TWIB: June 5-11

[Guest]

Sad thing is, it feels like a day that it will actually happen. Day games always seem like the time for it to occur.

There we go, three singles. Good thing, too, since Neifi and the pitcher are due next.

When will Scott Proctors arm literally fall off?

 

I say July 1.

Wanted: Shortstop

 

The Boston Red Sox are looking for a major league shortstop that is capable of swinging the bat and making GOOD contact with the baseball. Defense is a plus, not required.

 

Interested parties contact Theo Epstein.

Horacio Ramirez just took a Lance Berkman line drive off the face. It looked nasty as Hell. But, he was able to stand up and walk off of the field with a little help. Yeesh, it looked painful as all get out, but the 'Stros are up 7-1, so hopefully we win and Horacio's ok.

Why does Chicago fall apart against every team except Cincy?

[Bruiser Chong 0]

David Ortiz is just unreal sometimes.

[Cuban Linx 0]

Once Crisp singled i'd conceded the fact the game was only going to end on an Ortiz or Ramirez 3-run homer.

I love you, David Ortiz.

Ronny! Good to see the Cubs hitting it out with runners ON. To think this game was one pitch away from having an entirely different complexion a half-inning ago.

Please don't tell me were going to get SWEPT by the Oakland As.

 

PLEASE.

Reitsma comes in and loads the bases with no outs, so he's got a great chance to get that ERA over 8. YOU CAN DO IT!

[Bruiser Chong 0]

Jeter UNclutch for the second day in a row.

[Guest Smues]

And 2 score and still no outs. Moving his ERA to........ 8.31. And there's still 2 on, come on Chris make it 9!

 

Oh and Jeter gets the final out to give the A's the win. A-rod's unclutchness must have rubbed off on him I blame A-rod!

[Guest Smues]

Ask and I shall recieve. A 3 run shot makes it 5 straight hits off of Reitsma, for 5 runs, and an ERA of ...... 9.35.

 

And he's still pitching. He might just get it up to 10 in this game alone.

Man...Reitsma blows. At least every homerun is worth $17,000 for prostate cancer research. If Booby Cox doesn't get Reitsma outta there soon, the 'Stros might raise a million dollars just in this inning.

A's sweep the Yankees in New York for the first time in 12 years. Street saves all three games. Dan Johnson has risen from the dead as apparantly he was having a problem with "dry eyes" early in the season which was causing him to have blurry vision which led to him being dreadful at the plate but he's been red hot the last couple of weeks. Eye drops are a PED!

[Guest Smues]

An out gets the ERA down to 9.23. Come on Chris you can get to 10, don't get any of those pesky outs!

 

And yay as I type that he allows his 6th hit of the inning. And it looks like he gets one more batter.

[Guest Smues]

Boo 2 outs and the ERA is 9.11, he might get it down to 9 this inning

 

But hey look base hit number 7 and there's 2 on with 2 outs. And he's STILL PITCHING. All he needs is to give up another homerun here.

[Guest Smues]

And he beans Taveras this inning just keeps getting better. Bases loaded. Only god knows if he'll pitch the next batter.

[Guest Smues]

Reitsma is finally lifted with a final tally of 2/3 IP, 7 H, 5 ER, 1 HBP, and he's still got 3 runners on that could score. I don't know if I should be rooting for Yates to get the out or just allow the runs to complete Reitsma's disgrace.

 

And wow KC turned a triple play.

 

edit: And Francoeur saves Reitsma further embarassment and the inning is over. What a nightmare.

How is the world does Reitsma even have a job at this point?

[Guest Smues]

He's probably just there to make the other pitchers in the bullpen feel better about themselves.

[vivalaultra 0]

I know I feel better about myself every time that I see him pitch. I think I could do better than him.

[Vampiro69 0]

I should send Reitsma and email saying that we have an open slot for a pitcher on my softball team.

I'm sure the other teams in your league have already told him about your opening.

I think the Padres and Giants are two of the dullest, most uncompelling teams in the NL.

Gavin Floyd had another good outing in Scranton today, with seven innings pitched, two runs allowed, and eight strikeouts. Since his demotion, he's actually looked like a prospect.

It'll be a miracle if Francona ever wakes up and realises that you should try to win both games of a double-header and not just one. Any time that they win the first game he decides to wave the white flag for the second by placing his entire bench in the starting line-up and removing the better hitters.
