A win tonight, and the Bucs

conclude September with an 11-15 mark. That record would match April’s record. May was 13-13, June 16-11, July 13-13, and August was the dreadful 8-22.

August also featured 30 games in 31 days, which made the task of overcoming injuries even more difficult. In all, seven Bucs spent a portion of August on the disabled list.

Hart to Betancourt to get XP out?

by cocktailsfor2 on Sep 28, 2011 8:13 PM EDT reply actions  

Hart had to slide to make the catch, and it popped out of his glove.

Paul broke back to first upon seeing the ball hit Hart’s glove, and so they forced him at second.

Based on the line score, maybe I shouldn’t have turned off the radio when Tim said, “And things are falling apart for Locke here.”

It would be nice to finish with a win for so many reasons – avoid 90 losses, take a series in Milwaukee, hurt their playoff hopes….

It was fun while it lasted

Well…at least until we dropped out of contention. Not so much fun since.

I still call this season really good improvement

There’s still work to be done, but the end of this season is a disappointment. Last season it was almost a mercy that the season ended and they couldn’t lose any more.

Agreed

3 things to be very concerned about:
A) Pedro Alvarez
B) McCutchen’s second half
C) Getting repeat performances from our starting rotation.

I could list more, but…..

Yankees on their 11th pitcher of the game

Don't understand New York's strategy of

using pitchers in this game, especially after they took the big lead. Now it’s coming back to bite them in extra innings.

Holy shit

that was a RIDICULOUS night of baseball.

I was cheering so much with the ends of those games that my dogs were concerned!

The Yankees used their

pitching staff tonight like it was the all-star game. Understandable the game meant nothing to them in the standings, but the Yankees were in danger of using pitchers they didn’t wish to use had this game gone any further. Rays did them a favor by pulling out the win when they did.
