Xavier Nady hits a sac fly to LF, Bay scores. One out, 3-0 Pirates.

Errant pickoff throw by Z, Doumit advances to second base.

Adam LaRoche flies out to CF. Two outs.

Ronny Paulino strikes out looking. Three outs.

 

1 IP, 3 ER, 3 H, 1 K, 1 HBP, 35 pitches (23 strikes).

[BigSlick]

Bleh. I really hope he's not injured.

[Garwilly]

Mark_R just called. He apologized to the board, and accepted full blame.

[Jake]

Mahlom is pitching for his spot today, I hope.

 

On the team, not just on the rotation.

[Chris]

Len and Bob comparing the game to a root canal

 

HA HA

 

bad analogy. root canals actually make insufferable pain stop. This is more like an abscessed tooth

 

I wouldn't know, so I can't co-sign or no-sign on this one

[Rob]

On the plus side of things, my fantasy team's offense is looking pretty good.

 

Adam Dunn along has more HR and RBI than my opponent's entire team this week. And despite the fact I'm batting .215 to their .298, I'm still beating them .330 to .328 on OBP.

[Chocolate Milk]

Ronny: "He's got...normal fastball"

[Soul]

Progress. "Only" gave up 3. didnt he give up 4 last time.

 

He's doing very bad. Its getting scary.

Weird

 

Yeah, something's amiss. It's closing in on mid-May now. He was always shaky in April, but it usually cleared up by now.

 

Add to that his odd arm angle thingy which to be honest I've never seen before (but maybe I just didn't notice)? I don't think an injury is out of the question.

 

You know Z isn't going to just cry injury at the first sign of trouble. He's going to try and tough it out.

[FergieJ31]

I predict Z cruises thru the 2nd, 3rd and 4th, then walks a couple guys + a hit or two in the 5th. Then Lou will send him to the showers.

[Guest]

This guy is hurt, IMO.

 

Why else become a sidearm thrower?

 

/wonders if Zambrano is the next Prior/Wood

 

Agreed that he's hurt. Elbow injury, imo.

[Chocolate Milk]

Soriano....walks?

[Brian]

nice AB, don't screw up on the base path now

[soccer10k]

Mark_R just called. He apologized to the board, and accepted full blame.

 

Can the mods temporarily/jokingly ban Mark, and send him an email about it? Just like a "thanks for causing the Cubs to lose 2 of 3, you're banned....just kidding" sort of thing?

[moorecg]

gotta try hard to walk Soriano.....maybe we can get these runs back.

[RegulusBlue]

Nice walk!

I feel better about not signing him.

[Derwood]

soriano walked ? :shock:

[RichHillIsABeast]

Good work, Soriano!

[TheDude]

Good news! Zambrano didn't walk anybody!

Haha, yeah wait until he logs in with an alternate and complains, then unban him and play dumb. "Banned? You were never banned!"

[Derwood]

Good news! Zambrano didn't walk anybody!

 

meaning his game WHIP is a solid 3.00

Coming along nicely.

The Yankees do, too. :wink:

 

Well -- better about not trading for him.
