the "baseball only" thread

Of course you watch the Red Sox. BTW, do you get the Mets radio network ( WFAN ) and WB11 WPIX in New York?
 
I think we get WB20 here but it changes to WB 11 every few weeks to pick up Mets games during the day.
 
The Mets game starts in 10 minutes. I will be back later on tonight and recap the rest of the scores and recap the Mets/ Giants game. See you later.
 
All games are now final.
In the American League
In 12 innings the Indians beat the White Sox 6-4.
Mariners come from behind to defeat Tampa Bay 6-5.
The A's clobber the Blue Jays 12-4.

In the National League
The Rockies outscored the Reds 8-6
The Dodgers outslug the Brewers 10-6
The Cubs shutout the highpowered Padres 4-0
The Mets crushed the Giants in the 2nd game of the Doubleheader 12-1.
 
I predict the Red Sox will play the field the following way today due to the fact they are playing in a national league park:

1B:Ortiz
2B:Bellhorn
SS:Renteria
3B:Mueller
C:Varitek
LF:Ramirez
CF😛ayton(If Damon is still having shoulder problems)
RF:Millar

The Dodgers led 9-3 yesterday afternoon, and, despite lousy pitching, held on to win 10-6. Kent was 4 for 4 with a walk and 4 RBI. 😀 😀
 
The Cubs beat the Pondscum 4-0, thanks to the pitching, which scattered only 5 hits, more importantly, the Cubs lead the wildcard, and are only 5 1/2 games behind the Cardinals with 16 more head-to-head meetings left 😀
 
After the game, I went back to my motel and watched on ESPN as the Mets clobbered the hated jints 12-1. 😀 😀
 
I will be rooting for the Red Sox, Cubs, Pirates, and Brewers tonight :couch:
 
Derek Lowe pitches tonight for the Dodgers. I hope that former member of the Red Sox does well. 😀
 
Wow the Mets did not play but moved into a tie for 2nd place as the Braves lost tonight. The Cubs lost to Toronto 4-1 as the Mets are now a half game behind in the wild card standings and one game behind the Washington Nationals who lead the National League East. :couch:
 
I am happy to report that Lowe pitched well, despite bad defense behind him, and the Dodgers won, 5-3. 😀

Jeff Kent had 4 RBI, including a 3-run HR. 😀 😀 😀 😀
 
The Mets behind Pedro Martinez defeat the listless Houston Astros. Pedro pitched all 9 innings giving up 1 run on 2 hits struck out 12 batters and walked only 1 in a dazzling performance. Final Score Mets 3 Astros 1.
 
Results of my baseball vacation so far: The Dodgers have won 4 games 😀 😀 😀 😀 and lost 2 :Grrr: :Grrr: .
 
The Cubs are now preparing for the Red Sox, and we will have our best pitchers pitching as Maddux, Zambrano, and Rusch will take the mound 😛


note to tf4f: whenever the Cubs lose, you waste no time reporting it. Wonder why that is??? 🙄
 
My Commentary on the "National League Least, ahem, East"

Has anyone noticed how crazy this division is? All five teams in the division are at least 1 game about 500, with the Marlins in last place, and right now, the Nationals in first place. No team has managed to take any kind of a commanding lead in the division, although right now the Nationals are riding a five game win streak. This division, logically, should end up as a race between my Braves, the Marlins, and Phillies. Atlanta should be playing a lot better then they are, but, at the moment, have been devestated by injuries, with pitchers Mike Hampton and John Thomson on the DL, and slugger Chipper Jones perhaps heading for surgery that could keep him out 2 months or longer.
In all the other five divisions in baseball, each division leader has a lead of at least several games, and has established themselves as a solid team. Not in this division.
Historically, the NL East, while dominated by the Braves since they moved from the West in 1995, has had a couple of times where the division winner was less than stellar, and eeked out a division "win" in a very close race, such as in 2001, when the Braves less than dominated the competetion with only an 88-74 record, and a two game decision over the second place Phils. 1973 also comes to mind, when the "Ya Gotta Believe" Mets, led by the late Tug Macgraw's battle cry, won the East with only 82 wins, in a year when the division was almost as close as it is this year, with the exception of the last place Phillies.
I have been waiting for someone in this division to get hot, and put a lead of several games up there. So far, it hasnt happened. Each team in the division has been very streaky.
Barring an unexpected run by one of the clubs, I forsee that this divsion could possibly stay as it is now for the rest of the year, with all five teams hovering around 500, or a few games above, or below, and possibly yield a division "winner" who finishes with a total of 85 wins. I'm not saying that its definitely going to happen, because someone could unexpectedly get hot, but looking at each team, they all have their share of strengths, and also very glaring weaknesses. The Braves, for example, have major injuries. When healthy, they have a top starting rotation. However, even when everyone gets healthy, they have a very weak offense, and lack a real bullpen closer, as Dan Kolb has been a major disappointment.
So, my call is that this division remains close all year, with a division winner who isnt very solid. I could be wrong, but this is how I see it now.

Mitch
 
Hate to disappoint ya, Mitch, but the Braves are toast. Not enough offense, and Kolb is not your answer at closer. It seems once the Marlins get going, the division is theirs
 
Having seen Farnsworth pitch an inning for the Tigers yesterday (98mph fastballs on the corners of the plate), I would say that the Cubs should have had more patience with him.

Hindsight is always 20-20, isn't it? 😀
 
Yeah you suckers... I invaded you're thread. So sorry... oh wait, maybe I'm not. :imouttahe
 
Right now, The Nationals are starting to pull away in the East ( 10 game winning streak in tow ) and the Phillies and the Cubs ( with all those injuries ) are wildcard leaders. The Cubs should they get their injuried back and in TOP form will be formiable. This will be an interesting race indeed. :shock:
 
The Dodgers took 2 out of 3 from the Twins, who are quite a good team. 😀
