I wonder how many grand slams Mariano didn’t give up, in other words how many bases loaded jams he got out of.

Has anyone noticed how bad Hoffman has been this year? I wonder if he can’t right the ship of he’ll retire. That could create an opening for Mo to catch him as all time saves leader (which I’d like to see).

anyone know when the last time Mo let up a grand slam was?

After watching the 8th inning, I have to say that was a strange choice to bring Mariano in. It wasn’t a “must win” game and it’s not as if Chamberlain was getting knocked around. Give him a chance to get out of it!

Then I see they’re skipping Vasquez again? What kind of mind games are they playing with the guy?

[10] And Lemmy … can’t forget Lemmy.

Though I’d pay with the good money of my soul to be a fly on the wall when Death comes to take Mr. Kilmeister, I’m taking Lemmy and the points …

[1] yeah those calls were total horseshit.
[2] definitely – they are a very talented team, they have depth, and they wisely have stopped waiting on pat burell to do anything hence the dfa.
however, they have had a somewhat favorable schedule and have not had any injuries (though being younger helps with that and btw i am not wishing any injuries on them).
but although there is a ton of season to go – they look to be on top of the al east for most of it.

there is such an odd feeling after a game like today in which the loss is pinned on mo – i can’t be mad at him (especially since he got jobbed by the ump) because he is mo and the greatest ever, but it just feels so odd and wrong and i feel let down, like something is wrong with the world.
