Mark Teixeira just hit for the cycle for the Rangers in the 7th inning. It is 16-1 right now. Ouch.
excuse me, weren't you just laughing at the sox since they were 5 out of the wild card? 5 out of the WC, 4 out of the division.
your team is 1.5 out of the WC, and 14.5 out of the division. yet you still praise the cubs like theyre the best team in baseball.
Again I will post it:

Shut Em Down Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilson!!! Marlins shutdown by our 34 year old part-time Reliever/Starting pitcher. Picked a great game to go see, the bases loaded jam he got himself out of in the 7th was just beautiful. Everyone got up and cheered like crazy...
That's been the Marlin way all year long. They have made some of the worst pitchers in the league look like Randy Johnson on his best night. It sucks because their offense is so much better than what they have shown.
Can't really complain though when the Marlins are World Series Champs. 2 rings in 7 years, ohh yeah!

i don't know what you're smoking. The M's wouldn't trade Ichiro for Barry Bonds. He's a freaking revenue machine.
I'm glad he went and got a second opinion. This season doesn't matter enough to risk ending his career.
Backe had lowered his AAA ERA to 2.80..I guess he just needed more innings of work to learn how to pitch well. He's only been pitching for about 2 years I think, he was drafted as a position player. I like the kid. It was awesome when he struck out the side in 9 pitches earlier this season with the Astros. Plus apparently he lives in the same city as me! lol

Smart man.
Did he forget the Cardinals, Yankees and A's don't quit mid-August?
Steinbrenner to Cashman: Purchase this "Santana" for me.
Cashman to Steinbrenner: Well, see he's under contract and not available for trade right n-
Steinbrenner: SILENCE MORTAL! THEN OVERPAY FOR HIM IN TWO YEARS WHEN HE'S NO LONGER AT THE TOP OF HIS GAME!
Cashman: Yes, Boss.

Larry Bowa is a Loser- always has been, always will be. That ring from '80? Inconsequential in the long run of things. Not only is the man a Loser, he knows that Losing is his lot in life. You can see it in his eyes, smell it coming off of him in noxious waves...
The man only knows Losing. This season was Destined to come apart like a house of cards on the hapless Phils, and not because of anything other than this central fact: Larry is a Loser.
And Bobby Cox is a winner. Ho ho ho... I will never again predict anything other than a Braves division victory while this man helms the team. He could go out with a team of parapalegics and still win a division. Just don't bet on the man in October.
Here is a great article on Ed Wade, Phillies GM and long time Bowa supporter, declining to endorse his Losing Manager:

He was a quality pitcher for the Expos last year, just seems to be struggling. But look what we've done to Mota, Carrara (struggled mightily last year in Seattle after pitching wonderfully for us for two years), Duaner Sanchez, etc. Lots of middle relievers don't fare very well elsewhere but shine in Dodger blue.

They do, actually. Howard Lincoln is basically the guy M's management has to talk to whenever they want to expand the payroll. I thought the team could have eaked out another strong season, but only at busting the budget again, which is something Nintendo doesn't like to do. Until the team shows some talent, I don't think they'll mind being Ichiro + low paid backup.
As long as Nintendo of Japan has their money involved in the Mariners, I can't see Ichiro being traded. It may not make a lot of baseball sense sometimes, but having Japanese players on the roster probably makes it easier for the payroll to stay above canadian team levels.

Patterson? Please. Ichiro is a hitting, stealing, money-making machine for the club. The Mariners have a large Japanese cult following due entirely to Ichiro. RIP Pettitte, you had a pretty good season. It's just too bad the bullpen blows and the supposedly all-star lineup is entirely too inconsistent. Here's to next year, I guess.

What do you get when you put the worst pitcher on the Astros, the two most disappointing teams in baseball, and the slowest runner in baseball...
DAVID WEATHERS INDUCES A GROUND BALL TRIPLE PLAY TO MORGAN ENSBERG. GO TODD PRATT!
Edit: Hrm, that doesn't look right for some reason...
DW pitches....Pratt grounds to Ensberg. Steps on the bag, flings to 2nd, to 1st...triple play. Bases were loaded with 0 outs. LOL
