[MantMaris]

McAllister 4 IP 7K 0H Kotchman HR 4-0 Indians over Rays.

 

[Topnotchsy]

CUTCH!!

 

[MantMaris]

CUTCH!!

One more bad outing for Lincecum 3.1 IP 7H 6ER 3K

Brian McCann finding the power stroke again.

 

[scotty216brs]

Aaaand the bullpen blows Zimmermanns quality start....7IP 3H 1ER 2BB 2K ERA down to 2.61 record still at 5-6. ::sigh::

 

[MantMaris]

Chris Perez makes me sick

 

[MantMaris]

Trout with HR 12 on the year.

 

[gt2590]

McCann would be in the HOF already if he played all his games in Philly.

Man, in a week where they HAD to win 4 or 5 the Phils won 1. Amaro just flipped his sign to "Open for Business". :lol:

Even with the Rocks winning 2 of 3, the Phils trail the Nats by 14.5 and the WC by 10...

 

[Topnotchsy]

CUTCH!!

x2

 

[gt2590]

HR Goldschmidt (12) to make it 5-0 Bauers.

Cueto dealing again.

And man, does Heath Bell suck this year! I don't think he threw 5 true strikes in 26 pitches in the midst of another Blown save. Furcal with the GWer...

 

[scotty216brs]

If the Red Sox want a chance of winning this game tonight they will keep hitting the ball to Derek Jeter!

Truth!
By the way, I absolutely hate ESPN games because of the f'in bottomline. My eyes just go to it and it's the same stuff over and over and over.

Yeah, I hear ya. It's better than FOX though, if that's saying anything. And the sound quality of the game is solid..

 

[MantMaris]

Glad Sweeney seems to be ok. That could have been very ugly

Yeah I held my breath for a minute after seeing that...neck injuries are not good. Did you see the catch Sweeney made when he had his concussion earlier this season? Incredible. He plays so damn hard.

Missed that play. He just came off the DL not too long ago because of that right?

 

[scotty216brs]

That was from a lingering toe injury he had...he went on the 7 day DL a few weeks before that. Here's the catch:

Amazing that he hits the wall and is fine but that catch ends up with a whiplash concussion. No doubt he goes all out.

Loving the back and forth in the stands right now. ESPN is picking that up nice and clear.

Yeah have to laugh about that, not usually do Sox fans have to fight to root for their team @ Fenway so a lot of Yankee fans must have made it to the game. ESPN has very nice sound quality.

Andruw Jones is Mickey Mantle against the Sox, jesus christ!
