    I remember those drawings from when they were done as part of a NY Daily News promotion. Bruce Stark was the artist and you got a new one each week w/the Sunday paper.

    6-4 is your final. That's two bad nights in a row for the previously stingy Philly bullpen.

    They load the bases and THEN the Sox bring in Papelbon

    If MSNBC had been just a little more sloppy while writing that report they would have announced it as a straight-up Maine for Pavano trade.

    Well I initially mentioned MLB only in noting that these were NOT just MLB HRs - that they included those leagues prior to the 1901 two-league set-up - and in wondering if Bud would make a kind of contest out of this (like they did with the 1,000,000th run deal a bunch of years back) when MLB-only HRs reaches the 250K mark in a couple of years. After that a discussion ensued as to what leagues MLB considered to be major leagues.

    Everyone knows the only award that really means anything anyway is the year-end CPF ranking list.

    ="Benjamin Grimm"]I so want them to be mathematically eliminated by the time they play that final game at Yankee Stadium 2. Or, better still, nathematically eliminated ON the final day at YSII

    No, this is not another post about the Mets' pen. It's about the fact that baseball history is nearing the 250,000 mark in HRs hit - or at least that's the story and they're sticking to it. "These totals include regular-season home runs hit in the National (1876-now) and American Leagues (1901-now), Federal League (1914 and 1915), Players League (1890), the American Association (1882-1891), and the Union Association (1884). " It's now within 300 with last night's blast included, and with the rate it's going it'll be about 10-12 days before 250K is reached. I remember MLB making the One Millionth run scored of all time into a big deal complete with a bonus for the player who scored it (Bob Watson IIRC). Bud probably won't do anything similar here since it looks like about 8-9,000 of them were from the pre-1901 era and not all official MLB HRs - although maybe it'll give him an idea for two years or so from now when only post-1900 HRs reaches that mark.

    The thing about ARod is that this season he actually is having a lousy clutch year despite good all around numbers. It's just funny listening to MFY fans yakking about it because: a) they think it's a permanent and untreatable condition since they believe 'clutchness' is supposed to be an acquired trait once one puts on the pinstripes they have such short memories that they can't seem to remember last year when he carried them on his back for most of the season c) they think it's their biggest problem

    ... for the Yanquis Bombed out in game 2 vs Boston in a series where their manager flat-out stated beforehand they needed to take at least 2 of 3. And while they can claim injuries, they played a team with no Lowell, no JD Drew, no Lugo (OK, that might be an advantage for the Sawx), no Beckett, and of course no Manny. All hopes for the division were essentially dead already. Tampa won again today and now the Yanx are 10.5 out. So it's WC or bust for them -- but where the math really gets tough is that they need to catch both Boston AND the loser of the Twins/ChiSox race. It's one thing to play well down the stretch while the team in front of you stumbles. But having to catch fire and have several teams fall apart starts to get problematic. Today's action puts them 7 and 4.5 games behind Boston & Minny (6.5 in back of Chicago)

I was thinking the same thing. 3 RHBs coming up - go to Ayala at the first sign of trouble but let Smith find that trouble first. And one-pitch/one-out as I type that.

    Wasted bunt IMO

    The little bit of talk radio I heard today still involved a fair amount of Heilman bashing. Heck, he was about the only one NOT to blame for Tuesday night.
  18. Frayed Knot
    I just might give Wright some beer for that play even though he's pretty much taken this series off otherwise. That was a stunner.

    Except that, in this case, they're not losing out on him (if they indeed do) because of a lack of funds or the willingness to spend it. They reached a deal, it's just that Boras thinks he sees an out and a road to a better one. On edit: Or I guess you're saying that [u:c629541ba5]if and when[/u:c629541ba5] it becomes an open-market situation that Pitt would be behind the eight-ball. In that case, yes.

    Hey, Feliciano got out a first batter. No really, it just happened. I saw it with my own eyes!
