  1. Blanco? C'mon, this was Z's moment.
  2. i think the game will end I dunno, I think I was still shy of 3K when this game started. I only had 5000 posts before the game started. Oh yeah? I had negative infinity posts when the game started.

  4. You can't grow facial hair like he can. I can. Yeah, I've grown a full beard this week cause shaving is too much hassle during finals. It's fun to be a man.
  5. Dollars to dimes says Eyre walks Eldred.

  7. Middle relievers are a great investment since they're so likely to repeat their numbers from the previous year! :roll:
  8. A Marquis walk off would be fantastic.
  9. In shocking news, Alou just got doubled off first when he strayed too far off on a line drive.
  10. I still think that arm of his belongs in right where he can throw out people trying to advance to third too.
  11. Lou was counting on Bay to pull the ball into left field. :lol:
  12. If this game goes much longer I'm gonna need to leave to go get more cigarettes.
  13. no excuses. Just. throw. strikes. For all the talk about the mental game I keep hearing, it seems having the Sword of Damocles hanging above ones head might be the most distracting thing of all.
  14. I know Wuertz isn't looking his best, but maybe that's cause he thinks he's gonna get pulled everytime a lefty comes up. I sure hope Lou doesn't make the mistake of leaving Ohman in vs a righty... cause he gets smoked by em.
  15. Have you checked their stats? Game threads aren't for rational thought. Although to be fair, despite our inherited runners streak and generally strong numbers, we're way down the list in WXRL for a reason. We give up runs in bad opportunities. Pardon my stupidity, but what's WXRL? Win Expectation above Replacement, Lineup-adjusted Basically it's a measure of how well our bullpen does for us towards helping win games. Three innings of scoreless relief in a blowout ballgame doesn't affect it nearly as much as blown saves or holds... conversly, when Wuertz came in with the bases juiced and nobody out in a close game and struck out the side, that counted a bunch.

  17. I was thinking more along the lines of, "and we're keeping Soriano's arm in left because...?"
  18. Is Dempster starting to remind anyone else of Mitch Williams?
