HolyStitt Posted September 26, 2006 Report Posted September 26, 2006 La Velle E. Neal, of the Star Tribune, says the Twins expect tonight to be Santana's last start of the season, with Johan skipping Sunday to start Game 1 of the division series. Quote

Quincy Posted September 27, 2006 Report Posted September 27, 2006 More on Radke...Chris Carpenter has come back from a torn Labrum. I know he is younger, but 33 is too young to give up, IMHO... It is, but according to the salary sheet at baseball-reference he's made at least 52.8 million over his career before agents & taxes. He's married and has a couple of kids who will 8 and 12 next season. I could see spending a year at home with the family and trying to get over the physical pain. Cause right now the kids are at the age where they're fun, but in another couple of the years the oldest won't want him around. Teams are always after pitching, so he'll still get calls. If the pain goes away and he feels the competitive urge he could come back. Quote

BERIGAN Posted September 27, 2006 Report Posted September 27, 2006 (edited) I would LOVE to see the Houston win the Central. Oh yeah, I saw this happening!

BERIGAN Posted September 27, 2006 Report Posted September 27, 2006 Phils blow another game. Groan. Did they?? I just saw the highlights of the game, looks like Ultey hit a 3 run homer, hitting a ball off the fair/foul pole, but it was called a foul ball. Would hate to see a team bounced from the playoffs on a play like that. Quote

Would hate to see a team bounced from the playoffs on a play like that. Yep, seems to be the latest thing...denying the Phils homers (like Howard's one in the Crawford boxes in Houston that the kid deflected). This one tonight really hurt! From the Phils dugout angle they probably couldn't see this one anyway, hence no argument, or request for a 2nd opinion. Quote
Dan Gould Posted September 27, 2006 Author Report Posted September 27, 2006 Hey New York Fans: Gettin a little worried about the pitching staff(s) yet? Pedro looks very iffy for you Mets fans (I gotta say, that four year contract for Pedro hasn't looked like a good investment this year, and this is only the second year) and Yanks fans have to be concerned about RJ's back acting up.

Soulstation1 Posted September 27, 2006 Report Posted September 27, 2006 anyone up for a baseball post season pool for fun? Quote

Oh boy, you Met fans gotta be shitting bricks after Pedro's start tonite. What a disaster. At this point I don't see how you can risk starting him in the first game. Quote
Dave James Posted September 28, 2006 Report Posted September 28, 2006 (edited) Dan, You know I have to say this. The Yankees have to be worried about Mussina's hand and The Unit's back. The Red Sox only have to worry about making a tee time. Up over and out. Edited September 28, 2006 by Dave James Quote
tatifan Posted September 28, 2006 Report Posted September 28, 2006 What a crazy night between the Phils and Nats....kind of a "I can play worse than you" challenge going on! Somebody had to win, I guess, and I'm glad the Phils did. I was flipping to the Astros craziness of their own just for kicks. Look out Cardinals! The drama is unreal this week for NL fans! Quote

I don't know how much more of this I can take. They need to bench Burrell for the rest of the season. He should only be batting against left handers. Quote

I just can't get over the Cards collapsing like they have. At this point they don't deserve to get in, IMO. Cards have no pitching, LaRussa was badmouthing Edmonds for not playing sooner(He has post-concussion syndrome), just a bad scene. Quote

If the pain goes away and he feels the competitive urge he could come back. Radke did pretty good for the 4 or 5 innings he pitched. I still don't know if I would invest in having him start, but he might be useful out of the bullpen to eat up some innings if one of the young kids has trouble with their start in the playoffs.

HolyStitt Posted September 29, 2006 Report Posted September 29, 2006 These Twins are something. One out left in the game, the Royals are ahead 1-0. Mauer hits a solo home run and the Twins go on to win the game in 10th inning. At the moment, the Twins are tied for first place with Detroit. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted September 29, 2006 Report Posted September 29, 2006 (edited) Anyone know a easy and simple way for a Post Season BB pool? Edited September 29, 2006 by Soulstation1 Quote
MartyJazz Posted September 29, 2006 Report Posted September 29, 2006 Pedro's out for the post season with a bum left calf. Mets will have a rough post season but should still make the WS considering the competition in the NL. In the meantime, anyone catch Daniel Cabrera's gem against the Yanks tonight? He was terrific, not allowing a hit until one out in the ninth (Cano got it). He probably would have had the no-no had his fielders not forsaken him in the 7th, committing two errors compounded by two passed balls allowing the Yanks to score an unearned run. Never heard of Cabrera before but it was obvious that his stuff was electric tonight. He made Giambi, Melki Cabrera and others look very bad striking them out on nasty sliders in the dirt. Quote
Chalupa Posted September 29, 2006 Report Posted September 29, 2006 Not looking too good for the Phillies Quote
Big Al Posted September 29, 2006 Report Posted September 29, 2006 GO ASTROS!!! Wouldn't it be something if last year's World Series loser made it to the playoffs, while last year's World Series champs didn't? At least there's a chance of a Texas team in the playoffs. Unlike a certain other unnamed team from Texas...... Quote
