8/1 Pirates (Karstens) @ CUBS (Wood), 1:20pm, WGN

[Ding Dong Johnson]

This game got really ugly in a hurry.

[El Duderino]

Epic.

[Sammy Sofa]

Yeesh.

Astros are crazy to watch these days: If they lose today (trailing 13-2), they'll be 2-18 since the AS break, with a -65 run differential.

 

Oh, and RIP Camp's ERA/WHIP

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I hope Gameday can accurately show me what Cabrera has to offer.

[Careless]

Enough of Camp already.

I think all of the appearances early in the year are taking their toll. Or maybe, Camp remembered that he is not that good.

They had just enough of whatever it was to get him through the trade deadline, but no one bit.

[sneakypower]

well, Cabrera seems to have a decent slider

[El Duderino]

damn i was hoping for 6 in a row

[Smack]

So two swinging K's in 3 batters faced. He looked good?

Working comfortably at 93-94, good late bite on the slider.

[El Duderino]

he got 6/7 swing and misses on his slider.

I had no idea this was Cabrera's debut. I think I just made him and Caridad the same person in my mind or something. Great outing though, it'd be nice for him and Beliveau to give some hope for middle relief next year.

[Smack]

Cool, thanks guys.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Gameday is really messed up. It keeps trying to tell me LaHair has 2 doubles today.

[TruffleShuffle]

this could be an epic fake rally.

Or maybe he had a bad game like so many middle relievers have before him.

The way the Astros are going, we're going to be closer to third than to sixth in a matter of days. Right now we're 12 back of the Cards and 9.5 ahead of the Astros.

Nice debut by Cabrera by the way. And I knew about the Pirates getting Snider, but how/when did they end up with Gaby Sanchez?

How dare you? Cabrera is great and Caridad isn't good at baseball.

He's been a reliever for 3 months and sounds like someone in witness protection, I make no apologies.

1. What happened to Shawn Camp?

2. Where was Dale Sveum when Camp was giving up seven hits?

[Theo]

Camp was do for a regression, but I have noticed Svuem really can be hesitent at times to pull a reliever even when it's clear he has nothing that particular day. I hope he cleans this habit up by the time we are a good.
