so my MLB.tv subscription starts tomorrow. I assume I'll give up on Seattle (again!), but even if I don't, I may want a 'new' team to watch. I'd prefer National League(just to limit any conflict with my Seattle fandom). But I am willing to go AL as long as its not a team from the West(again, gotta stay true to the M's). Any suggestions? I was kinda thinking about the Reds or Braves.

 The Mets even up this series as they win 3-0. Jon Niese and guitar player Bronson Arroyo pitch tomorrow. The Mets are gonna gain a game on somebody tonight, as the Braves currently lead Philadelphia 4-3 in the 11th. Other players contributed tonight(Bay 2 RBI single), but this was a high-quality Santana performance this 96 degree evening. He got the scoring started when he hit a homer down the right-field line after a 12 pitch AB against Reds starter Matt Maloney. And yes: Here's the Santana at-bat. On the pitching side, Johan was just as good. His line: CG SHO, 3 hits, 3 BB, 5 Ks, 12 swinging strikes, 7:15 GB:FB on 113 pitches(78-35). He was beginning to tire a bit in the 8th inning, but the Reds helped him out by swinging at the 1st pitch. In the 9th inning, after a Jason Bay error on a dropped flyball, Jerry Manuel tried to pull him. Johan probably told him he's OK, but I'd like to pretend that Johan told him "I am a MAN!" as ran Manuel off. The key for Santana tonight was his velocity, which was consistently reaching 91 MPH. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that he's lowered his hands on the mound. In injury/minor league stuff, Carlos Beltran is 1-3 with a BB & a double so far in his rehab game & Wilmer Flores is 3-4 with a double & 2 RBI as well. Edit: Apparently the Wilpons are going broke again & won't be able to add payroll. As it stands now, the payroll is at $126 million. |

A fan fell from the second deck in Texas. Word is he's alive and able to move all extremities, but still, yikes. |

Thank you oh so very much Miguel.
Also, Jake Peavy had to leave during the second inning of the White Sox/Angels games with an arm injury of some kind. Don't know how serious it is though.
And we're going to extras in Detroit.

Oh, and it goes without saying: GOD DAMN IT. Not that 3 hits is going to win you any games, but still, Phillies needed this one bad, and they just straight up blew it.

Aramis Ramirez with 2 2-run homers tonight against the D-Backs and has his average up to .184, which is the highest it's been since he went 0-4 on April 9th to drop to .200. Those are #7 and 8 for Aramis; Kosuke also hit #8 tonight. He always hits well in Phoenix. Gotta be the dome. Carlos Silva is now 9-2 with a 2.96 ERA. Carlos Marmol recorded a 5-out save with 5 strikeouts. He now has 77 strikeouts in 40.2 innings (17.04 K/9). so my MLB.tv subscription starts tomorrow. I assume I'll give up on Seattle (again!), but even if I don't, I may want a 'new' team to watch. I'd prefer National League(just to limit any conflict with my Seattle fandom). But I am willing to go AL as long as its not a team from the West(again, gotta stay true to the M's). Any suggestions? I was kinda thinking about the Reds or Braves. For comforts sake, I know of a team that has solid starting pitching, a questionable but occasionally good bullpen, an inability to score runs, and an aging Japanese guy who is overpaid. Also, Jake Peavy had to leave during the second inning of the White Sox/Angels games with an arm injury of some kind. Don't know how serious it is though. And in other surprising news, Homicide pissed on Samoa Joe's bathroom floor. "What? No..." Oh, and it goes without saying: GOD DAMN IT. Not that 3 hits is going to win you any games, but still, Phillies needed this one bad, and they just straight up blew it. How in the blue hell was one of the three hits a Ryan Howard triple? Was Melky Cabrera taking a nap? Looks like you can add Youk to the list of Sox injured Yeah, that'll happen. Maybe the Red Sox should bring in Mack Newton to help them stretch and stay healthy. Or maybe Theo's stat guys can work on an "aw f***...not again" metric. |

All this talk of "He didn't make it and he should have, and he didn't deserve to be in, but this guy did..." and yet I haven't heard anyone other than Len and Bob talk about Carlos Marmol.
As H-Fist mentioned before, he has 77 strikeouts in 40.2 innings (17.04 K/9). Think about that for a second and try and justify Brian Wilson being on the team and Heath Bell being the closer in the last man in vote.
SEVENTY SEVEN STRIKE OUTS IN FORTY AND TWO THIRDS INNINGS PITCHED.
Robbed.

We're one or two injuries away from the Red Sox just up and moving their home games to McCoy Stadium in Pawtucket. |
