And the Mets get swept in a doubleheader by a team that couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat. heh.

8-8 now... Back to normal... Ok so 8-21 would be normal for the Mets these days. Ho hum...

Good god the AL is just one landmine offense after another. Boston's offense is waking up. I assume their starting pitching will be OK as long as they stay healthy. They just need some bullpen arms. Cherrington needs to hope they can stick around until the AS break, and try to work some magic from that point imo.

Did anyone catch the debacle that was the Mets game last night? The 5th inning was epic! 11 Runs total, two 3 run dingers, 4 errors in one inning on a night when as a team they commited 6 errors! lmao.

Yup, The Mets are in mid season form.

"Since ending an 0-for-21 skid on Thursday, Albert Pujols is just 2-for-12 with a pair of singles. Meanwhile, his season-beginning homer-less streak is now at 22 games, putting the Angels' $250 million man in danger of the first bomb-free month of his 12-year career (not counting March and October, of course)."

the pitching staff is awful, warthen has ro be one of the worst pitching coaches around, pelf has finally played his last game in a mets uni, i'm real sorry he got hurt but i'm not sad to see him go, the pen will have dead arms by july cause of the staff management, oh you've thrown 100 pitches in 7 innings and given up 1 run better take him out, i'm excited to see some of the younger guys play, can't wait for top prospect call ups, they're hanging on right now i don't see it lasting as the arms get dead. maybe 1 more season for collins then hopefully wally bacmon, that would be nice, bay's big salary will gone after next season that'll help out too, i think he is the last of the minaya mistakes.

Fuck, as soon as I saw Mariano grab the outside of his knee I knew he tore his ACL. Outside of knee=ACL, inside=MCL. I hope the time off let's him realize he still wants to play. I know he wants to build churches n shit, but cmon man. He seems like the type that will live into his 90s too.

More Like 500 thousand. David robertson has been better than mo in the past two seasons. The kid is sick if you haven't seen him.

Yeah I've seen him. The Yanks also have Rafael Soriano in case Robertson falters but these are the Yankees. They almost demand known, proven players. If Robertson/Soriano/Whoever blow 2 saves in a weeks time there will be chaos and panic in NYC and then they'll make a move.

Either way my remark was just a passing dig at the Skankess. :-D

This ain't my fathers yankees. I think their financial advantage has come to an end, or at least other teams are getting even. Tons of teams are getting massive TV deals, and the new luxury tax is too devastating to go over. Something like 40% of every dollar is going to the luxury tax over the 189 million mark.

Later Kerry Wood! You won't be missed. Your could have had an amazing career.

I still rememebr his debut in 1998. Remember that 20 strikeout game? He followed that shit up with a 13 SO game. Thats 33 SO's in 2 starts over 16 innings if I remember correctly. Ah, What couldve been.

I only play fantasy football... and I'm pretty hardcore into that. For you gamers out there, we call our league: Final Fantasy Football. Here's a logo I made for our league last year:



Fantasy baseball just requires too much of a commitment from me. Truthfully though, I have the free time to do it, but not the motivation.

Also, I'm a Twins fan. A Twins and Packers fan actually. Growing up in South Dakota, and having one parent from Minnesota, and one from Wisconsin, I came to love both of these teams. My Wisconsin friends hate on me because I like the Twins, and my Minnesota friends hate on me cause I love the Packers. I'm more of an NFL fan than an MLB fan, but I follow both closely.

can someone please explain to me why some of the stadiums are so empty? baltimore is in first place (however short lived this may be) and on average they fill the park to only half of its capacity. it's nowhere near as expensive in baltimore as boston, new york or chicago to go to a game, so i don't get it, and those cities show up whether their team is in first place or not. not even when they're in first place?


what am i missing? i know baseball isn't as popular as it once was, but wtf? don't they have bandwagon fans in baltimore?

I play on MLB. Fantasy pool for years now. Great pool. Only have to set your lineup for the week. I'm huge Jays fan. Loved when Lawrie hit ump with his helmet... Even better when fan hit same ump with a beer. Ump was an ass. Jays gotta few people taking notice on how to build a team as opposed to buying a team. Let's go Blue Jays!!!
