Mets losing 5-2 now to the Rockies. Cant wait to get laughed at by my friend whose a Rockies fan, lol.

Giambi, clutch for the Rox tonight! <3

Anyone notice that B&reg;ad Penny and John Smoltz stunk up the Roidsux and are now looking like stars in the much weaker NL?

 

[cruzg24]

Yea I hope we dont get swept in the World Series or else that would be embarassing.

 

[Pugz]

I can't say much about the game today, 5 errors, 3 by Peralta which cost us the game :headsmack:

Yea, I turned it on and FSN was showing them in XMo lol. Looked grrrrrrrrrrreat.

Tigers won 4-2, but not only that, White Sox beat the Twins 4-2 earlier that day, so we gained on the Twins. Now up 4.5.

I actually watched the 9th when the White Sox scored all those runs. I was saying "It`d be soo funny if the White Sox hit homers and tied it up" Which they did, at the time.

FIXED

Your league can have the All Star Game every year but I'll take the series that matters most anyday

Brad Penny had a good ass game I can't believe it

The World series doesn't show what League is better, it only shows which league had the best team the previous year. It's quite obvious the AL is better.

I knew you were gonna interject n00b

We've had that conversation before

I know the AL is better, just saying an NL team is the current champ

Only one team is the current champ, not the entire NL like you think.

Grandy, lead off long ball!

 

[Pugz]

lol, Carlos Gullien is wearing the new MLB helmet, they are sooooooo weird looking.

Interesting to see some of the best closers in the league and how cheap they can be. You dont need an expensive closer as you can see.

 

[Gtown81]

they'll all get big paydays sooner or later though

 

[cruzg24]

Yes, but for now they are amazing bargains for what they produce.

 

[Gtown81]

yeah that's true, Aardsma for sure, only 419k and he's top 5 in the league in saves

 

[Pugz]

Fernando Rodney <_<

55 K, 2-3, 31/32 Saves, 3.17 ERA, $2,700,000

Not too shabby considering no one expected him to do so good.

 

[cruzg24]

Rodney has the electric stuff, just not the correct mentality. He puts too many people on base for my liking. Its like every time he is on he has a man on 1st and 2nd.

Yea tell me about it, Todd Jones version 2.0, he's been great though.

Tigers just broke it open, Clete scores two on a triple.

3-0 in the bottom of the 7th, 1 out.
