Brett Favre 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2004 A-BOMB FROM A-ROD! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bored 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2004 Rhodes is on the DL but will be back fairly soon. Yankees could probably have him for almost nothing as the A's have a roster crunch right now with a bunch of players coming off the DL. You know the A's bullpen has been much better lately but both the A's losses this road trip were due to the bullpen. It's so hard to think about how the A's would be running away with the West if they had a good bullpen this year. Maybe The Avatar will pitch like he did in 2002 tommorrow. And maybe Jimmie Foxx will rise from the dead and hit three homeruns for the A's tommorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2004 So you hate him because he gave an effort? Okay. And it looked about 10 feet behind him. He's not the sharpest knife in the drawer but jeez who cares if he at least tries? I don't hate him. I just hate when ballplayers are willing to hurt themselves just to prove that they're trying. If he had a shot at that ball, great. Don't rip up your knee trying to put on a show. Mickey Mantle forever relayed a story about Pete Rose attempting a similar catch in spring training, and thus earning the nickname "Charlie Hustle". I imagine he was trying the same thing Byrnes tried. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the way Rose played, he would have been Charlie Hustle regardless of that one attempted catch. And Byrnes is no Pete Rose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2004 Corey Patterson has to be one of the worst hitters in key situations. He just struck out with the bases loaded. Cubs are up by one, but Kent Mercker's coming in, so I doubt that'll be enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2004 Kyle Farnsworth is trash. Absolute trash. His job is to get ONE out and he gives up a two-run homer. Loser. It's not that he's trash, it's he is not in the role he is designed for. Kyle is not a set-up man and when he has been used as set-up, he has sucked the life out of the Cubs. Plus his control has been erratic this year like he is pushing way too hard. Least the Cubs won and got the Wild Card lead. Now if they can hold it, they'll be in business.

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2004 It may not be the role he's good at, but it's the role that he's been put into, nonetheless. Hawkins doesn't care for the closer's role, but he's doing what he can because that's what the team needs. Speaking of which, I heard that Borowski is going to meet up with the team in San Fran. Gotta wonder if Baker will stick with him or go back to LaTroy if he falters. Personally, while LaTroy has been shakey in the role at times, I much prefer him there than Borowski, who made just about every appearance into a rollercoaster of events, fast heartbeats and tingling left arms.

Thanks to ESPN jerking me over for the millionth time in a span of 48 hours it seems, I had to watch the Devil Rays beat the Red Sox (). Pretty much how he's pitched all season long. Five earned runs, not that many strike outs. He's lucky he's got the Yankees offense behind now to back up his mediocre outings. And it doesn't hurt that the Dodgers have gotten to face the Pirates, but I think we've seen the end of the Marlins in 2004. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2004 It doesn't help that Zito/Mulder are lefties, and the bulk of the Yankees lineup is right-handed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Man in Blak 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2004 The Angels are just pounding the Twins right now...and it is absolutely horrifying to imagine this lineup with everybody healthy (Molina, Glaus). Meanwhile, we're in the first and Victor Zambrano has yet to walk or bean a batter so far. Of course, we're in the top of the first. Despite that, I think it's still safe to say that NUKE HAS BEEN CURED~! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

strummer 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2004 Zambrano getting lit up by the Brewers, what a great debut, almost as good as Benson's. My God, I just finally realized the Mets gave up their entire farm system for these guys. It didn't hit me until I saw this guy pitch, what a wuss. Just throw a strike!
