8/14 Losers Thread: Pirates (Morton) @ Cubs (Wells) 1:20 WGN

[Sammy Sofa]

Soriano, for the love of all that is sacred, get at least one [expletive] run in.

[Outshined_One]

"Bootcheck" is an awesome name.

 

No one will ever beat Rusty Kuntz.

 

Daley Cox was up there... but we just released him.

 

The jokes wrote themselves! I was very sad to see him go. :(

 

Don't be a moron, Alf.

The bad-I have Morton starting today on my fantasy team...The better-I have Fox and Fuku starting on my fantasy team today- The Best- The Cubs are kicking ass

 

If Morton was starting on your fantasy team, I think the season was already lost.

 

Haha he was my daily waiver wire pickup, because I had no pitchers starting today. What better pitcher to pickup than the one facing the Cubs? Win-win situation lol

1 ip 8 runs 7 hits 3 bb 1k

 

So you are saying a 72.00 ERA and a 10.00 WHIP so far isnt good?

Don't forget, you're a hit away from 90 ERA

[Outshined_One]

Good Soriano would have taken that last pitch out of the park.

 

But we got decent Soriano who singled in a run instead. Nice.

[Sammy Sofa]

Fine, but that strike 2 should have been out onto the streets.

[Rob]

Sori's leg kick was reaaally off on those first two pitches.

It's cool, not all of the runs were earned. I think it's only a 54.00 ERA.

 

Edit: Never mind, all earned. Yahoo's box score is stupid.

 

 

Its now an 81.00 ERA lol

 

90.00!

I went to the A&WS one year when they had some military jet go from horizontal to true vertical, kick on the afterburners, and disappear like a rocket into the sky

 

yes, its amazing when they do that. those afterburners vibrate your soul. terrifying to think about how it would feel to be on the receiving end of one of those things.

[Outshined_One]

Sori's leg kick was reaaally off on those first two pitches.

 

He always has bizarre timing issues when he's trying to get out of his cold streaks. However, the result of his previous AB gives me some hope he can turn on the heat over the next few days.

 

11-0 in the 2nd? No outs?? AND JETS??? AWESOME!

[Sammy Sofa]

OK, this is just absurd.

[Derwood]

just score 30 runs today

[Magdal]

This is insane!!! Batted around and no outs!!! SAVE SOME RUNS!!!

[JonJayCutler]

The Cubs are pissed.

[Careless]

I want to see the Pirates use position players to pitch today

[Outshined_One]

Too bad run differential counts for nothing in baseball.

[Rob]

call me crazy... but I kinda want to see Koyie hit into a triple play here.

 

I can't imagine anybody has ever hit a triple and a triple play in the same inning before.

[CubInOK]

DFA Hill.

[Careless]

17 pitches for Bootcheck to get his first out

[Outshined_One]

There's the Ronny Cedeno we know and love.

[Careless]

Fox looking happy in the dugout, I want to see Miles looking glum

[Sammy Sofa]

The conundrum that is Cedeno: gets to balls that Theriot never would and throws like Theriot only dreams he could yet seemingly makes a bajillion times more errors.

[Rob]

There's the Ronny Cedeno we know and love.

 

That was a tough play.

[Old Style]

Just when I think I'm out, they pull me right back in.

[SouthSideRyan]

Ruled a single on Gameday.
