If possible, it's getting worse.

It's fun when you get to root for Mariano Rivera.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Apr 5, 2011 -> 02:40 AM) It is truly incredible how little talent there is on the floor for a national championship game. I would say there's 3 talented players on the court in Kemba, Mack, and Lamb. The rest of these guys are garbage.

Dreadful start to this game

Hate to break it to his biggest supporter on this site, but G. Parra is TERRIBLE! How is R. Roberts starting in the majors?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 4, 2011 -> 07:24 PM) Joe Saunders is awful. Selling low doesn't even describe how bad the Haren trade was. Randy Wells looks terrible as well. This Diamondbacks lineup is an absolute joke.

Lots of doubt now about whether or not Missouri's Board of Trustees will approve Haith after all the outrage.

Mazel tov Zen!

I thought this WM was bad with the crowd being about as quiet as you can imagine.

Sorry Marlon, guess the PEDs didn't work there!

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Apr 3, 2011 -> 10:05 PM) UConn beat Duke who was a No. 1 seed in the final 4 that year and that UConn team was the best team in the country but had some injuries during the season IIRC which is the only reason they weren't a No. 1 seed. That UCONN team played better in the NCAA Tournament than any team this century, in my opinion. Teams had absolutely no shot against them, as their worst starter was probably the best player in the tourney (R. Anderson). Not bad to go with Okafor, Ben Gordon, Boone, Villanueva, Armstrong, T. Brown, etc.

Pedro Alvarez would probably strike out 9 out of 10 times facing Marmol.

Nathan looked terrible, as he had no command of his offspeed pitches.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 3, 2011 -> 07:15 PM) Humber's first 2 pitches were both hittable and up. Boers and Bernstein couldn't believe how hittable Humber was in ST, and thought he'd have no prayer in real games.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Apr 3, 2011 -> 07:06 PM) Ah well, win a series on the road to open the season. That ain't bad. Agreed, I liked how almost all of our hitters looked this series. Dunn's presence in the lineup is great. Gotta get the bullpen stuff under control though.

QUOTE (peanut33tillman @ Apr 3, 2011 -> 07:05 PM) Corpse ball at its finest today. That triple play changed the whole momentum of this game.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 3, 2011 -> 06:58 PM) 7/$120. And I wouldn't want to be the team paying it. Me neither

And that's why you don't bunt. Ohman's not going to make it until May at this rate. Just a poorly managed/executed game.

Why are we bringing in our worst reliever in a one run game?

AJP with seemingly more pop in his bat than last year. That missed by a foot!

Hopefully Rios doesn't start pressing at the plate. After swinging great yesterday, he's coming off the ball a little today.

Even his routine shallow fly balls get you excited.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Apr 3, 2011 -> 06:12 PM) So no one wants to say it was a great play by the 1B, but rather that it was a terrible bunt by Alexei? I mean, if it was a terrible bunt, then the fielder would not have to of dove and made a fantastic play to get it in the end of his mitt. A terrible bunt would have made for an easy out, not a spectacular play. Terrible baserunning, sure. Terrible bunt? Eh. Considering the same thing nearly happened on the first bunt attempt, Santana probably moved up a little.

Any projection on when the rain's going to hit?

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Apr 3, 2011 -> 06:00 PM) Yeah, the base running in that play was almost as bad as the bunt itself. I understand AJP getting doubled off, but unless Cox was asleep at 3rd base, Quentin should have been able to get back.
