[IU Hawks fan]

White Sox just pulled another triple play!

Number 3

How many guys on the Mets have to get hurt for the Nats to win the division?

Same amount as the nats had last year that gave the mets the division

 

[robert terwilliger]

all the mets have to do to pull away is acquire another outfielder to hit .400/.500./900 over the last six weeks of the season.

 

[hockeykicker]

Let's not forget; the nats had span, werth, Zimmerman and rendon miss basically the whole year. Not once did they use their full lineup. That's a year without their #1,#2, #4 and #5 batters all around Harper who hit #3

A many as Nats players last year.

Ouch Ramos just took a broken bat off his body

I hear Beltran is available.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Semien hits his 19th.

Yeah yeah, average and.obp, but he's made huge strides slugging and in the field.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Jesus this night is brutal.



Some good news at least.

 

[hockeykicker]

Velocity is way down

Jesus this night is brutal.

The baseball gods are definitely paying us back - with interest - for last year, and we didn't even win the WS last year

I just hope we're not looking back at Thor-Harvey-Matz in a decade the way we look back on Wood-Prior now.

Honestly, I don't want to hear about the Cubs being cursed anymore. As an almost 30 year old Met fan, we've been through a hell of a lot more than they have.

Shut. Him. Down.

 

[Hire Sather]

What a joke.

 

[hockeykicker]

Adam Rubin tweets that his fastball was clocked at 91 mph ( he was around 98mph all game)

Hmmm.

2 WS appearances since the turn of the millennium - including beating the Cubs to get to one of them.

Pretty sure Cubs fans would object to this statement.

 

[darko]

Josh Bell with his 1st career hit.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

EE homers to dead CF.

5-0 Jays.

 

[darko]

If you told me Braves were going to hit 3 HRs and score 8 runs of Sale I would've laughed at you.

 

[td_ice]

Bucs take the lead 6-4, chase the greatest pitcher ever out of the game in the 7th.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Cubs bullpen, ouf.

Remember when a certain poster proclaimed a few days ago that the Pirates quit because the Cubs 'broke' them? Good times.

We also have some of the most historic collapses in the history of the sport and have blown every opportunity to win it all. I'm just talking my lifetime. In the end if you don't win a world series it really doesn't matter that you got there.

And that the Blue Jays were his biggest disappointment.

I don't know if the Mets collapses even challenge what the Rangers have been through.

Markakis with 3 HR's in his last two games...clearly on PEDs.

They lost last night, but had won previous 7 games. Six of those were come from behind wins. Bullpen, which was a sore spot for them early in the season, recorded a league best (on the season so far), 34 consecutive scoreless innings during the last two weeks.


I think the number is 5 or maybe 6 starting pitchers that have made their MLB debut this season for the Bucs. If those young arms can stay up, and give the Pirates some much needed boost, I think they division is still within reach. If not the division, surely a WC spot.
