Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2004 I think Ponson had a nervous breakdown. He's just laughing. Yeah and the Yankees' announcers are acting like he just raped a child. A pitcher should be upset over a poor outing, but they acted like he was committing the most disgusting crime to humanity possible by having a smile on his face.

treble 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2004 Halladay was awesome tonight. Got into a bit of trouble in the 1st then no more hits allowed until the 9th. It's too bad that he couldn't get the shutout, but Jason Frasor's 1 pitch save was nice. Hopefully he's the full-time closer here on out, since this bullpen by committe thing they were doing wasn't working out too well and Terry Adams seems to pitch better when the game's not on the line.

Not bad when your out scored 21-8 the first two games. Yeah, really. As well as the Yanks have been hitting lately, the Orioles' god-awful pitching all-around definitely played a huge factor here.

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted May 28, 2004 (edited) We've been having a bitch of a time with bad pitching for a good portion of the year. Any way, we did what no other team has ever done in Baltimore, (including anyone who's faced the O's staff this year) so give them credit. Edit: In, not to.

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2004 The Cubs are just so frustrating to watch right now. In the same inning they blow a great chance to break the game open and don't capitalize, the Pirates get the bases loaded, actually cash in and now lead by three. Oh, and Clement fucking hit THREE batters in this inning and couldn't even make it through. That doesn't count two balls which came very close to beaming the batter. Unbelievable.

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2004 I was about to come on here and ask what Dusty was smoking to take down Hollandsworth, one of their better current hitters, with the bases loaded and put in Barrett.

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2004 Joe Borowski makes me absolutely sick to my stomach. I know closing is a tough job, but this guy is ridiculous. I'm at a loss for words. The Cubs come back and need three outs to get the win. But then Borowski can't get anyone out, gives off a leadoff triple, two hits and just when all hope looks to be loss, he manages to get two outs. And then what happens? He gives up a fucking grand slam. Fuck Joe Borowski. I don't care if he saved 20 games in a row, he is not closer material and this team is fucked if they are going with him for the long haul.

Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted May 29, 2004 Cliff Lee has pitched a hell of a game for the Indians so far. The Cleveland offense hasn't struck Barry Zito for anything but Lee has gone 6 shut-out innings and has 8Ks. He's over 100pitches so he's probably done now.

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2004 He can't be any worse than Borowski's been. You can say what you want for saving eight games out of eight chances, but none of those have come simply and he's always tended to be on the brink of blowing the game. This time, he just did it in the grandest fashion possible. I say give Hawkins a shot in the closing role. So what if he likes being the set-up man? Does he want to win or not? Borowski was never meant to be a closer, anyway, it was that closer by committee bullshit that landed him the gig in the first place. I was under the impression he was just trying to hold it together until they got, you know, a real closer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
