Guest Queen Leelee Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 Any Mets homers know why Matthew Holliday was pulled out of the game this afternoon? I hope it was just Hurdle with his usual Little League play everyone bullshit.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 -Derrek Lee is caught stealing third during an Aramis Ramirez at-bat that led to a home run. In Lee's defense, he was safe on that play. No, he probably shouldn't have been running, but he was safe. Come on, Czech. Those are all valid points you bring up, but it is still only April 25. Valid points? They're damning indictments of a team that still has no grasp on basic fundamental baseball. Trust me, I don't like to go Chicken Little this early, but there's not a lot of encouraging stuff here, and watching your ace fritter away 5-0 and 4-0 leads in consecutive starts is as discouraging as it gets. It's a very very flawed team, as we're starting to see, from how it was assembled, to how it's sent out day-to-day, to what they do once they're out there. And yes, it is, in fact, April 25, and yes, we've only lost 13 games, but 11 of those 13 losses are divisional losses, and those are going to bite this team in the ass if they do end up pulling themselves out of last place. You don't win pennants in April, but you lose them in April. Look at the list though. It isn't a lack of talent, but a lack of fundamentals. That's damning, but it can be taught.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 Speaking of the Cubs, shocking news as Mark Prior is done for the season.
Guest Richard McBeef Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 Time to cut our losses on this guy. He lied about being hurt so he'd get more in arbitration.
Guest Queen Leelee Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 Jeez... he had his rotator cuff and shoulder fixed. Just give it up, Mark.
Guest Tzar Lysergic Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 Introducing the Cubs newest prospect:
sfaJack Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 I returned from lunch to find a crudely-made tombstone with the letters RIP and a picture of Prior taped to it, hanging on the wall of my cubicle. Oh, the hilarity!
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 Ted Lilly's certainly been golden so far. His two losses came on scores of 2-1 and 1-0.
snuffbox Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 And, in another stunning development, Sheets left the game with what might have been a groin pull. Brian Shouse also took a foul ball to the groin while watching the game.
Guest Richard McBeef Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 Ted Lilly's certainly been golden so far. His two losses came on scores of 2-1 and 1-0. Marquis has been a good starter as well, though I think Lilly's level is more likely to sustain than Marquis's. I expect that once the hitting heats up, the pitching cools down.
vivalaultra Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 A foul ball to the groin? Was he the designated 'bullpen guard' or was he just sitting with his leg spread reeeeeaaaaaaallly far apart?
Dobbs 3K Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 Hey, there's always next year, right Cubs fans?
vivalaultra Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 The Cubs are GOING BESERK~!!!!!! with offense. They probably won't score any more runs for the next week or so.
Annabelle Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 Hey, stop being a fucking cunt and stop using full names for players, thanks No. And I'm very excited about Ra. Johnson. If he can return to previous hoss status, I see the D-Backs easily winning the West. Unless the Dodgers get like a couple good hitters via trades. haha. good one. the dodgers are going to finish with the best record in the n.l.
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 You mean NL Wildcard. The Padres or Mets are the class of the NL.
treble Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 Gregg Zaun broke his thumb and is out for 6-8 weeks. So Jason Phillips and Sal Fasano are the Jays catchers!
treble Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 Jays/Yankees are cancelled tonight. Not sure what this means about Phil Hughes tomorrow, though.
Guest Queen Leelee Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 GRRRRR. Why do these things always happen to Sheets. He's not a pussy like Prior or Wood.
Guest Richard McBeef Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 Neither is Wood. Prior, total nancy, though. I like that the Brewers have brought snuffbox and Invader3k together. Invader must be goose-stepping with joy that the Brewers are in first.
Slayer Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 A foul ball to the groin? It works on so many levels!
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 another well-pitched Jon Lieber game tonight would be a good thing. Hope the big three stay hot...five in a row? And I want to see a big Myers 8th inning lockdown.
snuffbox Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 A foul ball to the groin? Was he the designated 'bullpen guard' or was he just sitting with his leg spread reeeeeaaaaaaallly far apart? He was sitting in a folding chair with his legs spread modestly (is that the word to use there?). A Cub hit a foul ball that lined into Shouse's foot and bounced back up into his whathaveyou. It was rather comical, really. Also, it was indeed a 'right groin strain' for Sheets. Hopefully nothing too severe for our ace. I think that, more than maybe anything else right now, the Brewers most glaring problem is that they are hitting an incredible amount of homeruns but they are far too often with nobody on base.
Guest Richard McBeef Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 A foul ball to the groin? It works on so many levels! 2007 World Series: Mariano Rivera takes a foul ball to the groin?
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 Howard just crushed one into the wind, 3-0 Phils and Lieber looks sharp.
vivalaultra Posted April 26, 2007 Report Posted April 26, 2007 A foul ball to the groin? It works on so many levels! 2007 World Series: Mariano Rivera takes a foul ball to the groin? This contest is over! Give that man the $10,000!
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted April 26, 2007 Report Posted April 26, 2007 Since the Red Sox hit four straight home runs on Sunday, there have been a few outlets listing the teams who have done it. One interesting note is that JD Drew was part of the festivities twice, joining the Dodgers' four home run explosion last season. A member of SABR noted that the Braves pulled the trick in 2003. Chipper Jones hit a walk-off home run on May 27. The next day, the Braves led off the game with three consecutive home runs by Rafael Furcal, Mark Derosa and Gary Sheffield.

Wow I don't remember that one. I remember Gary-Chipper-Andruw going back-to-back-to-back that year though. Is that Braves four home runs in 2 days included when they say back-to-back-to-back-to-back homeruns have happened 5 times in history?
