2008 MLB Season

[njmeadowlanders]

As for the Nats Im still ticked at the last two weeks from last year they went 1-6 against the Phillies and 5-1 against the Mets and played every game against the Mets like it was Game 7, using the 40-man roster to use 10 pitchers to go lefty righty starting in the 6th inning some games.

So we agree never to bring this up again?

They better sweep that team, my god the Nats are awful they look like they could not beat the Newark Bears.

The Cubs finished off a sweep of Atlanta this evening, as the Braves' Mark Kotsay hit for the cycle in a losing effort.

For the record, I would like to say that the cycle is the most overrated stat/achievement in all of baseball, if not all of sports. To be honest, I am just as impressed by a player who hits two HRs in a single game as I am with a player getting a single, double, triple and homerun.

Its not overrated, a cycle is almost as rare as a No Hitter.

And the Mets just better beat the Nats, that team is pathetic, the team the Mets played today was not the pesky team that was there in May or Last year.

All the cycle is is an oddity. However, I believe in total throughout history they are rarer than a no-hitter in terms of occurrences.

(By the way, the Mets have 9 cycles, 0 no hitters. Go figure.)

[NJTank]

And the Mets had a cycle from the immortal Eric Valent too

Dear Nationals,

You suck, you honestly do.

Just firggen try is that too much to ask when you play the :censored:ing Phillies? You try like hell when you play the Mets. Thats all I ask give the same effort. I know its a tradition for DC Baseball teams to utterly suck, but its a new milenium, and its a new league. First in War, First in Peace and Last in the American League. I get that it was a cool tradition, but come on give us a break and stop rolling over and playing dead when the Phillies come to town.

Yours Trully,

The Mets have retaken sole possession of first in the NL East, but it's not like the Phillies have not overcome deficits to the Mets in the last 12 months. It's mental with the Fightins ... or do you mean to tell me that Aaron Rowand was that critical to the clubhouse karma?

And I see the Eric Valent Mets cycle and call with a Phillies David Bell cycle. David Bell hit a triple?

[NJTank]

But at least David Bell had a career and had some good seasons.

Valent had only one year in the majors and has not been seen again.

You could have fixed the spelling errors, at least.

[Cujo]

The ChiSox hitting four consecutive home runs yesterday was pretty impressive, but nothing will ever top THIS!

[tp49]

Yankees send Melky Cabrera down to AAA and surprise, surprise waive Richie Sexon.

[NJTank]

Richie Sexson coming to an Independent League near you.

[See Red]

Yankees are done for.

[NJTank]

The New York Yankees are now on life support.

[Cujo]

The New York Yankees are now on life support.

You'll know the Yanks have thrown in the towel as soon as the shut Joba down for good.

Until then, they're not going to go away (unfortunately).

[Jigga]

The New York Yankees are now on life support.

I think as long as the Yanks are within 7 games with 17 to go, they'll be fine.

[Island_Style]

I hate to say it but it may be time to put a fork in the Marlins. Even if it is over it damn sure was a fun season. Still, it can be done but odds are against them. Tonight was painful.

[HedleyLamarr]

Heh....

So the Yankees are 10 games back of the Rays in mid-August, despite spending at least $160 million more than Tampa Bay. Incredible....

New York can still turn this in their favor though. New York Baseball: We even choke better than your team!

Yeah, it's a stretch, but I like it.

[ZapRowsdower8]

Pirates spent money last night and signed number 2 overall Pedro Alvarez. I know spending money doesn't equal winning, but it looks like they might actually be trying for the first time in years.

[Brass]

I'm still not counting the Yankees out. As a Red Sox fan, I know that they always make it interesting.
