When you think you have seen it all ....my God

Those Nats don't have an edge. It could take them years to get out of the mess Bowden made. They should hire Bobby V and give him complete control of baseball operations.

The Daily news is tracking the home runs in the Bronx through ten games - Coors Field 1999 - 35 home runs through ten games - MFY 2009 - 36 home runs Coors field yielded 303 home runs in 1999 , a number YS3 could exceed.

It's double your pleasure today Roberts book is selling like hot cakes. Ishmail Jones, a student living in Manhattan, said he's a "big fan" of A-Rod and plans to read the book. "I've heard so much about it, I want to read about the steroids and about his personality, I look up to him a lot, and when the controversy came out I was like, 'Wow.'" Douchebags try to re-enter MFYSIII after leaving before 9PM. Blackwater Security say no to vagrants

Beltran 4 Maine 3 Wright 2 Parnell 0.5 Rodriguez 0.5

Takahashi 1.5 Putz 1 Parnell .5 Murphy 1 Castro 1 Castillo 1 Cora 1 Wright .5

Pelfrey - 3.5 Putz - .5 Rodriguez - .5 Murphy - 1.5 Santos - 1 Wright - 1 Reyes - 1 Beltran - .5 Tatis - .5

Green isn't fooling anyone is he? I thought he would be more of a swing and miss type of pitcher , maybe he is when he's on .

Those numbers for Maine don't look as bad but from what I have seen Maine looks just as lost out there from inning to inning.

Nice work , was checking out Braves comments over at AJC and they are all worried about Schafer and his strike outs. Schafer leads the National League with 30 strikeouts in 77 at-bats.

Oliie "demoted" to the bullpen.

Various hot male actors of the time-- Jason Priestley, Christian Slater, etc.-- are brought up, and his reaction is always some variation on calling them "sassy." What is "sassy"? The SNL players never explain. Really, it's the same with edge/heart/mojo/swagger, as regards American team sports. It's been said (and I'm paraphrasing, obviously) that G-d is what humans call the unknowable. In a kinda-sorta related way-- if an infinitely-hackier milieu-- it seems to be the name that sportswriters give to those vagaries of chance which, say, deliver St. Louis a World Series championship over more talented Mets and Tigers squads. Why did the Cards win? They hung tough, they hit when it counted... they had pluck, edge, love for the game. It's like luck, but with more of a narrative forced on it. LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 05 2009 12:39 PM So... Beltran. Two homers. In key spots, both. This count as edge? soupcan May 05 2009 12:47 PM I don't know. I guess so. This kind of crap always bothers me though - did Beltran just gut it out and focus more and just decide 'damn it, I'm taking control of this game!' or did Vasquez just run out of gas and start to make bad pitches? The Braves took an early lead and then stopped hitting (sound familiar?). So did the Mets overcome or did the Braves choke? batmagadanleadoff May 05 2009 12:50 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on May 05 2009 12:52 PM Maybe all that happened is that Beltran hit two HR's: two HR's that (by the way) wouldn't have cleared the outfield wall at Citi Field. John Cougar Lunchbucket May 05 2009 12:52 PM It's obvious Beltran is hot and he got some pitches and didn;t miss 'em. What was a tiny bit more encouraging was seeing Wright hammer one and even Reyes get a solid hit and a few swipes. Anyone remember Reyes? holychicken May 05 2009 01:41 PM ="John Cougar Lunchbucket":1musvx31]Anyone remember Reyes?[/quote:1musvx31] Sorry, too busy hating on Wright to think about hating on Reyes right now. However, I reserve the right to remember and hate Reyes once Wright gets and stays out of his funk. Ashie62 May 05 2009 02:23 PM Can we sign Frankens' Stuart Smalley" as morale officer

Philly gets an MLS team for 2010 , I'm pretty sure that there will be European style soccer hooliganism coming to these parts.

Takahashi was just great the other day , I was hoping as much for the win for him as anything.

Rogers telling anyone to " go away" is priceless .

I think Manuel needs to go to the minor leagues for a while.

Nine walks today , it caught up with us....

He's a great pro.......seriously I don't know why he upsets people(nymr) so much.

Damn....sorry Ollie

I'll gladly start the IGT Sunday.... Cone on Ollie

Keith calls Cora a " great professional" , which means what? 1) - you suck but you're a good guy 2) you couldn't hit spuds to ducks so I'm going to say something nice about you 3) you're all glove.........but a great pro 4) who is he again?
