I know nobody cares but i'm flipping around to different games on gameday and Ryan "Lidge" Dempster loads the bases with no outs in the 9th.

Wow! That's why Juan is out there.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 9, 2006 -> 09:12 PM) Problem is, Anderson ain't good at against lefties. If you're going to start him it should be against righties, but Machowiak is getting the majority of the starts there now. When you say better against righties you mean he's still bad but slightly better.

Man our offense can be painful to watch at times.

What does Greg Walker get paid for?

I could see Javy getting 2 more batters. Hopefully all 3 if he can retire the 1st 2 quickly.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jun 9, 2006 -> 09:06 PM) My Uncle (a catcher) pulled the "wooden Indian" trick during his high school days. His pitcher was getting squeezed, so he called for a high fastball. He didn't move. The umpire went down to the ground. My uncle was thrown out. ROFLMAO!!!

Wow. 9 Ks

Getting Blake would be huge. Would guarantee Javy another inning.

I hope Mark has his A game tomorrow because our bullpen will need it.

Javy doesn't get a chance to sit down before he has to get back out there. Sheesh.

2 straight innings with an out after 1 pitch. 2 outs here after 3 pitches. Yay.

Pregunta: Gates open 2 hours before the 1st pitch? Going Sunday and want to ensure my daughter gets a give-away.

Damn we need some runs. Our bullpen will be getting a lot of work tonight.

QUOTE(Ndgt10 @ Jun 9, 2006 -> 08:51 PM) 7 out of 11 outs recorded by Vazquez have come via the K. Too bad he's thrown so many pitches and given up so many hits. He might have had a shot at 20.

Not sure how many more times we can escape all these threats (as Javy strikes out Hafner again).

I can't remember the last time 1 of our starters had a chance to go 8 innings. It's probably only been a couple games but it feels like 3 weeks.

Frank hits his 15th of the year off Randy Johnson. This question is directed towards Thomas supporters. I already know what the haters will say. What would our team look like this year had we kept Rowand and signed Frank to an incentive laden contract? Perhaps we could have used some of the Thome money towards bullpen help? I know it's a stretch but what do you think? I'm not saying it's something I would have supported but we might not be much worse than we already are. I'd imagine our 3-4-5 hitters would have been Dye, PK, and then Frank.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 10:02 PM) Hell, Ozzie said that Crede will probably start tomorrow. I thought I heard him say he'd be ready by Saturday. And that was from Crede's mouth not Herm's.

QUOTE(rudylaw @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 10:00 PM) Crede/Sweeney? If Crede's back injury is worse than indicated. Oh...I meant Fields.

Pods Iguchi PK Dye AJ Crede/Sweeney? Juan Anderson Pitcher Yikes!

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 09:54 PM) You have to have Anderson on the roster during the NL games. If you shorten your bench, and have Mack in CF, with Pablo and Gload as your OF backups, we're primed for many more 5+ run innings thanks to our ridiculous defense. So having Uribe, Anderson and the pitcher batting consecutively is a good idea?

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 09:51 PM) I refuse to believe that Ozzie is stupid enough to actually make Mack the starting CF and keep him there for any real amount of time. So what are his options?

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 09:50 PM) Huh? After Ozzie says we are not here to develop players he says Brian starts tomorrow.

QUOTE(My Dixie Normus @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 09:47 PM) I am on record that it would be a mistake to send him down. We need his D and should hope his bat comes around. He is not a major league ball player at this point. His offensive woes are unacceptable. Hopefully he gets it figured out soon. Anderson gets the start tomorrow.
