The 2009 Baseball Season Thread

[Article 15]

And that Cliff Lee deal is looking damn good for Philly right now.

Dude's on fire.

 

[Xenophon]

I think everybody is kicking themselves that they didn't go for Lee.

On the other hand, Halladay has been beaten up by both NY and Boston since then.

I was totally thinking the same thing, buddy.

- Like Halladay he's signed thru next season but with a smaller contract.

- The Indians were practically giving him away

- Right now Lee outperforming Halladay

I think a lot of teams have seen his shaky past and fear the bottom dropping out. But after almost two straight seasons of success it's starting to look like Lee is in fact a pitcher reborn.

Another woeful Tigers batting performance as they fall 3-1 to the Mariners.

Look!

A baseball matrix!

Shogun is "The One".

"woa.. I know kung fu"

 

[Truthspeaker]

If most teams could have done the pitching job agains the Mets that the Giants did, they would all sweep the mets. But not the giants.

You do know the Mets suck, right?

That they only have 2 guys in double figures with HRs, and both have only 10?

that's the point I was making. The mets suck so that's why the Giants should have swept them. If any other team pitched as well as the Giants did in that series they would have swept the mets because other teams offenses are so much better than the Giants.


See last night. The Giants won 1-0. I'll take it but Barry Zito was robbed of a win by his own offense.

He's not on fire, he's just good like that all the time.

Lee is the truth

 

[tigerbob]

Tigs with a walk off win to edge the series against the M's.

West Coast swing starts tomorrow. That's gonna mean some late nights on the Tigers message board.

Who would you rather have? I take Cain.

Why take him when you'd just trade him?

 

[Truthspeaker]

Assuming I have a major league offense I would never trade Cain. See tonight. He pitches 8 innings and gives up 1 run and the Giants still couldn't get him a win. We had to squeak one out in the 10th to win 2-1....Again.

According to his record, he's getting you a more than adequate amount of wins. I don't know how many ND's he has, but you're not going to get 8 runs every time your ace steps on the mound. I watched plenty of games where Cole Hamels got NOTHING.

 

[Xenophon]

NY up 6-1 in the third, not looking good for beantown...

 

[Xenophon]

NY pounds the sox 20-11 for their fifth straight off the sox and move to 7 1/2 in front.

Texas falls to the Rays so Boston is still 1 game up in the WC.

 

[Xenophon]

Boston returns the favor and pounds NY 14-1 to move back to 6 1/2 games.

 

[Xenophon]

NY hammers Berkett to the tune of 5 HR as CC wins easily, 8-4.

NY takes 2 of 3 at fenway and moves 7 1/2 ahead of Boston, who also lost a game to Texas and lead the WC by 1.

stick a fork in 'em, only chance now is the wild card.
ah, well, it's almost labor day; i can remember when they wouldn't keep us in it past mother's day

 

[Truthspeaker]

Well my point has been made again. Pitching wins, except when you have the Giants offense. They keep losing to the rockies, even when Tim Lincecum is on the mound.

Our pitchers can't just throw well, they have to throw shutouts to win. The ROCKIES are beating us.
