2024 Major League Baseball season (Page 31 of 91)

welcome back to the big leagues Ben Sheets, Mets could only manage 2 hits and 0 ER in 6 very solid innings. We need another pitcher to step up in the worst way. It was a great weekend sweep, payback for them doing the same to us to open the season. and now, come on down all ye Giants and prepare for the ass-whoopin that probably won't happen. If my calculations are correct we will face Zito, Cain, and Bumgarner. Should be a great series. GO BRAVES!

wow, we got our butts kicked vs SF and it ended the 7 game win streak. At 4-0 I went back to playing Tiger Woods PGA on PS3. But what really got me was waking up this morning to find out the Mets had blown leads in the 9th and 10th, only to give the Nats the win on a walkoff wild pitch. $^%&*&^%$##$%%^ *#$%^ damn Mets....

Who'd a thunk???? Wierd outcome, but we'll take it!

                                                                                                              Viva Gigantes!!!

G Dawg, read an interesting article on the Nats regarding Stephen Strasburg. The Nats will probably be scrutinizing the available pitching as the trade deadline approaches since Strasburgs season will be ending at 160 innings, or around early Sept. those are Dr. Yocums orders to further rehab his arm from Tommy John surgery that he underwent. 2 teams expected to hold fire sales are the Phillies & Miami, both have a lot of high priced players with contracts ending and now's the time to get what they can for them. The deadline is always interesting and this year will be no exception. The biggest name being tossed around is Justin Upton of the Diamondbacks, he'd look really good in a SF uniform. The Giants are looking for a couple of bats, so the rumor mill has it.

                                                                                                      Viva Gigantes!!!

On the other hand, they may think that the pitching is strong and deep enough even without Strasburg, who certainly has been the main man.

Well Tres, this weekend could be crunch time for both teams, though I'm not sure how many of these games I'll actually be able to see.

The Giants are holding their own leading the West, but the buzz in the Bay Area is goin' on in Oakland. The A's just completed a 4 game sweep of the Yankees, who are mere mortals after all. Moneyball is live and well in the East Bay again. The A's lead the league in walk off wins and if the season ended today they'd be the 2nd wild card team in the AL. We'll see if they can keep it goin' and the other thing to keep an eye on is that looming trade deadline next Tue.

With Brett Gardner out and Swisher day to day the Yanks went for some insurance. They'll probably get a little more outta Ichiro than they have with Dewayne Wise and Andruw Jones. That sweep by the A's might have rattled their supremist attitude a bit too.

the Braves got Maholm (P) and Reed Johnson from the cubbies in a trade, they got some minor leaguers but probably good talent there. We needed another pitcher badly and I think Maholm will fit in just fine if we just score him a few runs.
