QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 12:44 PM) Sale and Santos were both warming before the 8th. Ahh ok, I missed that.

Considering the broadcast hasn't even shown anyone warming up I wonder if Sergio is going to get 2 innings of work. I sure hope not.

Lets just score about 15 more and not worry about who pitches the 9th.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 01:36 PM) It's Donald/Gimenez/Brantley. Not exactly murderer's row. Sale would definitely come in for Choo/Hafner. Doesn't matter who the f*** is batting lately with our pen. It needs to be Sale, end of story.

If Sale isn't pitching the 9th I'm going to kill someone.

Holy luckyness!

Sergio, ruh roh

I'm very happy I missed that bunt in the 6th inning, something in my house would have broke.

There's one. Two more please!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 11:37 PM) You don't owe him anything. He's not THIS good. He's going to normalize. And he still hasn't seen a legitimate lineup. Give him full credit for what he's done thus far. But that's it. This is what is still stopping me from going absolutely crazy about him. Absolutely love and am ridiculously appreciative of what he's done so far but he's faced some bad, bad teams so far. My gut tells me he's going to continue to dominate against even very good hitting clubs but I got to see it before I'm 100 percent convinced.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 12:24 AM) Got that right. I'll never fool myself into thinking will acquire a superstar again. I give us a 1.7 percent chance. It worked before, why not again?

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 02:53 PM) I keep hoping that Dillard and Book were additions by subtractions in a way, Fay will be consistent, Teague will be a beast, and Diamond will shine. See what I did there? Dillard I'll actually buy, Book I wont. Fay will never be a consistent basketball player, Teague will indeed be a beast and I have no clue about Diamond but I sure hope so. Chris Lowery is still our coach. We suck.

SIU will be awful again as well.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 30, 2010 -> 10:42 PM) Just ran the new lineup through an optimizer with rest of season projections - with Manny 5th, lineup averages 4.93 runs. With him 3rd, 4.91. So Ozzie's actually sort of right... Ran the old lineup through the optimizer as well, with the rotating DH combo having a combined .330 wOBA and a .440 SLG, they averaged 4.7 runs. So Manny is a .23 run upgrade per game. Over 30 games, that's 9 more runs, or pretty much 1 whole win. Well I think most people who want Manny batting 3rd(myself included) don't have Vizquel batting 2nd either. I'm sure that'll change some things.

We should probably call up 15 relievers.

THE FUSE IS LIT!
