Mik 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2004 FYI, today is the season debut of TWIB, before Fox game of the week. It's already over if you had a 1 o'clock game, but it's on at 3:30 for me, because unforunately I am still in NY and we got the Yankees game (like it's not already on 4 other channels). Dontrelle Willis and Josh Beckett host. EDIT : TWIB = This week in baseball, for the 3 of you who probably didn't already know that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2004 I really REALLY hate the Jays bullpen. It resembles the Red Sox bullpen of last season. Also did you ever share your thoughts anywhere on your experience of going to Skydome and seeing Pedro/Halladay III? I had a great time. They actually won for once, and the atmosphere is much better at the Dome with the roof open. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted May 22, 2004 (edited) I've been planning on going on a big trip to Canada and seeing the Skydome and that Monstrosity in Montreal for a couple years now. Better get around to it this year. Edited May 22, 2004 by Anglesault Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted May 22, 2004 I don't believe there will be a team In Montreal in couple years anyways...so you better run. You should go on a National Ballpark tour...every single fucking one of them and have a "Anglesault's Nitpickery" column where you complain about every MLB stadium and the cities in them.

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2004 Glendon Rusch pitches a brilliant game, striking out nine and going 7 2/3 innings. Farns and Hawkins do their jobs and shut down the Cards. The Cubs struck early and that's all they needed, although I would've figured the game would've been longer and more high scoring with the wind blowing out like it was.

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted May 22, 2004 I have a hard time hating Dontrelle. It's tough to hate someone who looks like he's just having a total blast in every aspect of the game, right down to Boys and Girls Club commercials. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fuzzy Dunlop 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2004 Anoter addition to the DL-- lefty reliever Kent Mercker. But Remlinger's finally returned, and we're just a half game back! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2004 The Merker thing's a bummer, but they're going back to May 16 with the DL stint, I believe, meaning he could be back around the same time Wood is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted May 22, 2004 I give Texiera credit. If I had been hit in the back with a 96mph fastball I'd either have been crying or gone into RAGE~ mode and attacked Contreras. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2004 OK, someone needs to sit down Bowa and explain something to him. Placido Polanco is coming back from the DL tomorrow (I think). Chase Utley has been filling in quite admirably for him, however Bowa is sticking to the "don't lose your spot due to injury" argument. Taking a look at the stats: Polanco - 112 AB, 25 H, 1 HR, 1 RBI, .223 BA, .304 OBP, .313 SLG, .000 RISP avg. Utley - 37 AB, 11 H, 3 HR, 13 RBI, .297 BA, .316 OBP, .649 SLG, .286 RISP avg. It clearly looks like Utley has outplayed Polanco (unless Al has some other stats that say otherwise), so it shouldn't be a question of injury costing him his place. I'd stick with Utley, but apparently it looks like Polanco will reclaim his spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted May 22, 2004 Utley deffinately should be starting. Polanco seems lost at the plate and should be the utility infielder right now. I really wanted Polanco in Boston during the off-season too. Solo homers aside Ryan Drese is pitching a great game. Something tells me that Texas has their future ace in him. I hope he learns to just trust his stuff and keep the ball down, if he does go up the ladder on hitters it should be with his 4-seam fastball and not that slider.

the pinjockey 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2004 I know we all enjoyed seeing Utley crank one 448 feet last night. The only real question going into this season with Utley would be the glovework, but his defense seems to have improved greatly since his stint last year (the crowd was going to go insane last night if he could have snagged the one off Wooten's glove). I wouldn't mind seeing them put Thome on the DL and let Utley play first for a week to keep him in the lineup. Thome needs the rest and he hasn't played in a few days, so it can be retroactive.

Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2004 Does Utley even have any experience playing 1st base? I don't know if I'd do that - you've got to have some practice digging out low throws & such. Sticking him at 1st cold would have me a little concerned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2004 I find it hard to get against Dontrelle, as well. Even last year during the postseason, as much as I hated the Marlins, I couldn't help but feel bad for him when he performed poorly. That includes him getting rattled by the Cubs in Game 4 of the NLCS. There's just so few players today that seem to genuinely love the game as much as he does, that you can't help but side with him.

the pinjockey 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2004 He played it a little in spring training. But other options if Thome goes on the DL would be Wooten (GOD NO!!!), Perez, and Pratt. I wouldn't really want Perez or Pratt getting extended time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
