2 tuff games to lose the walk off granny and then to come back and get close only to fall short has to hurt. it aint easy against these .500 clubs

ya i was he was the best pitcher in the nl up till the point where i wanted to trade the city of pawtucket for him. schilling was an nl west guy too for the record schmidt was throwing 98 and winning in sanfrancisco,even led them to a world series that they had in the bag till their bullpen ate it. something happens once they sign in l.a. and its obviously this guy is finished after 2 years in the trainers room. coors was a hitters park till they humidified the ball,chase is where the dbax play? the ball carries well,luis gonzales hit 58 hrs there but arent their dimensions sort of long in the power alleys and dead center?

6 run 9th walrus had 1100 to make 5 on tampa and they pull out 6 in the 9th? hossshoe up his ass these days

9 out of 10 ballplayers who end up in andrews office get cut

i think they win the nfc last year with rogers at the helm no way did the gmen have business getting past the pack at home favre can still bring it but like elway,will thrive only in a balanced attack with a defense that stays off the field. in anycase let this be the end of the nonsense greenbay is f***ed either way unless they get out to a 7-1 start,the flannel wearing sweat hogs were already screaming for favre at practice yesterday,rogers and the coach are in a no win situation

all b.s. aside for a moment mussina has had a good year so far but i feel he's a time bomb or a pinata if you will,something thats ready to be beaten or explode. petitte isnt the same,hes serviceable as is mussina this has been nys problem over the last few years they have nobody dominant like chamberlain had been and they get beat in october,sometimes in slugfests and sometimes in close games but they get beat cause they dont have a legit stopper. wang? come on wangs another guy with good#S,real good #s during the season but he does a lot of tap dancing and as evidenced in october he is a man who can be had. boston over the years had aces but they never really had anything to go along with the #1. we never had much of a bullpen,clemens and hurst were a great 1*2 but raja didnt do so well in october,mike boddiker was like a mussina,couldnt break a pane of glass but put up solid #s thru the season only to get annilihated against the better teams in october. the angels and sox are both favored to win the pennant now,the #s are changing daily but the beating the angels laid on the sox tells me that they are a more balanced team with a better bullpen and more ways to beat you,especially adding a texeira to their lineup al odd to win the pennant courtesy of citybet.com Aug 10 - 6:00 PM 2008 AMERICAN LEAGUE PENNANT - ODDS TO WIN 3396 BALTIMORE ORIOLES +10000 3397 BOSTON RED SOX +150 3398 CHICAGO WHITE SOX +500 3399 CLEVELAND Guardians +10000 3400 DETROIT TIGERS +1000 3401 KANSAS CITY ROYALS +10000 3402 LOS ANGELES ANGELS +150 3403 MINNESOTA TWINS +500 3404 NEW YORK YANKEES +250 3405 OAKLAND ATHLETICS +10000 3406 SEATTLE MARINERS +10000 3407 TAMPA BAY DEVIL RAYS +300 3408 TEXAS RANGERS +10000 3409 TORONTO BLUE JAYS +10000 yanks right there at 2.5 and the drays are getting a lot of respect at 3-1

hes been awful,nothing short of awful at the plate since may

ARLINGTON, Texas - Joba Chamberlain assumes he will enter the Carl Pavano Memorial MRI tube today at New York Presbyterian Hospital. i hate george king but this is funny

rasner is out with a blood blister and the post reports they are bringing up kennedy or some other stud who theyve been saving for just this occasion.. ""According to Girardi, Chamberlain will miss Saturday's start against the Angels in Anaheim, Calif. With Dan Giese replacing Darrell Rasner for Friday night's start and Rasner suffering from a blood blister on the right index finger, the Yankees will need to get creative to find Chamberlain's replacement. That could mean promoting Alfredo Aceves or Ian Kennedy from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre."" alfredo aceves or ian kennedy? i thought they were working out victor zambrano and i hear that dave burba is interested in moving to the bronx

ya just like oakland used to do with scott hatteberg

id like to see cher and brett favre in a duet during the superbowl this year. maybe favre can do michael boltons version of ""when a man loves a woman"" as a solo and then back it up with a swinging duet with cher

nl west is a pitchers paradise those spacious ball parks and soft lineups do wonders for your personal stats.

didnt he carry a .400 obp into the game? they need a spark,ellsebury was that spark last year but this year hes flat and hes pressing.

see espn rip him by comparing his comeback to chers? they ran each time he retired and the press conferences that followed. this guy has cried more than any other man ive ever seen who didnt play the piano.

i see ortiz has a problem with his wrist,he heard a clicking noise. hmmmn clicking noises,kind of like a clock kind of clicking david? you cant measure mannys worth by mannys #s alone theres a lot of other things that need to be counted when discussing manny and him not being here. in any case manny isnt responsible for ellsbury hitting like s*** or veritek becoming a xen buddhist.

