I hope he does that at the allstar game

im not sure he can get off the ground to go Joe Carter

Theres the pitch he missed last AB!

ha ha that wide turn he made when he got hit made me think he was charging the mound. That would be something to see (I hope he practices ninjitsu)

ill be bet he said, could you please ask your pitcher to throw that one again

s***...

Its runs that I don't like and at least his BB/9 is low.

MLB should just raise the fences... not that they will ever do that $$$$

Good AB... need to run Phelps pitch count up

Well he cant really complain about that...

Good call, ump isn't falling for the frame 2 now.

Makes up for the s*** throw

Did you mean to title this the same as last nights GDT

Good start, Gardiner is a pita

That would be awesome but I don't think there is any way the Rays will trade two of their best players to a team in the same division... might as well throw in Longoria for this pipe dream.

I don't see the jays getting price. We don't seem to have the prospect depth that Tampa is looking for and we are in the same division.

Mets. First game I ever attended was at Shea Stadium when I was 10, July 1989. Glen Close (a friend of my moms) got us tickets. They were playing the Reds. Pete Rose was manager and a day or two before it had been revealed that he bet on baseball. This was one of his last games in baseball. Darrell Strawberry was slumping at the plate so the fans were booing him until he saved a HR and threw out a runner at second in one motion. The boos were replaced by screams of "we love you Darrell!". Eric Davis tore his MCL? or ACL? and was never the same again. A personal highlight was when unbeknownst to my brothers and I, Glen had prearranged to put our names on the score board it looked like this: THE METS WELCOME and Robin Williams and Billy Crystal I can just picture them saying "who the f*** are those guys?" Incidentally, our family recorded the game on VHS for us and sure enough, Williams and Crystal commentated a couple of innings with Crystal being the color guy and Williams pretending to be from Russia and scoffing at American rules. The real highlights came in the final innings. The night before, Juan Samuel (Mets), Tim Teufel (Mets), Norm Charlton (Reds) and Rob Dibble (Reds... who some of you may remember as the ass in "Best damn show in sports period") got into a fight. It started on the field when Dibble deliberately plunked Teufel who then charged the mound, (benches clearing) and continued into the locker room with Samuel beating the s*** out of Dibble. Samuel was benched for the game I attended and everyone expected Dibble to be suspended as well. In the late innings, Dibble came in relief with the Reds ahead. The fans started chanting DIBBLE! DIBBLE! like only a NY crowd can (I swear it was shaking the stadium). He walked the first batter on 4 pitches. The Mets pinch hit with Samuel who promptly crushed a ball over the right field fence. Mets win. So yeah, its the Mets for me. Here is a NY Times perspective on the game if anyone is interested: http://www.nytimes.com/1989/07/10/sports/samuel-s-homer-soothing-to-mets.html

Its funny that you mention Tennis. The Billy Jean King vs. Bobby Riggs is cited as an example of women triumphing over men. Riggs may have been past his prime, but he was a former #1.

Eri Yoshida, a female Japanese sidearm knuckleballer pitches or at least pitched in semi-pro leagues in the US. Apparently she learned to throw the knuckleball by watching Tim Wakefield on TV. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eri_Yoshida

I could see them shutting him down early like Washington did with Strasburg. His short stature makes him susceptible to arm injury.

I assume that Stroman will have an innings limit on the season. Should the Jays make the playoffs, it would be nice to have him in the rotation. Which is why leaving him in when the Jays are up 8-1 is totally stupid.

Sportsnet should platoon Zaun with that other douche that recently sat in for him... I cant take either for more than a game at a time.

The way he chomps his gum he is going to be the first pitcher to get Tommy Jaw surgery. f*** that sounds like one of my wife's jokes

Damn... this keeps up and he can pitch the 9th

Over/under on Stro pitching to all 3 batters?
