Guest Vitamin X Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 This is so embarrassing. Phucking Phillies. Hmm? That 7-1 game going on? Yeah.
NYU Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 If you want to run down pitchers for giving up runs, you're probably getting too emotionally invested in your sports. Agreed. Carlos Delgado has it coming much more than Ross Ohlendorf does.
Bigelow34 Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 If you want to run down pitchers for giving up runs, you're probably getting too emotionally invested in your sports. Touche. I just hate seeing nice leads pissed away less than 20 minutes later. I like Ross. And Derek Jeter getting picked off 2nd with two on and two out and A-Rod at the plate. That is annoying too.
Bruiser Chong Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 Is it safe to assume that Felix Pie would have more than three singles in almost 30 plate appearances? Damn, too bad Theriot couldn't execute on that bunt.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 This is so embarrassing. Phucking Phillies. Hmm? That 7-1 game going on? Yeah. Embarrassing to whom though? That's my question.
Bruiser Chong Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 Yeah, I'm confused, as well. Thank god for Ramirez and Fukudome, because Broxton versus Edmonds was sure to be nothing short of ugly.
Guest Vitamin X Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 Embarrassing to whom though? That's my question. The Rockies and their fanbase.
Smartly Pretty Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 Jay Bruce's debut thus far has been pretty great. 2-2, two walks, rbi, stolen base.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 Embarrassing to whom though? That's my question. The Rockies and their fanbase. The Rockies are so decimated by injuries, it's hard to blame them much for their recent failures. Few teams can survive the loss of guys like Matt Holliday, Troy Tulowitzki and Brad Hawpe all at once.
geniusMoment Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 Great debut for bruce, the second hit was off a lefty specialist. 2-2, 2 walks, 2 runs, 1 sb and a RBI
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 Grounds crew is poised behind the tarp in Baltimore. Philly just hit a rain delay, probably the same storm system. Should not last too long, but the storms are fairly strong.
Guest Desensitized Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 This is why the season needs to start in mid-June, right Czech? I have never said that the season should start in mid-June, Alan. I have said that cold-weather cities shouldn't open the season at home. And as far as I'm concerned, it's summer after Memorial Day. The temperature dropped about 40 degrees here in like two hours, and I'm quite cross about this. I couldn't jog today!

You can call Memorial Day the first day of summer, but nature obviously disagrees. First day of summer is either june 20 or 21.
Guest Desensitized Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 No, I'm not going to indulge this. Fuck solstices, I shouldn't be freezing my ass off on May 27th.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 I'm surprised Joe Girardi didn't get himself tossed.
geniusMoment Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 BRUCE! 3-3 now with a double off the wall and another RBI, now 3-3, 2 walks, 2 runs, 2 RBI's and a stolen base.
the max Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 No, I'm not going to indulge this. Fuck solstices, I shouldn't be freezing my ass off on May 27th. Fuck science!
Guest Desensitized Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 No, I'm not going to indulge this. Fuck solstices, I shouldn't be freezing my ass off on May 27th. Fuck science! You're in Tampa. YOU DON'T FEEL MY PAIN. This is why I cling to guns and religion And the Braves are a joke. What a joke of a team they are at this moment.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 I'm surprised Joe Girardi didn't get himself tossed. those umps should be suspended or something for trying to continue the game through that rainstorm. And screw Girardi for using the rainstorm to get a cheap double steal in and then arguing about the rain. The Umps have it in for the Os this year when it comes to bad weather. They played that game back in Chicago through a steady cold rain the entire game to the point where the field wasn't playable at all and they had to suspend the game. then they try and pull this here tonight. Like I said over at the OH, is it going to take someone getting hurt for them to wake up and decide they need to call the game and put the tarp out?
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 They finished the inning. What a travesty.
Guest Desensitized Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 The Umps have it in for the Os Marvin Harrelson all of a sudden.
Brett Favre Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 It makes sense. I could see the umps thinking "Nothing keeps me going more than screwing over the Os."
bob_barron Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 No, I'm not going to indulge this. Fuck solstices, I shouldn't be freezing my ass off on May 27th. Fuck science! And the Braves are a joke. What a joke of a team they are at this moment. They do poorly on the road for whatever reason. They're coming off a really strong homestand though
Precious Roy Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 I can't believe we're losing a series to the Orioles. And we're in last place. Not that I'm worried, I never panic with the Yankees, but this is still pretty pathetic. And I'm definitely not thrilled about moving Joba to the rotation, or the month long process it involves. Maybe it helps solve some of our starting pitching issues down the line, but it's just going to cause problems in the bullpen and wreck a perfect combination we had going, one of the few things working right with this club, and in the short term the usage of Joba in preparation of the move leads to losses like tonight where we can't pitch Joba when we need him because he's on a stretching out schedule. Like tonight we used Mo for two innings in a tie game when it should be Joba in that situation, and that's exactly the kind of shit that wore him out when Torre was managing. Mark my words, and I've been saying it since the offseason, trying to balance this change from reliever to starter with the bullpen options we have is going to bite us in the ass big time. Maybe Hughes can work the 8th when he comes back. And maybe we can trade Joe Girardi for Willie Randolph, that would solve everyones problems. Does Don Mattingly still want the joba?
MFer Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 Tigers waste a good pitching performance for the 2nd day in a row to the Angels. It's still a little early, but things don't seem to be getting any better with this team.
DMann2003 Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 I was a witness to history. Just got back finally from the Reds/Pirates and Jay Bruce couldn't have been more warmly received, or delivered much better. And just let me say kudos to Adam Dunn, 3-run blast put us over the top and we never looked back and then added another RBI next inning. It's so good to see Dunn firing on all cylinders right now. But Bruce man...BRUCE!!!

Here's what I don't understand. The Yankees have a nice bullpen setup with Chamberlain leading to Rivera. They are also under .500. Doesn't that put the importance of relief pitchers into perspective? I'm sorry, but a guy pitching the eighth inning only when his team is ahead is not as important as nine position starters or any of your starting pitchers. The Yankees were only in the game because they scored eight runs. Had they a reliable starter who throws a quality start (three runs, six innings), they win that game easily.
Dobbs 3K Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 Julian "The World's Ugliest Pitcher" Tavarez, looked good in his debut with the Brewers last night. I'll take it.
