Cruddy is awful. He is now 1 for 17 in this homestand. He is now batting .262. I just wanted to remind the Crede-supporters.
I could drop a bowling ball off a building and it wouldn't fall as fast as credepopsup's average has been. That's what.......50 points off his average in the last 3 weeks or so?

Come on Dong earn your $8 million dammit
Not like that he wont. A long strike followed by getting aced by a slurve.
Unreal.
This was brought up in chat tonight and its a really valid point.
Why is it that some of our pitchers ( Duque, Contreras and Viz come to mind here ) go 0-2, 1-2 then start nibbling at the corners and end up walking the batter. This has happened a bucketful of times tonight and its happened a lot in a bunch of other games those 3 I mentioned have pitched in.
Why are these guys scared to go after a hitter when they're ahead in the count?

Ozzie should get someone up in the pen, as El Duque has nothing tonight.
No matter how s***ty Duque is pitching if Oz holds true to form then he'll leave him in there to try to get him a win.
At least Duque learns from his mistakes. He started keeping the off speed stuff down after the dinger and he struk out 2 batters.
Now if we can get him to stop going 0-2 then walking the batter.

I assumed that you and Nuke were facetious in your replies.
I was. Anybody knows that you're gonna have trouble filling the park up when it's cold and the weather is bad. That is, unless you're a mindless flubby drone who goes because you think its cool and not because you like baseball.

Nuke.. didn't you say a few weeks ago that Z would be next to go down...??
Yup, although by process of elimination he was certain to be next in line.

Get your sorry butt to Chicago and ATTEND a game..
I plan on it.
I'll be around for the series between us and the Angels and against Cleveland coming up here around the 1st of June. I plan on making it to at least 5 of those 6 games before I disappear into the desert again.

I remember hearing stories to this effect for over a year... but that being said, the maxim holds true.....
Guns don't kill people, Newsweek does.
In this case you're spot on.
