My main question is how the Garland apologists can defend a 6+ era now that its June? Just wondering.

Uh oh. Garland serving some more cookies.

Well I can see Garland still sucks just as I turn on the TV.

I could care less about his batting stance, leg kick or anything else. Bottom line is his approach is awful, he swings at a lot of garbage and he needs to pick it up soon or he is looking at being platooned with Cintron. Hopefully the hot weather will heat up Uribe's bat, we definitely need him to start hitting.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jun 2, 2006 -> 06:44 PM) Considering that this texas team has destroyed garland in the past, he better pitch his ass off and keep the ball down. It would be really neat if our sinkerball pitcher, actually introduced some grounders. Jake Freakin Westbrook has us hitting enough on the ground the other night. Hopefully Garland comes to earn his check tonight and gets his ERA under 6.00 on the season. If not I may have to rip on him some more.

The real question is which pitcher will show up tonight: OR

Myspace has to be the biggest waste of space on the internet.

Uribe in CF? WOW. I've heard it all now.

BA should be starting tonight. Good call by Ozzie. Time to get Uribe out of there though.

I'll be thanking Liriano if I win my fantasy league this year.

JD will be at the game off the bench and in the game when it counts, at the end. Ozzie won't have it any other way.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 1, 2006 -> 09:06 PM) Did you really want Contreras to stay out there longer? He had nothing tonight, and Ozzie should have been thrilled to get 5 innings of 3 run ball out of him. Exactly, which is what I said after about 3 innings, yet as always, we try to leave people out there. This isn't the ALCS from last year. USE THE DAMN PEN. I'm out of the game thread. Have a good night all, maybe we can come back and show a pulse.

QUOTE(Jimbo @ Jun 1, 2006 -> 09:04 PM) This team is not going to the playoffs, too many holes One of our holes is in the bullpen, a place where McCarthy could be used, yet we continue to let him rot away due to inactivity.

f*** this bulls***. Ozzie needs to learn what to do with a bullpen. The usage (or lack therof) of McCarthy is laughable at this point.

Caught a break there.

Thornton?

Uh yea, so this is a great piece of pitching by Contreras and even more great managing by Ozzie.

IS ANYONE WARMING UP? Just wondering.

This game has the makings of a complete back breaker.

Why is Brandon McCarthy on the roster if he isn't going to pitch?

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 1, 2006 -> 08:50 PM) I can't wait to see how long Ozzie's going to keep Contreras in this game. If he somehow gets out of this, he may try to throw him out there for the 7th. :headshake Edit: as I said earlier, try to get 5 out of him then take him out. This is another stupid ass Ozzie decision. WHERE IS MCCARTHY?

Okay, get him out of the game. We're stretching our luck right now.
