1.5 games separates 2 to 5th place in central division it looks like a battle for last place lately lol

Thomsom thought Turner needed a rest after playing two consecutive

games, lol,. When I was 46 I once played 7 games (games were 7 innings) in one day, we were in an old timers tournament and lost an early game and had to come back through the losers bracket. The Phillies are off today but the manager figured he needed two days rest.

In a few hours I will be off to the PTA Rendezvous, after a rough year last year health wise, I am really looking forward to today.

Have fun and be safe driving

Nice walk off for the Padres over the Brewers last night. 2 outs, 2 strikes, HR!!! They never should of been in that situation though but the ump was god-awful.

Orioles 17 Yankees 5But it stil only counts as one loss

Cubs did great today. lol

One NL central team at .500 and only 4 above. Either more parity or more medicore teams. Brewers made several errors in their loss last night. For years they had some of the best starters with limited run scoring ability.l This year they have a pitching staff by committee and they can score more runs but they need to as well. Five years ago the Orioles traded out their stars and it took some time but last year and this year they are playing very good ball and they are still very young.

Cubs lose one day 11-1 and win 8-1 the next day vs. the same team. Phillies lost yesterday too and won today 12-1, same team. Crazy how that happens.

Cards are 1 above 500 for second time this year lol

Another Phillies win. Freid is looking tough on the Yankees, hopefully they can get to him.

I just read an article that the Phillies are putting Walker on the injured list for 15 days in hopes he finds his bread and butter pitch the "Splitter". Spencer Turnbull will take his place in the rotation, I hope Spencer can pick up where he left off when Walker came off the DL from the start of the season. Turnbull was pitching extremely well and I could not understand why they moved Walker in the rotation and Turnbull became a seldom used relief pitcher. Needless to say I am now a "happy camper", The Phillies now have a pretty good w/l record against teams with a 500 or better win percentage, they are now 15 and 9 against those teams.

I hope the Phillies keep winning. I'm going to have to root for the Braves in their next three games.

LOL, I find myself rooting for the Braves sometimes, I feel sorry for them. I was rooting for them against the Yankees.

The Indians are still hanging in there. They currently have the best record in the American League. 3 games at Baltimore coming up. They will be a good test.

Hey cards are moving on up, we are 2 games above .500

The Phillies got off to a good start on their trip to Detroit. Nola pitched pretty good in the 8-1 win and the Phils turned a triple play.

Good game to watch for the Phillies. Stupid base running helped with that triple play.lol

Cubs blew another one. I am done watching their stupidity for awhile. They can’t be competitive when they have nearly 30 plate appearances with runners on base, including twice with bases loaded and no outs and once with runners on first and third and no outs, and they put 4 lousy runs on the board. Starting pitcher does good only giving up 2 runs in 7 1/3. Then they bring in a guy in the 8th who pitches great to get out the 3&4 hitters to get out of a jam, and what does that retarded brewers coach do? He replaces him in the 9th only to a couple mediocre (at best) pitchers that give up 3 runs to lose the game.

With the trade deadline coming up the Cubs would be smart to latch onto a relief pitcher or two. It wasn't that long ago the Phillies bullpen blew games right and left. I still question some of the moves Thomson makes with his bullpen. I guess now days a relief pitcher is only good for one inning regardless of how well he does, I've seen the Phillies bring a relief pitcher in with two outs and only throw a couple pitches and get replaced the next inning. And yes, I've seen the new pitcher come in and blow the save.

Can’t call them the lowly cardinals any longer. I guess we will save that for the cubs now.

Brewers were happy to get out of San Diego—salvaged the last game to keep from getting swept in a four game series. Hoskins hit a grand slam to beat the rangers last night at home. Starters have been taxing the bullpen that they have shown signs of cracking. Now II heard they traded for Keuchel for a bag of balls. Going to see if their pitching lab can resurrect another 36 year old.

The Indians plucked the birds for the 2nd straight night. And now, for at least a day, the Indians have the best record in baseball. Sorry Nittany Lion.

They need some starters that can go 6 or 7 innings. They have the best bullpen in baseball but they are going to get burned out with the amount of innings they are having to pitch night after night.
