Man, Pujols has over 33% of St. Louis' rbi's. If he was hurt the Cards would be sub .500 - slightly over .500 team. That's scary.

Instead now the Astros are!
 
Good thing I've been drinking, or else I would be pissed off at Clement's worthlessness. What a pussy. At least Halladay is on one of my fantasy squads.

I used to go to games at Atlanta Fulton County Stadium when we were so bad we were lucky to draw 5,000 a game. So I don't want to hear about any "fair weather" horseshit. I'm justifiably upset that my team isn't as good as it has been, but I'm ALWAYS behind them. I've been to about 9 games this year.

You were ready to give up on them after that last Mets series, and go root for the Sox. That's where the fair weather stuff came from. I guess you weren't being completely serious.
 
:D :D Riske business. Nice to see Shea continue to beat the Bo Sox, and we're still undefeated in games against the Red Sox in which Josh Towers hasn't pitched.

Question 1?
Why the fuck do you pull Oswalt after he's cruising through 6 innings on 90 pitches?

Question 2?
IF you need to replace him, WHY DO IT WITH MOTHERFUCKING TREVER MILLER?!

Question 3?
If you put Qualls in at the beginning of the inning, he wouldn't HAVE 2 guys on base for Pujols to kill you. WHY DIDN'T YOU PUT HIM IN INSTEAD OF TREVER JOURNEYMAN MILLER?!

Question 4?
If you're down 2-0 to Pujols, just fucking WALK him....WHY DIDN'T YOU!?

A1: Roy tweaked his hammy..

That is, Oswalt didn't throw it in the middle of the plate. Unfortunately for the right-hander, he was forced to leave after six masterful innings and 91 pitches, because of a hamstring strain he suffered earlier in the game.

"That's the only way he's coming out," Garner said.

Oswalt felt the tweak in the third inning when he was batting.

"I swung and tried to come out of the box too quick," he said. "That's when I felt it. It didn't pull, it just tightened up real bad."

It grew progressively worse over the next few innings, but Oswalt, having watched the bullpen put in overtime during the weekend series in Pittsburgh, was hoping to stay in for six or seven frames.

But he was slated to lead off the seventh, and Garner opted to turn to pinch-hitter Orlando Palmeiro.

"Going into the seventh inning, my at-bat, I had 90 pitches," Oswalt said. "I might have been able to push it another inning but it was better to come out now than miss three or four starts."

Mets 9th:

Chavez doubles down the left-field line.
Reyes single drives him in. Game tied.
LoDuca gets a single and Reyes advances to third.
They walk Beltran.
Delgado strikes out.
Wright hits first pitch to deep center, bounces on the warning track, would have been no chance to catch Reyes of course. Game over, 8-7 Mets. That's the happy recap.

Mets home record in first game of series: 13-0
Mets comeback wins: 13.
Formula for winning division: PRICELESS.

When you're a Met fan, you don't quit and anything is possible.
For Yankee fans . . . hey Bird Bird on crack got a win today!!!

Three of the Jays' six wins against the Sawx have come in games started by Clement and Wells.

All of the Sox wins over the Jays come in games Towers started, his ass is in Triple A getting blown out there.

Of course I don't feel to good about todays game with Chacin and Beckett starting but atleast Lilly goes tommorrow.
 
I personally guarantee a Chacin win.

We need to do a Sox/Jays fans avatar bet one of these days. I bet Dr. Strangelove would look just darling wearing vintage Chacin.

I'm looking forward to tonight's pitching duel on ESPN:

CWS: M. Buehrle (6-2, 2.62)
CLE: C.C. Sabathia (4-1, 1.52)
 
Sucks to see Nady go down like that,emergency surgery is never pleasant. I mean he's really a great player that finally found a starting job with a team,now this happens to him.:(

Should be good to see Milledge now though. I wonder if he stays around if he gets off to a hot start. I'd rather have him down in the minros perfecting his stuff while Nady is our rightfielder this year,better for both guys. I guess I'm torn between both,Nady has realy grown on me and I'd like to see him settle in with the Mets. Plus Floyd will probably be gone after this season,so Milledge would be a better fit next year.
 
