  1. pulling z early allows him to be in better shape for his next start AND marmol fresh is better than carlos having thrown 85 pitches he pulled z to go to a better pitcher, and allowed z to be in better shape for his next start. he accomplished two things at once, or at least he would have, if marmol hadn't sucked.
  2. the good news is the diamondbacks will have the common courtesy to stop stealing after the third inning, since it will be like 12-0
  3. i think it should be noted that, unless lou believes marmol is hurt or something, which he obviously doesn't since he made the move, he's going to a BETTER pitcher when he pulls zambrano. fresh marmol is definitely better than 7th inning Z, unless, again, you want to assume marmol is hurt and no longer himself or something. i think there was nothing wrong with the move.
  4. someone at bp (goldman?) was talking about this and basically said there's no way you're going to go get guys who play good d to replace the offense you're getting here, so you basically need to just get strikeout pitchers and score 850 runs a year easier said than done in regards to the strikeout pitchers, of course
  5. he better be, there's not going to be anything else to watch on this lousy team
  6. in fairness, it wasn't just a red light. he picked nevin out as one guy most likely to suffer a major injury and miss most or all of the season, and nevin was hurt a few days later. He separated his shoulder diving for a ball in the OF, unless Carroll had some sort of info leading him to think Nevin had a shoulder that couldn't handle diving on it, I'm not buying it. Nevermind the fact that he's crowing about something he predicted 4 years ago as evidence of don't you dare question the almighty Will I agree that Carroll is too pompous for his own (or anyone's) good, and that it's silly to still be bragging about this prediction. However, it was a pretty impressive call. Here's his quote -- And he did cite his shoulder as the body part to be feared. Link
  7. Following him taking shots at the Sox he closed with Phil Nevin says hi! I'm not sure if it was an actual article or a blog entry or what. I had no clue what he was talking about. Someone at BTF pointed out that in his injury reports a few years back during spring training he gave Nevin a red light(high risk of injury). Nevin went on to get injured like a week later. Will Carroll is gloating about predicting that somebody has a high risk of getting injured 4 years ago. in fairness, it wasn't just a red light. he picked nevin out as one guy most likely to suffer a major injury and miss most or all of the season, and nevin was hurt a few days later.
  8. Or when we are losing 11-0 in the 3rd game after losing the first 2. Imagine how well Bartman would be received in Wrigley. ooh thatd be even better "HEY IT'S THAT GUY WHO SOAP DROPPED THINGS UP LAST TIME"
  9. it sure is going to be awesome when we're up 5-0 in the third game after winning the first two games and then bartman sings and the series completely turns
  10. you are preach it
  11. several of those aren't moments
  12. Went with my brother to eat that night and heard about the game the next day. I've made it very clear that we didn't charge the field in the first game but merely walked on and congratulated the team. why did you fail to attend? surely no evening meal with a mere brother could taste as sweet as the glory that is a real Football game
  13. did you guys charge the field again after the big homecoming victory?
  14. haha, including ours down the stretch stupid trachsel
  15. i have tickets to a concert wednesday night, doors open at 8pm uncool. i guess i have to skip the concert?
  16. he did about what you'd expect, if you ignore the injuries and the down year in steals. he's a nice player, it's just too bad he has that contract.
  17. so 4 CT wed 6 CT thurs not official like he said, though i have tickets to see of montreal wednesday night, i sure hope you're right
  18. im reserving my vote for after milwaukee clinches and lou goes insane
  19. Until he plays for the Cubs. isn't that what i said? it srue is
  20. HERE WE GO IZZY HERE WE GO i want to add, i hate the hole "here we go chant" where do you want the defense to go? of the fieldd? i guess that makes sensnes, but only with 2 outs
