ok I MIGHT buy that argument if August wasn't his BEST month by far
so Kendry had an outstanding 450 abs and then instantaneously he’s figured out and is worthless???? I doubt it. He can hit a ML fastball, he is a great off-speed hitter, dude is just expanding his zone…. maybe because he wants those 100 RBI’s really really bad I dunno. He finishes this year and the postseason off this bad and then has a bad April and May and then I’ll say the league figured him out, but also who knows if he’s fighting some kind of injury too. A player tweaks his knee or an elbow or even a finger and it can mess him up good.
I coached and managed in LL when my boys were younger, and know how tiring and thankless a job it can be. This by chance isn’t the league that made it to the Western Regionals in San Bernardino, is it?
Exactly how wrong would it be to wish Howie Kendrick had replaced a certain dude named Adenhart in a certain car right now? Hank is 7 runs below a zombie replacement at first base. Do you realize how terrible that is? Zombie’s can’t think, they’re slow, and they’re often ejected from the game for eating opposing baserunners’ brains. – Ben quantifies Hank Blalock

hey Mickey Hacker you haven’t had to really do anything all season, how about now you get off your stadium cushion and get the dude to relax and just swing how he was swinging again?
GO HALOS

9 outs

K-Mo last 8 games
5 for 31. 11 strike outs. and ZERO rbis
RexTookMyStash - September 20, 2009
somebody told him he has 98 rbis
and he froze
clover_black - September 20, 2009
8 games is NOTHING
MH252525 - September 20, 2009
His whole sept has sucked
but yes, i’m aware of his overall performance.
I just hope this doesn’t carry over into the playoffs. Pitchers seem to have him scouted down to a tee, especially when he behind the count.

Are you a coach, manager or league official?
Just wondering.

Official. I take care of the website.
my avatar has retired from the game, for now. www.waipiolittleleague.org

Cool, just wondering.
I coached and managed in LL when my boys were younger, and know how tiring and thankless a job it can be. This by chance isn’t the league that made it to the Western Regionals in San Bernardino, is it?
halofolife - September 20, 2009
Not this season. That was a team from Maui.
But last season we did, and then we made it to Williamsport, and then we Championed the World.
And volunteering in baseball is some of the best baseball around.
eyespy - September 20, 2009
Great job volunteering eyespy, and good luck to your LL.
Aloha Brah!!!!

wow tigers are really close to losing the division.
SenorChuckles - September 20, 2009
i hope the Twins make it only so it will guarentee Mauer the MVP
screw Jeter
Scotty G - September 20, 2009
what kind of chances do they have against NYY
if they do indeed make it, do they have the pitching?
SenorChuckles - September 20, 2009
if you ask me the Yankee's will steamroll the winner of that division
Scotty G - September 20, 2009
well considering Sabathia's next good playoff start will be his first
and A-Rod chokes in the playoffs, I’d put their chances at like 30%.
Also you can always go to betting sites to get a good idea about their chances. Vegas has NO rooting interest.
MH252525 - September 20, 2009
Cant wait for Oct.
SenorChuckles - September 20, 2009
Hot Wild Card teams always have a chance.
2002 comes to mind.
eyespy - September 20, 2009
Twins were 5.5 games out on September 13th
Fan Since 1981 - September 20, 2009
i think the triple was the final nail in hte coffin

Yes.
clover_black - September 20, 2009
was Bulger on our playoff roster last year?
MH252525 - September 20, 2009

