That one compliments of Tim Salmon.He has had a great career(even got a ring,)and atleast he knows he is done(retiring end of the season.)Still don't know why Tavarez nailed Salmon in the back (at 2nd base.)Estupido.

Angels and Red Sox. Kind of ironic that they are playing each other right now and each team is almost in identical situations as far as making the playoffs. Didnt catch any of last night's game Scuds, but I guess it must have been mildly entertaining. Each team needs to go on quite the win tear to stand a chance at catching their foes. I'm talking winning like 13 of their next 15 games.

Yeah,it's unfortunate that they have to play each other(and hack each other up.)I can tell ya one problem you had last weekend.Both Del Carmen,and Papelbomb(close e nuff) look much more at ease in this series(away from the Yanks.)In other words,the rivalry is a little much for guys that new to the situation.That series was so hyped that the younger guys felt they were in the Championship Series,and didn't perform like they could.That kind of pressure is new for them,and they will do better against the Yanks in the future.You guys have relied heavily on some rookies.

Ya Scuds, you and I cant be excited about trading a couple wins and losses, meanwhile wasting time as the Yankees and A's continue to win.

Who you rooting for in the postseason if your Halos dont go on a magical tear and catch the A's? Probably the same team I'll root for if the Red Sox cant do the same...the Dodgers!

Yeah,if the Dodgers make it.They haven't hit a lick against good pitching though.Big problem.Washington,Cincy,Florida,Colorado,and San Francisco was the streak.That bunch had 2 good pitchers(Schmidt,and Francis,)and they struggled in those 2 games.Padres simply bare down n' pitch fantastic against them,,and it works.They have to start hitting good starters ,or it's 3 in out(if they make the post.)

They're going to make it Scuds. They are a team of destiny this year in a division which lacks any other storyline. Penny and Lowe will be pitching in game one and two and I hope they play the Mets.

BTW,Penney really popped his hood last night.LOL...Ump was pinching pretty hard,and it's the last thing he needed against the team that has beaten them all year.Very frustrated team.They badly need to stop trying to slug,and start producing runs by getting Furcal on,and stealing 2nd...moving him over etc.etc..
