Meatball down the middle gets Glaus looking.

[mlarner]

Eyre looked very effective again tonight for the Phils

[Hall7810]

Troy Glaus sure likes to complain.

Thanks to the Mariners loss earlier today, Seattle is the first team officially eliminated from a division championship.

It's kinda weird...they are the first team without a mathematical chance to win their division, but the Washington Nationals could be the first ones eliminated completely from playoff contention. Right now they stand 1 game from WC elimination, and 5 from NL East elimination (with both them and the Phils currently playing now) Seattle's number for the WC is 4.

 

It'll be close to see who gets eliminated completely first. :lol:

 

"You'll have to ask him.....He'll have a stupid answer for you, you can count on it,'' Bavasi said. "He'll have some dumbass answer.''

 

Probably my most treasured comment of the year. If there is one thing to remember about the Mariners this season, it's Bill Bavasi's parting shots.

[Rob]

The Cards are pissing away their wild card shot.

[17 Seconds]

Gameday is really pissing me off this season. Actually, all of mlb.com is. Terrible.

[bcruise]

I don't think that was intentional. At all. No reason for the ump to go out there.

[17 Seconds]

And now DUI puts the hit on Braun

[mlarner]

Braun gets plunked

[Outshined_One]

Al Hrabosky wants every AB to end in a HBP, apparently.

[17 Seconds]

I don't think that was intentional. At all. No reason for the ump to go out there.

 

It didn't look intentional but I can't believe it took them this long to hit Braun, after what happened in the last game of that 4 game set.

[Hall7810]

The Brewers' guys think it's because of the "untuck shirt" thing.

[Outshined_One]

Other teams suck at hit and runs, too!?

[Laura]

Al Hrabosky wants every AB to end in a HBP, apparently.

 

Finally, something to root for! :P

[bcruise]

Nice hit and run.

 

DP, inning over. :D

[Outshined_One]

Underrated thing about the Cubs' broadcasts:

 

No roving reporters. The Cards' broadcast is currently dedicating a lot of time to interviewing the St. Louis Blues' President/GM/Whatever.

[Outshined_One]

Remember when the Cardinals were considered a sound defensive team?

[Choonch]

The Cardinals are really pissing me off.

[Mizzou]

Mizzou is showing games on PPV?

 

Ouch.

What?

[Outshined_One]

Mizzou is showing games on PPV?

 

Ouch.

What?

 

FSNMW was advertising this thing about Mizzou games being on PPV on September 6th and 13th. I didn't catch all of it.

 

More Info

[Billy_Buck]

Yeah, the Yankees' sighs of relief when Manny was traded were well justified.

[CubsBears29]

Mets are in the midst of a huge inning vs Lidge. Just ended, but NYM scored 4 to take the 6-3 lead in the 8th in Philly.

 

If you believe in the superstition of "opponent lost in a tough way before playing them" is bad, then welp........

[CubsBears29]

Hey hey! Won't be a shutout.

 

Ludwick does yard work. 3-1 MIL

[bcruise]

Ludwick homers, 3-1 Crew.

[kujay]

Ludwick left the park. 3-1.
