mets bats were dead in series against the astros, we are 3 games back and need to pick it up against the lowly padres.

I would refer to my thread that was called "WTF is wrong with Billy Wagner?"

lol seriously playing October baseball is going to be really hard when your bullpen is playing as it is with the likes of Wagner, Heilman and Duaner Sanchez. It's not looking like they have what it takes to win a series.

[cruzg24]

Yea our bullpen is sad at times and we should have made a move, but we need to move on with what we have.

[Phistar]

definitely feels good to be on top again

[cruzg24]

ok 2 games back now and mets game just started so lets try to keep pushing towards that 1st place.

scary performance from Heilman last night, I'd be worried if I were you

Tim Lincecum of the Giants goes 8 strong innings today, he has best the ERA and most strikeouts. Definitely my favorite fantasy player.

[cruzg24]

bullpen worries will always be there from almost every team, they just need a little rest, our bullpen i believe has been the most worked on this year so not good. Good news is we´re facing the pads who swept us last time out, lol.

not a good start for Pedro

Great to see the Red Sox come away with a series win on the road especially at KC, Where the Red Sox have struggled the past couple of years. Bring on the White Sox!

[cruzg24]

walk off by my fav player d wright baby!!!! ok still 2 games back and a series win against the padres. We just need to hang in there and play tough, the loss of wags will hopefully make others to step it up.

[Phistar]

i knew those SOBs of phillies would lose earlier tonight

Did anyone else think Jim Edmonds was done after the Padres released him?

I thought he was toast. He's having one hell of the season playing for the Cubs.

Coincidentally I came into this thread to talk about Edmonds and then I see your post. After Edmonds was released there were rumors swirling that the Cubs were interested and I was one of the very few Cub fans who actually pulled for Hendry to pick him up and here he is batting .284 with 14 dingers and 38 knocked in in only 56 games. He came through in big fashion yesterday against the Cards with 2 homers along with an incredible diving catch. It's great to see Cards fans fussing over Edmonds being a traitor after he almost single-handedly beats them to push them 7 games back in the division.
