Is a five run lead in the ninth enough for this bullpen?

I’m trying to watch the game on a free trial of MLB Mosaic, but whenever I alt-tab to read VEB, it keeps crashing on me. (64-bit Windows Vista) Anyone else having similar problems recently?

Speaking of wierd schedule...

did you see where the Tigers and Orioles start play on Thursday and the rest of the league starts on Friday? Leyland is madder than a wet hen, and I can’t say where as I blame him…when they asked Katy Feeney from the scheduling office about it, she said it was a “quirk in the computerized scheduling”...I guess it was the same “quirk” that caused the Cardinals to visit Detroit for three years running in interleague play…bad enough that you have these stupid unbalanced schedules…but I don’t see how you can tell a whole league they have 4 days off, except two teams, who have to come back a day early.

Ah, baseball in the Bud Selig era.

Big deal.

We’re playing on thursday, too. And seven other NL teams.

Buncha softies in the AL. Pitchers don’t want to bat for themselves, teams don’t want to play ball…

But having an unbalanced schedule and a wild card is stupid any way that you look at it

You can have one or the other, but having both doesn’t make any damn sense.

They say that it's never too late, but you don't get any younger...

AJ Burnett went 8 1/3 with 8 ks and 1 er.

Should have gotten him after his last performance (if we're gonna get him)

He was pretty craptastic in that one, and was on a string of TESS starts IIRC

Morning, guys. Rough night in the City of Angels, so I slept in and missed the win, Have enjoyed . . .

the first half of the season. Would never have predicted such success – magnified by having to overcome all the injuries. I dedicate this excellence to those of us who support VEB.

Look me up when you’re in the neighborhood.

Thailand it is - official name of Bangkok Krung Tep - City of Angels. . Though I did time in Los Angeles about 1000 years ago.

Thanks for asking. I’ll be off the air for a couple of days – root the birds on in my absence.
