MLB Chatter 2008

I am loving Sidney Ponson right now.

I am loving Sidney Ponson right now.

Speaking of fat pitchers....

Bartolo Colon did surprisingly well for the Sox tonight. Hopefully he can give the rotation a boost.

So, how do the Braves look on ESPN? It's blacked out here. I'm having to watch it on SportSouth.

I wish it was blacked out by me.

If the Mets continue to sputter around .500 and are 7 or 8 games out by July 4 I can totally see Randolph getting axed.

Today Santana faces Tim Hudson to finish this series at Atlanta. Johan will go 8 innings, give up 1 run and 1 hit with 15 strikeouts and Hudson will pitch a perfect game.

Fire Willie and Omar.

 

[Chaos Descending]

Tragically Brandon Webb's winning streak came to an end tonight. That aside, he pitched a solid game.

Yeah, it's tough for the pitcher when your team forgets en masse exactly to make the ball fly off the bat.

Here's me getting back to reality.

^ Don't even go there, you know that's what will happen.

It'll be one curveball that hung too long in the 5th inning to Chipper Jones that will end up in the seats. In the 6th, the Mets will end up with running first and second with nobody out. In the 7th, they'll load 'em up with one man out. A couple weak fly balls and a double play ball will bring their number of men left in scoring position to 12 for the day.

By the 8th that vein in my forehead will be pulsing again.

 

[Starbreaker]

I can't wait to see Huddy pitch tonight (if I get back from Indiana Jones in time).

 

[Starbreaker]

Ahh... Johan Santana gets whupped again.

 

[JonathonWally]

Finally a good Yanks game tonight. I don't know which part I liked more, Cano knocking in the winning run in the bottom of the ninth, or Girardi channeling Billy Martin and getting tosses out.

Gotta recommend catching sportscenter for anyone who didn't see it.

Yeah - just saw the game. Oh teh drama! That's 2 whole wins in a row now.

Cano's been struggling so was doubly glad to see him get the walk off ribbie.

TWO Grand Slams in a game by the Red Sox yesterday

 

[SmoothieX]

Damn, I might need to revise my Randolph firing estimate from July 4 to June 4.

6/4. F that. I want him gone before the Mets come back to Shea.

 

[SmoothieX]

There are rumors to that effect. Reportedly, the top brass wants a meeting with him when the team comes back from the road.

 

[Starbreaker]

I think Jo Jo is going back to AAA... oh boy.

Omar called a press confrence during todays game and gave Willie the dreaded vote of confidence. Any day now and Willie can go back to the Yankees.

In other news, Gary Carter made it known that he is extremely interested in the managing job, but I`d rather they make Jerry Manuel the interm and evualate him at the end of the year.

 

[Starbreaker]

Ahh... it's nice to have that game 2 against the D-backs!

 

[Pegaritaville]

Boy did my Twins get slaughtered last night. Hard to win a game when you give up 19 runs.

 

[The Lady Eve]

Ah, the baseball gods in their heaven and all's right with the world. The Yankees have won 5 games in a row and swept Seattle on a beautiful day in NYC.

 

[Timby]

So Jon Lester's dad has cancer--I mean Jon Lester's Disease.

Can't wait for ESPN to run with this.
