Hell, if we're gonna keep running out guys from our past, lets see if we can go sign Mike Sirotka, Alex Fernandez and Wilson Alvarez. Let them all pitch 3 innings each in that 5th starter role.

Branyon hitting 2nd for Seattle makes no little sense.

41 doubles for Butler now on the year.

Who didn't see that coming

There we go boys.

Freddie laboring out there with the pitch count... this feels eerily familiar.

Worried too much about the damn runner, and bam.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Aug 18, 2009 -> 08:55 PM) What do you mean "start"? True, that was an understood 'start tonight' as we've been doing it for years.

5 LOB in 2 innings, lets not start that habit.

There we go, now HOLD THE LEAD.

Alex F'n Rios?

A game with Buehrle on the mound against Bannister vs. KC is NOT one of the games we need to lose. Against Greinke maybe, but c'mon MB...

Nice Paulie, clutch!

Really though? 9 hits in 4+ innings to the Kansas City Royals Mark?

Thats right, challenge those hitters with 94 mph fastballs, there is no chance in hell they can catch up with that heat!!

Thanks Bobby. Nice job asshats, blowing another series sweep chance.

Our starters have gotten a king-sized shaft lately, I'm sure it just seems like its happening more to me than it actually is, but wow.

And there we go.

QUOTE (TheHolyBovine @ Aug 16, 2009 -> 06:07 PM) yeah. let's judge him by his first 3 games or so. yeah. because i totally just wrote him off for 4+years by saying that.

Rios is really paying dividends at the plate.

Nice inning Dotel.

Leadoff double. Yeah, like we're going to get that runner in.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 11:39 PM) OMFG DJ CARRASCO IS SO f***ING GOOD OMFG OMFG I'M SO GLAD HE'S IN THE GAME Oh come off it. Carrasco has the s***tiest role on this team and for the most part, he does it damn well.

Unf***ing believable.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 11:33 PM) HE HAD A MASSIVE f***ING INJURY!!! and the sox are supposed to just eat that salary and dump him for another pitcher who they'd have to ALSO pay a salary to be just as bad? now THAT is a bad business decision. No of course not. But what they ARE supposed to do is get SOME pitching value out of him by putting him back into the pen where he had some success after his last s***storm efforts. Make him the long man, put Carrasco/Torres/Don Cooper/whoever out at #5.
