Damn good game. National League really wanted it. Hope this doesn't cost the Cubs the WS.

My god what a horrible throw by Hart...

Wow, even the tag was close. At the begining of the 13th inning, guys were just swinging at everything trying to end the game, definitely a pitcher's game tonight.

Glad you west coast guys enjoyed it.

If FOX would have just started the game an hour later and added only one more 30-second promo between each half inning, I could have caught the end of the game before leaving for work this morning.

Why they brought Wagner in to face Longoria, I'll never know. Yeah, I can understand bringing in a lefty to face a lefty, but I'd much rather have Wilson out there than Wagner. Wagner IMO blew the game for the NL.

Not giving McCann an at bat lost it for the NL.

You gotta give Longoria credit. It's not like Wagner hung the pitch he hit. The guy hit a slider down in the zone and hooked it fair.

McCann missed the tag on the last play. HE blew it.

Tag would have been easier had Hart not rolled the ball there underhanded.

I really enjoyed seeing all those HOFers on the field during the player intros. Seeing them shake hands with the current stars was pretty cool.

White Sox win was tooo sweet!

Jeez.. are the Cardinals really getting that desperate that they are really thinking about bringing Carpenter back up to the majors already?

Let the guy get some more innings under his belt.. he's not ready to be a starter at the major league level imho.

Yeah, I jumped out of my seat when Dye hit that homer to take the lead.

Big win for the Sox and BIG loss for the Tigers.

John Lackey pitched a gem for the Angels as he just misses the 'No hitter' in the 9th inning. The result in the end was good for the Jays (they are still in the race) as Bosox loses but who would have thought that Tampa would still lead in the AL east at this time?

Any rumors of A.J. Burnett moving was put to rest by the GM as he said he was going nowhere.

Color me shocked that the Cubs handled Sabathia and Sheets so easily, especially the way Chicago has been hitting after the All-Star break. I think they can win at least one of these last two, especially with the way Dempster and Harden have been pitching this month.

Yankees aquire Pudge Rodriguez from Tigers. People are going crazy down here in PR (mostly Yankee fans here).

Are the Tigers giving up?

Looks like it. Huge boost up for the Yankees, they are only what four games behind?

Interesting...Griffey to the White Sox. Manny to the Dodgers, Jason Bay to the Red Sox...Pirates getting a bunch of crap.

XXXIV · Post by **XXXIV** » Thu Jul 31, 2008 5:19 pm

Griffey will help the Sox if he can pitch a few innings.

Manny will help the Dodgers Greatly if he can get going. That division is plenty ripe.

Pirates are a farm team...its sad for their fans. Any time anyone gets any good they trade em.

Considering Bay wasn't going to be in Pitt. much longer, getting Brandon Moss,Craig Hanson, Andy LaRoche,and Bryan Morris,is about as good as the Buccos were going to do. That gives the Pirates two LaRoches doesn't it ?

Hell of a series by the Cubs, who really started clicking on all cylinders at the right time. Classy way to go out by the Brewers, too

Maybe Gagne can spend his suspension watching tapes of when he was actually good. LOL

I like the move of J. Bay to the Bosox, although he would have done wonders for the Jays and their now well known RISP dilemma. Sure they'll miss a big clutch hitter in Manny, but Bay should do just fine, although I see the Yankees moving ahead of them very soon.

J. Torre must be a happy dude.
