Major League Baseball 2009

[Starbreaker]

I'm officially abandoning the Braves today. Good thing the NFL is about to start.

The Sox win again with a walkoff homer from David Ortiz...man I haven't been able to say that for a while. Tim Wakefield pitched 7 strong innings in his first start of the DL.

Look out AL...it's all coming together all of a sudden...

Weclome back, Joe Saunders.



The Angels have a nice 4 game home series against the A's starting today. Hopefully we can put some distance between us and the Rangers.

I was surprised to see they are 2.5 up in the WC race.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

^ Make that 1.5.

And also make that *two* pitchers named Nick Green...

 

[SmoothieX]

woohoo!!

 

[1001001]

Damn!

My girlfriend surprised me for my birthday by taking my to a Braves game last night. Field level seats... and I was so pissed off at the Braves yesterday, but this game was so much fun. They beat the Padres 9-1. Even though I had honestly given up on them yesterday, ALL the teams ahead of them lost, so they might actually be back in the mix. Here we go again. They're like a bad train wreck. I can't stop watching.
My hot dog carrier broke while I was there and I spilled mustard and ketchup all down the front of my baby blue shirt. It was bad. I had to wear the girlfriend's super small Alabama jacket. I would have rather looked like an idiot than a klutz.

I thought they had the scoreboard wrong when they said Nick Green pitched for the Red Sox. WTF.

 

[Chaos Descending]

Gee, I guess Mark Reynolds and Justin Upton ARE the future core of the D-Backs! The day they both come back to the lineup, they smoke the Giants 11-0!

 

[Starbreaker]

Hats off to Upton and Reynolds.

 

[Tom Servo]

Haha, that loss was worth it, just to see Nick Green pitch...

 

[Kira's Mom]

Uh, Cubs? How did you lose two games to the Nationals?

(I do love to see the Nats win, but poor Cubbies!)

 

[Tom Servo]

^ Make that 1.5.

You were saying?

Ah, back to 2.5 over Texas, and more importantly, to me at least, 4.5 over the Rays, who, somewhat strangely, traded Kazmir to the Angels today. While I get it as a cost cutting measure, it seems strange to do it in the middle of a playoff race.

 

[Commander Vaughn]

The Tigers managed to beat the Rays today, and Kazmir gets traded right after the game is over. Hopefully that makes the rest of the series against Tampa a little bit easier. The Twins won and moved into second place in the division. I'm still more than a little worried about the Twins making a move for the AL Central crown...

 

[SmoothieX]

Haha, that loss was worth it, just to see Nick Green pitch...

Every Red Sox loss is worth it!

The Tigers managed to beat the Rays today, and Kazmir gets traded right after the game is over.

As a Mets fan, that Kazmir-Zambrano nightmare trade of a few years ago is finally a little less soul crushing.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Nice walk-off homer in the 10th inning last night, Robinson Cano!

 

[SmoothieX]

^Good stuff.

I was busy watching a Pats preseason game. I'm in a baseball funk since my team is woefully out of it.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

After a 10-0 shutout in the Bronx, I ain't in no funk!

 

[Starbreaker]

Cliff Lee met the Braves today!

3.5 out of the Wild Card

Tim Hudson makes his first start in practically forever on Monday.

Barry Zito rocked it out tonight. What a performance and that is just really nice to see. With all the bashing this guy gets, and the backlash because he signed a bad contract (Not his fault by the way), it's great to see him do so well. Tonight was the best performance he had as a Giant.
