Great we quit, montero and his 7 ERA in the game. Did Bmac conspire with Gload or something.

Why again do we leave pitchers in after they give up half a dozen runs. Thanks Ozzie. Btw send bmac the f*** down if we arent going to use a long reliever. He sits in the pen for no reason.

QUOTE(Dan @ Jun 25, 2006 -> 08:57 PM) THIS UMP HAS AN AWFUL STRIKE ZONE Usually Angels strikezone is tighter than anything. However, questec and ESPN have made Roys a tad big.

Oswalt will have a complete game with the way we are swinging the bats now. BTW a big f*** you goes to Angel Hernandez and his tard strikezone for Oswalt.

It would be nice to get a few runs here, elevate Roys pitch count. So we can get to Qualls again.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 25, 2006 -> 08:47 PM) For people complaining about Vazquez not throwing enough fastballs: First, his fastball is 92 mph, and not what this gun says. Second, his fastball, especially to lefties, is notorious for ending up very deep in the stands. From my perspective, his slider and his change are his out pitches. His fastball and curve get hit very hard. He is throwing a 4 seamer that is getting pounded. I havent seen too many 2 seamers. According to Ozzie, Javy is throwing the ball real well. Its the park that plays small.

8 pitch inning for Oswalt. Hopefully the next inning we can increase his pitch count a bit.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 25, 2006 -> 08:41 PM) Vazquez's ERA is creeping towards 5. It's too f***ing bad the Dbacks couldn't convince the Tigers to give up Granderson and Zumaya for him. Omar Minaya loves Javy. He tried just as many times as KW did to get him. Aint going to happen, but just a thought.

Is anyone warming.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 25, 2006 -> 08:38 PM) I'm getting really annoyed with Vazquez this year. He really is the king of the meltdowns. Thanks for s***ting the bet Javy, you f***ing douche.

Dumb f***ing call by AJ there. And a terrible execution by Vaz. He gets 2 strikes, then keeps going in on a lefty. Should of went away with the lefty.

70 pitches for Roy.

Oswalt is a guy we will hit. He keeps pounding the strikezone with low fastballs. He is a homerun waiting to happen.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 23, 2006 -> 11:48 PM) ^^^^^. I spent 5 weeks in Nanjing, Shanghai and Beijing about 6 years back. The food over there, is what you call Chinese - Chinese food. It's not really American - Chinese food, if you get my drift. And the pollution over there is terrible. You couldn't see the sun at all during the day when I was over there. Have a great time though. Should we warn him about the girls spitting. Oh well I will. The smog and pollution is so bad that people just spit to clear their mouths. You will see some young girl in a miniskirt, walking down the street, then she will hock up a loogy and spit it on the ground. I also saw some disturbing things with people allowing some toddlers just to crap on the street, but maybe that was just isolated. The food, was interesting to say the least. :headshake I forwarded myself a care package with 24 pack of Coke, and a s***load of snicker bars because I heard bad things. I put it in with the switches we had sent over. If it wasnt for those snickers, I would of eaten nothing.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Jun 24, 2006 -> 11:11 PM) I can see Ozzie quiting over this. If that happens Kenny Williams will not make it to next week alive. Ozzie is bigger than Kenny will ever be. I wish we had a new gm. Maybe If Ozzie quits and Gio turns out to be a complete stud, I will get my f***ing wish. First thing Ozzie isnt quitting over this. Second thing, who the f*** cares about Gio. For every Gio that we are missing out on because we got that Jim Thome character, we get a diamond in the rough like Jenks or Thornton. You know the players your new GM would of passed over. Jenks is worth more to our WS goals this year than Gio will be. You realize that Gio is a prospect, and shockingly may or may not even make it.

There it is, 9

Lets go Cintron.

Wheeler reminds me of Bobby Howry. Same high set. Bobby has a much better slider.

Mack needs some more pine tar for his bat.

Its scary how many of these fly balls are hit to mack out in center.

Why did we pinch run Ozuna there. Thome could of kept glued to the base.

I hope you got a sweet view of the fastball strike 3 Paulie. f***ing pathetic

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jun 24, 2006 -> 02:35 PM) Nobody was saying that last year. Why is it Widger's when Garland struggles? There is a difference in the majority of Buerhle's starts when Widger is behind the dish also. Baseball info solutions did some analysis on it, and it was a huge difference in Buerhle starts with AJ and Buerhle starts with Widger.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 24, 2006 -> 02:32 PM) I can't watch this game, but I'll just add this: Garland needs AJP catching him, plain and simple. There is a difference with all of our pitcher when AJ starts behind the plate, or when widger does. There is a huge difference in the pitch calling. Our pitchers nibble like hamsters when Widger is behind the dish.
