A.J. Burnett coming in to pitch the 14th. Who wants to bet he blows out his elbow doing this?

Depends on the odds.

How about that Yankees pitching? Getting ready to push the Bronx Bombers to third place this year.

David Ortiz continues a stellar season. 1 for 5, lowering his batting average to .171.

Unfortunately, the Sox pitching tonight was just as terrible.

Yeah, but the Sox have better pitching overall. The only way it will be worse is if Beckett has injury/blister problems.

Oh, and Rumple, I understand your point about Ortiz continuing to struggle, but he actually raised his average tonight.

Re: MLB 08...The Cleanup Spot

Troy Tulowitzki just hit a two-run double, his first two RBI of the season. Man, has he been awful so far.

Also of note from the late games, Felix Hernandez got to stay in even though he had thrown 108 pitches through eight innings tonight for the Mariners. Responds by retiring the side on seven pitches in the ninth for the complete gamevictory over Oakland.

Don't you have anything positive to say? He's trying just as hard as everyone else, OOP.

Re: Felix

He can thank McClaren's decision to yank him after 98 pitches and eight innings (with a 3-1) lead at Baltimore earlier in the season for tonight's extended stay.

Bullpen coughed up lead and game. Bet that stuck in McClaren's mem bank.

He has been phenomenal this season. 1.47 ERA. Finished last April with a sub-2.00 ERA also; gunning to become the xxth (its a small number) player in MLB history to have back-to-back sub-2.00 ERA Aprils.

Re: MLB 08...The Cleanup Spot

I thought this thread was about the MLB 08 the video game. Change the title, por favor.

Yeah, it threw me initially as well.

Re: MLB 08...The Cleanup Spot

Same here. I even startred a thread thinking no one else had...

And for the record, I'm a Nationals fan, you loosers! (hi Moddy!)

You do your own taxes with that math acumen?

Eh, Ortiz isn't having a great season. I'll just leave it at that. Captain Obvious to the rescue, I know. But it has to be his knee that's bothering him, he talked about his mechanics, but his swing looks relatively fluid.

Re: MLB 08...The Cleanup Spot

It'd be nice to see the Royals get the one key hit to blow a ****ing inning open, but right now, it's not making no nevermind.

Meet Joakim Soria, he of the five saves.
