I remember when he was signed, that fat fuck manager was talking about Crede being a great DH and bench option.
Oakland completing a road sweep of Texas. The Rangers can't hit at all. At home against bad starting pitching. This is going to take them out of the wild card race.
Sometimes I listen to games called by Jon Miller and Joe Morgan and think that the announcing couldn't get any worse. Then I watch tonight's game called by Chris Berman and Rick Sutcliffe and realize how deep the rabbit hole goes. At least it's not Buck and McCarver...
http://player.cumulusstreaming.com/SLPLayer.aspx?KNBR-AM Bunch of crazy finishes today. The capper is this one.
White Sox/Mariners in the 14th. What a shame that a meaningless game is going on for such a long time. It started at 6:40 EDT.
cubs/cards tied at 3, bottom of the 9th Cardinals 9th Sean Marshall pitching: Skip Schumaker: Foul, Schumaker singled to center. Aaron Heilman relieved Sean Marshall. Mark DeRosa: Pickoff attempt, Bunt foul, DeRosa sacrificed to pitcher, Schumaker to second. Albert Pujols: Intentional ball, Intentional ball, Intentional ball, Pujols intentionally walked I don't like bunting in front of Pujols. Don't make the decision for them by opening up a base.
La Russa takes the bat out of Pujols's hands, Holliday HBP, Ludwick GIDP. Goes to extras and it looks like the Cubs will win in 11. Critical error by La Russa.
Agreed. I've said this before but as a Dodger fan, listening to Vin Scully call the game by himself late at night has ruined me for all other baseball telecasts.
Pujols still leads the majors in homers by four, but he hasn't homered in two weeks. I took him with a two game streak in BTS HR edition.
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/story?columnist=stark_jayson&page=rumblings090924 We'd like to thank those innovative Seattle Mariners for providing us with two of the wackiest injuries of the year -- in a span of 72 hours. • Second prize: Mariners catcher Rob Johnson has been out since Friday with a sprained ankle -- from landing funny while jumping up and down at home plate, waiting for Ichiro to finish orbiting the bases after a walk-off homer off Mariano Rivera. And we figured it would be tough to top that one until … • First prize: We've always thought it was sad that too many Americans think reading is painful. But maybe they have a case, after closer David Aardsma's mishap this week. Aardsma was unavailable to pitch Tuesday with a sore back. And how did his back get so sore? From curling up, reading a book on the coast-to-coast flight from Seattle to Tampa on Monday. Ouch. Here's our recommended reading for his next flight: "Excuses Begone!"
Detroit and Minnesota both win, meaning Detroit continues to lead by 2 games magic number now 7, I think Dodgers 3 games up on St. Louis for HFA in the NL Cards playing in Colorado right now. Colorado leads Atlanta by only three games because the Braves are on a three game winning streak
Giants collapsed down the stretch and they're going to miss the playoffs they just lost three straight games at home to the Cubs, who are done they scored 5 runs in those three games
oh-oh..Beckett scratched with back spasms. http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/10138626/Beckett-scratched-because-of-back-spasms
Atlanta has won seven in a row and they now sit just two games back of Colorado for the NL wild card. atlanta: fla, fla, was, was, was, was colorado: mil, mil, mil, @lad, @lad, @lad
Mets/Nationals got delayed by a four minute video review. Terrible job, because it was an obvious call. shouldn't have needed a review in the first place. francouer hit a ball off the top of the wall. elijah dukes just screwed up a fly ball badly and allowed two runners to advance 2-0 now after santos singled
