That was so disgusting, what they did to Willie. However, he's home at his McMansion in Franklin Lakes, NJ (home of that NJ Housewives show on Bravo), collecting his millions, appearing at Yankee Stadium, and laughing his a** off! And more power to him!!!
Well, congrats to your Phillies for getting Lee. After losing Santana to the Mets (one of the biggest boneheaded moves in baseball), I can't see the Yankees letting Halladay go to Boston. It would be a HUGE mistake.

And I'm really looking forward to seeing Pedro Martinez pitch, maybe as soon as next week. At least from what I'm reading, he is healthy for the first time in 3 years and is very motivated to prove he still has something left. I'm hoping he can rekindle some of that Pedro magic for the next 3 months. Ask him who his Daddy is!  I hope he does well. There were a lot of people who were pissed when he went to the Mets and not the Yankees, but it would have been a big mistake for him to try to fit in at Yankee Stadium. He never would have survived the heckling. It turned out to be a good thing re: his health, but that certainly wasn't my concern at the time.

i hear that lee and licuem will be pitching on saturday...if thats a case then this will be a rare sight of reiging cy youngs facing each other. Lee is pitching right now against the Giants and look awesome. The Giants had a rookie going, Sadowski. It looks like this will probably be his last start as a Giant, for this year anyway. Lincecum pitches tomorrow. The Phillies are definitely the best team in the NL. They have such an incredible offense, plus good pitching, especially with the addition of Lee. Goombah mentioned Garko as being a "mediocre-at-best" hitter. Giants fans are happy to have him. That just shows how bad the Giants offense is  . I enjoy the west coast games, especially on weekends. With start times at 10:15 pm it's a relaxing time to see a game. I cut up a watermelon and put it in the fridge and my daughter and I will eat it during the game. That sounds like a great thing Kly, and something I'm sure your daughter will think about the rest of her life. Eating watermelon late at night with Dad and watching a ball game.  Very special!

The Phillies have opened up the biggest division lead in baseball, but they are facing an interesting decision soon. Pedro Martinez struck out 11 in his AA outing, and reportedly is showing better velocity and command than he had in years. He's certainly not the pitcher he was 10 years ago, but he'll be joining the rotation withinin a a week or two. The Phillies are hoping he can give a good 6 innings each start.
However, the Phillies current rotation has Lee and Hamels, who won't be touched, Blanton, who is perhaps their most effective starter since July 1, Moyer, who, despite an ERA over 5, leads the team in wins, and the rookie J Happ, who is actually having the best season of all of them.
My guess is that Lee and Hamels will continue to pitch within a five man rotation framework with the four others getting regular work. The Phillies have only 2 off days in September and a couple of double headers. Also, they probably are thinking about Happ's innings as this is his first full year of MLB.
If the Phils hold on and make the postseason, I'm guessing their 4 man rotation will be Hamels, Lee, Blanton and Moyer.

I saw a film clip of Kevin Youkilis charging the mound and tackling the pitcher after getting plunked by a pitch. I have a sudden desire to reply to all of Blibble's Farmville requests on Facebook. That's FarmTOWN, not that cartoony FarmVille ripoff

TRIVIA TIME
1. Chuck Finley of the Angels performed this feat three times in his career. No other major league pitcher did it more than once. What is the feat?
2. Bob Meusel is not one of the most celebrated Yankees, but he has done this on the field more times in his career than anyone else in baseball history. What is it?
3. Hall of Famers Rickey Henderson, Nellie Fox and Pud Galvin, have this in common with present players, Hideki Okajima and Willy Taveras. What is it?
The following is a complete list of Hall of Famers that share something in common: Ernie Banks, Rogers Hornsby, Eddie Matthews, Joe Morgan, Frank Robinson, Nolan Ryan, Tris Speaker and Ross Youngs. What is it?

What is it? SC nailed the first and last ones. That last list is all 8 Texans in the Hall and Finley is the only guy to strike out 4 in an inning multiple times. Bob Meusel's feat was hitting for the cycle 3 times. About twenty guys have done it twice but Meusel did it three times. The answer to #3 is that all of these guys were born on Christmas day.

That Murderer's Row lineup was unbelievable... a fact like this would have ordinarily been REALLY known but it's lost in that lineup. I'm surprised that Gehrig didn't do it more often.
