yankee tears are so sweet, the other board I frequent they were the only ones cheering for the perfecto to be broken up, hell the Rays fans were rooting for the perfecto

 

I hope the A's can slip into the playoffs, even with their abysmal batting, they are awesome and when they are good it is Good For Baseball

Braden's mother died when he was in High School. He's been close to his grandmother and still lives with her. That this game happened on Mother's Day is a story straight out of Hollywood.

Absolutely. As someone said, watching Dallas hugging/crying with his grandmother after the game (once we found out what happen to the mother) was a great and touching moment.

In a humorous side note, I heard that the grandmother was overheard saying 'Stick it, A-Rod'.

Hahaha, I love this.

I thought you were kidding about this but I saw it for myself in an article. Wow.

[Schwarber Fan]

Dan Haren has 9 Ks through 3 vs. LA

[TruffleShuffle]

the major league leader in wins is... tyler clippard??? here are his numbers this year:

 

18 games, 7-1, 5 blown saves, 7 holds.

 

granted it's really fluky, but it's hard to fill up a stat sheet like that as a relief pitcher. almost every game he's pitched in he's had a win, loss, hold or blown save (obviously some of the decisions overlap with the blown saves)

[Terp]

Corey Patterson went yard today to (sort of) spark an Orioles five run rally in the 8th to win the game. It's incredible what bad shape the M's are in.

Cards swept by Houston at home...ouch thats bad

[J.R.]

Just five back!

[Friendly Confines]

Just five back!

 

That is absurd, we haven't been able to hit, field, or pitch at all and are only 5 back.

This division is an embarrassment.

[JonJayCutler]

Just five back!

 

Unbelievable. Thats the nice thing about baseball. You can be awful for weeks at a time and not have it end your season. If our bats come alive this summer and our pitching stays decent, we should have a chance for at least the WC. That is an enormous IF though. Not counting on the playoffs but stranger things have happened.

Oh and is Chris Carpenter quickly becoming the biggest bitch in baseball? Can he go 1 start without whining, crying, or bitching about something?

[Andy]

Jesus H, I just turned to ESPN2 after not following much sports today apart from Celts/Cavs to hear LaRussa bitching and crying AGAIN. Are you [expletive] serious?

[Cubswin11]

What did LaRussa and the Cards say/do?

[BCVM22]

What did LaRussa and the Cards say/do?

 

Per the AP recap by way of Yahoo!:

 

The Astros scored all four runs in the third, perhaps taking advantage of Chris Carpenter’s temper. Carpenter (4-1) and Carlos Lee had a staredown and then exchanged words after Lee popped out with two runners on base, leading to both benches and bullpens streaming on the field, although nothing got overheated.

 

Lee said he yelled in frustration but not at Carpenter, and noted that Carpenter had been vocal after Berkman’s RBI single the previous at-bat.

 

“I guess he’s allowed to yell and say anything he wants because when Lance got that hit he was screaming and yelling and saying all kinds of stuff,” Lee said. “He can get emotional and we can’t get emotional as hitters?”

 

Carpenter blamed Lee for the rabble-rousing.

 

“I guess it’s turned into we’re all supposed to be best friends in this game,” the pitcher said. “I said something, he said something. He kept coming at it. He’s the one that caused everyone to come out, not me.”

Basically Carlos Lee popped up a pitch he thought he should have crushed, was pissed, slammed his bat, and said something, and Carpenter thought it was disrespectful towards him to get mad at missing a pitch. Basically Carpenter was on his period

[cardinalsfan]

Today we will surrender first place to Reds. *sigh*

Carpenter overreacted. He threw the pitch to Lee and it didn't hit him. He did that against the D'Backs, too.

[J.R.]

Franklin just missed blowing a 2-run lead.

Yep, it was a nail biter.

You know you are old when...you are Jamie Moyer and you have been playing longer then the throwback uniform you are wearing tonight

[adamb10]

Brewers continue there homefield disadvantage with a loss to the phillies. This division is really weird so far. The Reds are threatening the cards on first place and the pirates are going to be in 3rd place...
