Wow, I hope the bullpen is ready to go today.

Yeah, the Marlins are fading fast. They strike out way too much and can't play defense.

I agree valpo. Could you imagine if that catch had been made by a Yankee or Red Sox player? Not only would it have been number one, but they would have also called in the entire baseball tonight crew to analyze the play and spent 10 minutes talking about it. Absolutely ridiculous to put a preseason nfl play ahead of it. Seems like I get more and more angry with ESPN every day.

Lets get em tomorrow boys.

Counsell-Cameron-Kendall up in the 9th down by 2. We need a miracle.

Updated Stats- Wright: 6-9, 3.42 ERA, 54 BB/108 SO, 6 HR, 24 years old Welch: 11-2, 3.49 ERA, 46 BB/87 SO, 19 HR, 25 years old I've been impressed with the way these guys have performed this year in AA, especially Wright. Anybody know what type of "stuff" they have? Will they more likely pitch out of the pen if they ever do make it to Milwaukee?

The Cubs are just destined I guess. Poop.

It'll be interesting to see if Wright is given the opportunity next spring training to see if he could be our #4/5 starter or pitch out of the bullpen. And I think it's time to promote Wooten yet again. Like somebody else said, he's a little old to be playing in low A ball. Let's get him up to BC to close out the year.

Houston wins again and I continue to be annoyed by this. Why? Because I just don't like them.

lol, when did this happen? I don't remember the interview for some reason.

No kidding. It sounds like there's a rollercoaster up in the second deck.

Why on god's green earth are you swinging at a 3-0 pitch? Just stupid.

Nix will show everybody by going 3 for 5 with a homer and 3 rbi's.

Yeah, same thing I said. Holy crap.

Hopefully the Braves, Nationals, and Giants can at least be competitive today.

During our 8 game winning streak, we have outscored our opponents 49-12. Pretty impressive.

Awesome job by Sabathia. Like AJAY said, he is laboring tonight. But still only 1 run allowed.

Corey Hart!

Can we really afford to trot out Rickie and his pathetic defense almost every night when we're in the middle of a pennant race? I would think not.
