      Didnt expect series sweep,but taking 3 of 4 in ny and extending division lead to 3.5 games is huge!

        Cubs really could use a W today.. don't want to split series' against bottom feeders.
        It was a decent gamble because we basically gave up no prospects or cash to get him, but it's pretty clear that Haren is finished. He had a 5.43 FIP with the Cubs before today's short outing and it's clearly time to get someone else in there. He's done no better than the Donn Roach All Stars in the 5th rotation spot.

          Wow that looked nasty. Glad Rizzo looks okay, hopefully Hernandez is too.

          Ew, I just saw the close-up...he's very not okay. Yech.

              Unfortunately there really isn't anyone to replace him. Maybe they try Wada again, or Beeler.

                I HATE this bullpen...in the history of bullpens it has to up there with the worst of the worst. Mets down to a strike, nobody on, and down by three...no worries, Braves' pen to the rescue. Screw these guys...

                  What the crap...I've had some bad teams to root for, but none have ever been this hard to watch. I can't believe the ways we find to lose...

                    Could stretch out Cahill or Wood. Or take your pick of the AAA team.

                      Watching baseball highlight shows conveys the impression that the Mets and Blue Jays haven't lost a game in a month or something.

                        Nice extra innings win for the Pirates. Huge series with the Cubs starting Tuesday.

                          Why is it that, when I'm looking for the Royals-Orioles game on ESPN, I am seeing tennis in its place with the game nowhere to be found, including alternate ESPN stations?

                          And why is it also that, when I can't access this nationally-televised game (as well as the rest of the world I assume), that MLB.TV still restricts my access to see it because of the blackout policy?

                          Screw you, ESPN.

                            Did you check ESPN 2??? Because I just flipped it on and it's on. http://espn.go.com/watchespn/player/...ize/condensed/ also use that link and watch on your CPU.

                              Easily the worst since before 91.

                              It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

                                Sportscenter is on for me.

                                EDIT: Never mind, I didn't realize they switched ESPN 2 and ESPN News on DirecTV. Before when I checked ESPN 2, there was a commercial and I just assumed it was wrestling.
