financial mess due to the divorce.

Unlike the time the MLB took over the Expos, MLB is only taking over the day-to-day activities of the team and won't be spending their own money for potential trades or signings. When they owned the Expos, the MLB had to fight off owners complaining MLB was spending their money on another team and MLB didn't want to give the Expos special status.

Im pretty sure Ben Maller is really upset about the dodgers.. unless he isn't

Os factoids of the night:

With a 2 run HR tonight with a runner at 2nd, Matt Wieters is 6 for 6 with RISP. I cant find any records dealing with RISP though.

Mark Reynolds is 0 for his last 26 with the bases loaded with 18ks...CHOKER
