Milkman delivers

Won't the league be watching them to make sure they call the games fairly, especially after they punished them before?

The Cubs forcing a pitcher back quickly in time to face the White Sox? Yeah, they don't care about beating us at all. QUOTE(Fotop @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 09:55 PM) It's really easy to take a s*** on a 21 yr old prospect flung into a team that expects perfection every night. Yeah, but try that with a hooker and you get punched in the face.

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We didn't learn anything we didn't know already about McCarthy and Vizcaino, but we did see that Cotts is still for real and Hermanson is back to his old self. And a nice little out for Shingo. Offense was awesome.

People, his name is Shingo.

Stop with the arguing, everyone. It's getting old.

3 strikes from Shingo?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Jermaine is slow again.

Wow, our fans are starting to suck as much as Cub fans at the game as far as homers are concerned. Thomas pops out nowhere near homerun distance, and they all gasp like it's a no doubter.

DP ends the inning, s***ty Keith Foulke saves the game for Boston.

Jhonny Peralta doubles in a run, 10-9 with 1 out now. Keith Foulke is terrible.

s***ty Keith Foulke walks the leadoff man in the bottom of the 9th. Aaron Boone flies out to RF. 1 out.

CREDE IS THE GREATEST THIRD BASEMAN IN THE HISTORY OF BASEBALL.

Phew, a little lucky and we're up 10-8.

Crap, during the 4th inning I thought to myself that I'd call my girlfriend right after the top of the 5th if McCarthy got through it ok. Needless to say, I forgot, and that's gonna cost me. EDIT: Thought I'd lighten the mood for everyone else with my own misfortune.

Damon homers, 10-8.

We HAVE to get that run in.

QUOTE(He_Gawn @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 09:19 PM) God I love Neal. Aquire another BP arm or call up BAJ and Jenks so we can start Neal. That's such a bad idea.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 09:16 PM) I bet Viz will still be here. what will it take to get this guy to aaa? He'll probably have to die. I can only hope...

Holy s***, I f***ing hate Luis Vizcaino. And he deserves every boo he's getting right now. He's the pitcher that is garbage, at least McCarthy has promise.

So much for Vizcaino not sucking anymore. This game is disappointing pitching-wise.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 09:06 PM) Ok, let's have some game talk and try to stick to it. I agree we can't be screwing around in a pennant race. I also agree it's too soon to write off McCarthy but it's very fair to say it appears he's not ready to contribute as a starter in a pennant race. So tomorrow, we can talk about what KW does next. That should be fun. Can we just wait until the game is over?

Please don't jump on me for this, but what do we do about the 5th starter spot now? Clearly McCarthy can't do it this year. Who knows about El Duque. Dye homers. Thank God.

QUOTE(Cloudyguy09 @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 08:46 PM) thats it make the trade now crede b-mac for chavez How would that help our pitching? In my mind, McCarthy is completely tradeable right now. And, yeah, I'm just overreacting to a bad start...blah, blah, blah. We need pitching and B-Mac ain't even close to the answer. If he can't even look decent against the Royals, he's not good at all yet.

Holy s***, get this guy back to the minors. He f***ing sucks dick right now, no other way about it.

Grand, confidence = 0.
