Guest Queen Leelee Posted April 2, 2007 Report Posted April 2, 2007 Well, you got through one game with Freel and Griffey unscathed. Keep it up! I like that Reds team. Dunn and Phillips are fun. Plus, the power pitchers.
therealworldschampion Posted April 2, 2007 Report Posted April 2, 2007 Gah, the Phils bullpen is still drizzling shits. Maybe it's just me, but I'm not a fan of batting Howard 3rd and Utley 4th.
Guest Smues Posted April 2, 2007 Report Posted April 2, 2007 The Worst Manager in Baseball Charlie Manuel puts the Phillies CLOSER in for the 9th, when the game is tied. He then puts Shits Madson in for the 10th, who gives up the big homerun. BRILLIANT, CHARLIE! New season, same suck. We put our closer in in the 9th when it was tied too. We won. Using your closer in a tie game is not a bad idea at all.
Guest Posted April 2, 2007 Report Posted April 2, 2007 There's nothing wrong with getting your closer acclimated on Opening Day. It's good to get them in a close game as soon as possible.
Vern Gagne Posted April 2, 2007 Report Posted April 2, 2007 For whatever reason Clint Hurdle got a two year contract extension.
Hawk 34 Posted April 2, 2007 Report Posted April 2, 2007 Well, you got through one game with Freel and Griffey unscathed. Keep it up! I like that Reds team. Dunn and Phillips are fun. Plus, the power pitchers. Leena's on the bandwagon. Great.
Guest Queen Leelee Posted April 2, 2007 Report Posted April 2, 2007 Yes. And because other than Milwaukee and Pittsburgh in your division, who will both blow, you don't have obsessed fans on this board.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted April 2, 2007 Report Posted April 2, 2007 Gah, the Phils bullpen is still drizzling shits. Maybe it's just me, but I'm not a fan of batting Howard 3rd and Utley 4th. Why not? I'm just interested in hearing your reasoning.
snuffbox Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 Sheets had the bext opening day pitching performance in 15 years. Neat.
Bored Posted April 3, 2007 Author Report Posted April 3, 2007 Great start to the season for Bobby Crosby, lets one go right through his legs and then next inning lets a tailor made, inning ending, double play throw from Dan Haren clang right off his mit helping lead to an ongoing Mariner four run inning.
iggymcfly Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 Woo hoo for the Orioles! Roughing up Santana in the 4th. And best of all, they did it playing real baseball. Not one bullshit home run the whole inning.
Brett Favre Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 Great start to the season for Bobby Crosby, lets one go right through his legs and then next inning lets a tailor made, inning ending, double play throw from Dan Haren clang right off his mit helping lead to an ongoing Mariner four run inning. Atleast he didn't get hurt.
Guest Queen Leelee Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 Why isn't Ramon Hernandez playing.
Mik Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 Can I just take a moment to point out that Hanley Ramirez is your lord and master? He's just so damn good. And to think, I was sad to see Beckett go.
2GOLD Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 Why isn't Ramon Hernandez playing. Pulled muscle in his rib cage. He's out for the series and they hope he'll be back for the next one.
KingPK Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 Curt Schilling (back left) and Julio Lugo (right) after today's opener. My God, was that a pathetic start to the season or what? Though it will be funny to see Kaufman Stadium and about 10 others that were jam packed today like 1/4th full tomorrow and Wednesday.
geniusMoment Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 A couple of things I noticed at the Reds game: 1. Some drunk fan is going to fall off the new Riverboat Pavillion 2. Adam Dunn has a nice ass! Not that I looked.
geniusMoment Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 Did Czech kill himself, I haven't seen him posting recently.
Hawk 34 Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 Did Czech kill himself, I haven't seen him posting recently. He retired.
strummer Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 The baseball threads aren't going to be the same without Czech and Bruiser Chong ranting about all things Cub.
vivalaultra Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 If anybody hadn't heard...Brad Lidge is still ass. Roy O goes 7 2/3 innings, gives up 3 hits, one run. Wheeler comes in, gets Bay out. The only fuckin' batter I was worried about in the lineup was Jason Bay. Lidge comes in to start the 9th. The 'Stros are up 2-1. Lidge strikes out LaRoche on 3 pitches. Paulino grounds out on 2 pitches. Ex-Javier Nady, first pitch, 390 foot homerun. Damn. I wasn't planning on going 162-0 this year, but that was a shitty way to start the season. I'm willing to give Lidge a chance for a couple of weeks, but it's liking like they shoulda pulled the trigger on the trade with the Red Sox or the one with the Indians for Cliff Lee. It wasn't all bad, though. I won a free t-shirt playing 'Baseball Trivia'. My question was "Who was the famous cokehead first baseman for the Mets?" I, of course, said Keith Hernandez. I also got the bonus question right. The answer to the bonus was Doc Gooden.
Guest Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 Did Czech kill himself, I haven't seen him posting recently. Heh. Funny you should mention that.
Cheech Tremendous Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 The baseball threads aren't going to be the same without Czech and Bruiser Chong ranting about all things Cub. What happened to Bruiser?
strummer Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 No idea, but he hasn't posted here in ages (unless I'm missing something)
Mik Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 Man, I hadn't noticed that Bruiser was gone until now but come to think about it I wish that he weren't.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 Listened to a lot of baseball on the radio yesterday. Rating the announcers I heard. 1. Kansas City 2. Colorado 3. Minnesota 4. Philadelphia 5. Seattle Denny Matthews is outstanding. I don't think there is a better play-by-play man when it comes to detail, keeping the listener informed and in the game. The Mariners' radio announcer (Dave Niehaus?) was awful. He could not decide whether the Athletics' starter was Haren or Harden, switching between the two mid-broadcast.
