Buchholz continues to kick the crap out of teams....

I LOVE IT!

Are you enjoying the race Peg? The Twins are on a serious tear right now, sweeping Chicago in Chicago. I feel worried about the Tigers chances. Minnesota seems to want it a little bit more.

I'm loving it. The Twins have been playing great lately. I'm a little worried about their upcoming series against Kansas City: The Royals have been hot and seem to be relishing their role as spoiler. I just hope the Twins don't look past them and think only of their upcoming series against Detroit.

Joe Nathan has been kind of scary lately. He still usually gets the save, but I liked it better when bringing him in was almost a gimmie win.

The weekend series for both teams are huge. The Royals and White Sox aren't about to just roll over for anyone. We easily could be looking at a tie at the top of the division going into Monday's series in Detroit.

It's definitely an exciting time of the year. Minnesota and Detroit aren't exactly big market teams, but it's not like this season is totally devoid of drama down the stretch.

I swear, almost getting traded was the best thing to ever happen to him. It's like the possibility of the Red Sox giving up on him lit a fire under him or something.

Yay Nats! 100 losses. Sigh.

Do I even want to know what the Mets' W/L column looks like?

Well, at least they are still in the double digits in L's.

And sadly, there's not enough games left for them to finish September strong for once and hit the magic century mark.

 

[Kira's Mom]

So is your Mr. Met still sniffing glue, or has he moved on to something stronger?

Screech is officially AA material.

 

[SmoothieX]

Mr. Met will get back to you as soon as his appointment at the methadone clinic ends.

 

[Kira's Mom]

^I found Screech trying to score some crack the other day.

 

[SmoothieX]

I'm saddened to say Mr. Met got caught 'cheesing' in a bathroom bar the other night.

Now granted, Reds vs. Pirates isn't exactly a hot ticket, because the G-20 summit shut down A LOT of downtown traffic and closed businesses, only about 3000 spectators were at the game Thursday.

But when these same two teams were in Cincinnati on Aug. 31, there were only 1000 fans at the first game of a day-night double header!

Well, so far John Lester is pitching like Paul Byrd at seldom-full New Yankee Stadium.

 

[clint g]

Well looks like Lester may be done for the rest of the year after a bullet to the leg. hopefully the guy does alright

Ugh. I'm sure he'll be all right, but the question is when. Fortunately the Sox have enough depth in their rotation that all is not lost even if Lester is DL'ed for the post-season.

Now we'll see if Joba pitches anyone high and inside.

 

[Tim]

X-Rays negative on Lester. Day-to-day.

 

[Starbreaker]

Go Cardinals and Cubs!

 

[bigdaddy]

The Red Sox are fucked. I never saw them making it to the WS this year, and so far they still aren't good enough.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Way to go Joba!!!!

 

[Tim]

Way to go Joba!!!!

Shouldn't you be congratulating Melky for possibly ending Lester's season?

Now why the hell would you think I'd do that?

Look, I'm the furthest thing from a Sox fan, but I don't want *anyone* getting hurt, not even your guys. How sadistic do you think I am anyway? Would you cheer if one of our guys got hurt? No? Then try to cut ME some slack, ok?

Geez. If you think I'd cheer a Sox player getting creamed, then you really don't know me at all. I mean, I've done my share of "Boston Sucks!" in the bleachers, but nobody wants this.

 

[Tim]

^ You seemed to have missed my smiley.

 

[Starbreaker]

It's nice to have 7/10 games in the final stretch against the worst team in baseball.
