  1. I hate when our O shuts down. Especially after a hot first inning. It's maddening.
  2. Leave it to Wuertz. Jesus. Get out of this thing, K?
  3. I really think it's time you considered freaking out. We're down 2 runs in Houston with 4 trips to the plate left Also, I don't get that upset about regular season games going awry, it's a good way to drive yourself crazy We haven't been that great on the road this year. And we've played a ton of home games. I worry this team isn't as good as it seems. It's not just about this game, it's about what it means in the larger pattern. At least for me.
  4. Will someone please remind Chacon that he's going to suck after we leave town anyway?
  5. I really think it's time you considered freaking out.
  6. 5-3 Stros. Gallagher's done. Maybe for longer than just 5 days.
  7. I'm the most composed, least-apt poster around here to overreact. So I guess I'd make your 5.
  8. Can you blame them? This game is looking identical to last night. Chacon should not have gotten settled in like this. He's a bad pitcher. It's the top of the 5th. After the first, this team has put together a collection of horrid atbats, I think that's why people are frustrated. No patience after the first. Yesterday after the grand slam it was "calm down everyone we can get it back." Guess what. We didn't. Agreed, we will lose every game that we ever trail in for the remainder of the season Haha. Ur funny d00d.

  10. I'd like to keep it that way, but it won't happen playing like this.
  11. The starting rotation is still a problem on this team. We're going to see this alot.
  12. Well that was a sucky game now wasn't it. I think I'll mentally refuse to acknowledge tonight even happened. Much better that way.
  13. I don't get what the deal is with Sampson. He's posted a 15 ERA at home so far this year. Why can't we hit him? He's a clown, come on.
  14. +1 If it wasn't a family site, I'd put it in even more coloful terms.
  15. THE BULLS HAVE THE #1 FREAKING PICK!!! OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111
  16. I noticed they are mentioning him more & more though. He's becoming very difficult to ignore.
  17. Padres: season over.
  18. Mid-90s FB (tops out at 97), plus slider, passable change. Hard thrower. Lemme guess... control issues? He has 8 walks to his 23 Ks in 21.2 IP so far this year at Iowa. Last year, he walked just 18 in 78.0 IP with 71 Ks at AA. He has also allowed just 1 HR this year and just 1 all of last season in the minors. He also walked 6 in 16 innings in Atlanta last year. Not bad control at all. Though, he was hit hard last year. I think he'll work out fine. Fox was a nice story, but he wasn't really doing anything.
  19. Great as his career was, at this point Mad Dog's not really providing much value out there. I don't think he's appreciably better than internal options we have available to replace Marquis -- namely, Marshall.
  20. I'm predicting he'll either make an out or get on base. Bucknor is behind the plate tonight? Demp is gonna be on the opposing end of some BS calls, methinks. Between Riley's blown HR call Sunday, and then both the bothched caught stealing and the bogus non-HR call in yesterday's Cub game, the umps are off to a great start this week.
  21. Pretty sure Houston did that a couple of years ago Also, Francisco Cordova Ricardo Rincon though that was in 10 innings I don't think I could rob a pitcher of a once-in-a-lifetime experience over 20 or 30 pitches. I'd rather be more cautious with him later, get him out of a game or two early sometime down the road.
  22. Dusty will ensure us that we have nothing to worry about when it comes to the Reds. I'm worried about it being his first season with them, because of '03 with us. But I hear you.
  23. I'm thinking the Reds might have enough to challenge now, strange as that sounds. They've probably got the pitching. Although I'm sure Yost won't get fired today, I would think that's definitely an option on the table for the organization now. There were very high expectations in Brewtown heading into this season, and you can argue injuries or this & that, but great expectations not met usually equals heads rolling.
