yeah that sucks big time.. was at the game today... although good 2nd releif pitcher who won it

[BroChaos Veteran]

woohoo, just got back from the cubbies game! :)

d. lee was cold, but it was nice to see the rest of the team step it up.

brought my camera, forgot the memory card :pinch:

oh well, it was a gorgeous day, great seats, and a W for the cubbies, not to mention a bunch of HR's.

yeah i just saw the highlights on sportscenter... you guys probally got quite a scare when that line drive almost hit maddux in the face :( such a shame what happened to prior.

[BroChaos Veteran]

yeah, scared the crap outta me, and then he sat there on the ground for about a minute afterward, so then i thought he got hurt when he ducked out of the way...

but one of the best games i've been to. web gem catch by jd drew, web gem catch by d. lee at first, and then 4 homers total.

Kansas City. . . finished its first three-game sweep of the Yankees at home in 15 years.

the Royals earned their first sweep of anybody in 78 series.

Not a good night for Yankee fans I would think.

[xpgeek]

Holds head in shame. Yankee fan I am. Screamssss at the ceiling Kansas #$* City !!!!!!

[BroChaos Veteran]

wow, the royals? thats just sad....

GO CUBBIES! YOU CAN'T STOP D LEE!

his last 2 games, in 10 plate appearances, he is 8-8 with 2 walks. reached base all 10 times. tell me he's not hot.

Since I am a Brewers fan it is in my blood to say the following statement:

The scrubs suck.

The Brewers better steal a win from those dodgers.

The Nationals are only a half-game out! The race in the NL East is "tight as crap". :D

[bigbluepride35]

Yeah the NL East is going to be killer this year. The Phillies, who seemed dead in the water have gone on a surge and now there's 1.5 games between first and last. Should be some great inter-division games. Of course that means that they're going to beat each oher up so much that they'll probably only get one team in. You can forget the wild-card coming out of there. Should be an entertaining, and gut-wrenching if you're a fan of one of these teams, season. Just as proof: The Mets can finish today in first OR last after the double-header against the Giants. Insanse :omg:

damn, first or last in one day. thats crazy...

not gonna say anything about the team in my sig, don't want to jinx :p

[bigbluepride35]

Yeah still 1.5 games betwen first and last. The Washington Nationals (formerly known as the Montreal/ Puerto Rico Expos) are in first place. :omg:

[j.nudd]

Yeah, Cubbies are on fire. Winning 9 of the last 10 is pretty incredible. With D.Lee and Aramis getting scorchingly hot at teh same time, the cubs offense will take off :yes:

Didn't you read j.nudd? If something happens it's your fault now :laugh:.

[j.nudd]

I read it, but I have faith... besides, i haven't changed my boxers since before their 9 of 10 streak... if that's not lucky, i don't know what is :)

[BroChaos Veteran]

hey i have faith too :p

but we need all the help we can get :)

[bigbluepride35]

Pedro is the friggin MAN. Maybe the Yanks went after the wrong ace. I jsut hope his arm doesn't fall off before the season's over. The guy's not only on top of his game again but he brings so much energy to the ballpark. It's insane. I haven't seen Shea this excited since 2000. It's been a bit of a roller-coaster but I'm finally enjoying a baseball season again. :D It feels nice to care about the season this deep in, again. Of course, yet another Mets pitcher teasing us by flirting with the no-no. :p

[Veedems Veteran]

The Mets were just very smart in that they built a team and not just a group of great players. When they are on the field, they really look like they're having a blast, which is key. Meanwhile, over in the friggin Bronx.....
