Great, another Sosa strikeout. Seriously Dusty, move him down...

It really baffles my mind. Dusty's afraid to "lose" Sosa?

What would happen then? He'd bat .250 and strike out 50% of his at bats? oh, wait...

 

[Eminem]

Indians won again, 6-2. Seems like they might be peeking a year earlier then expected.

Yup. I'm pulling for 'em. Besides the ridiculous turn the hat sideways thing they have going on, I have no problem with Cleveland.

Fuck Torii Hunter and the Twins though. I'd love to see Cleveland get past 'em.

 

[Meier]

Dreifort managed to get through the 8th with only walking a guy -- woo! Dodgers have the bases juiced with Mr. Grand Slam Robin Ventura coming up..

Woo! No grand slam for him but the Dodgers have scored 4 runs so far and now have men at first and second.. no outs still.

 

[rc213]

AHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAH WTF! Those were some rookie type mistakes to be making in the 9th inning of a 1 run game.

 

[Poody]

hahaha stupid Sosa and Alou they do not know how to take a strike. I'm surprised sosa even got a walk...

 

[Desperado]

wow. go dodgers!

 

[Poody]

awesome if we can bat around twice this inning...

GO DODGERS!!!

 

[rc213]

Perez getting the run support... A couple innings after he goes out. =)

 

[Meier]

Bah, striking out with a man on third is the worst.

 

[Joe]

the yanks are probably gonna file a complaint with MLB about the worst umpire in the big leagues, angel hernandez.

According to several people on the field Wednesday night, Hernandez shouted, "Bleep you, you bleeping bleep" at Jeter, whom Hernandez called out on a close play at first in the top of the ninth.

The Yankees have an avenue to file a complaint, and considering George Steinbrenner sends volumes of tape on calls blown by umpires to MLB offices, it's safe to say the club will at least contact Sandy Alderson.

george owns.

 

[Meier]

Yhency Brazoban is going to be a star in this league. Dodgers got a real steal in him.

 

[Joe]

GODZILLA

 

[Meier]

Gojira is more appropriate.

 

[Eminem]

uh oh...we're only 4 games back, we have 6 games left with the twins, and 50% of the games we have left are against KC and Detroit....do you believe in unlikelihood?

 

[Lathentar]

Could the Astros get any worse?

Coming back in the 8th and 9th innings to tie it. Going ahead in the 12th by a run... but not driving in an insurance run which was on third with 1 out. Then blowing the game in the bottom of the 12th all with 2 outs.

 

[Rodriguez]

The Yankees are just laying a whoopin' on the Mariners. After Sierra's grand slam, it is now 10-0 NYY in the bottom of the 4th.

 

[Miguel]

Fuck it. Texans season starts tommorow. Astros are dead. Actually, Astros have one more sign of life. His name? Carlos Hernandez. His mission, should he choose to accept it? To come out every 5th day and give Astro fans something to cheer for. I want to see some of his filthy stuff he's been baffling AAAers with these past 2 months.

 

[Mrbob]

Ah yes.

Cubs have reverted back to the dumbest team in baseball.

 

[Desperado]

Oh. My. God. Kent, Beltran, and Ensberg with clutch homers...we get Qualls, Bullinger, Gallo, Miceli, and Lidge to pitch 5 scoreless innings...Harville gets 2 outs in the bottom of the 12th and then GIVES UP A HOMER TO ALEX GONZALEZ?!?! and then walks the next 2 batters and gives up a base hit to lose it...

*cries*

 

[Baconäger]

I love it when Wood hits a HR.

 

[Incognito]

lol astros suck. what a waste of a year.

 

[Desperado]

lol astros suck. what a waste of a year.

Ain't that the truth.

GO CARLOS

 

[Mrbob]

Yes. Back on the winning track. Need to keep it going.

 

[rc213]

Good game by the Cubbies today, Wood shut us down. Although that called strike on Beltre with the bases loaded was B.S. Ishi >=-\ what the hell, great game but why does he have to be so inconsistent. AAAARRRRGGGHHHH!

 

[Joe]

what the hell has happened to the mariners.

 

[Desperado]

What the hell. That's like 4 homerun calls the officials have fucked up so far in last night's and tonight's game. ugh.

 

[J2 Cool]

Oh. My. God. Kent, Beltran, and Ensberg with clutch homers...we get Qualls, Bullinger, Gallo, Miceli, and Lidge to pitch 5 scoreless innings...Harville gets 2 outs in the bottom of the 12th and then GIVES UP A HOMER TO ALEX GONZALEZ?!?! and then walks the next 2 batters and gives up a base hit to lose it...

*cries*

Haha, go Alex Gonzales! He really is a very clutch player and was a damn good defensive player. Nice to hear he's doing good

 

[Desperado]

HAHAHAHA LOSING 8-3 TO THE X-POZ HAHAHAAHH





























































why...why?!??!

 

[Mrbob]

Expos are hot right now and playing spoiler to everyone. We got them six times in September. I'm starting to worry a bit heh.

Looik at the damn Tribe though! Only one game out of first! They are rolling! They might end up winning the AL Central!

