2 K's for Lee today :(

[Coach C]

Man, that was a sad inning.

[XZero771679666304]

Wait. Neifi just bunted a popout to short? How does that happen?

 

Neifi is a pioneer of suckitude. He is always blazing a trail of new and inventive ways to fail.

 

 

Derrek needs a day off, IMO.

Then Derrek should have hinted at that.

 

Oh, wait. He did.

 

Dusty has been very un-Dusty-like in that regard this year. Any other year and he would not have been riding Lee and Burnitz this hard.

[Flames24Rulz]

2nd K for Tracy :)

[Coach C]

Sit down Tracy.

 

Glad to see that JoBo is doing well in TB, or so I hear.

[KatJ]

You know, as much as I bash Dusty, we do have a terrible time with managers in general (and perhaps also general managers?). What's wrong with this organization in that regard? Can't always blame the manager.

[Flames24Rulz]

Sit down Tracy.

0 runs in 6 1/3 innings. Pretty good.

Hopefully once ARam gets back Derrek can get a day or two off... the Cubs' offense is pretty lousy with ARam and DLee; I'd hate to see it without both of them in the lineup.

Lowered expectations?

[Flames24Rulz]

nice DP :D

[Omar]

Good double play!

[Coach C]

Sit down Tracy.

0 runs in 6 1/3 innings. Pretty good.

 

Not to mention that his ERA is dropping at a dramatic rate. Wow.

 

Nice 6-4-3 DP.

[Coach C]

Lowered expectations?

 

No. I always liked JoBo. He may not have a overwhelimg fastball or anything, but the guy has heart, and is a class-act.

Dusty had his chance to do that yesterday, though. Perhaps he'll sit Lee or Burnitz Sunday (when I'm going...) to give one of them 2 days off.

 

Whenever there's a late extra-innings game, the same thing almost always happens. Once they lose that 2nd game after the late one, everyone says that it's always the 2nd game when you feel really sluggish (and not the first). Lee talked about it. Dusty talked about it. And yet nothing is done to avoid that. If it's true, why rest people the next day and not the 2nd?

[Coach C]

Bah. Burnitz K's.

[Omar]

Burnitz strikes out.

Dusty either ignores or is oblivious to the obvious sometimes.

 

I think the Almighty could blast a message into a stone wall with lightning right in front of him and he would disregard it if he didn't agree.

I meant not as much pressure - TB is not exactly a dominating club (although they did sweep the Yankees earlier this year).

 

No one is understanding me today - maybe I need to take an ESL course.

[Omar]

Walker flys out. 2 down.

[KatJ]

Bah. Burnitz K's.

 

Isn't that #2 on him for the day?

[Outshined_One]

Some one stole Dempster's bike?!

[Coach C]

And the offense is still sleeping.

Comes from the top down, yeah. I don't think something like resting players is discussed with Hendry, though.

[KatJ]

Lunch time. See y'all. :)
