Dobbs 3K Posted September 27, 2005 Report Posted September 27, 2005 Just got back from the Brewers game and had a blast. They beat the Reds, and it was a great game. Hooray for being at .500 again!
Gert T Posted September 27, 2005 Report Posted September 27, 2005 If only Milwaukee was in the NL West......
iggymcfly Posted September 27, 2005 Report Posted September 27, 2005 The Giants are fucking taking it. They already got the toughest game out of the way, beating Peavy, so it should be all downhill from here. Besides, when Tomko picks up the win tomorrow, the Padres are going to start to get demoralized about the way they're blowing the division, and then things will really go to hell for San Diego. Really, if the Padres want to win the division, they have to win tomorrow, or else the Giants will roll through the series, finish off the sweep, and then ultimately win the division at 79-83.
Spaceman Spiff Posted September 27, 2005 Report Posted September 27, 2005 2. GOD FORBID you use your best relief pitcher before the ninth inning. Never mind that the game will be decided with the opposing team's heart of the order up in the eighth inning. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Charlie Manuel.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted September 27, 2005 Report Posted September 27, 2005 This one goes far beyond Charlie Manuel. 90-95% of managers are so addicted to roles that they are unable to adjust to game situations.
CanadianChris Posted September 27, 2005 Author Report Posted September 27, 2005 2. GOD FORBID you use your best relief pitcher before the ninth inning. Never mind that the game will be decided with the opposing team's heart of the order up in the eighth inning. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I loved when this was the rule and not the exception. It's why Goose Gossage isn't in the Hall of Fame -- not enough saves because he wasn't always the last pitcher in the game, even though he was ALWAYS the guy facing the tough hitters late.
Spaceman Spiff Posted September 27, 2005 Report Posted September 27, 2005 I think I read on the Phillies website that Manuel said Wagner was "sore", but that Wagner said "everyone is sore."
CanadianChris Posted September 27, 2005 Author Report Posted September 27, 2005 Red Sox are up 2-0 early in the afternoon game. I expect them to sweep the doubleheader, as the Jays are sending out two pitchers in significant slumps, in Bush and Chacin.
mike546 Posted September 27, 2005 Report Posted September 27, 2005 I'm just going to pray Wakefields amazing run ends Saturday.
Precious Roy Posted September 27, 2005 Report Posted September 27, 2005 I saw Stump the Schwab the other day where they had to name all the members of the Red Sox championship team. Surprisingly, Wake was one of like the 3 or 4 guys who nobody could think of.....no respect....
CanadianChris Posted September 27, 2005 Author Report Posted September 27, 2005 Tied again. Sox win the afternoon game, 3-1.
Guest Fishyswa Posted September 27, 2005 Report Posted September 27, 2005 If the Yanks win, and then the Sox take the second game, would that set some sort of record for most times the division leader has changed in 24 hours? They're up a half, we pull even, we go up a half, they pull even, they go ahead a half, we pull even. At this rate we should just forget the next 3 games and go right to friday.
Conspiracy_Victim Posted September 27, 2005 Report Posted September 27, 2005 Well, this will probably be the only time you'll ever hear me say this but... GO METS! Seeing as how seemingly everyone in the free world wants the Phillies to take the WC for some reason, it'll be funny if one of the Astros traditionally "hated rivals" helps them. And as I have very little faith in the Astros' ability to beat the Cardinals this year, we need every Phils loss we can get.
mike546 Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 Theres the Mussina I know. Edit: Before you all tell me hows hes been a steady rock for us since 01 and a huge stopper, this year has just been horrid. He either has it for a start, or he doesn't. And most of this year, he hasn't.
Guest TheDon Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 Too bad the Orioles didn't play like this when Boston was in town. Mussina is yankeed after 1 2/3 innings pitched. Good god.
Guest Fishyswa Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 Everytime I'm right I don't want to be... But yeah, let's bring in Leiber to stop this, he usually get's the job done....

It is not that Gossage had more "tough" saves or whatever. It is that Gossage and his ilk frequently entered the game in tie games, or non-save situations. It was not until Eckersley that managers saved their pitchers exclusively for save situations. Managers are admittingly getting better. It was worse 10 years ago.
Guest TheDon Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 Scoreboard update. Tampa Bay 4-0 over Cleveland. Toronto scores to make it 3-2 Boston and Gary Sheffield hit a 2 run homerun to make it 5-3 Baltimore over NY. Posada just hit in a double play after the yankees were getting back into it.
Bruiser Chong Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 Man, if the Indians wind up missing the postseason after all of this...
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 *Tries to erase my White Sox rant* Nah just kidding. If the Indians lose out, I'll just laugh.
CanadianChris Posted September 28, 2005 Author Report Posted September 28, 2005 Further update...Boston answered with two in the bottom half to make it 5-2, and Detroit has put another run up to lead 3-1.
Guest TheDon Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 It is now 5-4 Boston over Toronto. Yankees had first and second no outs with Jeter and Arod coming up. Sheffield with a Grand Slam. Yankees go up 7-5 after being down 5-1.
Guest Fishyswa Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 Sheff serves up a grand salami.
Bruiser Chong Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 The O's sure fear success. I'm glad it was Sheff, but it is odd that they didn't bring in the righty (who was ready) to face him.
mike546 Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 Probably because before the walk, he K'd Jeter and A-Rod both looking. Difference between their ABs and Sheff's is that they were looking for changeups, and got caught looking on fastballs, while Sheff was dead red.
Guest TheDon Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 It's nice to see Leiter nibble around the plate with .270 hitters who have 1 homerun and see them get walked.
Guest TheDon Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 I want to see Al Leiter Hanged, Drawn and Quartered. Orioles take a 8-7 lead against this Bum.
Guest Fishyswa Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 Well as long as Sheff get's up twice more we should be good...
Bruiser Chong Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 I want to see Al Leiter Hanged, Drawn and Quartered. Orioles take a 8-7 lead against this Bum. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, I don't think the Yanks' pitiful offense could come back from a massive two-run deficit.

But this bullpen isn't getting anyone out. edit: See my point?
