I'd vote for this: Next year we pick whoever finished highest in the standings, and make them the third team.

Oops. Fixing first post.

He got the complete game, but walked off a loser as Ryan Zimmerman knocked a two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth to win in Washington. Zimmerman has now defeated two New York teams with late inning home runs. Was his the one that tied the game off Wagner in the ninth?

No game Thursday. I don't think interleague does four-game series.

Paul Wilson hoping for yet another comeback? Where's Pulse these days?

Personally, I'll take a Yankee sweep every time they face a non-Met NL East team. "I hate the Yankees so I want my divisional rivals to win" smells bad. My response is, "Stop caring about the Yankees so much."

Who do you want to win the upcoming 3 game series between the Phillies and the Yankees? We have a huge lead. But the Yankees aren't in our division so who really cares how they do? 'Course some people hate the Yankees more than others. Edit: Typo

I'll go with what SI Metman said.

Translation: Yes, my crystal ball told me.

Your crystal ball told you this?

This is a perfectly sound choice to let a good pitcher who has been pitching poorly get a low-risk inning in which to get right. It's perfectly sound choice if and only if (iff) some of his high-risk innings over the next few days go to someone else to keep his arm healthy. Let's see if Willie does that.

Where can I get one of those?

Nice.

]the league's worst batting average with runners in scoring position (.237). Cherry-picker.

It's always the manager's fault.

ARod with the RBI double putting his team up by one in the eighth. He is so unclutch. Edit: I'm Fonzie, baby!!!!!

[u:2c2743fb94]Posterity:[/u:2c2743fb94] David Segui, a 15-year major league baseball player who last was on an MLB roster in 2004, says he's one of the players whose names were redacted in the IRS affidavit that said Jason Grimsley received two kits of human growth hormone on April 19. In the affidavit, Grimsley told IRS investigators that a player "told him of a doctor in Florida that he was using at a wellness center to obtain human growth hormone ... the player told him, "If you are going to do this, you should do it right." Segui told ESPN's Jeremy Schaap in an interview Saturday that he is that player, but said he was under a doctor's prescription at the time. "It was almost word for word the conversation we had, except there's a couple of key words left out," Segui told Schaap. "You know, 'legal' was one of the major -- probably the most major omission in the affidavit ... I was, you know, deemed human growth hormone deficient through blood work ... the doctor put me on human growth hormone, monitored my levels, monitored blood level, blood work periodically, regularly. "... It was perfectly legal," Segui said. "You know, I was under doctor's prescription." Segui played for seven teams during his career. Baseball has banned HGH and toughened its testing for other steroids, but there is no reliable test for HGH. Segui showed ESPN a prescription for HGH from 2003, and said he continues to take HGH today. He said Grimsley came to him this past offseason, seeking advice about HGH, and how it might help him recover from Tommy John surgery. "I told him, I was speaking as a friend ... Do it under the doctor's supervision," Segui said. "And my exact words to him were, if you're going to do it, do it the right way." Segui said that eventually Grimsley got HGH from another source, not the doctor Segui suggested. Segui told ESPN he was using HGH while playing as late as 2004, when it was a prohibited substance -- though not tested for by baseball. He did not apply for a waiver because of his medical need. As for any player's chance of receiving an exemption for HGH, a baseball spokesman said "that would be difficult to imagine." In May, agents searched Grimsley's Arizona home following his admission he had used HGH, steroids and amphetamines. According to court documents, authorities tracked a package containing two "kits" of HGH -- about a season's worth -- that was delivered to Grimsley's house on April 19. He failed a baseball drug test in 2003, documents showed. Grimsley's attorney said federal agents asked Grimsley to wear a listening device to gather evidence against San Francisco Giants slugger Barry Bonds. "It was a specific effort to target Bonds," Edward Novak told The Arizona Republic. "We were told that Jason's cooperation was necessary to their case." Following the revelation that Grimsley's home had been raided, he asked for and was released by the Arizona Diamondbacks. He was later suspended for 50 games by Major League Baseball.

Nope. Let Heilman rest and put a back of the bullpen guy in.

Good looking out. I meant to put Bradford. No discussion in the game threads.

I read a Cornwell book once. Sorta liked it. Tried a second but failed. Haven't been back since.

="Willets Point"]="Elster88"]Just finished the most recent book in the A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin. Pretty good stuff. I still think I like the The Wheel of Time series better.My wife loves those books. She read them all and then read them all again over the past year.Which series?

Wright 5 Castro 2 Reyes 2 Sanchez 0.5 Bradford 0.5
