Folks, are the Brewers done? I picked them to finish third in the Central with 85 wins. Based on their players and potential, most thought they would be competitive after their fast start?
Could it be that they are done?
They have fallen so fast and yet are still in it, though they are far from what they used to be…
We knew it was going to happen, but just a matter of when.
Everything is clicking, the pitching has been strong, the All-Stars are playing like All-Stars, A-Rod is a beast, Jeter is Jeter, and yes, they have JOBA.
Just when the ship looked like it was going to sink, and the high dollar contracts would prove futile and swallow the Yankees, they have stormed back.
Now, they have overtaken the Wild Card lead from the sinking Mariners.
After struggling for much of the season, the New York Yankees are back in a playoff position, sweeping the Boston Red Sox to take over the AL wild-card lead.
Oh joy. I don’t think they will take the AL East, but the Wild Card is theirs. As it looks right now, anything can happen…
I’m sure not a Yankee fan, but you have to give them props for storming back and making something of the season. We all may hate them, but they play the game the right way, and the talent on that team is so good that it cannot be understated.
I knew they were not going to be down for long, I’m just amazed the way they came back…
Are the Yankees at it again?
Roger Clemens dominated the Red Sox and the Yankees on Wednesday and they held onto for a 4-3 win at Yankee Stadium, pulling within six games of Boston and tying Seattle in the AL wild-card race.
Could the Yankees come back? Yes. However, I think they will not win the division, but they may take the Wild Card.
They may be the best team in baseball right now. Although, they struggled for the last first two months due to a lackluster offense and pitching, they have come back strong with a team built to win…
The Orioles have lost 8 in a row. The bullpen is a mess, and their offense is very much lackluster and non-existent…
After the 30-3 loss, and new manager Dave Trembley being hired, how can the Orioles have not won a game?
Over the past several years, the United States have taken back the Little League World Series supremacy after their Asian foes won consistently.
For the third straight year, the United States won the little League World Series. Dalton Carriker homered to right in the bottom of the eighth inning as Warner Robins, Ga., beat Tokyo 3-2 in a thrilling title game on Sunday.
Congrats!
Rebuilding.
No sports fan likes to hear that word; however, that’s what looks like is going on Houston. This time, the movement started at the top.
After going to the World Series in 2005, the Astros disposed of both their manager and GM. According to the AP, Manager Phil Garner and general manager Tim Purpura were fired by owner Drayton McLane, who said the franchise “needed a fresh start” after a plunge to the bottom of the NL Central just a while ago.
Texas Rangers vs. Baltimore Orioles; August 22nd - Game Two

Texas Rangers v. Baltimore Orioles; Aug. 22, 2007
Well, here are photos from the historic game on Wednesday, where the Orioles got whacked 30-3 by the Texas Rangers.
Hope you enjoy!
An article I wrote on the historic game on Wednesday that had the Baltimore Oriole getting whipped 30-3 by the Rangers…
I realize this is the DC Sports Box, not the Baltimore Sports Box; however, on Wednesday in the city to the north of us, history was made – for all the wrong reasons.
As we know, the Nationals are the team that reigns supreme in Washington, but only a few years ago, most baseball fans in region rooted for the Baltimore Orioles.
They had to root for them, not out of blind loyalty; alas, only because there were the only team in the mid-Atlantic to root for.
Thanks to mismanagement, Peter Angelos, nine consecutive losing seasons, the departure of Cal Ripken to retirement, a revolving door of managers, and fan apathy, the Baltimore Orioles have not had a lot to be proud of.
Now the indignity has gotten worse, at least for the time being.
On Wednesday, the Baltimore Orioles lost the first game of a doubleheader to the Texas Rangers, by a score of 30-3. According to the record books, it was the ninth time a major league team scored 30 runs, and not only did they set the American League record for the most runs given up, but the modern day record (games since 1900).
No, this score did not come from some beer league softball game and the Baltimore Ravens did not take on the Dallas Cowboys.
This was a Major League Baseball game score.
In a display of futility that has not been seen in a century, Baltimore starting pitcher Daniel Cabrera, relievers Brian Burres, Rob Bell, and Paul Shuey combined to serve up 30 runs – all earned.
For those of you who do not know, the Texas Rangers are a second division team in the American League Central, one stocked full of rookies and young players only getting their feet in the big leagues. Aside from All-Star Michael Young, Sammy Sosa, Kevin Millwood and former National Brad Wilkerson, you would not know most of the team if you saw their faces on milk boxes.

Chase Utley, and now Cole Hamels!
In a major bloe to the Phillies, the All-Star left-hander was placed on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday with a strained elbow, a major blow for a team in the hunt for an NL East title and the wild card.
Webb had his scoreless inning string stopped at 42 in the first inning of the Diamondbacks’ 3-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday night.
I … was … there….
The Texas Rangers were first team in 110 years to score 30 runs in a game, and set am American League record Wednesday in a**-whipping of the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards.
In my mind, I am still thinking, “we lost to the Texas Rangers?”…
Well, if you are going to lose real bad, make it memorable.
Ok, so tonight’s game was a total fluke. I’ll say Wednesday night was one of the most fun nights of my life recently. With pretty much open seating tonight here (one of the ushers told me as I entered in the lower bowl, “sit where you want, just don’t sit in the first row…”), you knew the night was going to be something else…
Wow…
