Rumours on TSN saying that Dustin McGowan's career may be over due to complications with his injuries

I've been hearing those for a while. It's not looking to good for Dustin, apparently he's not making the progress he should be.

Good news on Marcum though, who will most likely be available towards the back end of the season - although Retardi says he doesn't want to rush him back. Fits whith what Shaun told me and he's itching to get back. Not sure JP will have much say in it tbh.

Let's hope not. Cueto tonight so we have a chance if we can lift that batting average. Not sure of the exact total but since Votto has been out we've been hitting something like .220 as a team lol.

Not bad going so far.

No sweep, thanks to an unsure rookie pitcher, some dodgy revlief play from League (no surprise there then) and one very determined Joey Votto. If we had to be undone by anyone, I'm glad it was Votto. After the very mature and candid interview he gave this week about his fight with depression, the lad deserves a break.

Phillies next and I'll be down the ballpark tonight cheering on Romero, who's been very impressive in his last couple of outtings.

Smoltz

He was pitching for the Braves when I saw my first ever live baseball game in 1992 lol (don't mean he was on the mound because I can't remember who was).

I love having ESPN.

Red Sox vs Braves
then
Mets vs Yankees.

Can't wait, hopefully I can stay up, Burnett was in fine form last night, finally showing why we gave him the contract, Wang will probably be out after 3 innings tonight, hopefully we can get him right as we'd have the best rotation in the baseball IMO.

I'm not sure which loss was uglier this weekend. The pasting on Saturday or the one we had several chances to win yesterday. Ah well, looks like I picked the right game to go to yet again. Hope that bodes well for Wednesday.

Doc returns tonight but the Rays do have a habit of getting to him so I'm expecting a really tough game.

Mets vs Brewers ; LOL

Errors in this game are great. The Mets are just bloomin awful arent they?

Someone has to be worse than us.



Just as I suspected last night against Tampa. Those buggers really know how to play us. It's bloody Garza tonight too. We'll hit fookall off him....I wish he played for us.

Great to see Papelbon get smacker around everywhere, hate the smarmy little git.

So the Wankees get to experience Eric '3 Pitch -Strikeout' Hinske

Wow
Bullpen sucked yesterday.

The White Sox have finally got a winning record.Time to hunt down the Tigers and take the division lead.

After 2 totally predictable losses at home to the Rays, nice to see Romero and the boys turn in a good performance on Canada Day. Romero is looking really good (kiss of death?)

I should get the Jays to give me free season tickets as I appear to be their lucky charm. They're 11-2 when I'm in the ball park. I've got a better winning record than Doc.

Aaarggh! Stupid MLB app has me blacked out for the Jays-Yankees game this afternoon. I'm stuck at work and can't watch it



Anyone know how to disable the GPS on an iphone?

Don't know how to do that, but what app is it that allows you to watch mlb on the iphone and how much does it cost?

It's called At Bat 2009. Can't remember how much it costs, it's worth every penny though (despite the problem I'm currently having).

Cheers, I'll check it out.

I've found a way to shut off the GPS but unfortunately the app also checks which tower I'm receiving my signal from so that's me fecked! Sneaky buggers the MLB are.

Crap weekend for the Jays. Pitching really let us down yesterday and now Richmond's on the bloody DL! With Cecil and Mills in the rotation and Halliday shakey after his stint on the DL the next week isn't looking good. Ah well, it was nice while it lasted but we knew that the starting rotation (or lack of it) would hit our season. I think under the circumstances we did damn well to stay in it for as long as we did.

Hoping that Romero and some timely hitting can avoid the sweep. It's worth a mention that Scott Rolen is on a 21 game hit streak, which is fantastic. When you add that to his amazing glove it's a shame he didn't make the All Star team, but he is facing some pretty stiff opposition at 3rd base. Congrats to Doc and especially Aaron Hill on making the AL team. Aaron had a decent shout last year til he ran into the Elf and missed the rest of the season. It's great to see he hasn't missed a beat. He's going to crush the club record for HRs in a season by a 2nd baseman.

Phew - no sweep. Another good job by Romero, a rare HR by Johnny Mac (made my day that did

), some outstanding defence (especially Bautista) and a bit of help from the umps saw us scrape through this one.

Bloody Eric Hinske messing up Ricky's streak of innings without giving up a run. He did manage to tie the club record for a rookie with 24. Rolen's hit streak now at an impressive 23 games too.
