No one will go unpunished if the Yanks do not hold on to win tonight. 4 losses in a row, including one after being up 7-1 and 9-3 will not fly. George will go in to kill mode.

Paul Quantrill suck ass lately. He threw like 5 pitches, and 5 runs scored.

Thank you Gordon for ending the damn inning.

 

[Wheeljack539]

::sigh:: They don't refer to him as Kardiac Kaz in the newsgroups for nothing...

It's still early in the game though...

 

[Rodriguez]

WTF Quantrill? You asshole. That's 2 straight appearances where he hasn't been able to even register an out.

How far away is Karsay from coming back?

 

[speshylives]

Welp this ones blown. This will be the turning point, one way or the other.

 

[Rodriguez]

Fucking shit.

 

[speshylives]

Poor Gordon doesn't deserve the loss. This one was all Quantrill.

 

[Rodriguez]

Fuck yeah, Gary Sheffield comes through again!

 

[speshylives]

Sheffield gets Gordon off the hook...

 

[Joe]

thank you sheff aka al mvp.

 

[Rodriguez]

Matsui comes through with a big hit.

 

[speshylives]

Breathing room. This has been a hellish torture fest of a game to watch..update slowly on mlb.com.

Holy shit, old school Rivera mows them down to finish the game. K's the side on 10 pitches.

 

[Cubsfan23]

Prior vs Oswalt. This thread is going to blow up

 

[rc213]

DAMN U ISHII your 5 runs did us in. This has got to be the worst week for the Dodgers this year! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDGE!

 

[AztecaGX]

Damn, Gagne can't hold on to it on back to back nights. Sad days for LA fans. Estrada is making us Braves fans forget about Javy Lopez.

 

[Mrbob]

Gagne is finished. The league has caught up to him.

What the Dodgers need to do is trade him to the Cubbies straight up for Farnsworth. A steal for the Dodgers I say!!!

Werd. Would be a smart move.

 

[Miguel]

Cubs vs Astros. Astros have to take 5 of 7 vs the Cubs, and 2 of 3 from the Phillies. 7 of 10. It's not TOO Much to ask for...is it?

 

[Baconäger]

Not really, unless you're the Houston Astros.

LOL!

Braves got lucky we had Ishii on the mound tonight, cause after he went out our bullpen shut em down. *Cough* Except for Gagne that is.



L.A., needing 'pen help, gets D-Backs' Dessens

The Arizona Diamondbacks traded Elmer Dessens to Los Angeles on Thursday, the Dodgers' second deal for a pitcher since finding out this week that reliever Darren Dreifort was facing season-ending surgery.

The NL West-leading Dodgers sent minor league outfielder Jereme Milons to the Diamondbacks for Dessens and cash considerations. Dreifort was put on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to Tuesday.

 

[Lathentar]

Thats what happens when you trade your set up guy. Gagne is starting to crack.

Astros vs. Cubs. Could end up being a very important series.

Yup. Time to put the stros away for good. No need to let them play spoiler!

 

[Lathentar]

The Cubs rotation had to be tweaked because of Kerry Wood's five-game suspension, which ends Sunday. Glendon Rusch was scheduled to start Friday and Mark Prior on Saturday followed by Wood on Sunday.

According to MLB.com it will be Wood vs. Oswalt on Sunday.

 

[Incognito]

I'm really impressed with the Braves. Nice, nice effort this year.

My question is why would anyone doubt Bobby Cox? Until he retires, the Braves are going to make it to the post season.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

i may be a few days late, but that fucker that hit the AL MVP Ichiro in the head needs to die. FUCKER!

[Ninja Scooter]

[Mrbob]

WTF is wrong with the ASStros organization???


http://msn.foxsports.com/story/2680034

The Boston Red Sox and Houston Astros allowed a trade to break down that would have sent Roger Clemens back to the city where he spent the first 13 seasons of his major-league career, according to the Providence Journal.

LOLZ.

 

[Miguel]

According to most of the media here, it was all poppycock journalism. Clemens was placed on waivers, like 3/4 of the players in the league are. He was claimed by Boston, and Houston took him back. Apparently Boston asked what Houston wanted for him, Astros said no deal.

Jeff Kent though, has apparently gone through waivers.

Cubs going down. 5-2, 6-5, and 2-0.

 

[Lathentar]

Cubs going down. 5-2, 6-5, and 2-0.

This is what happens when you make Predictions. STOP IT! This being 3 runs scored by the Cubs in the first.

 

[Cubsfan23]

Hitting home runs is fun

 

[Cubsfan23]

Nomar !!!

 

[Lathentar]

Hitting home runs is fun

You've got to be kidding me here.

 

[Cubsfan23]

I thought Minute Maid had already hosted a home run derby this year?

 

[Rodriguez]

Quantrill stinks it up again. Well, at least he got outs this time in addition to giving up runs.

 

[Mrbob]

9-2 Cubbies going into the bottom of the 8th!

The beatdown begins! Time to extend our dominance over the weaker NL teams!!

 

[Joe]

i honestly dont care if the yankees lose if its against AL wildcard hopefuls (except the red sox).

 

[rc213]

What a game! Gagne with a puzzling effort once again. I think Tracy has to give Gagne a break. 3 Straight games where he has struggled for some reason. But BELTRE saving our skins twice in one game with number 37 off Smoltz for the extra innings and the game winner in the 11th!!!

 

[El Papa]

great game, thank you Beltre for getting the doomed fooling out of my gut. Man, Gagne is slipping, he'll be fine after some rest though.

 

[rc213]

Tracy seriously needs to setup a pattern for the bullpen. Sorry to say it but Gagne isnt going to be able to handle the load if he has to be pitching for 2 inning saves. Dodgers are involved in way too many close games.

 

[Meier]

Damn Beltre is gonna get 50 jacks this year it looks like. Crazy!

 

[Poody]

Tracy has lost his fucken mind. I often question his decisions

 

[Mrbob]

God Prior sucks ass this year.

Walks the bases loaded and gives up a two out, two run single to the pitcher...!

 

[Matrix]

He should pitch for the stros,he would fit right in.

 

[DMczaf]

2-2 today so far. Sexy beast.

What, the Mariners are 30 games below .500? I dont hear you! LALALALALALALA!

 

[Baconäger]

hah, Bagwell fucked that one up.

 

[Matrix]

Poor Backe...Choke city baby!


Also its pretty fucking sad when your ballpark is full of cubs fans,I swear there are more Cubs fans than Stros fans cheering.
