Posted: 4/26/2008 1:29:20 PM | The Tigers appear to be putting it together, and the Diamondbacks are still eating everybody up. Cardinals are still hanging in despite what many consider to be a questionable pitching staff. My boys have actually won a few this week and actually lead the Yanks by half a game, that is very unusual this late in April.

Posted: 4/27/2008 4:08:49 AM | | He's been nursing a sore hamstring, was in the line-up last night as the DH. Can't believe we took these last two games, we have rarely won games against Wakefield and the kid for Boston last night was awesome. | |

Here's hoping Beckett can break the Sox' 4 game, somewhat flu induced skid. To lose like that on your second to last hitter - tough. | |

Sadly, that was the most interesting part of the game. | |

Thanks there’s a few of us.

Utterly amazed, Rays fought for every bit of this series, great pitching on both sides it’s never easy with the Sawx.
And,Carlos Pena is only having a fraction of a year(1/100th!!!)as he did last year.
He’s been hurt still sore.
I think,Bartlett should leadoff,Langoria should bat second.
If anybody gets moved up it’s CC back to lead off with Upton batting second with the speed and steals. Bartlett’s BA is lower than Aki’s.
Wait! If it ain't broke,why fix it?
Exactly! Shush, now.
Gonna go watch the rest of the Tigers/Angels. Oh we oh, MAGGLIO!

Posted: 4/27/2008 7:44:32 PM | | Thanks for the info. I heard that his hamstring was tight and he sat a few games. It might be better if The Rays put him on the 15 day DL. and rest and rehab him. I am a big sports fan, I can watch any game, not just the ones the Phillies are in. I have the Angels Tigers on. Whats wrong with the Tigers? Clay Buchholz threw a no hitter last year on his 2nd start. I like your knowledge on baseball and music . | |

Posted: 4/28/2008 3:27:36 PM | I am sure if they feel he needs to be on the DL they will do it, he’s too key of a player to be taking chances. I’m still stunned by two sweeps in a row.
The Tigers had been coming back, they just can’t seem to get any consistency going right now.
Pretty soon, it’s time to go root against the Yanks. | |

Posted: 4/28/2008 7:31:28 PM | | I just want to add that it's time to fire Gibbons and JP already. He could have gotten SOMETHING for Frank Thomas. Also, I find it odd that his "mentor" was the one to scoop up Big Hurt. As far as Gibbons is concerned, this is a guy who thinks batting Matt Stairs at leadoff is a good idea (or at least he did several times last year). This 11-15 start is not acceptable. | |

Posted: 4/28/2008 9:10:32 PM | My plan didn't work, the Yankees won. Can't believe Posada is on the DL, he’s never been on the DL. ARod (btw, congrats to him on a second daughter) tweaked that quad again tonight and may not play tomorrow when they host the Tigers.
I agree about Thomas, I would think they could have gotten something for him. | |

Posted: 4/28/2008 9:42:10 PM | | I was thinking if Pena went on dl, he could rest and strengeth the quad and come back and produce the way he can. With sore legs you lose your power. I always root for the Yankees and Mets to lose/ | |

Posted: 4/29/2008 6:26:58 AM | It’s not unusual for players to work through a lesser injury. My initial guess as to why they haven’t been quick to place him on the DL is they already have quite a few there. The 15 day list counts against your 40 man roster and quite simply a team like this just doesn’t have the depth. It could mean even more changes and possibly they don’t want to leave someone unprotected off that 40 man roster. I haven’t actually read this to be the reason, but all I keep hearing as of now is that he isn’t going and just leads me to think either it isn’t serious enough or there is a behind the scenes roster/options issue. He is slated as of right now to DH, of course if Pena is relegated to the DH until he heals, Gomes as usual will be the odd man out. Gross has been doing well in RF and Hinske has been a gem so far.
Usually if it isn’t the Rays involved, I am neutral and just enjoy the games, but then again the rays have never held a position to worry about getting knocked out of this “late” in the season. Kruckie likes us so I guess we’ll get a few raves on ESPN from time to time.
What’s wrong with the Mets? Oh duh! Phllies/Mets same division, rivals, got it!!! LOL.
I wonder how long hell will be frozen over errr, I mean the Rays and O's at the top of AL East.

