I read a great story about him in Sports Illustrated. Seems like a great guy as well as a great player.

Wow the Rockies beat Cole Hamels... Francis has a career ERA of over 5 against the Phillies but he did real well, and of course Mr. Holliday with a HR.

It was great pitching duel. It was the Cubs bullpen that blew it...so, don't be a NetEditor and be a box-score reader, mkay?

Marmol has done far too much for us for me to get upset with him about this. It was 1 bad game. Same with Soriano.
I'm not very upset about the loss, and am confident about tomorrow.

Without Marmol, the bullpen situation would've been
IMO...he's been great for the Cubs all year. But still...we had a gawddarned chance in this game!

What Would Don Draper Do?

"josh beckett's perfect game was stopped early on with a leadoff single."
beckett was indeed amazing.

Well whatever, all that matters is that the rest of the D-backs pitching isn't very strong. Livan Hernandez and Doug Davis, good luck winning the playoffs with them.

Fact of the matter is, the Dbacks needed this win. Although Z is our ace, he has been matched by Lilly and quite often, Hill. We have 3 solid SPs; they have 1.

The NL team with the best starting pitching got booted out in game 163 of the season.

Wow, ouch Philly, very big ouch, I can't believe they lost this one, despite the bounce back from Howard.
Holliday is just doing amazing, that guy is a beast.

Yeah, that's a crazy stat, I guess if stats defined outcomes the Yankees would win for sure.

Hell, the Royals could play a 5 game series against the Red Sox and prolly win it 30-35% of the time.

Yeah if you get to play your Ace twice, game one and game five, that's basically two wins, that's a big reason why the Twins got to the ALCS a couple years ago.

They are going to have a hard time beating Caroma, hopefully whoever is pitching for the Yankees can keep it close.
