    Why would they? Van Buren had an AWFUL spring and has terrible mechanics. Also didn't he pitch in the neterlands last year? Gotta be tired. He pitched in Lansing/West Tenn/Iowa last year and had a great season, and followed it up with a great season in Iowa this year. No Netherlands for him. An awful spring shouldn't be that big a deterrent. His terrible mechanics haven't hindered him from having two great seasons.

    With the score still 4-4, Ray Serrano opens the bottom of the 9th inning with a triple off David Aardsma. Serrano chooses NOT to try to score on an IF basehit by Joseph to Creighton (he would have easily scored thanks to the high hops on that hit). Aardsma pumps 3 fastballs past Hernandez (the last of which hitting 94) for the first out. Timmons getting an intentionally walked. Groundball deflects off Aaron Sisk's glove, allowing Serrano to score the winning run. Jaxx lose 5-4. :(

    Wasn't he playing left? I have no clue where he is in the lineup, but he is indeed in LF. And in other news, another lizard has forced entry into the house. :( Pitch out and the Jaxx get Blanco trying to steal to end the bottom of the 8th. To the 9th we go, tied at 4.
  5. CaliforniaRaisin
    Jaxx fail to push Craig across, we're going to the bottom of the 8th tied at 4.

    :-s When it gets hot outside, the lizards try to sneak inside the cooler house. In that case, I should have a house full of lizards. I would complain if I were you. The Braves tie it in the 6th with 2 runs on 3 singles. Marmol does K the side, though. The heat index at the Rangers game today was over 100 degrees (I had enough since to go to work instead). A day game in Texas in August - what were they thinking? Don't worry, I'm complaining to all who will listen. Yeah, the Angels had to play one of those earlier this year in Arlington and all the players were complaining. That's brutal (and stupid). It was only 98 here today (dry heat too), but I hated it. Matt Craig with a leadoff double. With one out, Montanez grounds out to the pitcher, they have Craig caught between second and third, but the pitcher threw it away and Craig got back to second safely. Montanez safe at first.

    Nolasco! Marshall, if he hadn't gotten hurt. :cry:

    Wow, the Jaxx get a DP on a sac bunt attempt! Two outs in the bottom of the 5th... Sorry for missing the bottom of the 4th and top of the 5th, there was a lizard inside the house and I had to get it out. Jaxx lead 4-2 after 5.
  11. CaliforniaRaisin
    Top 4th: Creighton flies out. Reyes grounds out, 1-3. Pitcher injured his finger - and he will stay in the game. Marmol grounds out, 5-3. 3-1 Jaxx lead it, midway through 4.
  12. CaliforniaRaisin
    MONTANEZ ROBS SOME BRAVE OF AN EXTRA BASE HIT AT THE WALL!! (If the wall was shorter than 16' tall, he would have robbed the Brave of a HR.) Marmol gets a 1-2-3 3rd inning.
  13. CaliforniaRaisin
    Top 3rd: Bacon strikes out. Greenberg triples. Craig singles past the drawn-in IF, Greenberg scores. 2-1, Jaxx. Sisk up, Craig steals second. Craig steals third on the next pitch. :shock: :shock: Sisk pops out. Montanez singles to RF, Craig scores. 3-1, Jaxx. Coats flies out. Midway through 3, Jaxx lead 3-1.
  14. CaliforniaRaisin
    With 2 outs, Serrano ground-rule doubles off Marmol. Prado scores to tie the game at 1. The tomahawk chop at Braves minor league games: :thumbdown: Marmol Ks the next batter to get out of the inning tied at 1. Carlos has thrown 30 pitches through 2 innings.
  15. CaliforniaRaisin
    Second inning: Buck Coats singles. Matt Creighton flies out. Jose Reyes up. Coats steals second. Reyes lines out to RF Joseph - nice catch by the RF. Coats advances to third. Carlos Marmol grounds out on a nice play by the IF Prado. 1-0 Jaxx, midway through 2.
  16. CaliforniaRaisin
    After a 48-minute rain delay, the Jaxx game is underway. Dwaine Bacon leads off with a double. Adam Greenberg sac bunts, 1-4, Bacon to third. Matt Craig grounds out to second, 4-3. Bacon scores, 1-0 Jaxx. Aaron Sisk singles to RF. Luis Montanez srikes out swinging. Marmol gives up a 2-out single but Reyes throws out that hitter when he tries to steal second. 1-0 after 1, the Jaxx lead it.

    While Bradley is no stranger to these incidents, let's not forget Jeff Kent has had his problems in the clubhouse before this season. As USSoccer mentioned, I don't see Hendry being interested in Bradley because of character reasons. And I don't want the 38-year old Kent either.

    And the tarp is now coming off...

    The rain is coming down big time and the WT game is currently being delayed. Ron Potesta gave Chris (DJAXX) and NSBB a major shoutout for tomorrow's game. Don't forget to listen in tomorrow, folks!

    Don't be hatin' on Eric Patterson and Brandon Sing.
  21. CaliforniaRaisin
    I spent a while searching for 26-30 last night and didn't know why I couldn't find it. Apparently I wasn't losing it. :P
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    Ware could be a draft-and-follow if he goes to JC, correct?

    Away from Billy Wagner. How come CPatt? NM, don't know what I was looking at hehe, 24 mill seems high. The 3 in conjunction with the 24 is the important part. Remember Remmy. That has a nice ring to it. I think he's worth it...dude is only 34...hasn't had an ERA above 2.5 in 4 years...last three I think the average is under 2.0... Is he the only thing we need? not by a long shot....but he makes it an 8 inning game. Heck...Matt Lawton is getting 7.75 Mill... For Comparision...Rivera is getting 10.5 Mill, Izzy is 8.2, Foulke is getting 7.5, .... 8 for Wagner doesn't seem out of line at all....heck, maybe we could say we couldn't afford Neifi because of the expense. Look at Remmy's numbers the 3-4 years before we signed him. Age will catch up to Wagner too, especially since he relies on that little body to throw heat. And he's such an injury risk. If the Cubs aren't re-signing Dempster (which I'm sure they will, based on the comments about how he's such a good guy in the clubhouse and given how Hendry likes these high character guys), the only closer I want them to go after is BJ Ryan. From a cost-benefit perspective, it'd be wiser for the Cubs to re-sign Dempster.

    I'd like to see that but I wouldn't be surprised if the Cubs called up Kelton instead....for the righty bat. It'll probably be Fontenot. Kelton isn't on the 40-man, while Fontenot is. I fully expect Macias to get all the starts, though. It would be interesting to see the Cubs do something crazy like add Matt Craig to the 40-man and promote him from West Tenn.

    According to minorleaguebaseball.com, this is the pitching matchup for the second game. C. Pignatiello (1-4, 3.69) vs. J. Horgan (4-3, 4.30) Where doe MiLB.com state pitching matchups?
