travis Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Angels did everything they could to blow a 6-1 lead in the 8th but somehow managed to come out with a 6-5 win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgoodcore Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Looks like the Dodger pitching staff may be coming around. Not sure what to make of Ely in so far as how consistent he can be but he does throw strikes. And for a fourth starter that's all you want, really. Kershaw has looked outstanding in his last 3 starts and Bills has been much, much better. Kuroda is as he always has been. I'm not so down as I was earlier though I'm still bitter this whole divorce thing has put the Dodgers in the position they're in right now. They should have a much better team.

thesupervillain Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 As usual, the A.L. East is beastly. I've been very proud of my Jays the last few weeks. They can't keep playing at this pace all season but I really hope they don't fall all the way down. Poor, poor Baltimore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flood Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 seriously, i feel so bad for orioles fans... i mean how do you overcome what have been 3 of the best teams in baseball... every year? the wild card is pretty much always NY or BOS in the AL.

rockstar71888 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 i expected the O's to be fighting for 3rd place in the division this year. their awful start was a surprise to me because that offense is great. anyways, i'm happy to see my favorite team atop the AL Beast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamitekid Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 The Orioles arent playing up to their potential. They have some really good players on that team and they just aren't playing well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 so doug davis, one of the pitchers I really liked on the brewres rotation a few years ago just because of his consistancy and stamina, came back this season for a one year deal. he's now on the DL for a heart condition that you hear about on House all the time. Kinda bummed, guy is an alright pitcher, a really good clubhouse guy, and is yet another blow to the brewers rotation. one AWESOME story though is that of Chris Capuano, an 18 game winner a few years ago. had his second tommy john surgery before last season, hasnt pitched in the majors in 2 years, and is up at AAA doing pretty well. He was another pitcher I was a big fan of, and I am really rooting for him to make it back to the majors after 2 tommy johns. all I really care is that jeff suppan is out of the rotation. what a bust/stupid signing that was...

Jeff Suppan's baserunning Gaffe was part of the Sox Sweep in 2004. Which is funny as he was on the Sox when he was drafted AND again in 2003.

mediocore Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 all I really care is that jeff suppan is out of the rotation. what a bust/stupid signing that was... It's the latter. Dude's never been better than mediocre. His shining moment was the 2006 postseason (particularly the NLCS), which is why he got the contract he got.

travis Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 Guess I cant completely blame this latest blown save on Fuentes but still.....fuck that guy. Atleast they won it in the bottom of the 9th. Read an article today that said the Angels are the frontrunners for Oswalt, and one of the GMs was quoted as saying something like if he was going to Vegas he would go all in on the Angels getting Oswalt. Would be nice to land a guy like that as long as they dont have to give up too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im hearing they want prospects like Trevor Reckling who is the Angels top pitching prospect and/or Mike Trout who is really yound and I think still in A ball but suppose to be just a beast on offense and defense. They definitely need some pitching help tho in the rotation and definitely in the pen as well. Since they didnt do shit before this season they should be set up to make some big moves at the deadline or in the off season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamitekid Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I would give up a ton for Oswalt. A proven ace thats under your control for the next 2.5 years? Yes plz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgoodcore Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I would give up a ton for Oswalt. A proven ace thats under your control for the next 2.5 years? Yes plz. He's had some major back/injury issues though. Even still I'm with you. I'd love for him to be the ace for the Doyers. Then the staff goes from "okay" to top-end. Especially given how Bills has turned around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randysxe Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 yeah, id stay away from oswalt. all his lingering issues, and being a small dude, kinda scary. just my opinion. kinda like peavy, saw that coming from a mile away. both dudes throw hard, kinda like wagner, and are small and just break down all at once! kinda like running backs in the nfl once they hit 30 hahaha on a side note, i love the padres, so fun to watch them pitch, not so fun watching them hit. please get another bat and stop allowing gwynn play! his at bats are painful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flood Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 yeah the jackson/granderson thing had me on the fence... but granderson was playing so well before he got hurt... and jackson is doing well too.. so i think it was a relatively balanced trade overall. And i'd be royally pissed if they got rid of montero... i doubt that jorge is going to get a contract extention past what he's due.... and those are BIG shoes to fill as far as offensive numbers.
