Judging by the trend this year, he should be excellent for the rest of July, and have about three hits in August. Doesn't bode well for October.

14-1 and Kendrick comes in.

Nervous?

I love the fact that they laid the farging hammer down today, especially on Derek Lowe.

Cole pitched great too. I'm happy he pitched today since it means there's no way he'll pitch during Selig's annual circle jerk.

This would have been the 10,000th win for the Braves franchise. I think the Phils did enough to shtein all over that celebration.

How weird is it seeing the aerial shot of the sports complex without the Spectrum there?

So sad...

QuoteJose Contreras' Season In Jeopardy
By Steve Adams [July 10, 2011 at 2:41pm CST]

Jose Contreras has suffered a setback in his recovery from a right forearm injury, and Will Carroll tweets that the setback is "very serious" and has the remainder of the season in jeopardy for the 39-year-old right-hander.

Contreras has been limited to just 14 innings due to injuries in the first year of the two-year, $5.5MM extension he signed with the Phillies this offseason. This setback is just the latest in what's been a season of bad luck for the Philadelphia bullpen. Both Brad Lidge and Ryan Madson are on the shelf, which has led to Antonio basticho's emergence as the Phillies' closer for the time being.

General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. has already said he's seeking bullpen help. The Phils have contacted the Padres about Heath Bell and Chad Qualls, and a serious injury to Contreras will likely strengthen their desire to add some proven arms to the back-end of the bullpen. MLBTR's Tim Dierkes listed some potentially available right-handed relievers last month, many of whom could now be on Amaro's radar with Contreras' future in question.

Heath Bell....what would that take?

Padres need bats. Rizzotti or Singleton?

Watched the game at a bar with a smoking hot bartender and a bunch of Braves fans. Life is good.
