and you know they say the opposite in Chicago.

So do you think they play it with Ank everywhere because of the story or just here?

"Is there any division in baseball that is as stacked at one position as..."

I completely expected them to say “the NL Central at first base”

Instead, ESPN went with “the NL East at SS”

I’d take the NLC 1B over the NLE SS

How the hell is that an Earned Run for Lohse?

Or is yahoo box score wrong? The run would not have scored if not for the errant throw

can’t hit the zone any longer, i’d rather have Mulder in there to burn an inning or two, 13 pitchers on the rotation, his arm is the one to burn

People seem to think Mulder is going to just cough up

6 runs in the span of 3 seconds. If he loads the bases, I’d imagine we’d see someone else rather quickly.
