    Marlins gave up, huh?

    Read that they barely brought anyone up when rosters expanded and then they didn't bother pinch hitting once in the series.

    Well I think the guys out there played hard. Game on Tuesday was a slugfest battle. Not to say that the franchise itself hasn't given up. They are just pathetic this year, kind of like us until a couple weeks ago.

    Still only 5.5% chance of making playoffs according to espn, not that I have much faith in their projections.

    It helps when Cliff Lee has a 0.33 ERA in his last four starts.

    It's weird, I haven't watched a second of a phillies game in months until I caught the end of yesterdays when I got home. Just read that after and was surprised. Not one pinch hitter in the series was pretty surprising. That entire franchise does blow. I thought they were going to be good this year.

    Just looked at all the box scores and they used at least one PH in each game, batting for pitchers. They didn't bat for anyone except for pitchers, but they did use pinch hitters.

    Yeah, it was probably position players I was referring to. The NL is cute :lol:;)

    Only thing that kinda sucked about the last few games was not seeing Darin Ruf hit. I so wanted to see his first MLB at bat.

    I think the AL is on to something. Maybe they can try a lineup of DH's 1-9 and just have 9 other guys to play the field. We wouldn't want any position players hurting themselves running the bases, :lol::lol::lol:
    Alright, alright, alright!

    He doesn't really have very good stats this year but the team's record with the R6 is much better than without him. I can see both arguments, honestly.

    He's infuriating to watch much of the time, but somehow he's an integral part of the team.

    I hope we don't have to blather on about this for 8 pages now. :roll: We should just sit back and enjoy what could be the franchise's polar opposite of 1964 (or 2nd such instance if you include 2007).

    zero correlation between the team's recent run and the blob being back. just look at the pitching numbers (esp the bullpen) and the production out of the 4 'hole' in the lineup

    For shits and giggles, I think the nerd in me is going to run a regression analysis to find out. I'll post the results when I got it all wrapped up.

    Stop it.

    Only 3 Yankee Stadium specials this year

    Edit: What is even more shocking to me is that he has 4 that would be out of all 30, 1 with 27 and 1 with 26. Dude is awesome, that's a fact.

    I hope there's a 5 way tie for the 2nd wildcard. For anyone who says it wasn't a good idea having a second wildcard are out of their minds.
