belTRON

Do you know that Micah in Hebrew means, "who is like god."

 

Yeah, but Micah in Latin means "will beat you to death with a big stick"

 

I thought that was Geovany?

 

No, but you are close. Geovany in Latin is "will have his way with you with a big stick"

[AlwaysaCub]

Ramon Martinez versus Bobby Howry...this is quite the interesting matchup.

 

For whatever reason, I see this as a less stressful version of Tightpants Farnsworth versus Julio Franco.

[BigbadB]

What the Howry?

 

Lou really does have it in for Milwaukee, doesn't he?

 

Why on Earth would he bring in Howry in this situation?

[hotshot13422]

it's BOB HOWRY TIME!!

nice. the ladies love him.

It's nice to watch a game with Howry coming in, and not be nervous what he does. Clinching early is our friend.

[E.J.]

Howry is really good at throwing pitches down the middle of the plate.

[Vinestal]

LOL

What do you figure the scouting report on Howry looks like?

 

Bob Howry:

Throws a low 90s fastball.

Cannot locate any other pitch.

[Smack]

Howry is awesome!

[BigbadB]

Howry is really good at throwing pitches down the middle of the plate.

 

Ya gotta like Howry. He's not an excuse maker.

[mikeyt34]

Good. A one run game. It makes the Mets fan's heartbreak even more enjoyable.

[hotshot13422]

Holy howry, howry threw a slider! it was a ball, but still, a slider!!

[Ball And Glove]

How do you not make that freaking tag??

[Smack]

I think this outing locks up his post-season roster spot.

[anabiono]

wow, i would trust bob howry with my unborn child's life...always

[MasterBlaster]

Pat Hughes is saying Hill slipped. Is he missing some toes as well?

[BigbadB]

The part that I don't understand is how the defense hasn't figured out yet how to defend Howry's pitches. They've seen him give up that same pitch thousands of times this year. It's clearly the defense's fault these runs scored. Not Howry. :-))

[hotshot13422]

How do you not make that freaking tag??

 

because it's koyie hill. Soto would have just eaten the runner

[E.J.]

Cotts and Howry. Quality bullpen arms.

[Hall7810]

Bob thinks he was bracing for contact. Either way--meaningless game or not--our bullpen doesn't inspire must confidence.

[hotshot13422]

PLEASE give up the lead howry! i will be pissed if this ends a tied game

[Guest]

Cotts and Howry. Quality bullpen arms.

 

Good thing they ditched Eyre to make Cotts the primary lefty reliever. Meh.

[Brian]

Bob thinks he was bracing for contact. Either way--meaningless game or not--our bullpen doesn't inspire must confidence.

 

Well in the playoffs we would have handed this game to marmol/wood with a 2 run lead, not cotts/howry.

Seeing that play at the plate about 7 times in the last minute on NY feed, I can only say that Koyie sucks ... not a big deal, but he's very minor league.
