If Ozzie is serious when he says that he's competing for a job next year, he's even dumber that I imagined.

This isn't me b****ing, but I hope to god there's no chance that Grilli is in the rotation next year. The guy has no command on his pitches at all. The last thing the Sox need is another Contreras on their staff where they walk 2 batters and give up the 3 run homer.

Well, the immature asshole, Carlos Zambrano, just drilled Chipper Jones in the hand/finger. It doesn't look too good for Chipper. Cubs are up 6-2 after the Braves pulled their starting pitcher. It would be great for my blood pressure if the Giants or Astros can win tonight.

I really, really hope we're not jinxing ourselves here. The Cubs are not officially eliminated yet, and it's not unheard of for two teams (Giants and Astros) to lose 2 straight games. If the Cubs were to win their next 2 games, they still have an outside chance. I'll breathe much easier knowing that they're officially out of it.

I didn't think that Ben Davis is considered a good defensive catcher. There's a severe lack of available options behind the plate.

I'll feel alot better when I know that they're eliminated from making the playoffs. I have a bad feeling that they still have a very good chance at making at least a play-in game.

YES!!!!! Great job Valentin. 2-1 on a double.

Guy on 3rd, 2 outs....oh for a wild pitch!

Nice 1-1 strike call on Bragg also.

Bulls*** called 3rd on Kearns. The ump hadnt been calling that pitch all day.

What I meant by saying he doesnt swing is that he had the most half-assed swings I've seen by a non-pitcher in some time. He acts completely disinterested when he's playing, and then b****es when he's not.

If Barry Larkin were to sign with the Sox, I would never go to a game again. He doesn't even swing. Someone needs to retire!

Wish I could say he was safe, but he was barely out. Walker got off a very weak throw on that ball to make it closer than it should have been.

BTW, I hate ex-Twins players. Mohr would not have thrown the guy out at home.

f*** the Giants. What a terrible defensive inning there by the Giants.

Giants are going to likely lose cause of terrible defense.

f*** yeah. Anyone else worried that Mabry's might have been gone?

Lidge is in

I hope Lidge is coming in, you can't take your chance against this part of the Cards lineup.

6-4 on a double by Berkman!

Roger Cedeno is so bad in the outfield. Hey, I'll take it thought!!!! Do they go with Lidge for 2 innings here?

2 outs, guy on 3rd for Bagwell

Come on Beltran, pretend you're facing a Chicago team!

Good job Ausmus...Lets get Beltran up with someone on here.

If Garner took out Clemens to save him for Sunday's game, that's incredibly foolish. You have to worry about winning this game, and let things work out afterwards. Who gives them the best chance to win this game: Clemens for one more inning or Qualls?
