Well, it might be the Pirates, but only 28 short years ago they were running around winning the World Series.
Here is an interesting note on a pitcher that is often talked about acquiring. Matt Morris ERA has risen from 2.93 to 3.86 in his last 10 starts.
Hell stapler, it was ONLY 15 years ago that we scraped by them in the NLCS thanks to good ol’ Francisco Cabrera.
yeah.. Morris looked awful yesterday
Man, can we can it with the Morris talk already? I seriously doubt we’re getting him.
interesting LaRoche gag, i didn’t know he had it in him.

woodward playing first and in the lineup. ridiculous. hopefully, this is bobby’s way of saying thanks before he gets the boot.
Free Brayan Pena.
I just don’t understand why Woodward has a job. He’s a completely unproductive major league hitter… and it’s not like he’s a defensive specialist. Sunday lineups kill me.
2B Escobar
SS Renteria
3B C. Jones
CF A. Jones
RF Francoeur
LF Diaz
C Saltalamacchia
1B Woodward
P Carlyle
Adam, I agree. What’s the point of Bobby’s usual (give-up) Sunday lineup when the whole team has just had a week off?
Ouch! Not the kind of start that we needed….
I’ve given up on figuring out why Bobby thinks he has to start Chris Woodward. He didn’t think he had to start Pete Orr (this year, anyway). Extremely infuriating.
Damn it Chipper
Ahhh. I love Pittsburg
Wow the Pirates are bad.
Yeah–I would much rather see Thorman given the chance to get better. At least he has some power and he is not Chris Woodward….
haven’t given any thought to rookie of the year. I assume that Salty just hasn’t and won’t play enough to merit consideration, Yunel though?…
Hunter Pence will probably win rookie of the year.
Pence is absolutely raking. He’d have to mega-collapse for anyone else to sneak in there, except for maybe Hamilton and his comeback story.
is Chip calling Maholm “Mulholland” or is it just me??
The Mets are winning.
Chip: “Slowly but surely, Adam’s average rapidly climbing.”
*sigh*
dont count out ryan braun:
42 games .349 average 13 hr 36 rbi’s .399 obp 8 sb.
pence 66 games .336 avg 11 hr 43 rbi’s .361 obp 7 sb.
i’ll say it will be a very close race.
braun has virtually put up the same #s as pence with 120 less ab’s.
He’s pronouncing the name correctly, Davey. It sounds like “Mahollum”.
Wow I didn’t realize Braun had come on that strong.
I’ll say it yet again…. Edgar is a joy to watch at the plate. What a hitter.
Did I miss something? What was with the Charlize Theron joke?
They were harping on Renteria’s supposed inability to get runners home from third with less than two outs, then compared that criticism to complaining about Charlize Theron’s dress at the Academy Awards.
Or something.
It was yet another lame Chip Caray analogy comparing Edgar Renteria’s supposed poor ability to get a runner from third home with less than two outs to complaining about Charlize Theron’s dress at the Oscar’s. I hate Chip Caray so much.
nice synchronicity there.
You owe me a Coke.
Carlyle with 63 pitches through 6 innings on get away day for the Pirates.
Hahahaha, did you guys hear the thing about LaRoche’s suit?
what did they say?
Man, Buddy’s working pretty quick, and doing great.
He might finish the game at this rate.
smoltz’s buddy carlyle disguise is pretty damn convincing
Mets lead 5-1 in the 5th.
Eh..Ichiro resigned Joe.
Can you imagine if someone like Bonds said he wouldn’t return to SF last year if a new manager wasn’t brought in? I’d be a huge media story. Somehow Ichiro gets away with it…
next year*
“Would he move a Dan Haren?” Shut up, Chip.
WHY would he move Dan Haren Chip… Why why why…
CHIPPER!
CG for Buddy? Will Bobby give him the chance with the pitchers spot then top of the order. I hope so.
guess not. Nother good start from Buddy though, we’ll take that.
The LaRoche thing was said on the radio. Apparently he messed with some of the Braves’ luggage a while back, so the joke they are supposedly pulling on him is they took his suit, soaked it in water, and then hung it in a freezer. They’re hanging it back in his locker during the 9th inning.
And damnit all. Why not let Buddy try to finish this out.
My God, Chip, that’s awful.
Ballgame!
Nice Willie!
I’ll go ahead and record my disagreement with using Wickman here. (B)rest is not just a city in Belarus, France, and Germany.
A nice win for the Braves–Carlyle is beginning t look like the real deal….
Mets still lead 5-2 in the 7th.
Sweep! Bring on the Reds.
