C'mon JD.

QUOTE(beautox @ Jun 24, 2006 -> 02:33 PM) Widge doesn't call a good game IMO. Nobody was saying that last year. Why is it Widger's when Garland struggles?

Well, atleast Garland hasn't given up a HR in his last 3 starts.

Riske looked good.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 24, 2006 -> 02:30 PM) I thought Jon was turning the corner after his last start.....he still wasn't pitching inside as much as I would have liked but he was staying in the zone. When you're a Houston batter and you know he's not going to throw first pitch strike and he's going to nibble the corners the ENTIRE at bat, he's Danny Wright. And going with what I just said about Jon, I've been loving Riske for the sole fact that he's pounding the zone. He couldn't get his breaking-stuff over at all. I noticed that his fastball rarely hit 90 MPH. Of course, you never know with these inaccurate speed guns.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jun 24, 2006 -> 02:20 PM) You realize that the Astros are a bad hitting team. Yes, I do. Which even makes it more frustrating. I was just pointing out that a lot of the balls they hit were fairly weak. That still doesn't excuse Jon's lack of command/control.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 24, 2006 -> 02:19 PM) Do it, you two. The Rally Crede has never had to go up against something as strong and powerful as the curse of the 9-game winning streak.

QUOTE(Ndgt10 @ Jun 24, 2006 -> 02:13 PM) As long as Garland gets me 12-13 wins with a 5 ERA and a spot on the bench in the postseason, I will be a happy, happy man. I, for one, won't settle for that. Jon was indeed very dissapointing today. His command and control were horrible. But, in his defense, it's not like they were hitting rockets all over the place.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Jun 24, 2006 -> 02:10 PM) There aren't 25 poll options. Pablo would fall in the "other" category. LOL. I didn't even see the "other" option.

My sig says it all.

I will no longer watch games in which we have a chance to extend a winning streak to 9 games.

No Pablo?

Wow, I didn't realize our team era is close to 5 this month. LMAO!

Well, out of all the closers that have been mentioned (Rivera not included), Bobby is the only one that's proven his worth in the postseason. That's gotta count for something. Edit: I forgot about K-rod in '02.

QUOTE(Whitewashed in @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 10:03 PM) What a change from last season. Nice to see Crede doing good and PK earning that check with JD hitting like he can. Oh and how can I forget tonights hero, what an addition he has been. I'm greedy. I want to see our pitching get back to where it was last year. Even with the much improved offense, this team is going as far as our pitching takes us.

Tonight was definitely the best. These are the kind of games you have to be able to win in the playoffs.

QUOTE(THEWOOD @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 09:24 PM) It has nothing to do with me being an OSU fan. ODEN WILL PLAY MORE THAN ONE YEAR AT OHIO STATE! Keep dreaming if you think he is gone after one year. Unless Oden is nowhere near as good as we all think, he's gone after one year.

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 09:36 PM) Don't look now, but we are approaching the mythical paradise known only as "the 9 game winning streak!" LOL. I wasn't gonna bring it up. You just jinxed it.

I'm just waiting for our pitching to get back to last year's level. That, combined with this devestating offense= for the rest of the league.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 09:28 PM) You hear DJ? About a half second before Jim hit his HR DJ was saying "Thome is ready for launch" Thats almost as classic as when Podsednik hit that homer off Lidge in the WS and a second before that the announcer said that Lidge "Just got the taste of Pujols out of his mouth" LOL. Indeed.

QUOTE(CardsJimEdmonds15 @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 09:17 PM) Yeah but we have Carpenter, Suppan, and Ponson pitching.. kill me Anyways this wasnt a great series for us by any means but it didnt surprise me.. well it did a little.. It's fine.. never have disliked the Sox and their fans (not saying that to suck up, it's the truth).. Perhaps, we shall meet later on and have a better series from our side? I can only hope! I still think the Cards' will win the NL. Reyes is absolutely filthy.

Remember when everybody (not me) was worried about Bobby before the season? Mad props to Freddy Garcia tonight. He's been taking a beating around here of late (deservedly so). Looks like he and Garland are getting back to last year's form. And GOOD GOD DAMN@THAT SHOT BY THOME! MERCY!

LMAO@THIS TRADE! Did Isaih Thomas suddenly start making decisions for the Warriors? This would be one of the steals of the century.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 12:56 AM) and Im messing with you. I just wanted to see *** in big fonts. That is all Damn, I just noticed that the word is blocked out. lol.

QUOTE(Contreras @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 12:53 AM) I don't get it. I didn't say anything bad about him. I was thinkin' the same thing. I don't know where that came from.
