Young 8

any news ? still raining ?

Kensing seems to suck EVERY TIME the game is on the line. This is the reason why the Phillies will win the division. When they get a lead...their bullpen holds. The Mets and Marlins...not so much. The guy gives up a base hit with the bases that were loaded by someone else. He got the second out. Unload on Miller, not Kensing. agree Miller pitched 4 STRAIGHT BALLS to Joel Cabrera, ok i repeat Joel Cabrera not Albert Pujols.....ARE YOU FRACKING KIDIDING ME ?

4-4 2 on, no out ridiculous

So no outs and bases loaded? yes

Miller = garbage

WTF IS MILLER DOING ?? ARE YOU KIDDING ME ??

HE'S BAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK :notworthy

Yawn. He hit .230 with an .800 OPS last year with 2 out and RISP. 49 AB is like 10 games worth. It's a completely meaningless sample size. Rotfl ! did you realize that he had 78 AB RISP w/2outs last year ?

- 6/43 (0.140) in July - 18/103 (0.175) in the last 27 games but the most embarassing stat is...... 3/49 RISP w/2outs dear god.....what a CHOKER !!!

UGGLA.......what a choker !! 3/48 RISP w/2outs

Uggla is not a young guy for being a sophmore in the MLB. By the time 2009 comes, he'll be 29. I know that's not ancient... but it's not young either. And I know some guys find their stroke when they reach that age, but that is a very small percentage and the larger number of professional ball players tend to fade, and are done by 35. He has been declining since last August, in a slow creeping fashion, and I have no reason to believe that decline will turn itself around. I feel confident in saying that by this time next year, we will all feel like there is a major hole at 2nd base that needs to be filled, and by '09 we might have a guy who is close to being ready for that spot. And I know there are always exceptions to the rule (please don't start throwing out Carlos Delgado or Johan Santana references about the draft and how it doesn't determine success), but Dan Uggla was an 11th round pick, who spent 6 years as a minor leaguer... 4 of which were in A ball. We found his production in the Rule 5, and it turned out to be a fantastic pick up for last year as he exceeded everyone's expectations. But the honeymoon will soon be over, and he will turn into the player everyone thought he would be. Then how do you explain the fact that he like leads the NL in XBH and has a .500+ Slugging percentage and is also walking 8.5 percent of the time (up from 5% last year). That's him regressing? He's been better than he was last year. I hate to burst your bubble, but he's actually improved overall. lol check his spilts for the first 3 months ot 2006 http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/7692/s...mp;type=Batting and now check 2007....... http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/7692/s...mp;type=Batting

Seriously, I don't know why so many people thought he deserved All Star recognition this year... even if he plays at a weak position in the NL. He was a Rule V dude who found some power and had a fantastic half a season last year. And I am not at all a Miguel Olivo fan, but with all the whining we submit about Olivo his BA is now better than Uggla's. C'mon Coghlan, hurry up and get through Greensboro! check his stats Post ASG 2006 Pre ASG 2007 and you will discover what kind of player Uggla is............

why Uggla sucks so much lately ???

WTF is wrong with Uggla ??? 0/3 ---> 3 K are you kidding me ??

is Gregg still the closer ??? Benitez is worse than Julio....... you are a fool. Julio doesnt have any saves and an era near 10. have you seen Benitez pitching ?? many Champagne bottles opened in Frisco....... you dont watch baseball. he saved 47 games two years ago and has only blown 2 this year. julio had an era around 100. your not watching the major leagues kid. try again chump
