Do I need to go through baseballreference and find a list of teams with similar records through 60 games who weren't very good teams? I could probably find 10 examples from Cubs teams alone. The Reds did it for about 5 straight years not too long ago.

Just think 2007 Cobs. Well no offense, but hopefully I can get an opinion from somebody who is actually objective. Offense looked better than last time against Lowe. I'll be really glad when we are done with this week in enormous ballparks though. Middle of the order isn't making a lot of great contact this week and it continued today. Z was quite good, gave up a HR to Martin(should've been a solo shot, thanks umpires) but was having a nice outing until he hit 100 pitches and fell apart and couldn't get 5 outs(thanks to Ramirez and Kosuke*) in the 7th. *Kosuke's play was quite difficult, but the ball hit the pocket of the glove, and he's made many more difficult plays this year. -
How many times this series? Unbelievable

Westbrook to have TJS

Stepping closer to Sabathia becoming available. -
Boy is Portugal annoying to watch. Don't come down with a 50/50 ball? Fall down. Get dispossessed? Fall down. Play defense and have someone back into/towards you? Fall down.

Boise Starts Its Season Soon

Kemp, Gonzalez, and Vitters would make for an exciting infield, one that I imagine would be rounded out by a draftee like Ridling or Keedy(apologies if either of those are spelled wrong). -
What a crap game

How is Patterson doing so far?

After tonight's double header, EPatt is hitting .325/.364/.500 in about 175 PA's and is 8/8 in SBs. He's improved each month, going from a .775 OPS in April, to a .879 in May, with a 1.014 thus far in June. -

Marquez Smith went 4 for 5 and is now OPSing near .900. It's time for him to go to Daytona. -
line drive single to RF

Actually, all the other gimmicks seem to have broken him.

Because then he'll chop grounders to short that go through. You're screwed either way, as much as someone giving up a single can be screwed.

What's gotten into the Cardinals?
Transmogrified Tiger replied to bukie's topic in General Baseball Talk
That's what happens when you throw more than you have in several years in 1/3 of the time. You lose effectiveness(Braden Looper), or you get hurt. ps that means you're next Dempster, hope Hill and Marshall are healthy -
Edmonds almost broke himself trying to find that ball

6/6 - Other Games

If Milwaukee wins they pass Florida for that spot, so it'd remain 6.5 up on the playoffs. -
Their bad pitch selection evened out ours. Now way Fukudome should have seen a slider there. I also didn't like the fastball to Kent. Howry was up in the count and should have wasted a slider or two on him. As a reliever, you can't be a one-pitch pitcher. Kent hit that HR on a 1-1 count.

That's too bad, it seemed like a nice surface. I was there for Little 500 and we walked right into the stadium and onto the field without trouble.

Has Lou ever said why he puts the two lefties back to back? After all those years of trying to "break up the right handedness" we put them back to back more often than not.

Lots of intriguing arms in this draft. Cashner Shafer Carpenter Jackson Wilson Coleman Gray and my homer favorite, Cales. Hard to think there's not a good major leaguer in that group.

Woo Calvert. Maybe he'll last a full year in the system, unlike Taylor Parker.

Fastball: Gray threw his fastball in the low 90s and touched 93 mph. It was hittable when he left it up in the zone. Fastball movement: It wasn't completely straight; there was a little movement. Curve: He showed a good breaking ball that was plus at times. Slider: It really blends in with the curve to make one pitch. It's a power curve when he's throwing it right. Changeup: He rarely showed a changeup in this outing. Control: He was around the plate with all of his stuff. Poise: He was a good competitor on the mound. Physical Description: Gray is a good, but undersized athletic right-hander. Medical Update: Healthy. Strengths: He's got a quick arm with good command and two decent offerings he can throw for strikes. Weaknesses: Mostly his size. High school right-handers who are small always have to prove themselves more. Summary: Those who saw Gray over the summer -- and liked him -- saw more or less the same pitcher near the start of his high school season. He'll have to make believers out of those who shy away from undersized righties, but Gray's fastball and breaking ball -- and his command of those two pitches -- might be very persuasive