he didnt leave in good terms and the front office also did a hatchet job on him leaking the booze,the broads and their concerns to the media

he reminded me of a roger clemens/ rodney dangerfield combo... ohhh my arm.... good to see him gut it out im sure i saw him giggling after the homerun young hit..

ya mussina is real scary phil hughes hasnt won yet petittw is a 3 and wangs out while chamberlain reached for his shoulder about 5 seconds after young took him opposite field deep ala raja clemens y'all dump farnswoth and the savior,marte has gotten lit up his last 2 games lookin good,real good i hope joba is ok

the sun shines brighter on mj when the sox and yanks have identical weeks the fact that the yanks lost 1.5 games on the sox since manny left doesnt enter the discussion. the yanks are playing well and marte should help them however their pitching will still be their downfall and they did nothing to improve it unless you consider trading their set up guy for a catcher with 5hrs as an improvement. i dont know why they did that unless they felt that farnsworth was about to break down.

d lowe,the guy who wasnt offered a nickel here after he dominated the post season in 2004,is a free agent this year...3.65 era in the nl west doesnt really impress me as much as his consistancy does,that was his major detractor in boston,nobody knew what he was going to bring when he showed up. heres his #s 2005 32 LAD NL 12 15 35 35 2 2 0 0 222.0 223 113 89 28 55 146 5 3 934 1 2 3.61 4.10 114 1.252 2006 33 LAD NL 16 8 35 34 1 0 1 0 218.0 221 97 88 14 55 123 5 3 913 2 2 3.63 4.49 124 1.266 2007 34 LAD NL 12 14 33 32 3 0 0 0 199.3 194 100 86 20 59 147 1 3 831 2 1 3.88 4.57 118 1.269 2008 35 LAD NL 8 9 23 23 0 0 0 0 143.7 137 67 59 11 34 105 0 0 586 4 0 3.70 4.41 119 1 hes giving them 35 starts a season with 210ip per year his win loss #s eat cock but he's giving them quality starts essentially every time he touches the ball.

boras would get 0 if manny was reupped here,boras is an ass hat and even arod,the 1 man who has a bigger opinion of himself than manny does,fired his ass. manny gets to see the doug davis type starters and the brandon lyon type closers for 3 months. he may indeed shatter the national league west down the stretch single handedly and then create a 9 figure deal for himself in the process. i know mike lupica is furiously abusing himself thinking of all the headlines he can generate from the couch with this guy in pinstripes or playing over in flushing meadows..

mike lupica,consumate douchebag,the little man with the scowl and whiny temperment says this today The Yankees are happy because Manny goes to play for their old manager now. Maybe it makes it easier for them to beat the Red Sox the rest of the way. Yankee addition by Red Sox subtraction. The Yankees still needed another starting pitcher and didn't get one. But then they've needed one since they passed on Johan Santana. Manny? He gets out of Boston, which he wanted. Gets one more big stage. Next year he'll probably be DH-ing at an even bigger one: The new Yankee Stadium. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/2008/07/31/2008-07-31_sizable_day_for_joe_torre_dodgers_but_bi-2.html?page=1

as it stands they have a captive audience that understands that if they dont buy their tix by 2/1 then theyre going to have to buy them at 5xs face value...throw 15,000 more seats into the fray and the captive audience has a little wiggle room that they dont have now. boston is a small city but there are 5M people inside the 495 perimeter nyc has 30M people in the same vicinity if you include north jersey and southern ct and i would say the yanx have just as solid fan base as we do yet its easier for us to get tix in the bronx than in the fens. a new stadium would take the most expensive seats in the game and make them even more expensive. i gave up my pats season tix due to the unmitigated sodomy Bob""im moving to Hartford""Kraft performed on me when he opened the new stadium... 14 years i had seaon tix for the patriots,when kraft bought the team my seats were 15.00 a pop,when i gave them up after they moved me from the 7th row in the endzone to a place i needed f***ing nasa engineers to find they were 90.00 a pop,today theyre 160.00....service charges,handling fees,10% of the games are exhibitions,playoff money has be paid in full for all possible games and then if they get eliminated they take your money and apply it to next seasons tix... i have bc seasons now 500.00 for 2 seats,7 games. bc's venue has a lot to be desired,their product isnt the best in the business,they dont sell booze either but i dont care,i dont like getting screwed..any Pats season tix holders on board?? call foxboro and ask them what the 11.95 per tix ""handling fee"" is and how can they justify it....i never got an answer,they never saw another dime from me...plus foxboro is difficult to enjoy in december when the snow is up to the ass of a 10 foot indian and the thermometer has no reading and add all this misery to the way they dole out their superbowl tix to everyone and their mothers EXCEPT THE FANS and i am wondering how some season ticket holders havent strangled bob and little jon jon kraft with piano wire.. theyre in fenway for our lifetimes or as long as these guys own the team
