Benchwarmerjim Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 QUOTE (Gregory Pratt @ May 20, 2008 -> 12:33 PM) Josh Hamilton for MVP! I guess during batting practice yesterday at the Dome, he hit a ball way out in right field, and hit the Division Championship banner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 So Pujols hits a liner off of Chris Young, and he has to leave the game. Then, on a play at the plate, he slides in hard to Josh Bard, and Bard probably tore his knee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Edinson Vólquez is a f***ing stud. He's got nine k's through four innings tonight. ERA is down to 1.23. I don't think I've ever seen a trade that benefited both teams to this level as the one pulled off by the Reds/Rangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 (edited) Best part about that game? It's currently in a rain delay. In San Diego!!!

Jordan4life_2007 Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I knew somebody was going to make a Pods Joke. But for real, they figured to be one of the more explosive offenses in the game (I obviously thought so. I drafted three of them in my Soxtalk fantasy league).

Like maybe bad enough that the only above average teams are the cubs, dbacks, braves and phillies (i suppose maybe the mets)....i really think the cardinals, astros, marlins, and dodgers records are a product of the rest of the league being horrendous.... even assuming those teams are average (which i dont believe....kyle lohse? todd wellemeyer?? braden looper????) that still leaves SEVEN, YES COUNT THEM, SEVEN, terrible teams....nationals, reds, pirates, brewers (zero pitching, overrated offense), giants, rockies, padres in the AL the worst teams are seattle royals and tigers....and you can bet that i think the tigers are a better team than those bottom seven teams, and i even think they are better than the dodgers and marlins... i know the AL was only 22-19 in interleague last weekend, but i really think the AL will stretch it out by the end of the year end rant..........for now Edited May 24, 2008 by daa84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four runs is basically an explosion for them. No research, but I'm pretty sure the "make it to the world series, lose, and then suck" routine has been done before. And not that it means anything, but in my picks only the Giants ended up with a worse record in the NL West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know about that, Volquez still has control issues at some point this season he can very easily explode. Hamilton on the otherhand is going to be a beast at the plate as long as he stays healthy, he might just be the most talented player in the majors right now.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Anybody catch Randy Johnson today? 10 K's in 6 innings against a pretty good Atlanta lineup. He's now 5-1 with an ERA slightly over 4. He seems to be getting better with each start. If that back holds up, combined with the crap that is the NL, Arizona has a potentially devestating 1-2-3 at the top of their rotation. Good luck with that trio in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benchwarmerjim Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 the Padres just played an 18 inning game. Those folks should really learn how to win or lose before the 10th. Aaron Harrang pitced 4 inning of relief and struck out 9! Edinson Volquez came in and pitched the rest of the way for the Reds. Adrian Gonzalez hit a 3 run blast in the 18t after the Reds 1st baseman bobbled a grounder with 2 out. Some pitcher named Banks for the Padres pitched 5 innings of relief. crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
