Felix Hernandez is perfect through 9 vs the anemic Rays bats.

*hoping to mush*

Wow, struck out the side in the 8th.

MaTH716 · #**203** 08-15-2012, 05:04 PM

Perfect!

MaTH716 · #**204** 08-15-2012, 05:07 PM

He fell behind Sean Rodriguez the 27th batter 2-0 and threw maybe the nastiest slider ever. Followed by a ridiculous curve and then painted the corner with a fastball. He was absolutely lights out, unhittable.
Thanks for letting me know Bigs.

Nice reverse mush!

The Rays feed didn't go to commercial before the ninth. Instead, they showed a reel of the first 24 outs. Kudos to them for recognizing the moment and kicking the sponsors to the curb for one break.

Soccer?

I don't need to be a baseball expert to know when a mush attempt turns into a reverse mushing. Seen it way too many times before.

I don't care much for Victor Conte, but it's hard to imagine there's anyone on the planet who knows more about this subject?

Nothing new regarding testosterone (see Landis, Floyd). Just like anything else, atheletes (or horse trainers) are going to push the envelope. Most are smart enough to stay below the testing limits. Some, make mistakes or are dumb enough to get caught.

Anyone who believes most atheletes are clean, aren't taking every advantage and pushing the testing envelope, are naive.

At what point do you think the Rays take an honest look at Derek Shelton (the Rays hitting coach)?

They've been no-hit what, like 3 times since he's been here?

They consistently struggle with hitting, players that come in (Re: Scott, Keppinger, Reynolds, Matsuki, etc.) come in on a tear, and go ice cold within two weeks.

Of course I realize the payroll isn't that of some of the bigger markets, but they were hitting better with worse scrubs in the late 90's - where there's smoke .....

You can't make this shi t up. Wow.

Looks like my buddy and I will be collecting when the Nats win the NL East this year!! Bet $50 each on the Nats and Marlins to win NL East. We laughed to each other when the Phils were 1/2 to win the division, and 2.25/1 to win the NL. We might've been the only guys in Philly with realistic expectations of our team before the season started. You need your head checked if you were to bet the Phils at those prices, esp with the other teams getting markedly better and the Phils practically standing still.

Phillies are one thing, but you wouldn't catch us DEAD betting against our Birds! Foles for President 2016!!

Too bad for you Mikey, you guys would have really cleaned up betting last year against the dream team

last year.

eh, i would rather burn my house to the ground than bet against my football team. It's funny how people actually took a backup's idiotic attempt to garner some buzz and ran with it, but not nary a mention of Vick saying we have the potential to be a dynasty. People are selective I suppose..

I think alot of teams have potential (maybe a dynasty is a bit of a stretch). But Dream teams aren't supposed to flop (although they did get rolling late last season).

You gotta love the MLB spin doctors telling you that catching Melky and Bart shows us that the PED policy is working.

That's akin to horse racing saying we've caught Zaidie and Dutrow, proof positive that the drug testing is working and the sport is clean.

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I find it pretty amazing that Ryan Braun was able to avoid a suspension while three guys from the Dominican (Ramirez, Colon, Cabrera) and Marlon Byrd could not.

In any event, not to go all Skip Bayless on you guys, but if folks believe that there aren't a lot more guys out there who are using PED's (Braun included), then I have some great property in Antarctica I'd like to sell you.

Braun avoided a suspension on a technical issue not because MLB likes white jewish guys. Obviously MLB has learned from its mistakes in the Braun case.

Plus you forgot that noted slugger Freddy Galvis who also got 50.
