  1. QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 9, 2010 -> 07:13 PM) If we go on to lose this game... I think this might be the FINAL turning point or transition into "rebuilding" and White Flagging it. It has that feel to it. We're not going anywhere this season without Floyd, Beckham, Quentin and Ramirez. 3 of our 4 heroes from 2008 are goats. and our 2009 hero is in the same category. Hard or impossible to overcome that, no matter how good a GM you are. Wait until after the upcoming road trip. It's getting to the point where these players need to show up. If they don't, they have no one to blame but themselves. The greatest manager in the world couldn't have a team with so many players struggling in 1st place. Yes, there's a few games where I thought Ozzie could have put us in a better position to succeed. However, guys like Beckham/Pierre have been so worthless it's sad.
  2. QUOTE (Wanne @ May 9, 2010 -> 07:12 PM) ya know...Oz has no problem sitting Beckham for a few days. PLEASE, PLEASE sit him in favor of Nix for a few days this week! It would be Vizquel, as Ozzie's trying to get him more ABs.
  3. Toronto fans have to be amazed they're winning this game right now.
  4. QUOTE (Palehosefan @ May 9, 2010 -> 07:10 PM) The bad luck was Alexei at the plate there. Again, why is he ever batting hire the 9th?
  5. Ugh, Alexei is just terrible. Sadly, Beckham and Quentin's struggles have overshadowed it.
  6. QUOTE (Wanne @ May 9, 2010 -> 08:05 PM) I'm not saying Gonzalez in particular...but for a decent bat in general. If it's this year I'd have no problem plugging Hudson in and worry about it in the off season... You look around, and it seems more teams need hitting than pitching in the majors.
  7. QUOTE (jphat007 @ May 9, 2010 -> 07:03 PM) Well Rios sure has been good this year. I'll eat some crow on that. Hopefully we'll have some money available to get him some help next year. Dude, just enjoy that Rios is playing well. There's no reason to worry about the money aspect now, what's done is done.
  8. QUOTE (Wanne @ May 9, 2010 -> 08:03 PM) Agreed...but I wouldn't hesitate for a second if he was included for someone like AGon. Absolutely Kenny would need to find another arm though... And if you get Gonzalez, where in the world would you have money to get another starter or two? BTW, Padres aren't trading Gonzalez anytime soon, as they're having a great year.
  9. oh Rios, really enjoying watching you hit.
  10. QUOTE (Wanne @ May 9, 2010 -> 07:59 PM) Reasonable money though...he'd actually make a good trading piece IMO. Yes, but with our absolute lack of minor league starters besides Hudson, and Buehrle's deal coming up and Danks needing an extension, Peavy and Floyd are the two players I'm sure will be in our rotation for the next few years.
  11. QUOTE (justBLAZE @ May 9, 2010 -> 07:58 PM) Give me a break he's been an awesome 3rd starters in the last two years. I'm fine with him in the rotation, it's not like his contract is out of control.
  12. Honestly, if Gavin can't find his good curve, he's going to be a below average pitcher. Even on games where he has his good fastball, he's still not a good pitcher. We just have to hope he finds it. That change-up he throws to lefties is not a good pitch.
  13. Ramon Castro f***ing sucks at pitch calling. Everyone in the world knows Wells loves the first pitch fastball.
  14. Nice arm Pierre...ugh, Gavin's just not there this season. He's completely crapped the bed this inning.
  15. Gavin's making some bad pitches this inning. Hung another offspeed pitch after a terrible pitch call.
  16. Ugh, hitting the #9 man in the lineup.
  17. Wow, that was a nasty play by Bautista.
  18. Haha, that's about the best result we could have hoped for from Beckham.
  19. QUOTE (Capn12 @ May 9, 2010 -> 06:43 PM) Good news = Bases still loaded with 1 out Bad news = Pierre is up In your face!
  20. Nix with the single! Ok Juan, find a way to get this runner in.
  21. Ok Nix, as a member of your fan club, make us proud!
  22. Absolutely pathetic AB by Alexei. He wasn't even trying to hit it to right. He should never, ever be hitting higher than 9th in the order.
