NSW FTW!

pssst... the quote button is at the bottom of the post, not the top. good job slugger.

yes, well... when your team averages a run per game for you when you start that tends to be a bit of an issue.

sabathia will help the brewers... and if sheets can stay healthy the entire year they might just be the best team in the NL Central. but that's a big if.

Congrats, NSW! Enjoy the game and hopefully the AL wins again!

i hate the phillies and all but you can't help to love chase utley. everyone knows about the hitting... but he just made a play that will never go in the box score, but it saved a run from scoring, at least temporarily. endy chavez lays down a great bunt down the third base line... feliz fields it, throws off line to howard at first... utley is standing right there on the line to back him up... such an easy play but one that most 2nd baseman probably over look.

^
correction on one thing... feliz isn't playing. it was greg "don't call me lou" dobbs who made the throwing error, and he just let a little dribbler from pedro go through his legs to let a run score.

8-0 muts in the third.

[Headache in a Suitcase]

they did their best to give it back, but the muts held on 10-9.

just like that, the mets take 3 of 4 in philly, are back over .500, sit just 2.5 out of first, and order is almost restored in the NL East.

in all seriousness... i'm sold that if i worked on my lefty slider for about, eh, a month, that i could strike out ryan howard.

you could put a pitching machine out on the mound that throws nothing but lefty sliders, and he knew full well that the lefty slider was coming, and he'd still strike out.

Can he stay healty?

if he can stay healthy the cubs just trumped the brewers

[Dalton]

Yeah. He's a good pitcher, but he's been on the DL 6 times in 6 years. He's already been on it for a month this year. Yikes.

I wonder how long it will be until he is throwing simulated games for the Cubs? I hope Rothschild still has his towel handy.

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i should have added that it's a very big if. he'll be hurt again... but then again, does anyone think ben sheets is gonna last the rest of the year in milwaukee without getting hurt? i don't.


psst... guess who's 6 outs away from being 1.5 games out of first place.

The Phillies got shut down by Joel Piñata? Good lord.
