I wouldn't call last night a "great" win. Dbacks had bases loaded with no outs in the 10th. They just suck.

Can Dice extend the Red Sox losing streak to 3.

Almost half way there people as I continue my super picks from 2009.

Great game for Pedroia- First Red Sox to hit 3 home Runs in a single game since Kevin Millar in 04. Great series overall even if it went to the Dodgers.

Wow, these Rangers are even better than they were last year. This next series between us will be an uphill for us. I am going to two of the three games in this series. I will still cheer when Vladdy comes up to bat (in fact, I will be wearing by Guerrero shirt to these games). This rivalry could go up if the Rangers keep this pace.

Hey Gun. Nice to see that you came out of your hole after 2 shitty Red Sox losses but I guess you had to let Paps crawl in there.

And you say great series even though you were bragging that the Red Sox were so hot coming in with a 6 game winning streak.

But any true baseball fan would be more upset that their closer blew two wins for the team in the 9th inning. Or did you even know that as maybe you don't understand how to read a whole box score?

And LOL, Mr Baseball expert. Mr I am Never Wrong. >>> They played Colorado and not the Dodgers. LOL!!! Da!!!

True, and Im not that messed up over that, they were 3 really good games that came down to pitching, no real blowouts, and good job saving the series against one of the worst teams in the Nationals, we'll see how you do against the Dodgers. Hey Grill, if you could ever find the time to take attack mode down, is this the first time the Yankees have played against the Dodgers with Torre?

Sure I can but remember this is the first civil message you have sent me in a month.

So all is fine.

You're always the first to attack my man, Im just there to respond. Is this the first Yankee's Torre match up though?

Yup. As I am in New York the papers said this was the 1st time Torre is facing the Yankees. Also Torre hasn't been back to Yankee Stadium yet. But Torre watched the WS to root for his old players.

So CC and Arod are really starting to heat up, and since most of the other Yankees playing OK/Good. Yanks looking very good.

And the Mets still on first place's doorstep. Maybe today, Santana will get some run support as his ERA is a pretty good 3.33 ish.

Well just checked the score and looks like Santana had a bad first inning so the Mets are going to have to save him today.

3.33 is not "pretty good"
It's very average.

So what would you consider a pretty good ERA?

In the NL, anything under 3.
In the AL, anything under 3.25.

Well I have to check the stats on the computer. I see from my cell phone that there are only 20 pitchers in all of MLB with an ERA under 2.90.

So I have to see how the numbers work.

Which means there are 20 or so pretty good or better pitchers.

Still haven't checked but still disagree. And that is why I still say up to 3.50 is a pretty good ERA. Average is over 3.50.

And great is somewhere in the 2s.

Man, Sox are battling but these injuries are rough ones. Pedroia gone for 6 weeks now, and Bucholz is taken out in the 2nd inning after hitting his first single and injuring himself, hope he pulls through. No Bucholz, Pedroia, Ellisbury, Becket, and Drew is 5 names you don't want to see on DL.

So again a pitcher gets hurt. Clay B from Boston. Running the bases. And just like I said when the Yanks Wang got hurt years ago.

I don't like pitchers hitting as they have enough to do in a week to get ready to pitch. They can't send enough time worrying about hitting and running the bases.

Pitchers are treated like little girls.

Wrong Clueless one. And as they are called pitchers, they is what they are paid for and supposed to do.

Up until the major leagues, EVERY PLAYER bats.

Matsui hits his 150th homerun, and it was in Grand fashion. Go Godzilla!!!

If Lincecum has a bad game, he goes into the average column > as this is what he started with today > 2.85 ERA

Oops, a run in the first and he is up to 2.92 > kindof crazy Munk how he is average with an 8-2 record.

but sorry I forgot, you are wrong.

He won't go above 3.
