Wilson A2000

Pretty physical game so far. Both teams really want this game. Noah is playing pretty darn good with a lot of energy crashing the boards. Rose threw a pass that terribly missed its target and Pete Meyers caught it. He held it over his head and wouldn't let Rondo get it.

He's blossomed under the tutelage of Vinny. Wait, what?

He throws plenty hard without them. Plus, it must be hella hard to steal on him. A righty out of the pen in this age who can't break 90? It's intentional; he's primarily a sinker/change pitcher. When he came over from the Yankees, he reportedly could throw in the low 90s without much trouble, but he'd lose a lot of movement. OK. I like a 90 MPH well placed fastball with some movement over 95 center cut anyday.

Walks clog the bases dude.

Does Z throw a change? I think if he had an offpseed pitch that moved in on righties he would be that much better because it would be very difficult to differentiate that from his sinker.

Berg needs to learn how to use his legs.

Len: "Silva has found new life in the National League." The National League is the key word there.

The only thing I can say is that he is fat, but I don't mind. I love fat pitchers.

What were the reasons Lou is giving out as to why the typical starters are getting benched already? He went off on the reporters yesterday for getting all worked up 2 days into the season. But then he responds by pulling this. I don't care if it is a day game after a night game, its the third stinking game of the year. He's going to get Geo, Soriano, and Fuke pressing.

How far out does the blackout go? That is unbelievable. But hey, they got to be able to raise money to run the course because the billionaires who belong to the club pay a measly $10,000 a year in dues. A couple of my thoughts. 1. What are those lines in the green in some of them as if someone took a large rake and raked it? 2. I was pretty ticked off at Billy Payne for saying that Tiger letting down those who thought he was their role model was worse than what he did to his family. First of all I would only want to my kids to imitate Tiger on the golf course. There are very few athletes that people want their kids to imitate for what they do away from sports. Secondly, the heartbreak he put his family through is far far worse than anything else. Payne put Woods on a pedestal in order to tear him down because few parents, even before the affairs, told their kids to model Woods' private life. 3. The plane that was flying around had a huge letdown in its message today. They could really get nasty with that thing. Today's just had to do with disbelieving Tiger Woods' excuse of being a sex addict. Did he ever say he was? The plane was visited by the FAA yesterday for safety violations and had to fix a few things up. 4. Woods/ 11th mistress, the porn star, had an interview on Atlanta's sports radio station. She said his whole entourage knew what he was doing. She said she stayed with Tiger in his hotel room during tournaments. She knew Tiger was married, but took no responsibility for her actions because Tiger pursued her. She had the gall to say that Tiger should apologize to her because she was in love with him and he just cut off the relationship once he got found out. She said that it has been very tough being dumped like that and she is going through emotional struggles and might not ever be able to marry because she has trust issues with men now. She wants to sit down with Elin and tell her how pathetic Tiger is. Unbelievable.

The pen was below average to begin with, then Guzman went down. Lou is picking his poison right now.

You seriously have to just be trolling/trying to be contrarian on purpose. What? Who is better than Grabow the Cubs could have? It was one game, give the guy a break. Yes he blew the game, but the offense didn't do their part.

Are you glad he got that ridiculous extension? Yes. If you thought there was somebody better than he was, he could have taken one of the other spots.

yeah i thought both of the last two missed but i'm not really sure why geo isn't being more protective of the plate with a 2 strike count down 1 in the 9th. fight it off or something He was looking dead fastball. Not much you can do with a slider on the black.

Cubs had to capitalize more in that inning where they had the sacks loaded. Grabow will be fine. I was glad when they got him and I am glad they kept him.

I wouldn't throw Soriano one fastball here

Not hitting that pitch. Wow!

NSSB posters appropriately having a fit on the baord

I wasn't watching, but it sounded to me like there wasn't much he could do about that It would have been bang bang at the bag if Aramis would have held up. But yeah, I was just looking to prove my point.

Back to the fundamentals with Aramis point I was making

Unfortunately 85 pitches

i foresee some heavy FCC fines in the marine corps' future. That commercial has been on for a while.

Good karma this inning due to the blown McClotuh incident. Make 'em pay Gio.
