Go Mets! Never know about that silly Brew Crew though!

 

You can't count on the Mets. We are struggling especially in the bullpen. Brew Crew can hit.

Makes you scratch your head and say why did I stay up anyway .

[NFLfan]

What do you guys like about the Rockies? I cannot name anyone on the Rockies. Do they play the way the Royals played a couple of years ago when they won it all?

I cant really name too many players on their team either but they play great fundamentally sound Defense and seem to get timely clutch hits this season to win games. Not sure it will last because the Dodgers are in that Division but with the Giants stinking the joint up they could make the Playoffs.

Yep. The Pirates never led until the winning hit. That has happened a few times to the Mets. Their bullpen is terrible. They have been overused because the some of the starters have been injured.

I think it will be a battle between the Rockies and Dodgers . I think I fear the Rockies more

That wears out a bullpen its much like leaving a defense on field in NFL for way to many minutes

[Jay Kirk]

Waino thru 6 3 hits no runs , has allowed only 1 run in last 20 innings

Very good comparison. You're right. 

 

I checked the Rockies lineup. The only one I know is Ian Desmond. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

So far in the NL I like what I see from the Nats, Rockies, and Dodgers. I think teams like the Diamondbacks and Brew Crew will fade. Regarding the NL Central the Cubs and Cards have been inconsistent but still above .500 - that is going to be a 2 team race once August starts IMO.

Cards just won 3-0. I seen the end of it. So they and the Cubs are tied for 2nd. Cubs are at 25-23, Cards at 24-22. Brew Crew at 26-23 in 1st.

Still too early to worry about who is in first place, especially when you are a half game behind. 

 

If you had to make a trade, what would you trade for?

 

For me, it would be for help in the bullpen. They stink pretty bad right now.

The Cards could stand middle relief , however no need for trade they have it in Farm system , I look for moves in that area real soon.

IMO the Cubs have made their "trades" in bringing up Ian Happ and Eddie Butler

BullPen is a major concern. I hope the Cubs can pick up another Pitcher to help out by mid season. Last season when we brought in Chap that really helped.

[HOZER]

Welp, lets see if we can get out of LA without getting swept. Lets go Cubbies!!!

[HOZER]

CONTRERAS WITH A HR AFTER 12 PITCHES!!!!! 1-0 Cubs

[HOZER]

Well that didn't last long.
