Come on, Mets! Hurry up and win this game, so the Reds can have sole possession of first place again (at least for the next 24 hours )



*darn it!! Mets let me down in the 13th.

Unreal. Baltimore is now 33 games out of first after 101 games and on pace to lose 112 games. Their run differential is an astounding -191. That's very close to an average 2 run loss per game.

They do that every year and then lose in their first play-off game to the Yankees.

And the hits keep coming! 21 baby! What a close game tonight. Wilson could not handle those Marlin bats. Luckily we now have a stellar offense to back up the bullpen.

Starting to wonder if Baltimore will start being part of contraction talks.

Not as bad as those stupid cow bells in Tampa or those vuvuzela's in Toronto.

The Astros have agreed to send Roy Oswalt to Philadelphia, but Oswalt has to agree to waive his no-trade clause. Oswalt has wanted any team that traded for him to agree to pick up his 2012 $16 million option and the Phillies will not agree to that, but he may drop that demand or the team could work on a compromise.

25 at fed ex is like a hike lmao even $50-60 parking at fed-ex is more then 6 blocks... We park in the $100 lots for Redskins games.

I think Baseball is much more reasonable (or maybe the O's are just that bad that it seems reasonable) Nats single game parking is only $40 and you park in the garage that you see on tv literally in the stadium.

the parking garage at the stadium is 20 bux which isnt too bad.... if you go a lil bit outside the stadium too its usually like 15 bux...

We left in the 7th inning. Took us about 25 minutes to get back to the car.

We parked pretty close, but it was $23.

That's not too bad. I'll have to park @ the stadium the next time I head out there.

Bleh sounds like the Phillies think this move will help them a lot, I'm not so convinced.

Well at least there aren't many people in the stands in Tampa or Toronto, which limits the effect.

Bumgarner is on the mound today and hes been pretty solid.. gonig 4-0 in his last 4 starts giving up only 4 runs

The Nationals placed Stephen Strasburg on the 15-day DL. This isn't a huge surprise. With no real chance at the playoffs the team is going to be very careful with their young ace.

Had a feeling when the kid couldn't even warm up properly for his last game.

Orioles reportedly hire Buck Showalter as manager

ESPN analyst Buck Showalter will be the next manager of the Orioles, ESPN.com reports.


Showalter, former manager of the Yankees, Diamondbacks and Rangers, will take the reins Tuesday against the Angels.


The Orioles, who have struggled to a miserable 31-70 record heading into Thursday’s game vs. the Royals, fired manager Dave Trembley last month. Juan Samuel has been serving as the interim manager.


Showalter, 54, is 882-833 as a major league manager.
