the pinjockey 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2005 I need to point out here how awesome Steve Lyons was today during the Phils/Braves game. He is the first announcer I can ever recall hearing talk about how men left on base was an overrated stat (Phils are no.1 in the league IIRC) and how he would take it anyday of the week since it means you are getting men on base.

Awesome, except that Nathan's on my fantasy team, and even though he still got the save, that 18.00 ERA looks like shit. Â That's a lot of commas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Orioles showing why, they are not for real. I wouldn't say that. Their starting pitching has been top-notch for the most part this season and the end of their pen has been lights out. The problem could lie in middle relief. People also don't give the Tigers' offense as much credit as they probably should, myself included. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big McLargeHuge 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2005 Oh, Lord. Latroy Hawkins is making his Giants debut in a tie ballgame. I'm holding my breath. Â A 1-2-3 inning, but with him and Benitez (when he comes back) in the same pen, I can't imagine any lead being safe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2005 I think you'll be surprised and pleased with Hawkins. Remember, he was one of the top set-up men in the game before the Cubs forced him into the closer's role. He's in a pitcher's ballpark surrounded by fans who aren't going to boo him out of the place just for taking the mound. Plus, he threw like six change-ups in his debut inning. I don't think he threw that many in his entire season with the Cubs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big McLargeHuge 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2005 Problem is, the Giants still don't have a reliable 9th inning pitcher. The inevitability of Hawkins closing, when he shouldn't be, is what makes me nervous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Orioles showing why, they are not for real. It's still their first three game losing streak of the year, they still have a three game lead in the AL East, and they still have the second best record in the American League.

Cartman 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2005 Wells needs to be released the second Francona pulls him out of this game(which will probably be in the 3rd inning at the latest). Â Thank god he knows he sucks now and signed an incentive based contract. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2005 Yeah, the Orioles pretty much raped Boston today. They were actually on television for a change, so I got to watch, and it was super. By the end of the third inning, the game was pretty much over. Â Of course, Arroyo was absolutely lost out there, didn't throw a single strike with his fastball, and didn't have much control of his breaking ball either, but still.... the Orioles were about as dominant as they could possibly be facing the second best team in the division.

Bored 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2005 MINNEAPOLIS -- Juan Gone came and went. Juan Gonzalez, sidelined all season because of strained right hamstring, was activated by the Cleveland Indians from the 15-day disabled list Tuesday. Hours later, he reaggravated the injury while running out a grounder in the first inning -- his first major league at-bat since May 21, 2004. Um ya retirement is probably a good idea right about now.

He cost us two runs, and add in the fact the Yankees have one non HR run in the last 6 six games, you can see why they lost to god damn Kansas City. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jericholic82 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2005 Thanks for the info Mike as of course I cant see the game. It would appear that the Yanks arent hitting again. The offense appears to be the key for them, cuz if the pitching isnt great, they need to come from behind and sometimes they cant. I knew this would happen after a three week hot streak. But at least the os lost so no ground lost in the east race. Some deals are going to be have to be made before the break and deadline, obviously. Â Â Why is Bernie still in CF then? damn. He still gets some hits but cant field. why not dh him more often? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
