  Nah. I think they will be ok. I don't think they will win the division but who knows. I really don't believe the Nats will continue all season like they are playing now. Also when Howard returns to the lineup I think the Phillies offense will get going.

  Tigers lose again. 4th in their last 5. How you give up 7 runs to the Mariners who are essentially a AAA team is beyond me. This lineup is weak at the bottom, I mean Inge and Raburn just cannot hit

  The Mariners have been scoring runs this season. So fuck you for being mean.

  Don't know about that, his first few years were good.

  Well, I thought Dice-K sucked, always. And for the record, he was good his 2nd year only. And he did it with smoke and mirrors. I still have no idea how he had a sub 3 era while leading the league in walks and having like a 1.4 whip!
• dave

  1.32whip his first 2 seasons. Not great, but he also averaged a strikeout an inning. He's had injury problems ever since.
• Laley23

  

  He also had a 4.40 ERA in year 1. I dont remember him ever shutting down an offense like the Yankees the way Yu did. He certainly didnt have the start Yu has had, so I stand by my statement.
  
  I do concede I forgot that Dice-K had that good second year, cause he has sucked weiner all of his other years. Injury or not.

  The Mariners were one hit away from fucking him over. They had already scored a few, bases loaded, and didn't get the big hit to knock him out of the first his opening start.

  Dice-K had a much better start to his mlb career than Darvish. Yu was lucky not to have a couple losses in his first 3 games.
  
  Matsuzaka made his first major league regular season start for the Red Sox on April 5, 2007 in an afternoon game against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. He walked one, recorded 10 strikeouts, and at one point retired 10 consecutive batters. He allowed only a solo home run on 6 hits while throwing 108 pitches (74 for strikes) over 7 innings and recorded the win as the Red Sox triumphed by a score of 4–1. He was, however, beaten 3–0 by Félix Hernández (who pitched a one hitter), Ichiro Suzuki, Kenji Johjima, and their Seattle Mariners in his Fenway Park debut on April 11, 2007 and defeated again, 2–1, by the Toronto Blue Jays in his third major league start despite striking out 10 Toronto hitters in only 6 innings. Matsuzaka still became the only pitcher to strike out 10 or more batters in 2 of his first 3 big-league starts since Fernando Valenzuela did so in 1981.
  In the official press conference after the Toronto start, Matsuzaka stated through his interpreter that gripping the American baseball—which is slightly larger than the Japanese pro ball, with higher seams—had presented some challenges, but that he had begun making adjustments and felt they were successful.
  Matsuzaka pitched his first complete game in the major leagues on May 14, 2007, a 7–1 victory over the Detroit Tigers; he had pitched well over 60 complete games in Japan.

  Phillies score 8 runs. Worley has another strong start. Going 6 allowing 1 run and fanning 6.
  
  Phillies get a win. Hamels gets the ball tomorrow.

  Scored enough to beat your Tigers last night. I prolly just jinxed them for the remaining two games.

  They've been hitting and stringing them together. I don't give a damn about those stats. I can live with six hits a game as long as they result in runs. Seattle has been scoring. Last nights 7 runs was not a "omg they really did that" moment.
  
  3.7 runs a game. I'll take that.
