Some people have mentioned Sandberg's name, but would he want to coach this team? :sweat:

Orioles beat Angels 6-3, Buck Showalter undefeated as O's manager!! :dancing:

Ted Lilly in his Dodger debut tonite. Second batter he faced was Miguel Tejada who promptly deposited Lilly's offering into the Dodger bullpen. :beaten:

:doh:

EDIT: Dodgers can back with two of their own in the 2nd.

Broxton tries to blow the game again by giving up an inning opening single, but the Padres can't capitalize... Dodgers win, 2-1.

Aside from the home run to Tejada, Lilly pitched well, giving up only two hits in seven innings. :victory:

True, but if the Dodgers are only to get 2 runs a game, they're still in trouble. :sweat:

Yup.

It's amazing how all of their bats have gone cold simultaneously. :sweat:

Actually reired the last 20, see what leaving Chicago all of a sudden does to you. :doh:
Sox won last night 3-1 behind 8 strong innings from Beckett, :applaud: one more against the Indians and then it's off to NY to face the...2nd place Yanks, :rofl: who lost agin last night while the Rays won, Rays also have the best record in MLB.

Ellsbury might finally be playing, about time.

That change of scenery always does wonders... But for how long? :sweat:

As long as the Sox can keep pace. :sweat: As a Sox fan, and I sure a few agree, not always sure what's better, the Sox winning or the Yanks losing. :twisted: In a perfect world, both. :mrgreen: Surprised no one has mentioned A-Roid's :usuck: milestone today, are you all too tired from celebrating? :crazy:

Thing is, are A-Rod's HRs tainted like Bonds' and McGwire's?

Wow, now Padilla's pitching a gem: two hits... Dodgers lead 4-0 in the 7th.

EDIT: Dodgers pound the Padres, 9-0.

Rays lost, so they just chopped another came away from their lead. :doh:
Sox were humiliated last night by the Tribe at home, 9-1. :shamefulcry: All facets were lacking, only offense was a Papi HR, Lester got hit hard and there were 3 errors. On to face the Yanks :usuck: this weekend, need to take at least 3 of 4, :fingerscrossed: need to do it without Youk who is now out for the season.

So many injuries this year, but this team wasn't doing well even before all the injuries.

Yeah, actually may have struggled more when they were at their most healthy. Sometimes it's a blessing, Lowell being out gave Beltre the FT job at 3rd, what a year he's had, :applaud: hit a GS tonight...must be a contract year. :doh:

Now if he could only play third place without all the errors. :sweat:

He was known more for his D than his offense until this year...think his last big offensive season was in a contract year with the Dodgers, :doh: another mistake made by the M's in signing him. :bleh:
