80-49 31 games over 500, how sweet it is..

[GeorgeSteele]

Fascinating isn't it?

You misspelled "disgusting."

LOL.

Also, the red sox are 8-18 the month of August.

And it only gets worse... Ortiz was diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat and is out indefinitely.  What a nightmare of a season.  Let's just hope he's OK and gets back healthy and all.

In other news, former All-Star closer Jeff Reardon was found not guilty of armed robbery by reason of insanity.

Regardless of the fact I'm a Yanks fan and regarless of how I feel about the Red Sox....I wish Ortiz a quick and full recovery and a clean bill of health.  Stuff like this is scary, scary shit and you have to feel for him. 

I remember when Reggie Lewis had a similar bout while playing for the Celtics.  A few months later he collapsed on the court and died.  Hopefully Oriz can put aside his concerns for how his team is doing and concentrate on making the best possible decision for him and his family and on getting better.

Man thats just fucked up, I dont care about the season anymore I just hope Big papi is O.K. He's been great to the City of Boston and loves his fans as much as we love him. I'm hoping he can come back to play, but they say its the same symptons Lewis had when he died while playing with the celtics, so I and I am sure all red sox fans would agree, that we all would not be terribly dissappointed if he had to step down because his health at this point is more important than seeing him out there.

On another note, I am not happy with ManRam, he should be out there trying to help our team?

I love it, but it's almost like I don't recognize this as a Mets team.  One, they're winning; and two, they're doing it offensively rather than with pitching (though the bullpen has been very good all year). 

By the way, what's going on with Carl Pavano?  He cracks a few ribs in a car accident and doesn't tell the team until weeks later.  At this point, I think Cashman is so disgusted he hopes the guy comes down with gonorrhea.

phils win again! only 1/2 game out of the wild card. i'm sure they'll fall apart due to the lack of quality starters, but it's nice having meaningful baseball this late in the year. especially considering how far out we were in july.

19-11 since abreu last played for us.

howard is a beast. total clutch. he's got a shot at winning MVP in the NL. and utley is the man.

I'd guess most Yankees fans feel the same way, right now.  The fact he GOT in an accident, and got hurt AGAIN, is annoying.  The guy's making 10 mill per year and has pitched to fewer batters this year than Myers (the Yanks "1 batter specialist) has.  But not telling the team about the injury for 2 weeks is just ludicrous.  For me, it almost borders on fraud...because Pavano knew what the Yanks plans were (to call him up for late August or at least Sept 1st when the rosters expand) for him and didn't say a word.  Man, if I were Cashman I'd have every attorney I have on payroll looking for a way to void his contract.  They won't, because I'm sure they still envision a way for Pavano to pitch for them, eventually (ie: next season) and contribute.  I don't.  Hell, after this fiasco I'm not sure I'd want him on my team anyway.

Tack on another Sox injury.

"According to the Boston Herald, Jon Lester has been undergoing an array of exams in Boston for internal medical issues, including cancer.

Now it's past the point at which even we can joke about Boston's injury situation. The Red Sox can't discuss it, but Lester was diagnosed with enlarged lymph nodes, according to the Herald's sources. Such a symptom can be caused by an array of issues, from infections to cancer. The Red Sox had hoped his upper back issues were a minor problem caused by a recent car accident."

You guys can compare the magnitudes of your teams' injuries all you would like. No one can argue that any other team has lost the best clutch hitter in the game as well as a damn good rookie pitcher ever within days of each other. Not the Yankees, A's, Brewers, Mud Hens, Isotopes, or any other team.

Can we just call the season over, hand the WS trophy to the team with the best record, and move on already?

Great idea.

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

The Dodgers swept the Reds, and are up 3 games on San Diego.  The schedule looks tough for September.  They're gonna be playing mostly with Western rivals.  Not to mention the NL best Mets. 

[Mal Brossard]

It's official.

Red Sox rookie left-hander Jon Lester has lymphoma.

That's very sad news, hopefully he can round the corner and beat this horrible disease.

[mikegiuliana]

I mean how fucking awesome is reyes wright beltran (hope he's ok) delgado loduca chavez.. The team is fucking awesome ,maybe even Amazin best team record, 35 over 500.. best team in BB is the mets..

[cotis]

A-Rod had 2 Hr and 5 RBI today, his third game in a row with a homerun (if I'm not mistaken?).

Think he's busted outta his slump?

Pa - lease, Mike.  Let's not say baseball - go with NL!

[Mal Brossard]

Kevin Kouzmanoff!!!

Indians call him up for an injured Travis Hafner, gets his first AB in the first with the bases loaded, and blasts the first pitch he sees in the major leagues for a grand slam!

How about that?

[sandman]

howard is up to 53 HRs. unbelievable. only 20 players have ever hit more than 50.

he's got a real shot at 62, which would put him 4th all time for most season in a season. and the three players above him are juicers.

he could be the first to LEGITIMATELY break the HR record.

MVP of the NL!!

Yeah, I think Howard has the MVP of the NL wrapped up tight.

I think the AL MVP is going to come down to Jeter and Dye (Sorry, Ortiz is out of it because his team is pretty much out of it).? That race, IMHO, is too close to call at this point.? Too many mitigating factors (White Sox making the playoffs, Batting title, NYY surpassing Detroit for best record in the AL, etc, etc).

I gotta admit, I turned the Yanks game off last night after the 7th inning.? It was late and I had an early morning and, down 5 to 1, I figured the game was pretty much over.? 10 runs in the 8th.? Holy crap.? And with Rivera not available for the KC series, the big lead was awful nice.

I bet the Red Sox were kicking themselves over that one...they thought they had a shot to gain a game on the Yanks and...whammmo....the magic number shrinks some more (to 17, I think?)
