Dan Gould Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 This is no surprise - it happens every single year, fans vote for their favorites, not the most "deserving" player. Ibanez will be named as a reserve, he just won't get the starting nod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalupa Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 (edited) Jesus H. Christ! The Phillies had a 5-0 lead going into the top of the 9th and now thanks to a Ryan Howard error it's 5-2 and they just put in Lidge. Pass the Tums. Edit. Walked the first batter on 4 pitches!!!

Chalupa Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 He fanned Wes Helms for the final out!! Man, I can't take another Mitch Williams performance from Lidge. And it's only May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BERIGAN Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 J.H, Lidge has to be hurting, right???? Dan, you gonna take Frenchy off our hands???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Dan, you gonna take Frenchy off our hands???? That's even more insane than taking Nick Johnson's injury-plagued ass for four months in exchange for Manny Delcarmen. I mean, Theo decides that high OBP guys are who you want, and he'd seriously consider a hacker like that? The last time he did that was with Wily Mo Pena and he swore he'd never do it again (give up pitching for "projects with upside"). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Bedard keeps on pitching very well, won this afternoon's game against Oakland. Mariners are playing boring baseball right now though. Wonder when the trade rumors for Bedard will get starting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time he did that was with Wily Mo Pena and he swore he'd never do it again (give up pitching for "projects with upside"). Nick Johnson makes more sense...he walks a lot....he did play 131 games in 2005, and 147 in 2006. I was surprised to see he is only 30, I would have guessed 35. Frenchy would have to go to AAA for a month or so and learn to take pitches...not swing at anything with 2 strikes...Andruw has had some success relearning how to hit, and he's 7 years older than French toast. Terry Pendleton has messed up a lot of hitters it appears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave James Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Dice K served up four wild pitches in five frames tonight. Maybe he could give Rick Ankiel a call to see about playing some in the outfield. Yanks in first. Finally! Up over and out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Tied for first, and possibly not for long - Sox up 3-1 in the eighth, trying to get out of Minnesota with a split. Two major plusses of this game are Beckett, who allowed three hits and one run in seven innings, for his second straight dominant start, and Varitek who had another two homer game. Would anyone guess that on the last weekend of May, Varitek would have ten times as many homers as Ortiz? I gotta check out the highlights on ESPN or MLB, as something pretty unique happened in this one: Both starting catchers and both managers got tossed.

Dan Gould Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 And its a final in Minnesota - 3-1 Sox, the Yankees are in second place by 1/2 a game. Now the Sox travel to Toronto while the Yanks visit Cleveland. Cleveland's been playing better lately so there's some hope they'll slow the Yankees down. Toronto has stunk, which concerns me because the law of averages suggests they'll start winning soon, and 9 straight is a streak that's more likely to end than to go to 12 straight. Fun fact for the Sox: back-to-back weeks with a series against the Jays and they actually manage to miss Doc Holliday. That's a fortunate thing.

papsrus Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Make that 17 straight vs TB Won 2-1 today The Rays are in a funk, no doubt. They were almost set to get a few games over .500 for pretty much the first time this year before the mighty Indians smacked 'em down. As Dan says, here's hoping the Tribe streak continues.

Tim McG Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Randy Johnson, meanwhile, inches ever closer to 300. Nice pitching performnance last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincy Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 (edited) Randy Johnson, meanwhile, inches ever closer to 300. Nice pitching performnance last night. He goes for 300 against the Senators in DC. Probably been awhile if ever for a 300th win to be won in that city (he states without checking...) *edit to add - May 14, 1920 Walter Johnson beat the Tigers for #300 in DC. He also won his 400th (May 2, 1926) at Griffith Stadium, DC vs. the A's. It's been awhile, good luck Big Unit.

BERIGAN Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 The Braves have the worst outfield(offensively) in baseball, but they faced Jon Garland, who is really lucky to still be in the big leagues. Hey Dan, the dangerous Jeff Francoeur got two rbi's last night....hope there was a Sox scout in attendance. Trust me, he's really good, Andruw Jones in 2008 good, you gotta get him!!!
