Not much of a crowd today. I want to see the blue angels around3ish.

probably not, but it sure looked like Sal was giving Choo an english lesson in the dugout.
Travis Hafner is overrated. Clarity is underrated. David Dellucci is David Dellucci.

He needs to have a starting job next year.
The best thing probably is to hit [Grady] 2nd -- Jay

Marte has an eight-game hitting streak over which he is hitting .346/.346/.500 (plus whatever he did today).

I’d like to see Seattle acquire reliever Fabio Castro, so they can have Castro take over from Batista late in games…

Wouldn’t he need some guy named Guevara to be the set up man?

How good would Raul Ibanez have seemed had he actually had the first half of his career?

Bases loaded on walks — too bad Vic forgot who was pitching!

Does it get through without the touch?

We really know how to end a 10 game winning streak in style.

I think the team got mad with all the people talking about playoff possibilities after the streak, and decided to teach them a lesson.

Did you catch the bit about how it should have been a no-hitter?

I guess Milwaukee’s filing an appeal to get the hit turned into an error
by APV on Aug 31, 2008 5:15 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
The league office shouldn’t be able to award a no-hitter after the fact. A number of no-hitters have been tainted by scorers changing a decision as the game progressed, but I’m not aware of an ex post facto no-hitter. For one thing, CC never had to take the mound in the 9th inning with a no-hitter on the line. This is a critical component of the feat.

I agree. But I still want to see the play in question.

You can watch it on MLB.com. To me, there’s no way you can call that an error.
by Voltaire on Aug 31, 2008 6:25 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Probably should have been ruled an error, nothing too challenging about the play, CC took his eye off the ball
by Roger Dorn on Aug 31, 2008 7:31 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I think if he picked up the ball cleanly and threw a strike to first base he could have had the out. It would have been a tough play, but definitely doable. Seems like one of those judgement, on-the-field error calls…which would be pretty sketchy to overturn after the fact.
by APV on Aug 31, 2008 10:36 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
ERROR. But it was on CC, so that makes it hard to overturn.

we really could have used these three wins huh

Going to see three games this weekend and I am 0-2 so far. To the MARINERS for crissakes.
What in the name of God was Victor doing swinging at pitches 1 and 2 from a guy who just walked the last two batters straight? That was probably the least of our problems today, but it was definitely one of the most glaring.
I sure hope the offense brings their A game tomorrow. I really wanna see #20. Especially after these last two cock-ups.

If we were in the NL West, we’d be right in the thick of things.
by Roger Dorn on Aug 31, 2008 7:30 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
But, we’d have Casey Blake and no Carlos Santana. I’m really torn here.
