All I have to say is Ted Lily, sigh. Another bad start and this time the bullpen or offense cant' do anything. Hope to avoid the sweep tomarrow. That's because you're offense was going against the best pitcher in the NL, Cole Hamels. So far this year he's 2-1 with a 0.82 ERA. A 0.82 ERA!!The one loss was a 1-0 defeat. Johan who? Maybe colehamelsfacts.com is right, Hamels will win 1 Cy Young and 11 Cole Hamels! On a bad note, Shane Victorino was put on the 15 day DL with a right calf strain. I can't believe there's actually a site called colehamelsfacts.com. That is incredible.

Um...if you score 7 runs, the problem isn't offense. Just saying. When they hit into 5 double plays, it is the problem.

Braves lost 5-4. They got the bases loaded with 2 outs in the 9th, but couldn't get the run in.

Oh believe me, our achilles heel so far this year has been one run ball games. Five or six of the seven losses have been one run games. But at this point in the season it's nothing to get up in arms over.

So much for cursing the new Yankee Stadium:
NY Yankees unearth buried Red Sox jersey from new stadium By KAREN MATTHEWS, Associated Press Writer 16 minutes ago
NEW YORK (AP)—A construction worker’s bid to curse the New York Yankees by planting a Boston Red Sox jersey in their new stadium was foiled Sunday when the home team removed the offending shirt from its burial spot.
After locating the shirt in a service corridor behind what will be a restaurant in the new Yankee Stadium, construction workers jackhammered through the concrete Sunday and pulled it out.
The team said it learned that a Sox-rooting construction worker had buried a shirt in the new Bronx stadium, which will open next year across the street from the current ballpark, from a report in the New York Post on Friday.
Yankees President Randy Levine said team officials at first considered leaving the shirt where it was.
“The first thought was, you know, it’s never a good thing to be buried in cement when you’re in New York,” Levine said. “But then we decided, why reward somebody who had really bad motives and was trying to do a really bad thing?”
On Saturday, construction workers who remembered the employee, Gino Castignoli, phoned in tips about the shirt’s location.
Team officials watched Sunday as construction workers removed the jersey from two feet of concrete in a service corridor of the stadium that is under construction.
“We had anonymous people come tell us where it was, and we were able to find it,” said Frank Gramarossa, a project executive with Turner Construction, the general contractor on the site.
It took about five hours of drilling Saturday to locate the shirt under 2 feet of concrete, he said.
On Sunday, Levine and Yankees CEO Lonn Trost watched as Gramarossa and foreman Rich Corrado finished the job and pulled the shirt from the rubble.
In shreds from the jackhammers, the shirt still bore the letters “Red Sox” on the front. It was a David Ortiz jersey, No. 34.
Trost said the Yankees had discussed possible criminal charges against Castignoli with the district attorney’s office.
“We will take appropriate action since fortunately we do know the name of the individual,” he said.
A woman who answered the phone at Castignoli’s home in the Bronx on Sunday said he was not there.
A spokesman for Bronx District Attorney Robert Johnson said Sunday he did not know whether any criminal charges might apply.
Levine said the shirt would be cleaned up and sent to the Jimmy Fund, a charity affiliated with Boston’s Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
“Hopefully the Jimmy Fund will auction it off and we’ll take the act that was a very, very bad act and turn it into something beautiful,” he said.

Yes sir, and they're all true! Cole Hamels kryptonite=Bar fights "The movie Roadhouse is loosely based on the bar fights Cole Hamels has been in." "Johan Santana wanted to be traded to the Mets so he would have the ability to watch Cole Hamels pitch more often." "When Cole Hamels goes to the strip club, the girls hand him one dollar bills." -colehamelsfacts.com Oh yeah Ani, why was Santana's start moved up a day so he'd be facing the Nats instead of us seeing Hamels vs Santana in game 1 of the Phils/Mets 3 game series on Friday?

The Blue Jays sweep Texas in 3 games. BJ Ryan makes his return to make the save. It's good to be a Jays fan right now.

Goddamn lazy ass manager. How the hell do we go from being a top defense last year, add a top level defensive 3B, and now all of a sudden suck ass at fielding.
It isn't talent it's motivation. Why can't we get a decent manager.

First I have to put up with Buck/McCarver, and now it's Miller/Morgan. I hate Nationally televised games.

While we're talking about great pitchers, and how well Hamels is doing, check my sig for Smoltzies stats. 2 G, 2-0, 11 IP, 0.82 ERA, 4 BB, 11 SO

Glavine's injury isn't serious.
At most he MAY miss his next start.

As long as all our teams gets their heads on straight it'll be a good race this year. Hudson is pitching great as well. Maybe Florida will surprise us all and take the division.

First I have to put up with Buck/McCarver, and now it's Miller/Morgan. I hate Nationally televised games. I love watching those guys late in the season when they're stuck with a major turkey. They had a Cubs game late in the 1999 season because they had booked a lot of Cubs games after the 1998 playoff run. Anyway Joe spent the entire game apologizing for the crappy television game. It was pretty funny but I'm not doing it justice. Just think of Joe Morgan whinning about MLB not letting ESPN change their Sunday Night game for about 2 1/2 hours and you'll get the point.
