Wild pitches during an intentional walk do occur every now and again. Pitchers aren't used to throwing deliberately wide, so sometimes they over do it.

definitely not on purpose.  he just wasn't paying attention.
Yeah but that one you linked was ridiculous.  It's almost like he did it on purpose because he didn't agree with the decision to walk the guy.

Matt Harvey out for the year and next year.

Says he won't get the surgery.

Maybe I am mistaken, but don't a lot of players get better after the surgery?


The only things more annoying than the Arod thing going on with my team are:

1) David Ortiz making comments? ummm dude, you juiced and NEVER faced the music.

2) First he was in trouble for NOT helping the investigation, and now he is in trouble for being a rat? how does that happen?

3) The Yankees (who I love, but...) are trying to garner enough support from fans from all over to void his contract, (and it's working) while no one had any trouble paying these guys (yankees, sox, marlins WS teams) when it was making them $$.

4) Ummmm why does he have a separate "secret suspension", and how does the players union not call bulls**t on that? you can't have a penalty and then make one person's suspension MUCH worse just because fans don't like him.  I don't feel bad, don't get me wrong, but huh?!?!?


And everyone who knows me knows that I loved Arod and was willing to give him a second chance.  Even a third chance, but like come on dude... the guys skill set was so amazing that I bet his improvement from the juice was minimal anyway.  What a dongbag.
But still, the yankees are doing him dirty.

Since I am already hijacking the thread after a long hiatus...

UK Redsox, you coming to the bronx this year? Let me know, I haven't seen the yankees get swept by the sox yet (although for them to get swept, it doesn't have to be by the sox)

I won't be over this year. Work problems and then an operation mean that this'll be the first year since 1997 that I haven't been Stateside at least once.

The Mets are having a "Marlon Byrd" T-shirt giveaway at tonight's game.

In typical Mets cock-up fashion, guess which player they've traded this afternoon !

The Pirates need two more victories to have a winning season for the first time since 1992.   Giddy times indeed!

[UK Redsox]

The Red Sox have clinched a place in the playoffs. That's a surprise given their form over the past couple of years.

The Dodgers have clinched the NL West.

Magic number is now 4 for the Pirates.  They open a 3 game home series against the Reds tonight, their division rivals and play-off spot rivals.

"The Pirates make the playoffs............ theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Pirates make the playoffs"

First time for 21 years