Mathis, HIT THE BALL DAMN IT!!!
Or no pizza party for you.
halofolife - September 20, 2009
Wrong Mathis....
Had a rough night last night, nuff said.
halofolife - September 20, 2009
A lot of good NFL games today.
SenorChuckles - September 20, 2009
whoa whoa whoa
GMJ 2-2 with 3 RBI’s?
Really?
norcaliangelsfan - September 20, 2009
and a running mess up
and a HR
Figgi4life - September 20, 2009
he's been doing well
honestly I am becoming a fan
princeton11loveshalos - September 20, 2009
GMJ is attempting to increase his value
Slyintine - September 20, 2009
If the Angels win
magic number 7?
Figgi4life - September 20, 2009
yes
norcaliangelsfan - September 20, 2009
Oh man
Mathis vs Mathis.
I always wanted to see this match up
Slyintine - September 20, 2009
A nightmare worthy matchup
halofolife - September 20, 2009
you can tell your grandchildren someday about that glorious event
clover_black - September 20, 2009
Amazing
A truely historic moment in Baseball history
ryanfea - September 20, 2009
mathis has a nice looking swing.
for what its worth.
clover_black - September 20, 2009
I think I saw that at angels stadium
our mathis lost that battle
angels won the game
princeton11loveshalos - September 20, 2009
Looks like Mathis won

vlad IS my man - September 20, 2009
Whoa! Where exactly did that ball clear?
The short-porch in right? Over the 377 marker? Or was it closer to the 407 sign?
Fan Since 1981 - September 20, 2009
Not sure.
I think that was at least 370.
Arlington has a HR heavy park
Slyintine - September 20, 2009
Yes. Straight away right field between the line and the 377 sign is pretty close.
Plus the ball carries.
Fan Since 1981 - September 20, 2009
lol
Figgi4life - September 20, 2009
at a Figgins HR
Figgi4life - September 20, 2009
Torii has been looking really bad recently
Slyintine - September 20, 2009
last 30 days
he’s has our second highest BA most RBI’s and most HR
i disagree
princeton11loveshalos - September 20, 2009
you must be talking about his 1 error
in 270+ starts right? pffffft…
dr-awkward - September 20, 2009
Was that HBP on Aybar on purpose?
A sign of frustration?
Very suspicious after giving up the HR.
Fan Since 1981 - September 20, 2009
Naw. Wanted to get inside on him
Probably lost the handle
Slyintine - September 20, 2009
i agree & some payback may be in order
salmonforever - September 20, 2009
nah just get through the next two innings
and fly home with a 7.5 game lead.
MH252525 - September 20, 2009
scoreboard and face-raped out of playoff contention
is payback enough
clover_black - September 20, 2009

dr-awkward - September 20, 2009
yeah, tarnish the game with an idiotic fight over NOTHING
it’s not Padilla pitching
ladybug - September 20, 2009
yea I doubt it had any purpose
I mean the Rangers got rid of Padilla when he could still get people out.
I’d cut them some slack
MH252525 - September 20, 2009
Okay. Sounds good.
Just hoping that Aybar wasn’t drilled just because Figgy homered.
Fan Since 1981 - September 20, 2009
cm'on Matty , pluck one of them
salmonforever - September 20, 2009
I don't see any feathers...
opiejeanne - September 20, 2009
why'd they take out Bulger???
2nd straight appearance Bulger only threw 9 pitches
MH252525 - September 20, 2009
Keeping him limber but rested

Gotta keep him rested for red october

Match Day 5 - September 20, 2009
that's the internet for ya
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - September 20, 2009
yea the internet is where one
idiot can make everyone look bad. Most Rangers fans would tell you he was way out of line.
In fact I’m curious as to what the responses were.
MH252525 - September 20, 2009
only one guy responded.....
and said its probably too soon to say that
norcaliangelsfan - September 20, 2009
Cause at some point it will be OK?
Match Day 5 - September 20, 2009
of course not
but apparently some people think so
norcaliangelsfan - September 20, 2009
I agree so much!
I guess we could joke about Nolan Ryan’s son being hit by a car if time healed all wounds.
Some people are seriously deranged.
MH252525 - September 20, 2009
Yeah the moderators over there
Are usually very quick to nip this crap in the bud. But it’s still classless and tacky.
halofolife - September 20, 2009
huh?
super low class, but how does he go from Howie to Hank Blalock? Missed a transition or something there…
cath619 - September 20, 2009
The Blalock is part is his sig
Slyintine - September 20, 2009
the hank blalock thing is his signature.........
I shoulda edited that part out……….thats my bad.

did he get people mad at him for it?

New England, San Diego, Baltimore…. OK make it 4? (Jets)
but anyway, that usually helps them.
