Braves are self-destructing thanks to their pen and Kelly Johnson.

Going to free baseball in Miami, tied at 3-all. Although with all those empty orange seats in Jimmy Buffet ballpark, I am sure people could get in free at the start.

Brian McCann just hit a three run bomb in the top of the 10th, 6-3 Braves.

I find it fascinating when I see Marlins (or rays) highlights and there are TONS of empty seats close up and people are still sitting in the higher up seats…really…if they move down are they going to move them back up?

I don’t know….maybe the heat of Miami does something funny to the brain, or they are pretending that it is a packed house Dolphins game.

in late-era Veterans Stadium, my friends and I made an art form of what we called “seathawking.” We would do it competitively too — if usher bounced you, you were out, closest to the dugout by the last pitch won.

My friends and I did that at RFK stadium a few times. My wife refuses to acknowledge me when I talk about it.

Wait, David Ortiz is also linked to a positive steroid test? WIll we now get to endure another Boston curse, this one of the drawn-up syringe?
Yes – this came out earlier this morning – two more names from the ‘a-rod’ list i think – Ortiz and Ramirez.

I don’t want to hear Pujols’ name, mostly because I don’t want to hear Howard’s name.
by Wet Luzinski on Jul 30, 2009 10:22 PM EDT up reply actions
I don’t believe Howard would be on the list – have you seen the rest of his family – as i understand it he’s the runt of his family :)
Pujols would just cause ESPN to go black for 24 hours.

I think after is the best you can hope for there. But D’Arnaud has really been hitting lately. He’ll be a good one.
I mean – I still hate Ruiz – I never stopped hating Ruiz – not even during the WS – but seriously – ti’s just getting mroe painful – i think the fact that marson failed so miserably made me more likely to cry about it sooner :(

by WanderingMoses on Jul 30, 2009 10:51 PM EDT reply actions
so lemme get this straight….
The Phils are down 2-1 thanks to a blown call on a stolen base at second and Werth misplaying a ball in right-center.
Seems good.
At least the West Coast games don’t anger me as much when we lose, b/c I’m normally in bed when we start screwing up.
and Blizo takes the lead in the “Write the game summary” contest. don’t forget gratuitous mentions of Cliff Lee.

Oh well, if you win a bajillion games out of a bajillion and two, I guess you’re going to collectively slump at one point. Better now than Rocktober.

yeah but its a sad thing to lose back to back for the first time in forever. I liked being called the best and hottest team in baseball. Can’t we stay hot for the rest of the year, take the WS and be in a funk in the beginning of next season?

Cliff Lee
Nice interview on MLBTV with Hazel Day(?) – Lee still feeling his way in the situation, half of the time he calls the Phillies “they” and half it’s “we.” Bottom line: throw strikes and give the team a chance to win every time he goes out there. Good philosophy.
