Who is still available to pitch for the NL? AL?
And actually available…though I didn’t think demp would be pitching at all
Zambrano viciously attacked a pair of watercoolers for the crime of being within his line of vision. It was a classic battle of man versus inanimate object.
Hate to say it but Marmol is still available.

Answering my own question
Sherril, Soria, Kazmir
Cook, Lidge, Marmol, Lincecum (not available), Webb (pitched sunday)
Zambrano viciously attacked a pair of watercoolers for the crime of being within his line of vision. It was a classic battle of man versus inanimate object.
OK...worst case scenario.
What happens if this thing goes 12? 13?
Could Marmol have to go 1 IP +???

at least they don't have to worry about batting them
Zambrano viciously attacked a pair of watercoolers for the crime of being within his line of vision. It was a classic battle of man versus inanimate object.
and we only have McCann

And the not good Dioner Navarro in the lineup.
"This is the kind of thing … that makes you want to see the Chicago Cubs team lose." Marty Brennaman
His career numbers aren't bad for a catcher, really.
I wouldn’t exactly call him great or anything, but he’s not a bad player.
Sure
But would you call him the equal of McCann, Soto, or Martin?

Like I said - I wouldn't call him great, but he's not bad.
Not like, say, Christian Guzman, who probably isn’t any better than a dozen or so guys who have never played outside of a bus league. Christian Guzman is lucky to be in baseball.
True
But he has played his entire career in Minny and Washington. I still think Navarro is worse. Plus, he is Washington’s token rep. They really shoulda taken a pitcher

Stick it up your keyster
Billy Wagner, with a long pole. You overpaid, overhyped, piece of shit (sorry Al – please excuse the profanity in this case).
Again.
He gave up a seeing eye grounder single and a double on a pitch at the ankles. The steal, let’s blame Wags for the steal.
But…it’s good hitting from Longoria and a lucky break for Sizemore. Not sure we can blame Wagner.

But they still don't have a pitcher in their lineup
At least, according to the yahoo box score. Longoria is listed as their DH.

Do you argue with that point?
Have you examined Rivera’s career? Have you noted his performance in the post-season? Yes Mariano Rivera is the greatest closer the game has ever seen. Better than Sutter, Fingers, Gossage, Eckersley. By a wide margin.
Rich Harden Fever, Catch It !!!!!!!!!!
I am not arguing against Rivera being the best closer of all time
I just don’t think his .1 innings of work in the eighth inning of work in the All-Star game proves it, which is something you did.

oooh, excellent
When did he last pitch? Could Hurdle stretch him out?
Zambrano viciously attacked a pair of watercoolers for the crime of being within his line of vision. It was a classic battle of man versus inanimate object.
wow nate mclouth put in about 0% effort on that hit

If you want to watch people playing hard...
...watch the celebrity softball game. Everyone in that game was playing their asses off. Whoopie Goldberg gave everything to turn a double play. It was gritty. It was scrappy. I’d rather watch rookie league ball.
Uggla goes deep in the top of the 13th
And Marmol retires the side in order in the bottom half.

Russell Martin just showed part of the reason why he won a Gold Glove last year
And will again this year. Nice.

wow he was safe

It seems like (attempted) steals are often questionable calls
whether safe or out. It’s not always obvious from the replay, though this one was pretty compelling.
The Umps
have been very “liberal” at 2nd base.
Hurdle you genius!

At least the second time this game that....
the ump has called the runner out at second on a steal and the replay shows he was safe.
