The hearings into Anibal Sanchez’s service time grievance finished last week, but no decision is expected until next year. If he wins, he will qualify for arbitration after the 2009 season.
The Braves are so desperate for pitching that they signed Elmer Dessens off a Mexican League team. He pitched poorly in 2007, but that was his first truly bad year.
The Phillies and Cubs usher in the replay era tonight in Chicago. With Philadelphia ranking first and Chicago fourth in home runs, the umpires might get a chance to use the new equipment tonight.
Rick Eckstein joins the coaching staff of the Nationals, making Chico Harlan wonder if Lenny Harris job is in jeopardy. Eckstein is credited with turning around Ryan Langerhans’s season.

I was just looking at the schedule and saw the mets have a series coming up with the brewers (who currently lead the wild card)
the way this season is going i could completely see the mets sweeping the brewers all the while philly sweeps whoever they play and we basically pave their way into the wild card.
imagine an NLDS show down with them? ugh
they play the Nats when we play the brewers…
Teams in the same division can’t meet in the DS.
Why is that by the way?
Don’t know, thats just the ways its been since 1998. Probably because it makes for better press/ratings if two division rivals meet in a more important series.
gotcha, good to know. thanks!
Regardless, it behooves the Mets to beat the Brewers since it would improve our chances of getting the Wild Card if the Phillies beat us out for first.
It also improves the Mets chances of getting to the WS if the Phillies are the wild card and not the Brewers.
i know this is off topic but i am so sick of hank stienbrenner blaming the yankees season on injuries..they are part of the game hank!
I guess $200 MM doesn’t buy you what it used to. I mean the Sox only came in and spanked the Yanks without the services of JD Drew and Mike Lowell. Or the Rays are continuing their dream season without Crawford and Longoria.
What he should be bemoaning is the lack of quality depth players on the team. If there’s one reason why I like the Mets chances in the NL is that they have a reasonbly deep bench after you figure out who’s the starter for the day. Philly has Dobbs who’s almost in a platoon situation with Feliz. I know Eric Bruntlett burned us the other night but if you replay that part of the game 10 times, he’d probably not get that hit again (I know statistically he’d get it done every 2.2 out of 10 times, but you know what I’m saying).
Hankenstein? The charter member of the lucky sperm club? The guy is the biggest buffoon in professional sports history. He shouldn’t be allowed out of the house. I don’t know how Yankees fans can stand him.
“The Braves are so desperate for pitching that they signed Elmer Dessens off a Mexican League team.”
Um…didn’t the Mets just get Ricardo Rincon from a Mexican league team? Pot, meet kettle.
So is Anibel Sanchez going to be one year closer to being a Yankees or a Red Sock?
