Five Brewers have homered so far today:

Brady Clark
Lyle Overbay
Chad Moeller
Geoff Jenkins
J.J. Hardy

[Valadius]

Seventeen hits for Milwaukee. The Reds have terrible pitching, but still... wow.

[Valadius]

For Texas, SP Chris Young left the game after one inning due to right arm fatigue. Did he blow out his arm?

[MFS62]

You have to love that Texas pitching staff (and I use that term loosely).
Maybe Zambrano and a second line pitching prospect (Blake the Fake? - sorry Edgy) can pry away a hitter from them this off season.

He's not my son.

[MFS62]

I know. But you and I seemed to think he was a prospect around the same time, before he was adopted.
I kinda' figured you still had a soft spot for the kid.
Guess I should have asked forgveness from JD, too.

Dickshot has been nurturing him for quite long time --- back to the beginning of the adoption era.

Nonetheless, I, as usual, don't like that deal.

JJ Hardy, saving my fantasy team's season.

Seems like a fit, we have pitching, they have hitting (and I don't mean Soriano, who IMO would be a mistake).
IIRC you have posted several times that the Mets need to add offense. Why would you be against such a deal?
Is it the AL to NL?
Is it because they are in a hitter's park?
Something else?
S'plain, please.
What alternative do you propose?

[Valadius]

What do they have that we could make fit that would make sense? They won't trade Teixeira. Blalock and Young don't fit. Adrian Gonzalez has not proven that he should have been a #1 overall pick. That leaves only Soriano, who I DON'T want on this team, because his glove reeks of Victor Diaz's.

On the AL front:

Devil-Dogs score 4 times in the 1st against Jaret wright and lead by that score in the 4th. Yanx w/no hits thru 3 off something named Waechter.
Sheffield left the game early w/some unexplained leg injury.



Oakland scored [u:adb65eff0e]5 times in the 9th[/u:adb65eff0e] to beat Seattle 8-7.
Nick Swisher gets the "walk-off walk" off Jeff Nelson the 7th Mariner pitcher of the day



Boston tallies 3 in the 3rd to take a 4-3 lead over Anaheim


Cleveland leading Detroit 3-1

Dontrelle goes for win #20. Patterson for Washington left the game in the 1st.


Philly 3 - Houston 2 in the 4th
Backe & Padilla pitching. Ryan Howard w/a 3R HR for the Phils

[Frayed Knot]

Heh-heh-heh, Yanx load the bases in the 7th down just 4-3 and Jeter GiDPs to end the threat and the inning.


Boston up 6-3 in the 8th


seriously, I just used a racist word when I really meant "Guardians" win and could be the WC leader before the night is over


Marlins rolling 8-1 in the 6th


Astros 5 - Phils 3 (phils haven't beat Houston in a couple of years now)

Astros lead by 2 trying to close out the bottom of the inning.

[Valadius]

Dontrelle Willis won his 20th game of the season today as the Marlins mangled the Nats 12-1. The Nats used SEVEN pitchers, and all seven gave up either 1 or 2 earned runs.
