They took 2 of 3 against the Sox. Holliday leads the NL, Helton is still pretty strong, etc. etc.
How dare the mighty Rocket lose to the Rockies?
You Yankee's fans were all having orgasms when you saw Roger in George's box.Now you can't believe he lost to the Rockies?Gimme a break.The guy couldn't even get past the fifth inning lol..The money you spent on him?TFB.That's what you get for blowing your wad on a 45yo mercenary who decides to show up when he wants.Get used to it.I hope the arrogant,self absorbed SOB continues to implode..You can only use band aids for so long....
You know if he decided to go to Boston you wouldn't of been able to contain yourself.How dare the mighty Rocket lose to the Rockies?
I've decided I'm pissed off at the NL East.
For the past few years we have arguably been the NL's strongest division, sure the Braves won it fourteen in a row, but a few of those years things got interesting. Now this year we're starting to look like the NL West of two years ago, it's pathetic. Really, the NL East could conceivably be won by a team with a sub .500 record. Right now though, it looks like the Phillies are really going to be the team to beat. It's an amazing turn around for them from the beginning of the year to now, when the braves and the mets were running away with the division. It's just sad.
Had either the Braves or the Mets gotten hot and put together say a five or six game win streak and played .500 ball the rest of the past two months (even more so the past three weeks) then the division would nearly be cinched for that team. Instead all three teams (mets braves phillies) are looking at falling below .500.
On deck for us? The freaking Tigers. Exactly what a team with a struggling perennial all star and gold glover needs.

I figure half would have said "ZOMG TEH ROCKET!" and the other half would have said "ZOMG 2 OLD", and a few would have said "who?" and been slapped for being so ignorant about baseball.
Looks like Pedroia has found the key to surviving Red Sox Nation.
"I just said, 'You know what? The hell with all these people.' These people are writing articles and everybody's reading it and thinking I'm a bad player, when in reality, they don't even know who I am," Pedroia says. "So, I stopped thinking about them and got into a, 'I don't really care,' and went with that attitude. And I've been performing ever since."

Whatever he's been doing,keep doing it..I'll take it..If only Lugo would channel the boos,lol...
what a sucky team
ugh, scoreless streak to 28 innings. stupid braves lose 5-0, and we're just two games over .500 now.
andruw jones under the mendoza line, hitting .199.

Keith Foulke said pretty much the same thing (and referred to "Joe Sixpack" at the same time) and got kinda blasted for it. I mean, do fans actually think their opinion of a player has an impact on their performance? Maybe if an MLB team goes co-op... Then we'd have this for a rotation in Boston: Pedro, Clemens, Wakfield, Arroyo, Lester. Nomar would still be at short, Millar would be at first, Bill Mueller would be the hitting coach, Youk would be at third, we'd still have a revolving door at 2nd, and the outfield would still be Manny/Damon/Nixon.
The Cardinals season has been dissapoining this year, but the way I see it....who cares, they won the f**king world series last year!
Besides, it doesn't seem uncommon for teams to do really crappy the season after winning the world series, I guess they're in the "don't give a damn" mode.

Spoken like a true Redbirds fan. Maybe we'll have something to post about the second half of the season.
So we're sitting at thirty one scoreless innings. Awful.
Plus an awful call by the ump giving the Tigers a one run lead and causing Davies to pitch an extra 6 pitches.

man, the one time davies pitches well, our offense decides not to show up. ugh, this is getting old really fast. and worse, tomorrow, everyone gets to see our suckiness.
sounds like chipper and smoltz are not eye to eye in this situation that the braves are in. clubhouse tensions usually mean it's going to get worse down in atlanta before things get better.
and bobby was yelling at kelly in the dugout...that's not the bobby i know.
it's going to be a long summer in atlanta.

Davies has pitched a few games quite well. It's just the bad games that you/we remember.
It worked for the Cubs... honestly something needed to be said to chipper- he's the most breakable player we have, it's just pathetic sometimes. Really, I'm glad Smotlz said something publicly that made chipper act. God knows we needed his offense today.
Bobby wasn't quite yelling, but he was for sure chewing Kelly out. Really I can understand why he did, Kelly SHOULD have been swinging- BE AGGRESSIVE. Everyone does realize that had the ump made the RIGHT call at the plate in the second inning, we'd have gone to extra innings... we got screwed there.
i remember him, he filled in for trevor in 2003 i think when he got hurt...i know he retired soon after that though. so sad...
OMG. First Jose Uribe and now this! Horrible year for ex-Giants, and Rod was one of my favorites.