And the stros are 56-60 now? Damn. I didn't know they were doing so bad. EL OH EL.

 

[BarneyBP]

I'm not usually one to follow really obscure statistics, but I have to point out that the Indians are 23-3 at Jacob's Field on the weekend and.... 7-0 on Sundays. Look out Twins.

 

[Joe]

the more al wildcard hopefuls the better.

 

[Cubsfan23]

Prior is back

Nomar is good

Sosa still sucks

 

[Desperado]

Damn we won. =(

 

[Cubsfan23]

FARNSWORTH BLOWS

 

[Baconäger]

Fucking Farns!

 

[Mrbob]

HEY HEY, WHADDYA SAY, FARNSWORTH GONNA BLOW ASS TODAY

Send him to the minors. Trade him. Get rid of him. Farnsworth sucks.

Rusch gives up a single. Dodgers up 6-5. Our bullpen blows. Now a double! 8-5 dodgers. Fucking A.

 

[Joe]

thank you white sox! takatsu made it WAY TOO interesting but he got it done.

 

[Poody]

Great game Dodgers! Bring on the fish!

 

[Baconäger]

Dodgers are lucky shitty Farnsworth picthed.

I always like hearing Stone after (and during) the game. That man is a God.

 

[rc213]

Beltre now holds the record for most home-runs by a Dodger third baseman (33). Previously held by Pedro Guerrero hit 32 in 1983.

 

[Fifty]

It's time for my latest "I'm a Blue Jays fan....kill me now" post!!



Top 8th: Baltimore
-J. Lopez doubled to shallow left, B.J. Surhoff and K. Garcia scored, L. Bigbie to third
-B. Roberts singled to center, L. Bigbie and J. Lopez scored
-D. Newhan doubled to left, B. Roberts scored
-M. Tejada singled to center, D. Newhan scored
-B.J. Surhoff singled to center, M. Tejada scored, R. Palmeiro to third
-K. Garcia hit sacrifice fly to center, R. Palmeiro scored

The eight runs in the inning were a season-high for the Orioles, and the most runs Toronto has allowed in an inning this season.

Today was the IAMS DOG DAY OF SUMMER, further proof that only non-humans can enjoy this team

The TORONTO BLUE JAYS will once again play host to hundreds of dogs at SkyDome, with this Sunday's IAMS DOG DAY OF SUMMER (August 15, 1:05 pm).

The event, which allows owners to bring their dogs with them to the ballpark, was first introduced in the 2003 season to a popular response. Over 250 dogs and their owners were seated in a reserved section of outfield seats, monitored by specially trained volunteers.

Rob Godfrey, the Club's Senior Vice President of Communications & External Relations, says, "A number of fans from last year's inaugural event urged us to make this an annual fixture in our promotional calendar. We're especially pleased to build on the success of this family-friendly event with the help of a great partner in Iams."


Who goes to Blue Jays games? Let's look at some of the Fans of the Game

 

[Eminem]

thank you white sox! takatsu made it WAY TOO interesting but he got it done.

yeah, that was a koch style save.

 

[Meier]

Here's how confident the Dodgers were when they got into the Chicago Cubs' bullpen Sunday.

Still trailing by two runs with one out in the eighth, they started to warm up closer Eric Gagne.

They knew what they were doing. They turned what was once a three-run deficit into an 8-5 victory with another persistent comeback, and Gagne demonstrated what relief is all about with two perfect innings and his 35th save.

Lmao

 

[Eminem]

so yeah, laugh it up. it'll be that much sweeter when the cubs pull their annual choke job.

It begins.

nytimes.com has a chapter from the book "The Last Night of the Yankee Dynasty" a new book on the yankees.

here are some nuggets:

An excruciating noise often jarred Mary Cashman out of her sleep; she once described it to a friend as sounding as if her husband was "chewing on marbles." Brian Cashman's teeth-grinding intensified whenever the Yankees were going through a difficult stretch or playing in the postseason.

Steinbrenner knew precisely which emotional button to push with each employee. Cashman, for example, argued against trading Alfonso Soriano to Anaheim for center fielder Jim Edmonds in the spring of 2000, and after Edmonds was dealt to St. Louis and opened the season strongly for the Cardinals, Steinbrenner forced Cashman to chronicle Edmonds's performance with daily faxed reports.

 

[Mrbob]

FINALLY there is light at the end of the tunnel. The next 42 games we play are against teams with records at or below .500! Our run starts here!

 

[Scoobert]

Marlins TV did a whole Q&A with LoDuca.

Favorite gadget? Ipod.

He sounded like a spokesperson for it too, lol.

 

[Poody]

Did anyone catch a glimpse at Lo Duca's wife "sonny" ? Damn shes bangin'

 

[Flizzzipper]

Damn, the Reds have really hit the shitter.

 

[rc213]

Tommorrow I better fuckin see a Newswire that Dreifort has been sent to fuckin Triple A in Iraq or something. Fucking ass sucks to high heaven!!!



DODGERS OWNED BY DREIFORT!
