The Baseball Thread

Them dang Colorado Rockies are on another late season run...

yup (but they cooled off a bit today against the dodgers)...

and the pale sox have come back with 4 in the 9th to tie the game against some terrible tiger relief pitching. (one was rjb's guy, but he had him on the bench)

ozzie still thinks they can make the twinkies sweat...

ozzie would think that.
up heeyuh, the towel was thrown in weeks ago...

Yeah, that **** is over.

hey koolaid...

umm, reeg, I wasn't gonna bring this up, but. since you bagged on poor mr lidge...

mr lidge is soccer george's best closer right now.

his number 2 is pap...

whazzup with that guy?

(not that i'm complainin', mind ya...)

pap needs a change of scenery.
they threw him in last night to shake off some rust.
he looked like he'd rather be fishing.
there have been murmurs about making bard the closer next year...

pitching has been a major disappointment.
wouldn't shock me to see farrell take a new gig somewhere (cleveland?)...

So I'm watching the Giants at the Cubbies (got a pitcher throwing. not the one that imploded) and The Giants are batting around in the second, which I 've seen before.

but Jose Guillen, on his fourth or fifth team this season, started it off by getting hit by a pitch.

and 8 guys later, he's back up, and...

gets hit again.

what are the odds...?

then Uribe hit his second home run of the inning...

quite the game unless yer a cubs fan.

ok. Now it's like a joke inning.

my pitcher has two hits...

I hope I don't know anyone at the game. joefromyouknowwhere.

Sabathia and Price dueling it out. Preview of Cy Young?

No duel. It's obvious who is the better pitcher.

Yeah, you and reeg called it. Imagine, he walked in a run.

it's down-right painful watching from up heeyuh as they duke it out this year...

from yahoo...

RHP Roy Halladay is not just the unofficial current leader for the National League Cy Young Award. He should also garner some MVP votes. In his first season with the Phillies, Halladay has played a big role in the team's attempt to win its fourth straight NL East crown. In 14 starts against divisional foes, Halladay is 13-1 with a 1.74 ERA. He's only defeat came in 2-0 loss to Josh Johnson and the Marlins on June 10. In addition to having a perfect game on his resume, Halladay leads the National League in wins (20), strikeouts (213), complete games (eight), shutouts (four), innings (241 2/3) and ranks third in ERA (2.53).

remind me again about why the Blue Jays had to unload Halladay?

i$n't it obviou$?

Oh Yeah! He didn't like being paid in worthless Canuck dollars

so I'm watching the Dodgers tonight, hunting a save, and up pops one of those names that you just gotta go check an make sure it's real.

yup.

C. Hu...

no, not on first. he's the new shortstop.

we can only hope that he's a utility-infielder in-the-making...
