2024 Major League Baseball season (Page 29 of 91)

Gotta admit that I was very disappointed last night. You expect Strasburg to win. Surprised to still be top of the NL east pile.

Hey Rick...after flopping with the Padres at the end of last year, Anthony Rizzo made his Cubs debut to much fanfare last night...wound up with 2 hits, including the game winning RBI double. He's gonna push us over the top in the fight to avoid the cellar, lololololol.

Caught a little MLB history today, and it happened to the team I love to see this stuff happen to. The Giants completed a 3 game shutout sweep of the Dodgers, which has never happened to them before in a 3 game or more series. It was the 4th shutout series sweep for the Giants. Oh yeah, the Giants pulled into a tie for 1st place with the win.

                                                                                                        Viva Gigantes!!!

                                                                                                        J Dawg

quite remarkable Dawg, is there some kind of record they could break shortly? We had a chance to pick up a game on the Nats, but there was that Kubel guy again with a 2 run double and then the 9th inning homer given up by Kimbrel, first HR he has allowed all year. damn, it would have been a sweep of the Dbacks.
Watch out NL west, a new pitcher for the Dbacks is Trevor Bauer out of UCLA. He only pitched 4 innings last night but was impressive. He does have a tendency to walk a few folks. He warms up for 1 1/2 hours with Yoga, special stretching, etc. I think we got us another Bill Walton type here. Wonder if he likes the Dead?

damn, I didn't mean to jinx them Dawg but it is better for them that it's over. winning the game is the only thing that matters.

Look, SF fans did a great job stuffing the allstar ballots for their guys. I have no problem with that. Now I'm asking for help on this final ballot for the extra guy to be added. Chipper Jones should be there this being his last year, and KC is the only stadium he has not played in. I agree that Bryce Harper deserves to be there as well, but he has many more years ahead of him. Michael Bourn probably also deserves to be there.

Please won't you give your additional votes to Chipper? He said he didn't want to be added as a charity case, and that's a load of crap because he has earned it year in year out. The power numbers are down this year and he has missed many games, but the average and hustle and leadership have not waivered.

PLEASE, PLEASE vote Chipper to be added to the roster. I understand George that you have to vote for Bryce, but all you others need to help get him in. I'm begging, grovelling, on my knees.

p.s. SF is well represented also by ATL, congrats to Dan Uggla!!! I love his work ethic and hustle.

I gave Chipper some votes. I too hope he gets in.
Rick
Must have worked. He's in!

Definite signs of life. The race heats up Bill. They brought up a bunch of AAA players and some are showing great promise.

About the cellar...Its been a depressing season for the Phils! However, my son informs me that in all of MLB history, the Phillies have been the most losing team EVER!! So, I've readjusted my attitude and come down from that winning feeling for the last several years to that Forrest Gump state of mind...baseball is like a box of chocolates...

About catchers - My favorite catchers are Carlos Ruiz, Brian McCann and Buster Posey. I like Chipper Jones, I'm glad he made the cut!
