Pineda keeps getting better. he has a limit to his innings this year doesnt he? hard for anyone else to win rookie of the year if he doesnt.

How about Wilson Valdez getting Votto and Bruce to fly out and picking up the win ?

Jo-Jo has appeared in 31 consecutive games (28 starts) without a win and Wilson Valdez picks one up in his only professional outing as a pitcher

Again, it goes to show how astonishing it is that Jo-Jo has not even lucked his way into a win over that time

Yeah crazy game though... I started watchng in the eight and still got 10 innings out of it... Brandon Phillips must be feeling like an ass today

lol.. wow, i'm guessing he was winging it

Brandon League has 20 saves , if he keeps this pace up for the Mariners he will get a hefty raise next season.

Also, Jeremy Accardo was DFA'd by the O's. According to Showalter he threw to many pitches that resulted in hard hits.

Randle McMurphy · Post #130 » by **Randle McMurphy** » Sun Jun 19, 2011 3:45 am

Yep, Accardo sucks. He's sucked for about three years now. It's still rather dumbfounding that the Orioles signed him and Kevin Gregg when they already had Koji Uehara and Jim Johnson.

Did anyone see the White Sox/Royals game tonight? Crazy ending.

SharoneWright · Post #135 » by **SharoneWright** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 5:31 am

Bucs/Braves just hit the 19th inning....

Post #136 » by **J.Kim** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 5:52 am

No one has scored since the 3rd inning. It's bottom of 19th right now.

Edit: As soon as I post, Scott Proctor drives in the game winning run

evilRyu · Post #137 » by **evilRyu** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 12:12 pm

That's always a great way to lower your team ERA.

How to end a 7 hour game? Call him safe! Wowowowowow. Worst call ever. :lol:

•Buster_ESPN: If there was ever an argument for five-man umpiring crews–with one in the booth, overseeing replay to correct mistakes– it was just made.
•Pirates pitcher Jeff Karstens, via the tweet of LangoschMLB: “”For some reason, somebody didn’t want us to play anymore. So the game was ended.”
•BizballMaury: Sun was in his eyes (I think Maury may be offering a touch of sarcasm here)
•Maholm28: Unbelievable game. I have never seen anything like it. Thats all I got (yes, that’s Pirates pitcher Paul Maholm)
•SeanEP1: Other 3 umpires looked like they wanted to crawl in a hole and hide.
•edrainey: I hear Jerry Meals has missed some time this year while serving on the Casey Anthony jury. May be why he is rusty. (Ooooh, ouch)
•dodgerthoughts: When does the Jerry Meals-Daniel McCutchen book come out?
•nvasconcelos: I’m just glad the human element of umpiring is preserved. That’s the important thing.
•joe_sheehan: McKenry tagged Lugo on the leg and then the arm. Maybe Meals figured they canceled each other out.
•4Who4What: I can name 5 bad umpires before I can even think of 1 good one. The ineptitude is amazing.
•DaleMurphy3 (yes, that’s the real Dale Murphy): On ‘swipe’ tags you usually see guys called out when they aren’t tagged, seldom do you see a guy get tagged, and then be called safe…weird
•allenw111: give me robot umpires, please…instant replay for all plays, I don’t care if it makes every game 4 hours long
•keithlaw: Holy …
Note: If you can render Keith Law mostly speechless, you know you’ve done something monumental.

Jim Callis: Took a couple of minutes there to Tweet about the Rays signing third-round pick Johnny Eierman for $550,000. Looks like Carlos Beltran is headed to the Giants. Back for some more questions . . .
