According to STATS, Inc., today’s Phillies start Kyle Kendrick is the best supported pitcher in the National League, 7.60 runs per 9 innings pitched.
Tim Redding gets the nod for Washington against Houston. Redding has nine no-decisions in his last nine starts, despite a 5.05 ERA. The Nationals are 7-2 in those games.
Chipper Jones’s batting average dropped to .375, but he’s a .396 career hitter at PETCO Park. Jones is one player who can generate power at PETCO with six home runs in 48 at bats, good for an .812 slugging percentage.
Chris Volstad makes his first Major League start tonight as the Marlins play the Dodgers. In 91 innings at AA this season, Chris did not allow a home run.

Yay. A post that is NOT about aquiring an oufielder.
David named to ASG.
We don’t see Washington between 5/15 and 8/12…that’s a little ridiculous.
kyle kendrick is horrible.
Agreed. Pissed me off we couldn’t score more off of him last week.
He’s not horrible, He kinda reminds me a bit of Steve Trachsel. Pitches to great run support. At least steve did in 2006
Maybe Chipper should name his next kid “Petco”
Are you saying he should make his kid a pet? Are you some kind of slave driver?
Are you standing up for Chipper Jones? Are you some kind of brave fan?
You must not be aware that he named his kid ‘Shea’ because he hits so well in Shea Stadium
Off topic, but I just did a double take on ESPN.com while clicking on the MLB section to load I caught in the corner of my eye on the headline side bar “…Beltran test positive for EPO”. I freaked for a second but it was “Tour Rider Beltran tests positive for EPO.”
there is a rumor from espn seattle that the marniners are going to trade Ibanez to the mets for Carp and a Single A pitcher. can anyone confirm this?
no but i do that deal in a second.
This deal has to get done. Ibanez is a solid starter. And Carp was never going to make it Shea/Citi Field.
Make it so Omar, make it so!!
This would be fantastic—Ibanez is a good player and a good guy.
And his road stats are every bit as good as the mythical, legendary, Ruthian road stats of Matt Holliday.
Ibanez Beltran Chavez is a good outfield. if we get church back thats’ gravy.
Ibanez is 36! Can we at least get someone in the low 30s?
someone in their low 30’s who is good will cost too much. ibanez in under contract through 09 I believe which will let us transition to f-mart at some point next year or 2010. it makes a lot of sense
He is a lefty, though, which is a drawback.
Panda bears don’t even live to be thirty.
Ibanez — born in Manhattan, good hitter, not under contract for very long. Sold. Just don’t give him a four year contract extension.
We could do a lot worse then Ibanez. He is basicly the road version of Holliday.
Decent OBP. Don’t be fooled into thinking he has actual pop. Of those 10HR, half came in April.
he had 20 hr in 2005, 33 in 06 and 21 in 2007. just saying.
I am still salivating over dunn and his OBP. Of course manual would lack the testicular fortitude to bat him 2nd.
God I would love to see-
Reyes
Dunn
Wright
Beltran
Delgado
The team would pwn the universe.
Yet again — posts that include proposed lineups always seem to suck. It’s amazing, really. . . . We have the brainpower to envision what the lineup might look like without you spelling it out for us. Thanks.
oh because you say so it must be true.
hey too many uniforms … fallacy of Always being right ring a bell?
Don’t be fooled into thinking he has no pop. He plays in what passes for a pitchers’ park in the AL. He can hit.
That 112 OPS+ says that he better then average, but not by a whole lot.
I hope it’s not true and Omar didn’t make a deal already. I’m not too excited over Ibanez.
Huh? I proposed that yesterday in a thread.
Hey Seattle, another great deal would be Ichiro and Felix Hernandez for Pascucci and Muniz.
hey guy, everybody is watching everything you propose with bated breath.
you are very smart.
Thanks.
Your mom has some fruit roll-ups for ya downstairs!
Incorrect. Smart but missing an acute sense for what type of snack my mom has in said basement.
My mom has Ding Dong’s in the basement. They happen to be very good.
as per your brilliance regarding info … Jon Heyman is evaluating all your posts and is now going to rely solely on you for advice and information.
I’m sure you’re quite fond of ding-dongs.
Anyway, I’m not going to get into a little p*ssing match with a 12 year-old. Go Mets.
now you’re jumping to conclusions, fortune-telling, mind reading my age.
smart guy.
Where is this rumor on espn exactly?
I don’t see it. I don’t think it’s anywhere.
Ryan Howard: Hey guys. Groovy Day. Kyle from Southpark is pitching today. That means everybody is Batman.
Rollins: Batman!
Utley: I am so cool to be on a team that everybody is Batman! Wheee!
None of these posts is remotely funny.
‘are’ remotely funny.
No, dillweed, “is.” There, “none” was being used as a short form of “not one.”
none = are. It’s plural. lol.
oy.
youre an _______.
and honestly guy … none is not short for ‘not one.’ come on. that would be bad English anyway “Not one of these posts is… .
None/not one isn’t like doesn’t/does not.
Sorry, brat. You’re wrong on this one. “None” can be singular, and can be used to mean “not one.”
That’s called mislabeling when you call somebody a name (brat) for no reason. It’s incorrect and shines through as insecure.
You are incorrect about how to use the word, ‘none.’
lol.
and just ps — none never equals not one.
its not any.
“not any; “thou shalt have none other g-ds before me”
This is really amusing. Please look it up.
I was forced to look it up. Which i couldn’t believe I was second-guessing the word none.
Anyway I’m right and your wrong and you have the audacity to comment on my little satire (wasn’t going fo the huge laugh) which had more entertainment value than anything you’ve ever said and you can’t handle it.
AS PER NONE:
-not any; “thou shalt have none other gods before me”
-not at all or in no way; “seemed none too pleased with his dinner”; “shirt looked none the worse for having been slept in”; “none too prosperous”; “the passage is none too clear”
NOT, NOT ONE.
INCORRECT. prove me wrong or just give up guy.
Sure:
Strunk & White:
“With ‘none’, use the singular verb when the word means ‘no one’ or ‘not one.’”
Example : None of us is perfect.
“Not any” could also merit the singular.
No once you said “these,” it because plural. Therefore, the singular usage of the word in the pronoun form isn’t valid.
None of ‘these’ posts ‘is’ funny. (incorrect).
None of ‘these’ posts ‘are’ funny. (correct).
Further; None of us is perfect wouldn’t be the obvious first choice for that statement.
Nobody’s perfect.
Nobody is perfect.
None of us is perfect (last choice).
It’s the
