Any team in the NL has a huge shot to make the World Series. The Mets are in trouble with that starting rotation. They have like 60 more "meaningless" games in front of them which is never good for any team. Glavine has been awaful, while Pedro is brilliant, he hasnt been this year. Tracshel is just okay. I dont see them making it out of the first round, unless they get a ridiculously weak NL West team. I thought the Mets would go out and get a really good starting pitcher but they didnt.

Nice buttkicking the Dodgers gave the Reds last night.. Do you remember when they were rivals? I can remember staying up as a kid to watch the Dodgers games when they were playing out in LA...

And now I have to zing Gander:

That was a nice pick on the Astros, doh....

Yeah,the 70's were quite a war between the Reds n' Dodgers.Oakland reminds me very much of the defense that the Reds had back then.Dodgers trying to open up another can of whipa$$ on the Reds tonight.Lugo is a really good hitter.He was the toughest out when the Halos played Tampa.Betemit(whatever)is Furcal's best friend.All the sudden he gets his best friend to hang with,and he starts to hit.The Dodgers still have the best batting average in the National league(so I hear...METS???)The Dodger pitching has been the problem.Lowe is just not a reliable guy in the regular season.You can see where the problem is.Give the guy 10 mil a year,and he may go .500(if we are lucky.)The rookie catcher (Martin)is somebody you would want want your kid to be just like.Really a terrific individual.A weird team.Just seems to not be enough self-discipline (in general) on the team.

4-0, when I get out of here at 9pm, it'll probably be even more. At least I can go to sleep instead of watching the beating.

I just think this odd difference in salary kind of makes the mlb look fixed.Then they let the fish cut their payroll to 14 mil.MLB needs to get some control of this sht.

AMEN!!!! The difference is only what four A-rods? NO its five Mannys

The Mets will be fine against the NL teams. They can score at will and the NL is awful. Maine might be the key to everything and it looks like he is the real deal not some fluke pitcher, but you are leaving out the best big game pitcher in baseball, El Duque. That guy will throw lights out when the big game comes. Screw Glavine, we shouldn't have ever taken a Brave. Pedro looked like his brilliant self the other night. He will be fine. The Mets real problem though is Wagner. His is no Benitez but he sure isn't much better.

LOL...Dodgers picked off Freel at 1st base.I guess there was a dispute about whether time had been called.The umps had a pow wow.Then,the ump called him out.The fans in cincy(in the background down the right field line)didn't agree.One guy stood up right away and gave the finger to the umps.Funny thing is he did it with both hands.

Somebody at this game actually cares enough to do that? LOL!

Yeah,the Cincy folks seem to be living n' die 'n with every pitch.Elmer Dessens has decent stuff this year.Was tough on the Halos,and just made Cincy look bad too.How does a guy pitch that bad,and then start pitching that good?Lobotomized him.

SCUDSBROTHER · #29 08-02-2006, 09:03 PM

The fans in Cincy are pretty crazy.Do they even make kids go past the 6th grade there? LOL..I shouldn't kid MWINDU too much.Junior just missed making it a tie game.That's gotta be like acid.

SCUDSBROTHER · #30 08-02-2006, 09:20 PM

Cincy fan don't feel bad.Saito is a beast.Not just against you guys.Dodgers are within 3 of the wild card.Man,that is ugly,but the truth.

Cincinnati 55 52 .514...........
....Arizona 54 52 .509 ..-.5
LA Dodgers 52 55 .486..- 3

You do make a good point, there's alot of uneducated people around Cincinnati, I had a Grandfather that was illiterate, and I am not the only one around here that had Grandparents like that, must be the Appalachian influence. I was lucky, my parents told us every day that we would get College Degrees.

Besides, you have to be a nut to go down there, why go sit in that 98 degree, 100% humidity, worry about getting shot, finding a parking spot, when I can sit on my couch watch, drink my Tropicana Sugar Free Fruit Punch, and watch the game.

Most of those fans down there do not realize that the Big Red Machine was 30 years ago...

That was probably Turdbucket, sounds like something he would do...

There was like 5 or 6 guys(standing up ,and giving the ump the finger) in the picture frame,but the guy doing it with both hands was the star.
