08/22 Philadelphia (Moyer) @ CUBS (O'Malley) 7:05 CDT, CSNTV

I wish this loser wasn't on the team. Let a young guy have a crack at it, rather than wasting time with a washed up bum.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

That's a shame for O'Malley.

 

15 of his last 16 pitches were strikes and he had 0-2 counts on his last 4 batters.

There's a steak house in Amarillo that's home to a 72 oz steak. If you can eat it all...including the fat and the potato then it's free. If not, I think it's like a $65 steak.

[TruffleShuffle]

Gameday sasy "Injury delay." What happened?

 

Some kind of elbow issue to O'Malley, Len's saying that he was on the DL earlier this year, I think, with tennis elbow. O'Malley coming out.

 

That can't be right. He's a baseball player.

[cheapseats]

Bob Brenly is doing his part to sell Rusch. He just compared him to Billy Wagner. :shock:

[Fred Hornkohl]

Dellucci flied out to left field

 

Hey Fred, I'm spending the next three days in Amarillo, Texas, wherever that is. do you have any suggestions/tips (even heard of the place?).

 

By the way, Pujols has a 3 run HR and a grand slam tonight, Pujols 7, Mets 6 after 6 innings.

 

I'll be in Amarillo tomorrow morning !!

 

Trucking down I-40? I'll be flying in about 9:20 and downtown the rest of the day.

 

Yeah... I'm about 8 hours out of Amarillo, and I'm gonna head out as soons as the game is over..... but I don't imagine I'll make it without a nap along the way.

Maybe you'll get your wish considering theMets are reportedly interested in him.

I'm pretty sure that's what I heard Len say, though granted I was typing as he was talking. I know I've heard of some baseball player getting tennis elbow though.

I think, but I'm not sure. Maybe some more medically inclined fellow can enlighten us.

[TruffleShuffle]

Bob Brenly is doing his part to sell Rusch. He just compared him to Billy Wagner. :shock:

 

Yeah, he's like Wagner in 2000, when he was pitching with a messed up elbow and had an ERA over 6.

[Jim Ignatowski]

Yeah, I heard about that 72 oz steak place in Amarillo. After spending a day (first of three) with lawyers, I might just go there, although I'm sure the lawyers will want to go drinking and charge me for it.

 

Be careful Fred. I'll be wearing my Cubs cap, so keep a lookout.
