it don't matter - the mets suck.

I feel your pain. Although, the Yankees have had horrible luck in the injury department this year. The starting pitching is atrocious, sans Wang.

fuckin melky seems to be hittin HRs every time i look...he's on the juice.

He has been a pleasant surprise this year. He is also batting in the one hole most of the year, which makes those HR's even better.

I hear ya. I just wish they could've won ANY of the 9 one run games they've been in thus far.

^^^relief pitching. they need some badly.

no shit. Anyone worth a shit has been hurt.

Smoltz moving to the pen should help.

it's a 2 edge sword moving smolz to the penn. good that you add a wicked arm down there, but bad because you take that arm out of the rotation. the question is....do the braves think they have enough pieces in place to make a move and grab a few pitchers for this season and make a run at it?

well, Hudson is good, Jurrjens has been a pleasant surprise, and Glavine is tolerable. I'm ok w/ that 1-2-3. If we can ever get some kind of use out of Mike Hampton we should be ok in that regard.

Yanks get 4 HR's today. About time the bats heat up.

Braves finally pull out a one run game. Coming back from being down 4-1 in the fifth, they pulled it out 5-4.

Chipper got a hit, but lowered his batting average to .419

I'm hoping Carlos Pena's bat gets hot again. He started the season well, then had a slight injury and hasn't hit well since. He said in the paper today he felt like he was pressing a little bit, so Joe Maddon sat him down last night and told him to just relax and have fun with the game. Hopefully, that works for him.

Someone needs to draft this kid....you can get him on the cheap right now....

eye on the ball, head down, rolls the wrist, nice follow thru


Sweet!





Good job Dad!

I like the Matrix-style revolving camera. If he can't hit it big, maybe you can be a cinematographer.

Rays hit three dingers last night. Just sayin'.

mets better find some bats this week!

Dammit to hell.

Braves are 14-4 at home...and if they can't come back from down 3 runs right now they will be 4-14 on the road, with the second leg of a double header this afternoon to give them a chance at 4-15. I've never seen such ineptness out of a (supposedly) good team.

I need my man J to hook me up with some Rays/Yanks tickets.

i might not be able to write this anymore this season, so i'll get it in now...

the Florida Marlins have the best record in the friggin majors! 23-14. woo-hoo!
