Its only the 2nd inning, very possible he breaks it tonight. True. If he doesn't tonight, he'll sit out tomorrow though he usually sits out Sunday games anyway.
Tickets for Monday's game are going to sell like crazy. My editor and a few of his friends have season tickets for the Giants. For the Saturday game of the Marlins-Giants series last weekend when Bonds was stuck on 754, the guy in the group sold his pair of $37 tickets for $125 each.
Well, he couldn't be much worse than Kip Wells or Anthony Reyes have been this year. Mike Maroth says hi. 5-6 6.67 ERA 45 k 46 bb 1.79 Whip, and that was before tonights .2 innings 5 hits 5 runs 2 ER and 1 HR. Good one. I forgot about him.
He didn't look very good this past weekend against the Marlins in AT&T park. EDIT: He really hasn't looked too good since the 2 HR game against the Cubs a couple weeks ago. He's 6-33 with 1 2B, 1 HR, 1 RBI since then.
Thoughts? http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20070802&content_id=2125494&vkey=news_chc&fext=.jsp&c_id=chc I wouldn't say that I'm confident in him every time he goes to the mound, but he's definitely improved significantly. I knew the whole "never" thing was an overreaction. I don't know about you but I still have no desire to see Eyre in the game. I have no faith in a guy who's WHIP is 2.02. I know he's pitched 7 2/3 scoreless innings in 8 appearances but he's walked a batter in 7 of those. He's still the last guy I want to see come into a close game.
Good freaking lord what is wrong with our pitchers in the ninth inning. Ohman blew any chance we had yesterday - and I blame Lou for that one because there's no reason Ohman should have been brought in to face a bunch of righties - and now Dempster kills us today.
BS You can't walk 11 guys and expect to win any game at any level. The Cubs pitchers didn't give up that many legitimate walks...that's the point. Maybe a couple are on the ump. That still leaves 8 or 9 that are on Cubs pitching which is horrendous.
Maybe you should watch the game and see that Demp struck him out. the Cubs have walked 11 hitters today. That's not on the ump. One or two maybe. But no more than that.
