[The Dustball]

Aaaaaaand Seattle strands two men in the ninth. It's going to extra frames.

[The Dustball]

Now Putz gives up two straight walks in the 10th. Two men on, one man out for the Rays. Please don't blow it, we need to pick up a game tonight/this morning.

[The Dustball]

3 straight walks. Unreal.

[riverside sluggers]

Tampa wins again, that 7 game losing streak before the break only made them stronger.

 

3 potential playoff teams have lost players for the rest of the season

 

Chicago- Jose Contreras with a ruptured achilles tendon. This will take 9 to 12 months rehab. Chicago lost and are now behind Minnesota for the Central Lead. The Wild Card will no doubt come out of the East

 

Arizona- Orlando Hudson, discloated left wrist. A blow to the D-Backs as they try to fend off the Dodgers. A good bet the Wild Card will come out of the Cntral

 

Houston- The Astros have won 11 out of their last 15 games in hopes of jumping into the race... But Carlos Lee, 26 HRs/97 RBIs, wont have a chance of returning next month with a broken finger

Look who made the claim.

[TheKilo]

Look who made the claim.

 

Oh I know.

 

He must not have been thinking clearly...Bernie Mac is DEAD, you know.

[TheKilo]

Minny and KC in 10 innings. Is it too much to ask to get some help from the Royals?

[TheKilo]

KC 2nd and 3rd one out in the 10th

[TheKilo]

Alex Gordon sucks balls.

[das11209]

Did anyone else see Manny got hit in the head - that was scary.

[schillingouttheks]

Missed it.

[das11209]

Missed it.

 

Hit right on the head - but on the hemlet.

 

He looked fine though.

[a700hitter]

The Rays just lost to the A's 2-1.

[Cocos Disciples]

3 GB!

[Cocos Disciples]

White Sox hit 4 HR's in a row.

 

It's more of a quirky thing," Konerko said. "You see a lot of special things, whether it's a guy hitting his 500th home run. This was more like you probably won't see it again. You might see it once if you play the game for 10 or 15 years."

 

2007 Red Sox, 2006 Dodgers.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Mark Kotsay hit for the cycle today too, only the second in Braves history.

[msubulldogs21]

Mark Kotsay hit for the cycle today too' date=' only the second in Braves history.[/quote']

 

And their first since '87 too. Kind of surprising that a team who's had so much success over the past 2 decades wouldn't have had a guy hit for the cycle during that span.

[CrespoBlows]

Manny and Nomar are batting fourth and fifth for the Dodgers.

 

Has there been an instance when two players of an old team, batted in the exact same batting order for their new team?

[a700hitter]

Manny and Nomar are batting fourth and fifth for the Dodgers.

...and Gabe Kapler is batting third for Milwaukee in that game. He has hit a 2-run homer to outperform his former mates.

[msubulldogs21]

Twins beat up on the Mariners tonight.

 

White Sox currently leading the A's 4-3 in the 8th.

[msubulldogs21]

Jack Cust (my old HS baseball coach's minor league roommate) hits a solo bomb to tie it 4-4. Dotel has given up 2 HR's this inning.

[a700hitter]

Gabe Kapler just made a web gem catch robbing Russell Martin of a Home Run in the 7th inning

[Soxfan1]

Remember when Tgov said Gabe would be back one day and we all criticized him?

[msubulldogs21]

The Twins just took a 2-1 lead in the 12th at LAA. So much for that 1/2 game lead in the WC.

[Cocos Disciples]

White Sox lost the suspended game, won the second one, so no change in their standing.

[msubulldogs21]

Twins and M's are tied 1-1 after 5 in Seattle.

[TheKilo]

White Sox lost the suspended game

 

The guy who got the GWRBI was in AA when the same started.

[msubulldogs21]

Adrian Beltre just hit a 2 run walk off shot. M's win 4-2!

 

Extending the WC lead when we have a day off. I'll take it.

[riverside sluggers]

Beltre! At my work, during break time, there was actually cheers in the break room as we saw the ESPN update

 

In other news, the Dodgers lost last night 5-0 (4 game sweep)... Despite the fact that the Dodgers out hit the Phillies 13-10
