And that's incredible that the Mets got Wheeler for two months of Beltran. Very short-sighted move by the Giants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) Remember when Justin Upton was 'available'? Yeah. And where are the Diamondbacks right now with Dan Haren at the front of their rotation? One of the worst trades of the last twenty years. That's not even KW bad.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Why again did it take 58 years for Tampa to call up Jennings? All this guy's done in 6 games is collect 11 hits (including 3 doubles, 1 triple, 1 HR). He's been on base a total of 15 times. Scored 5 runs. 4/5 in stolen base attempts. Yeah, call him up sooner and you might be a little closer to Bos/NY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Surviving a potentially dangerous second inning, Jackson limited the Cubs to seven hits as the Cardinals beat the Cubs for the sixth time in seven meetings this season.  Jackson said had some "anxiety" in his first Cardinals appearance. "It didn't start out the way I wanted it to, with a leadoff walk," said Jackson, who praised one of the Cardinals' best defensive efforts of the season, especially from the outfield, which had two assists and a sliding catch from center fielder Jon Jay.  David Freese's three-run homer in the fourth inning off Matt Garza was a significant blow for the Cardinals, who also got two doubles good for three runs by Ryan Theriot, who is fighting to retain his shortstop job, although he wound up at second base on Friday.  But the most monumental hit, as it often does, came off the bat of Pujols.  "He's one guy who's not very (much) fun pitching to," said Jackson. "It was a great, great accomplishment, 2,000 hits."  The Cardinals moved into second place in the Central Division, still 1½ games behind Milwaukee but a game ahead of Pittsburgh. Jackson, who took Kyle McClellan's place in the rotation, was relieved by McClellan in the eighth. Jackson issued only two walks and hit one batter in throwing 66 strikes out of 95 pitches.  McClellan retired just one of four men he faced as the Cubs rallied in the eighth, but Jason Motte stopped the uprising by getting a strikeout and then benefiting from Jay's catch.  Jackson was nicked for the only run he allowed in the second inning, but some suspect baserunning by the Cubs helped short-circuit the inning.

fathom Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 It's not amazing that Pujols has 7 homers in 52 career at bats against Dempster. What is amazing is that he's only struck out once against a righty with above average stuff in those 52 at bats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
