QUOTE(greg775 @ May 10, 2006 -> 10:49 PM) I hate the idea of having a gimmick pitcher on the world champs roster. Knuckleballers are a joke. And yes I liked Wilbur and Wilhelm but that was 90 years ago. He won't be with the team long.

QUOTE(S720 @ May 10, 2006 -> 10:31 PM) From the last several games, watching Jenks has been kind of scary. It seems like he doesn't have his high-heat velocity like last year. I've seen too many 93, 94, 95 MPH fastballs, and that is not good. Jenks' fastballs are straight with no movement. Hitters will kill him if his curveball or hook does not work. Hopefully, Jenks will get back his 99, 100, 105 MPH fastballs! Only then, I will stop worry about our closer. Jenks doesn't have to throw 100 to get guys out.

Make that 10-1 now.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 10, 2006 -> 10:19 PM) Well, Garland needs to have a good outing tomorrow. Indeed. We need atleast 7 good innings from him tomorrow. We burned up the 'pen pretty good tonight.

I smell an 8-spot.

This, my friends, is why McCarthy has to stay in the 'pen. It's suspect enough with him. Without him? Yikes.

Have the Angels scored 12 runs all season?

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ May 10, 2006 -> 10:11 PM) Jenks: 5.52 ERA So I take it Jenks won't be in the running for the cy-young?

QUOTE(jenksd @ May 10, 2006 -> 10:09 PM) I did not see any of his start as I had work. However, if you expected him to do well then you're insane. I doubt any knuckleballer in his first career start ever got a single call and was squeezed like there was no tomorrow. The walks eliminated any chance of him having even a decent start.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ May 10, 2006 -> 10:07 PM) No more donuts for you FATASS!!! LOL

QUOTE(sircaffey @ May 10, 2006 -> 10:07 PM) Whats Bobby's ERA when he comes into games with men on base? Seems like he's much better starting fresh. This is so true. However, I made a promise to myself that I would not question any of Ozzie's moves this year. I did that all last year and ended up looking foolish.

QUOTE(greg775 @ May 10, 2006 -> 10:05 PM) How'd the knuckleballer look tonight? I know nothing about the game. I assume in the final analys he's why we're going to lose. If Jose pitches tonight, no b****ing; another win. How does 6 walks in just over 4 innings sound? That's all you really need to know.

Looks like we got 'fat' Bobby tonight.

Now it's over.

Since when is a game over when you're down 2 runs?

QUOTE(Felix @ May 10, 2006 -> 09:59 PM) I said it all offseason, Garland or Contreras. Naturally, Contreras isn't going anywhere anytime soon, and has made me eat my words (which I'll gladly eat by the way, its great seeing him succeed), but I still think that the contract extension to Garland was just downright foolish in terms of what he got (no trade clause IIRC) and the amount of money it was. Considering the market for pitching, I'd say Jon's contract is more than fair.

QUOTE(Felix @ May 10, 2006 -> 09:57 PM) I've been saying it all year, he should be starting now, not later. But hey, patience is a virtue I guess. Who would you take out of the rotation?

QUOTE(fathom @ May 10, 2006 -> 09:55 PM) What to do you think....does he get the start on Monday? I don't think it's worth it. That is assuming Jose is back on the 20th.

He's got a chance to be a pretty good pitcher if he could keep those walks down. Then again, you can say that about 100 other pitchers in the league.

QUOTE(Felix @ May 10, 2006 -> 09:51 PM) His struggles on offense are cancelled out by his superb defense I'd agree with that if he was even hitting .240. .188 won't cut it.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ May 10, 2006 -> 09:49 PM) DAMN! Now we got YereBay coming up and Anderson We wouldn't be in this game without Anderson. Uribe, however, is really getting on my nerves.

It would be really nice to have one of our pitching prospects come up and produce right away.

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 10, 2006 -> 12:07 PM) I'm not counting on Hermanson to come back. If he does, and is effective, then that's great. I just don't think we can count on that. Of course, if he was a Cub, he'd be the answer to all of their problems just as soon as gets over this minor discomfort. Agreed. Anything Hermanson could give us would be a bonus. But we have to make like he's not coming back.

LOL@the Indians Last year it was the offense that sucked ass for the first two months. This year it's the pitching.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ May 10, 2006 -> 10:31 AM) Now they only have to do it 3 times, all of which are at home. The Spurs are plenty capable of winning in Dallas. The Mavs stole game 1 against the Spurs 3 years ago, only to lose the series in 6. I realize the Mavs are a different team now. I just can't see anybody other than the Pistons knocking them off. QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ May 10, 2006 -> 01:51 AM) Welp the Mavericks finally wisened up and put Devin Harris in the starting 5 and moved Terry to the 2 guard, and what do ya know....Harris scores 20 and they blow the Spurs out of their own effin gym. Mavs are going to win this series people, the Spurs should just feel blessed to not be down 0-2 right now. The Spurs have to be a tired team right now. They got like one day off in between eliminating the Kings and the start of their series with the Mavs. They now have a few days to get ready for game 3. You'll see a much different team.