"Xavier Nady had an emergency appendectomy procedure done late last night and is expected to be out 3-4 weeks. The Mets have called up prospect Lastings Milledge to replace him in the lineup. Whether he'll start tonight is unknown. Norfolk manager (forgot name) will be on WFAN later to give his thoughts."

To listen over internet goto wfan's website.

I feel bad for Nady, but Lastings... good luck, man. Also it seems that Victor Diaz's push is over.

Hell yeah, damn sure I'll be watching that tonight.

Angelus: Change your avatar or die. We have rules for a reason.
 
This Ted Lilly domination can't keep going the way it is.

Kazmir had our number until we beat him on Friday, and we've gotten Rodrigo Lopez a few times this year (never happened before)...

I wouldn't be surprised if we get to Lilly on Wednesday.

In other news, I got to watch the game on Sportsnet HD...and my GOD is baseball hot in HD. I'd seen football before, and the last time the Sox played the Jays (I'm in Canada) I watched it on SNETHD, but it was like...a terrible feed. So I was shocked to see it was so fucking beautiful yesterday.

Can't wait for tonight...seeing Beckett in glorious 60" HD on my SXRD.
 
Steve Philips predicted earlier today that Clemens will be a member of the Red Sox by the end of the week or early next week...

...Well Yankees/Astros fans, get ready for the return of Roger to your team.

Official Report: Clemens has signed with the Astros for the rest of season. Deal pays him $10 million.

I can't wait until July 21-23.
What an Ass-tro.
 
2 days ago I swung a trade for Clemens, giving up JJ Putz and Prince Fielder (would have had to drop fielder anyway when Gagne comes off the DL).



:D :D



EDIT: any chance of the Astros giving him any run support this year?
 
Yahoo and ESPN haven't featured news of the signing on their sites yet..I'm sure glad he didn't (if it's true) go to NYC or Boston! I hope he starts playing soon.
 
Heh my brother was terrified he was going to go to the Red Sox or - even worse - the Yankees. I never for a second thought he would, he was resigning with the Astros all the way. The Yanks/bosox might be able to throw more money his way, but can they make it so baseball is pretty much a part-time gig? :lol

It would almost have been worth it for Clemens to sign with an AL East team - he has so much history with 3 of the clubs and their fans that it would have been nuts! Every start he made against one of the other 2 would be bedlam, until Bill Simmons snapped and took him down with a sniper rifle before his 06 Fenway debut in pinstripes. ;)
 
Thank God, I was scared that he would sign with either Boston or New York. The last thing I need to see is Boston or New York's rotation being bolstered.

In other news if all goes right AJ Burnett will be back on Jun 21st against Atlanta.
 
I know Clemens gets some sweet perks with Houston, but it's really nice to see a player not making decisions purely based on money. Seems like that's all most players care about anymore.
 
GM, agent deny report Clemens has picked Astros

Houston Astros general manager Tim Purpura denied a report on Tuesday that Roger Clemens had picked a team for 2006, saying the situation was "status quo."

Clemens' agent, Randy Hendricks, also denied the report.

Newsday reported on its Web site that Clemens had decided to re-sign with the Astros and an announcement would be made as soon as today.

Purpura denied the report, telling ESPN.com's Jayson Stark, "It's status quo, except for all the media attention we've had."

"We've had no conduct with Roger's people today," said Purpura, adding that the last time he talked to Hendricks was Sunday.

Purpura said he was told then that "Roger was still in the mode of trying to decide what he wants to do." So essentially, Purpura said, "We're just awaiting his decision."

Hendricks told ESPN.com that he hasn't spoken to the Astros on Tuesday.

"Contrary to Newsday, there is no agreement with the Astros," Hendricks said.

Man, I can't even imagine how well off the blue jays would have been without Towers for much of the season, they'd be in first by a solid few games.

They're holding their own with all the injuries, poor pitching, and tough schedule.