This was my main prediction for this year.
Actually, my exact prediction was, "Tampa Bay will win the wild card after exorcising the devil from their team name." | |

Posted: 5/11/2008 9:29:07 AM | | Okay, seriously.....can anybody even remotely tell me what was going through Ritchie Sexson's head the other night? It sure wasn't going to be a baseball...I honestly think he had his mind made up to charge, he closed his eyes, heard the pop of the mitt and then just charged. And then, after looking at the replay (you know he has had to have seen it and realized that he looked like a fool), he appealed the suspension? A real man would have called up Bob Watson and said "Bob, really, I probably need another 4 games added on to that for the shear stupidity of it all, plus a public apology to Kason Gabbard and the Texas fans, and buy everyone a hot dog and beer the next time Seattle is in Texas." But no, he appealed, blamed it on his son being in the hospital the night before (poor kid, think he'll be proud when he's older?), and that he realized that Texas would probably hit him because Hernandez was hitting Texas batters....dude, I think the Rangers would rather hit Bettancourt or somebody else hitting better than .209, don't you? You're a sure out....why give that up? Ah....good times. | |

Sorry about my mistakes last night………..Tired Red Sox and Yankees.
Well, I for one am flabbergasted that the Rays are still hanging in there Another sweep, my heavens! I knew the pitching was starting to come around, but in the past when we “seem” to have had a decent rotation they wouldn’t all be performing well at the same time. It’s been another good week. Pena’ s leg has been fine, so that was probably it just not serious enough to keep him out.
No sweat on the typos, we all muff it sometimes, I still understood what you wrote.
There are some teams when they play each other I never get tired of seeing because they are usually really good games, even the Sawx and Yanks.
Okay, seriously.....can anybody even remotely tell me what was going through Ritchie Sexson's head the other night?
I saw the clip, to me it didn’t look like the ball was really that close, perhaps something was going on before that in the game? As you mentioned other players getting hit, maybe. Cut ‘em some slack the M’s are in last and sometimes you need to pull a stunt to get your teammates fired up. Sexson, though is one guy I wouldn’t want to see running at me, the man is huge, ever been up close to him??? Too bad about his kid though. | |

Posted: 5/11/2008 9:10:14 PM | | The tracker that they have for pitches showed the pitch up at eye level, but it was dead center of the plate....so, no, I don't think that even called for a stunt. Plus the fact that Gabbard had to leave the game after the next batter...no reason whatsoever for that crap. What I would have liked to see was Franklyn German, the pitcher who came in for Gabbard, throw at Sexson....German is 6'8", 298 lbs......now, THAT would have been fun to see. | |

I had the pleasure, and the honor, of being the humble busdriver that drove the Carthage College Red Men to the tourney, and I sat in the stands with the parents of those young men that made the drive from Kenosha to Bloomington. I have to say, these guys could have easily rolled over and died early, as IWU had many advantages: their home field/fans/beds to sleep in, while the Carthage boys stayed the two nights at a local motel that was the absolute worst one I have ever stayed in (and I've stayed in a lot), including the nearly-rancid scrambled eggs they served for breakfast, the saggy beds, and the ant infestations...yet they gave IWU all they could want, and some they didn't. Wesleyan had to earn it; and that final 17-7 score isn't real indicative of how close thae final game actually was; the wheels came off the Red Men's cart in the bottom of the seventh, when IWU scored eight runs...by then, Carthage was on their last pitcher.
Carthage's season isn't over; although the story below doesn't mention it, they were invited to the NCAA regional as an at-large entry. IWU will be the #1 seed in that tourney, based on their CCIW championship.
What, does it always have to be about "Major" League Baseball?
BLOOMINGTON, Ill. -- A 17-7 win over Carthage in the final game of the 2008 College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) Baseball Tournament Saturday earned Illinois Wesleyan its first tournament title since 2005 and a trip to the NCAA Regional.
The Titans, winners of the CCIW regular season title with a 33-9 record (18-3 in conference), will make their second straight trip to NCAA Regional play while Saturday's win was their fourth tournament title in school history.
Carthage finished second in the conference standings during the regular season, going 17-4 against CCIW competition (35-8 overall).
Illinois Wesleyan advances to play in the Central Regional May 14-18, hosted by CCIW member Augustana.

Posted: 5/12/2008 5:09:34 PM | ^^^^Guess not, but I usually only get to see a few Seminole and Gators games a year. Other than that don’t watch much college sports.
What I would have liked to see was Franklyn German, the pitcher who came in for Gabbard, throw at Sexson....German is 6'8", 298 lbs......now, THAT would have been fun to see.
Yea, then he gets tossed for “intent”, not a good idea. Btw, what do you think of Hamilton?
Love to see youf Rays with the good young players they have.
Another sweep, they continue to blow me away, the uni’s are growing on me, still hate that damn sunburst, but playing over 500, hey, I’ll live. Hopefully they can keep it going against the Yanks.
I feel for Jays, losing Wells and another pitcher. | |
