Their lead in the NL West is down to 3-1/2 games. Rockies keep on winning.
What a huge series this weekend, with the Giants coming in to Denver. Unfortunately, Coors Fields is a house of horrors for the Giants, but they absolutely need to find a way to at least split the four games. I'm not getting my hopes up...
I sure didn't. They haven't been playing like a top team in quite some time. On the bright side, this was a slump that was bound to happen at some point in the season. No one in their right mind could think that they would maintain a 104-win pace for the whole season, since it's pretty obvious they aren't that dominant a team. And if you're going to have a long slump, I'd rather it be after already building a decent division lead and with plenty of time to get it together for October. They've had some bad luck with close games and in extra innings, but they were also overachieving in those areas earlier in the season, so it's evening out.
On the other hand, a slump is a slump. If it gets so bad that they lose the division lead entirely, then all bets are off. They still have to turn it around soon, or they'll have choked away the entire season in one month.

The Mets are good at it too.No, the Cubs are the only team capable of choking away a season that quickly
Looks like the Cubs will lose. Funny that the Dodgers intentionally walked to load the bases to face Soriano..and he failed.
such a shame they won't be able to do it for the third straight year, since they are 9 games under and double digits out of a playoff spot (elimination number is 30 btw). yeah, the braves stink too, but we don't blow 7 and 3.5 game leads with 17 games to go in the season, we actually made the playoffs (but usually lose in the first series).
When is somebody going to call out Minaya for some of the signings he's made in the past few years?? He must have pictures of somebody...
I just want to thank the Indians for giving us Clifford Lee
Peace
Yeah, that's going quite well so far! Each time I see his box score I think, "Damn, we should have gotten him."
Yankees 20, Red Sox 11 tonight.
Boy, the Red Sox better start playing better because their lead in the AL wildcard standings is getting tenuous, too.

3 innings pitched so far in his first start as a Cardinal and Smoltz already has 7 strikeouts. I wonder how long it'll last.
Unlike Beckett. Maybe the Sux should trade back for Smoltz.He pitched flawlessly yesterday
In related **** pitching moves by the Sawx, they may get Billy can't pitch for **** Wagner off of waivers.
Try watching the LLWS,now thats baseball
**** the LLWS. overhyping 6 year olds is pointless.
Why would he be bitter, his Ace only lost twice in a row to the Yankees.
And the Smoltz hate? Maybe Smoltz isn't a bad pitcher and he just hates the Red Sox too like everyone else who lives outside of Boston and wants to see them lose
johan santana may not pitch until 2011. the mets have nobody left, i think citi field is cursed, and i'm starting to feel sorry for them.
but this again proves that you can't buy a winning team, as the second highest payroll is in 4th and double digits under .500.

First of all who is Wagner to demand anything, he is a washed up pitcher. Second why do the Red Sox want him, he is a washed up pitcher.

He could be decent second lefty option out of the pen after Okajima. But this isn't going to happen. The Mets are going to want a decent prospect (I think I heard top 20) in order to trade Wagner. But the Red Sox won't give up that good of a prospect for a six week rental if they're not going to be able to at least offer him arbitration to get the draft pick compensation.
