No love for Sanchez pitching the years first no-hitter, then?

zuutroy · 13-07-2009 12:12pm

More love for Juan Uribe costing him a perfect game!

zuutroy · 13-07-2009 10:18pm

I hope Doc doesn't get traded. Its far and away the worst thing that could happen in terms of my enjoyment of baseball.

Who you think has the talent to get him if it does happen? Lets assume they wont trade in-division. So the main guys will be phillies/dodgers/mets/angels??

Id hate to see it happen but the red sox would have the depth to make it happen!

It looks like Phillies, Angels, and maybe Tigers at the moment. Ricciardi is such a moron.'Oh 2010 is our year', 'oh no actually we're gonna trade the face of the team'.
Attendance will die a death if this goes through. He really has the anti-Midas touch. Lock in wells to a ridiculous contract and he turns into a bum, Rios doesn't care, I just learned today that Ryan was released (a week ago, dont know how I missed it) and they're eating the $15M he's owed.
A complete mess of a team.

zuutroy · 16-07-2009 11:43pm

2 weeks to hang on

I say keep him. Everyone's contract is up next year anyway so just go out with a blast in 2k10 and then start again.

eagle eye · 18-07-2009 12:09am

Looking forward to tonights game against the Blue Jays. Clay Buckholtz gets a chance to impress, hope it works out for him, I really think the guy is going to be a star. Now he has a chance to put himself back in contention, his form for the pawsox has been incredible this year.

zuutroy · 19-07-2009 10:58pm

What a legend. After all the talk and with the whole league watching his every move, to come out and do that is just brilliant. Hands down the best in the game.

zuutroy · 23-07-2009 9:10pm

OMFG what a catch by wise to keep Buehrle's perfect game alive.

EDIT: And there it is!....First one I saw live!

tolosenc · 23-07-2009 9:30pm

I saw ESPN say 24 up 24 down and I raced to get the game on my screen. Man-o-man, what a catch, what a game. Congrats Mark Buehrle!

It's actually his second 27 batter game (first April 17 2007).

2 amazing pitching performances in 2 weeks!

So Doc says he's going to test the free agent waters in '10 meaning this is his last year in Toronto most likely

He's I think the only one left since I started following baseball and the Jays in 2000. Will be weird to see him in another uniform. Wonder if I can find a way to get there for his last home start?!

tolosenc · 24-07-2009 12:42pm

O's (3 games) and Seattle (4 games) in TO. September 21 - 27. It'll be one of those (barring a stint on the DL). Air Canada still do their Dublin-Toronto flight at that stage, I think. I certainly was on it on Sept 20th last year.

Xavi6 · 24-07-2009 6:38pm

Superb effort from Buehrle last night. Watched extended highlights today and even though he was helped by some excellent fielding his pitching was quality. Just a pity he plays on the wrong side of town! :pac:

That catch from Wise was magic.

Incredible performance all around .

I am never more homesick for the southside of Chicago than moments like this.

zuutroy · 24-07-2009 10:43pm

meh, remember you'd have to listen to The Hawk talking crap for the other 161 games of the year

Doesn't bother me in the slightest.

It should.

califano · 27-07-2009 8:32pm

How about those Cubs:)

tolosenc · 29-07-2009 12:12pm

Watch ChiSox@Twins last night. Buehrle was perfect through 5 when I fell asleep. Very disappointed when I woke up to find out he hadn't done it. 45 straight retirements is something else though. Cooperstown calling?

Angelicus_22 · 30-07-2009 11:25am

i am a casual observer of MLB, but i fancy the Red Sox and Texas tonight...any opinion??

8-10 · 05-08-2009 2:14am

Anyone bored I'd turn onto the Arizona v Pittsburgh game in the 8th now.

I'm not gonna jinx anything but let's just say I'm delighted I brought Arizona in as my fantasy pitching team this week....

You jinxed it. :P

M007 · 05-08-2009 12:22pm

will be in new york over the w.e.- how much should i spend on tickets for game v red sox! I know it's a bit of a stupid question but at what price is way over the odds. Should i just wait for the games on monday or tuesday- forget who the yankees are playing on those days.

zuutroy · 05-08-2009 12:26pm

I would guess that you will struggle to get tickets at all, and if you do they'll be over $100 to sit anywhere in the stadium. That's just a guess though.

M007 · 05-08-2009 12:36pm

yeah checkin for tickets on stub hub the tickets for bleachers are around 100. Think i'll wait for monday- same tickets are goin for 11. I know it won't be the same class of game but just want to see the new stadium really.

tolosenc · 05-08-2009 2:36pm

It's says the bleachers are 14 bucks. Jays are in there next week, I think.

Looks like it! He looked very sluggish in the 8th anyway, wasn't hugely surprised.

Hynzie · 06-08-2009 2:17am

More injuries for the Mets. Cant wait for this season to be over. What a disaster!!

Sox @ NY in a period of genuine competitiveness between the two, in a real fight for the Division - for an Irish tourist that's once in a lifetime experience. Skip the Statue of liberty, pay the 70 Euro!!!!
