    btw, the most significant development in last night's NYY/PHI game appears to be (at least to those in the ESPN universe) that Jamie Moyer is now the oldest pitcher ever to beat the Yanquis!!!! ... and, as we all know, records involving the Yanx are so much more meaningful than those affecting other teams. I mean the fuckin' guy is 47 years old, I'm sure that many, if not most, of his wins, his losses, his farts on the mound over the last 2 to 3 seasons have involved some kind of 'oldest ever' mark but I don't recall those others even getting mentioned much less become the main topic as this one did. But now, not only can a guy old enough to have just had his son drafted actually pitch in the major leagues - but he can even beat the Yanquis!!!! For an actual (almost) record, JM wound up throwing an 8 inning 3-hitter, 2 of which were solo HRs. This puts him just one HR behind Robin Roberts for most HRs allowed in a career.

    Off to a real tough start earlier this year, Thole has been hot lately to the point where he now has his season-long slash stats at .283/.354/.462 -- meaning that not only is his BA decent but he's showing fair plate discipline (.061 walk rate is a bit below average) and even Slugging a bit (IsoP = .179 -- .150 about avg). Not that he's likely to ever be a true slugger (145 ABs, 2 HRs) but he's racking up the doubles at such a rate that more than half (21 of 41) of his hits this year have been for extra bases (18 2Bs + 1 3B + 2 HRs).

    One night after smacking around Halladay, Yanx get stymied by Moyer ... go figure. 6-2 Phils in the 9th. Moyer went 8. Marlins losing, Nats losing, Braves winning. Nice to see Livan Hernandez turning back into a pumpkin.

    After last night, just about everyone in the city of Cleveland is being considered for the SS position. Drew Carey was asked but he's out of town this week.

    See, if stadiums still employed organists a clued-in musician would come up with something like that - and if half the stadium (or even the intended target) didn't get it well that's their problem.

    Wow! That was historically wretched.

    More like one of the best-timed career seasons ... plus that one sucker team willing to bet that it wasn't a fluke.

    He looked decent in spring training too. For the fact that the Mets were being spared approx 95% of the contract and that they wanted/needed a 2nd guy who could play CF in Beltran's absence and with Pagan not exactly being Mr. Reliable up until this season, his acquisition wasn't a bad idea. Indeed his (supposed) skills: switch-hits, occasional pop, plays all 3 OF spots, can still run a bit, in a lot of ways made him an ideal guy off the bench. It obviously just never worked.

    And they'll call the $12 mil a salary for his new title in the Braves front office - some honorary thing where he has to show up like four times a year. Vice President in charge of Hooters waitresses or something like that.

    We should probably take a similar view of Santana before we get too worried over not much. Prior to the last two games he was coming off a stretch where he allowed 3 ER in 36.2 IP. He was 1-0 in those 5 starts/ That he won a game where he was only so-so last night is as much payback than anything.
  17. Frayed Knot
    Yeah, but they didn't let Glavine and Smoltz walk while owing them $30 million

    * Phils (and Halladay) lose * Marlins lose 3-2 to Texas on a 2-out / 2-run triple by their former backup C Matt Treanor. Nunez blown save/loss * Nats had an early lead but lost to Detroit 7-4 * Braves - delayed by rain - and then coughed up 4 in the 1st inning to Tampa. Now down 5-1, still in the 2nd

    The producers of tonight's Met game would like to thank the Cleveland infield, without their efforts the win would not have been possible.

    In light of the recent ESPN umpire survey we need to send out a CB Bucknor alert. He has 1B tonight which means he'll have the plate tomorrow. Tonight, as Johan made the most obvious balk move in memory, the home & 2nd base umps were all over it immediately. Bucknor, the guy with theoretically the best view on that type of step-balk, never even flinched.

    Not exactly shaping up to be the pitchers' duel most would have expected, 5-3 Yanx after 4.

    I've been fooled on at least half of Ike's HRs this year. It looks like he got under it or just missed it and they go out anyway. And now, Ike, wasn't that a lot better than the bunt?

    Carter's the guy the ganstas run away from.
