TWIB No. 2: 10 April-16 April

Recommended Posts

The Mets are going to lose this game 5-4. I can feel it.

 

Glad I was wrong, but that was a hell of a nailbiter for the last 3 innings.

From the at-bats I've seen, he seems more impatient.

 

Bad times to be a Dodger or Dodgers fan. Yhency Brazonban is gone for the year; he'll be undergoing Tommy John surgery soon. Maybe I missed something. I didn't realize there was even a problem.

Ah, I love Rotoworld's biting commentary. Somewhat tame, but humorous reaction to Victor Santos' poor outing against the Cubs tonight:

 

"We can't be sure, but it's likely that Santos' struggles in two of his three starts have something to do with him not being very good."

These Mets fans are pretty hostile. I understand no one likes to see a lead in jeopardy late in the game, but damn, the boo birds have a short leash.

 

I was at the game. It really didn't sound thunderous, but I would think Heilman got pretty much what he deserved.

No, he's not very good. 5.33 ERA last year and 5.40 ERA so far means he can go to the DL. In fact, I'm glad that he's hurt so that Little won't want to use him.

Well Omar just had to trade more white players from the Mets for Hispanic players.

At 8-2, I'd say the Latino Mets are doing just fine. Our only two losses came when the white boys pitched poorly.

 

Seriously though, I think the whole thing is overblown. It's not like Delgado, Beltran and others were bums. . . well except for Julio, but that's mainly because they wanted to get rid of Anna Benson.

Jorge Julio for Cy Young. This guy is MONEY. . . for the opposition.

 

He's given up 8 runs in two innings of work...damn. He wasn't that bad with the Orioles. He usually just gave up three or four runs every eight innings.

That didn't include today's effort. His season total is now 11 runs in 3.2 IP :(

Well, Brewers beat the Mets today 8-2, after getting thrashed yesterday by Tom Glavine. Highlight of the game for me was Tomo Ohka's slash bunt, where he ended up dumping an RBI double into the outfield.

Hey, give some props to The Great Wright Hope!

 

Does anyone think there's a chance that if the Nationals turn this six-game slump into a total freefall by late May, Soriano goes to the Cardinals in return for some motley assortment of crap? He's already unhappy as it is in left, and will be considerably unhappier on the worst team in the NL. The Cardinals' only real weak point is Aaron Miles at second (well Encarnacion ain't so hot either), and this would let Alfie go to a good baseball town where he can play the position he wants to play. Also, Jim Bowden is a dumbshit, and would probably give him away for like, I dunno, Spivey and Wainwright?

Wow, A's retake the lead with three homers on three pitches. I've got the TV on in the other room, which meant there were three instances of me hearing the homer, followed by three instances of me going back into the other room just in time to miss the next one.

I was at the game today and that was simply awesome. First game I've ever been to with back-to-back-to-back homeruns and to see it on three consecutive pitches (the first three of the inning) was amazing and especially cool to see the Big Hurt mixed in there for the three straight.

This is why stealing bases is overrated. Angel Pagan singles with two outs and is gunned down by plenty trying to steal second with Matt Murton up. Moments later, Murton doubles down the line, which would've easily scored the speedy Pagan.

 

Nats have been thrown out two or three times already, which is proving to be big in a tied game.

It's nice to see the Yankees throw away games just like the NY Rangers. Perfect day and weekend for NY Sport teams. Starting Wright is an automatic loss especially against Johan Santana.

Who are you talking to brusa chang? Go watch the Yankees and you can see for yourself how much Jaret Wright sucks.

With the way Arod has been playing in the field I am going to say a gold glove is on the horizon for him.

Braves up 1-0 in the bottom of the 5th. Smoltz is pitching really well, and Peavy is doing just as good minus a homerun. One thing I did NOT miss during the off-season was this awful commercial on the Braves' radio station.

 

"Looky looky looky, here comes cookie. Cook's pest control!"

I wish the Yankees were up on the Twins. Yankees just had first and second with no outs with the 4,5, and 6 hitters all failing.

I know he sucks, but with your lineup, three runs isn't a big deal. You'd figure these Yankees "fans" would be aware of that by now.

 

Angel Pagan got hurt, so that makes three Cubs rightfielders this week that have gone down.
