Today Randy Wells pitched for the Cubs. This is the 5th or 6th game in a row he has taken them into the 7th or 8th inning with a lead and his fellow Cubs have blown it. I've never seen anything like it. They finally won the game in 13 or 14 innings, but no win for Wells. Crazy.

You didn't beat me by much, about two minutes if I have the right time. That's all your going to win this year too but fear not, you'll enjoy the consolation prize .
That was close. For a minute I thought the Sox were going to lose to a big lefty dressed in MC Hammer pants so long he was tripping on them, a swishalicious base runner who get doubled up every chance he gets and a left fielder who can't catch and throws like a girl. Good thing that awesome bullpen of theirs let Delcarmen off the hook and let the Sox sweep another series.
"Powerful aromas of ripe blackberry and dark cherry, with notes of vanilla, cocoa and rose petal. In the mouth, the wine exudes richness and a finely-grained “cocoa” texture, with low acidity expressing breadth and richness on the palate. Flavors of chocolate, dark berry fruits and the classic cabernet cassis are supported by the texture of fine-grained tannins.
Our 2006 bottling of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is dark, opulent and supple, and clearly expresses the Caymus style.

Doesn't that sound delicious. I can't wait!
Just curious, do Yankee's fans like John Sterlings act or does it get to you also? I tune in to his broadcast once in a while to hear the other side of things and he's such a cheese ball it drives me nuts, but maybe that's just me.
The Yankees will still have a better regular season record than your Red Sux this year even if we lose all 20 games to you.
Thanks for posting the winery's description of their 2006 bottling. I will look forward to receiving this wine from you in October.
The sox have the Yanks over their knee and are giving them the same who's your daddy treatment they give the Angel's rally monkey every year in the playoffs.
I hate to be the one to break this to you but with that bullpen your pinstripes are headed for a third or fourth place finish in the east. But I do need to thank their pitching staff for doubling Papi's home run output for the season. Wang is off to the worst start in the HISTORY of baseball so when they send him to their already stellar bullpen it's just going to get worse.
Is this the same Marlins team that was setting the world ablaze earlier this year or have they had some key injuries. I just don't see this group ever doing much.
The Red Sox are throwing away games at this point by pitching Daisuke. He's giving Wang a run for his money as the worst pitcher in the majors this year. I want him gone and I want him gone now.
Oh look who's on your rear-view mirror Icewino -- it's the $210M Yankees! Imagine that ... lost all 5 8 games to the Red Sox, yet just 1/2now 4 games back.
Still in the mirror but it looks like the limo ride scene from Dumb and Dumber. Between A-Rod being "tired" (gee what could he be missing this year?) and C.C. possibly injured you can just send out the Caymus now.
remarkable game in Baltimore last night. Orioles were down 10-1 to Boston, and came back to score 5 in the seventh, and then 5 in the 8th to win, 11-10.

That was a bad loss, one of the worst I've ever seen actually. Up 10-1 on a great performance by Smoltz and you lose 11-10. Up there with the 2004 Yankee's playoff collapse, fortunately it's just the regular season. It was the kind of loss that can send a team into a funk for a while, but I guess that's why you don't, or shouldn't have, let up until it's over. They're still in first place but I hope the season doesn't come down to 1/2 a game, I'll remember where they blew it if it does.
Not to give away my age or anything, but I remember listening on the transistor radio (a sort of hand held walkman for you youngsters) to a Washington Senators/Boston Red Sox game as a kid. Washington scored 5 in the top of the 9th at Fenway to take a 12-5 lead. But, after two were out in the bottom of the 9th, the Red sox scored 8 runs, to win 13-12. See..... http://www.baseball-almanac.co...p?boxid=196106181BOS
In the meanwhile, the Sox scored 4 in the top of the 9th today to tie the game, and then won it with a run in the 11th. Resilience.

Actually, the loss was not as bad as the '78 Red Sux blowing a 13 game lead over the Yankees then losing the tie-breaker at home.
That might be arguable, I'd still take the one where you're down to your last out and come back to take the whole enchilada but to each their own. As I said however it was one of the worst I have seen. I was one in '78. Didn't see it happen, or at least I don't remember it.
