Indians suck

Sorry about that.

 

[Bob Slydell]

Sorry about that.

Don't worry about -- fortunately, the Tigers have sucked almost as much as them and have kept them in the Central. Funny, it looked a month or so ago to be a lock that the Wildcard would also come from the Central. So much for that right now.

The Mets have been lucky that the Braves went thru some hard times too. But the Braves got better at the trading deadline & that's why I'm not comfortable.

Yeah, and the Twins' 11 runs last night is more than they have scored total in the last week. I wouldn't mind losing games if the offense would at least show up!

Fortunately for us, the Indians' and Tigers' struggles have kept us with at least a glimmer of hope, but with the way the Twins are playing... *sigh*

Went to the Marlins game last night and they had an explosion of offense. Dontrelle finally got another win and got himself out of alot of difficult situations.

 

[KrnB]

Wahoo - a 2 game winning streak for the Twinkies!

 

[OK!]

Ankiel just missed hitting another one tonight...if he hadn't drilled it to the absolute deepest part of the park, it'd have been gone. But I don't think anybody's too upset about that 'cause the MV3 all went deep, something they (Edmonds, Rolen, Pujols) haven't done since April against the Cubs. Cards win 8-3 over the Brewers and are now 3.5 back.

 

[Missy1961]

Mets score 5 in the first & ninth, hold on to win, 10-8. Braves win as well, Phils lose, so Braves are back in 2nd place.

Go O's. Took 2 of 3 from uhh??? (what's that team?)

 

[Bob Slydell]

Indians are back in a tie for first place.

If only they could just get Carmona and Sabathia to pitch every other day.

Umm... that red team and the other un-namable!! Now if we could have only played this well in the first half of the season.

I'm not complaining mind you... I'm thrilled to see the O's come together as a team!

 

[Missy1961]

Mets had a good road trip, 5-1. Lead is now up to 5 games. But they now have a hard home stand--Padres (facing Peavy) & the Dodgers, then they go on the road to face the Phillies & Atlanta. Losing Easley makes the bench weaker. And boy that was hard to watch.

 

[Bob Slydell]

Nothing like a trip to Tampa Bay to curse an offense problem. Indians back up 1 1/2 games.

and one of the teams we are not talking about did help.

Interesting replacement for Easley. Can Jeff play middle infield? The pool for available players is obviously pretty shallow right now.

Holy cow, the Brewers had a 6-0 lead over the D-backs last night and what do you know, they actually hung on and won the game 9-0. It's a miracle!!!

 

[Missy1961]

Mets blow a 4-1 lead, tie the game at 5 in the bottom of the 8th, Billy Wagner blows the save, but the Mets score 2 in the bottom of the 9th to win!
