Jesus H. Christ. Madson just surrendered a walk off grand slam. That is what happens when you use your closer 3 days in a row. 38 pitches tonight alone.

Does anyone want to win the NL West?

How about dem Phillies? First team in the majors this year to record 50, 60, 70, and now 80 wins. If they play.500 ball the rest of the way they will get 100 wins. They also had their 200th straight sell out last night.

from Facebook this evening..... Bert Jansch (Official) Edinburgh show Sat 20th cancelled: Bert's Edinburgh show on Saturday 20th August has sadly had to be cancelled as Bert is unwell. Both he and his doctors were hoping he would be well enough in time to do the show, but unfortunately that has not been the case and he will be in hospital at least until next week. Bert is desperately disappointed to miss the show, and apologises profusely to all the fans and those who were hoping to see him. Hopefully see you next time!

Well, if they keep playing, very true! two very nice stories on a very nice guy.... http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/page/rumblings110816/jim-thome-truly-real-caring-person http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/6847957/road-600-home-runs-memorable-one-jim-thome Love Thome. My only regret about the 2008 championship was that he wasn't there to be a part of it. I think Thome gets in HOF first ballot. He's only the 8th(okay 5th non steroid) player to get 600 home runs. That's out of 17,000+ men to play in the MLB. I haven't been able to find the video but the night that he hit #600 Thome went on and on about Charlie Manuel and how he owed his whole career to him. It was amazing.

Hey! We are rivals! Aren't we supposed to hate each other's teams??? It's funny, but never hated the Phils, like watching them play(Just not against the braves) used to hate the Mets(Mainly their online fans) but heck, I like the way they play these days... So...who should be the NL ROY??? Freeman? 16 HR's 60 RBI's, .295 BA, .360 OBP, all the while playing as good a 1st base defense as you will see, all at the age of 21....or Craig Kimbrel, with 36 saves, 1.81 ERA, and 94 K's in 59 innings??? Always liked the Braves. I miss not getting their games on TBS anymore. Though I do like to razz their fans about not showing up for playoff games, etc. RE: ROY. I think it's gotta be Freeman. Kimbrel has been spectacular but Freeman is an everyday player. And that game winning hit he had over the Giants this week sealed the deal me thinks.

Eli - In the same class as Brady? HAHA.

Dang a disappointing loss for Halladay and the Phillies tonight and another exciting win by the Braves over the Giants. Maybe they NL East isn't over after all.

Thanks for posting this.

Rangers to honor Stone's memory "Our hope is that this statue will not be a symbol of our family tragedy but rather a reminder of the importance of a family's love -- love of each other, love of spending time together, and love of the game." The Rangers have announced plans to extend the height of all the rails at the ballpark to 42 inches, an increase of as much as 12 inches in certain areas. The club is currently working with engineers on the design phase and hope to begin to implement the new rails either before this season is over or during the offseason. :tup Wish the Phillies(and the rest of the MLB) would do something similar before another fall occurs

The following was just posted to the CT Research group... "We are informed that both the Cecil Taylor Museum and the benefit concert for the Museum have been cancelled." ????

Check out this triple play that the Brewers turned tonight.

WOW!! WHAT A COMEBACK BY THE BRAVES!! Freddie Freeman! Congrats to Jim Thome on joining the 600 homer club.

Larry Fitzgerald a FA after this season??? Oh please, oh please, oh please!

Oh yeah. And a close second for me is Coffee Heath Bar Crunch.

Damn. Watched the first three innings of the Braves/Giants game and the Braves were leading 2-zip and Hudson was dealing. Now I come back and it's 4-2 Giants. WTF? Javier Lopez of the Giants is just nasty on lefties.

Over.

33 games.

Zambrano leaves Cubs

You have a legit gripe there. I had to check the box score to find out. And how about Zambrano giving up 5 home runs(2 by Uggla!) in 4.1 innings?! Holy cow.

Found the answer... Uggla has batted .355 (44-for-124) with 12 homers and a .685 slugging percentage during this streak, and he has seen his batting average rise from .173 to .224, which stands as his highest mark of the season. http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20110810&content_id=23035488&vkey=news_mlb&c_id=mlb

What's his batting avg. since the streak began?

Thanks for the article.

Exactly Alan. If the Giants didn't think Rollins should be running w/ a 6 run lead in the top of the 6th then why were they holding him on??
