Hamels sucks
Lee is pitching out of his ass again

 

[VC15]

thats why the NL won last year

You make it sound like every team in the NL won the WS last year.

 

[elcheato]

Lee is the 2nd best pitcher in the NL behind Haren.

Good thing that the games are played on the field and not on paper then.

Lince is better, cmon
even i'll admit

Bold prediction of 2010:

Jake Westbrook wins the Cy Young and is traded in 2011 because the MLB is a joke when it comes to salary.

Just realized I went to Lee's final start in in Progressive field.

Dodgers/Cards craziest game ever!!!!

Manny had a webgem catch
Kershaw and Piniero were killer(especially Kershaw)
Dodgers blow 2 saves
plays at the plate
Thurston missed 1st base right now and was called out after 2 appeals!!!!!

Shutting out team firesale is a big accomplishment.

Shutting out team firesale is a big accomplishment.

12-2 record, 2.14 ERA for the best in the NL isn't a bad accomplishment

Scouting Report:
Giants: Barry Zito finished one out shy of notching his third straight quality start Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The veteran lefty allowed one earned run over 5 2/3 innings before giving way to the Giants 'pen. While his 4.54 ERA could come down a bit, Zito has also managed to get by while receiving zero runs of support in seven of his 21 starts this season. Zito didn't face the Phillies last season but holds a 2-1 record and 3.50 ERA against Philadelphia all-time.

That ERA should be about 2 runs lower considering how much he makes. Kind of sad that you have to get excited and point out an era above 4.5 :]

 

[Lake Louise]

Verlander was AMAZING tonight!! 13 K`s, ties his career high. Was hoping he would get 14 to break it, but he will have other chances at it. It was nice to finish the series on a high note, but now we have a day off tomorrow

I didn't get excited. I'm just putting that out there that his W/L is overrated

BTW, Tim Wakefield O.O

 

[Mexi]

cards win in 15th
kershaw pitched his heart out
4 straight L's?

[.GR]

Brett Anderson gets the win against Boston! 2 straight wins against the Sox.

 

[Mexi]
