    Just watched the Rangers beat the Yankees.

    I haven't seen a team play with more fire than the Rangers played with tonight in a long time.

    Great ball game.

    The Rangers are slowly not out of it in the wild card hunt.


    P.S. Choke-Rod GIDP to end the game.

    I love him.

    I took the over in that game and his blown save guarantees I win. :)

    Ludwick is unconscious at the plate over the last 10 days.
    Just won NL player of the month and tonight hits a monster walk off HR.
    If he had greater name recognition he could be in the top 3 MVP voting.
    His numbers are slightly better than Utley (higher BA, tied in HR, more RBIs), better HR and RBI totals than Pujols.. and gracious, he leads all of baseball in slugging...

    Holy Toledo, Mike Hampton pitched 7 innings, gave up 2 runs and won.

    he said he feels bad about getting such a hefty number in the check book without pitching.

    If he is willing to take 2-3 M next year, would you want him back?

    I would. His sinker is still filthy.

    The Braves HAVE to have a big-time starter in free agency, whether it be Sheets, Sabathia, whoever.

    Hudson will be out a calendar year, so you do the math. lol

    i actually think he can still be a good pitcher. i know he feels bad about what happened but it got so ridiculous he deserves the jokes.

    seeing how the braves have no pitchers id pay more than what you said. i could be wrong but i they said his velocity and movement should be ok.

    I've watched all three starts so far and you can tell he is scared to get hurt.

    He tippy-toes and then gets in trouble and then he starts to let it go 100% when he is in a bind and he gets out of it.

    The Giants game was the 1st that he used his old sinker grip and the results showed.

    Longoria out with a broken wrist.

    With that hole in the lineup, any more likely they sell their soul to Bonds?
