Jayson Werth and Brett Myers both win Player of the Week honors from Baseball Musings. Jayson led the NL in both OBA and slugging percentage during the week, while Myers won two games against teams in contention for the playoffs.
Cody Ross fires back at Mike Pelfrey over the bench clearing shouting match:
”If he wants to pop off, I’ll let him,” Ross said Sunday after reading the comments. “I figure you would do that if you were 3-0 against a team and not 0-3.”
James Parr is the only new face called up by the Braves on September first. He’s 22 years old and showed improvement this season moving from AA to AAA.
Garrett Mock won his first major league game Sunday, but Chico Harlan notes the Nationals lost the first 22 games with Mock on the roster.

Cody Ross, wow.
is the kid on crack or something? there was 2 outs noone on and the mets were leading why would pelf hit him intentionally – ross has got “issues”
This is because Cody Ross looks like the original Ridley Scott “Alien” juuuuuuuuuuuust as it breached the stomach wall of a crew member and greeted the studio world. You’d have issues, too.
Also, he looks like a “Cabbage Patch Kid” with alopecia that’s been through the dryer.
Also, did someone misplace his banjo?
deliverance – i like it
i thought he looked more like the doozers from fraggle rock
ha i forgot amout fraggle rock he also looks like sloth from the goonies
baaaabyyyyy ruuuuuuth?
I think he was frustrated because this was the second game in a row that he was hit my Pelfrey.
This does not excuse his reaction. In both cases it was unintentiona.
Hey Cody Ross, figures you’re a sniveling little marshmallow man when you’re 7 games down, not 7 games up!
No kidding. Pelf did just fine against them in the game in question. Plus, he was in control and composed…unlike a certain bald-headed makeshift centerfielder on a team dramatically falling out of the playoff hunt.
hey hebner ed glynn says “hi”
Cody Ross is such a baby. How can he seriously think that Pelfrey hit him on purpose. That was a fake charge Cody. Pelfrey would kick your butt.
I think the fake charge is a close call. Folks can check it out if they go to the scoreboard page for Aug 10 on mlb.com and click on the top of the fifth to engage the clickable linescore feature (It occurs about 10 min, 20 sec into the inning). Watching the archived video, I think the Shea crowd thought he was charging at first; they get loud as he he gets off his back, bat still in hand as he begins to sprint. Whatever the case, Ross definitely let’s out the loudest cry for a guy hit by a pitch I’ve ever heard, a “B-yawh” like Dave Chappelle imitating Howard Dean.
actually, i take that close call back. ross dropped his bat while writhing on the ground. he picks it up again before he starts sprinting, like he was jose offerman or something.
good thing winning 2 games in a row isn’t a prereq for being a sniveling b****
Ross really has to be kidding me. I love when people who are fact the ones talking trash try to make it like the other person is the one yapping. Pelfrey wasn’t commenting in any way about Ross’ ability to get a hit against him, he was merely stating that he wouldn’t hit a guy intentionally with two strikes. I think he has Jimmy Rollins syndrome.
He also commented that Ross got awful “brave” and yappy when all of his teammates came off the bench and surrounded him–and that was 100% true. Keith even said the same thing, on the air, as it happened.
Frankly, I think Pelf just hit a nerve. Ross knows he came off looking like a wus, so he got a little defensive about it being pointed out like Pelf did.
I think he has I’m 5 foot nothing, a hundred and nothing pounds and my team is sucking syndrome.
Like Marcus Giles?
like eckstein?
wow, I won’t say things like that if my team was 7 games behind.
im just stunned that the wife beater from filly (myers -duh) got the n.l player of the week award
Who cares if he beat his wife? At least he’s not taking greenies
lol he takes anal poppers
what does beating your wife have to do with throwing a baseball?
anyway, he pitched well this week and is being recognized for it.
ummm – but he still beats his wife:P
i know beating up your wife doesn’t suck out your pitching talent, but every time i hear myers’s name it’s the first thing to come to mind. he could rescue 20 kittens from a burning building and i’d be like, “oh, the wife beater saved some cats?”
kinda like carl ( dinosaurs never existed) everett – and he didn’t even beat his kids
Unfortunately for Ross and the Marlins, they don’t have Tom Glavine to beat around anymore for retribution.
tom glavine what a tool he went for the money and for 4 years he looked like a fool. the last day of the 07 season – he didnt see a reason to apologize to us fans – he thought there was no reason
peotry isn’t my strong point – kinda like life :O
Yea, that Ross quote is unbelievably stupid. I just looked at his career numbers, and he’s probably just frustrated since he had a decent year in 07, but not so much this year.
david newhan laughs at cody ross
lol that picture from the ross article
can someone photoshop a bonnet and pacifier onto it
finster ooooohh finster baby!!!
unrelated, but the brewers can shut up about the one-hit, no-hit controversy. They sound like a bunch of whiny Cody Rosses
I think the outdated book on Pelfrey is that you have to try to rattle him, which I don’t believe works anymore. Ross may have been overacting on purpose.
