For every "Sweeney/Jeter/Manny/etc" there are a hundred Credes. It's time to accept that fact and move on.

I saw it on MLB.tv getting the Angels feed. It made up for also having to sit through 8 innings of the game.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ May 23, 2005 -> 11:17 PM) He took one for the team. His ERA is inflated. Other BS argument... Has that argument been used recently? I believe it was valid when it was used.

Late breaking junk ok? You tell him to be aggressive on fastballs down the middle and take all the sliders outside. It's alot easier said than done. Here, buy MVP 2005. Turn the sliders all the way up with variable strike zone, turn off the hitter's eye. Turn the pitch speeds way up and turn down your own contact. Then have someone throw you 94 mph cutters or fastballs mixed with nasty sliders with maybe Brad Lidge. We can't expect Joe Crede to have a perfect AB every single time. We can hope or pray he hits above .260 but there's no secret you can tell him that will make him any better.

Yeah what's the deal with replacing Jedi ghosts? I'm surprised he didn't replace Alec Guinness with Ewan McGregor too. Anyone miss the original ending song of ROTJ? Or the original cantina scene where Han Solo shoots first?

I swear some of you guys must cream yourselves every time we get a hit to the opposite field. That and the genius scouting report on Santana of him being a "crappy pitcher" has me believing you guys were just waiting for a chance like this to spew all this built up hatred for pull hitters. From TV, I couldn't tell how "hittable" Santana's fastball was but maybe you can tell me since you seem to have faced him before. I won't argue that some of these guys' approaches suck (see Crede, Uribe) but jeez. Yeah I guess corpseball is back because we finally got shutout by a pitcher with wicked stuff on the West Coast.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ May 23, 2005 -> 10:13 PM) I said yesterday that Ozzie would trot him out there the first chance he got. Unfortunately, I was right. At least he pitched in a game we have no chance of winning.

Uribe joins Crede in sucking offensively and now defensively.

Viz the gas can.

Iguchi might get a hit in the 9th. That's the most optimistic I can be.

This guy has got nasty stuff. We are getting shut out.

QUOTE(black jack @ May 23, 2005 -> 10:01 PM) i think you mean a N/D WE ARE WINNING THIS GAME !!!! We are smoking crack?

QUOTE(fathom @ May 23, 2005 -> 09:52 PM) The new slogan is this: OMIT TIMO! What a f***ing terrible baseball player. What a f***ing awesome palindrome.

it ends

The Sox have three more innings to not do s***.

Timo can hold a roster spot for Frank.

Was Hawk saying "Come on Timo"?

Summary: We suck.

We've seen this kind of game before. The kind of game where the only guy that can hit is Iguchi.

Crudde is the master of the 2 for 30 slump.

Why do we even bother travelling to Anaheim? We must be the only team in baseball that has trouble adjusting to Pacific time.

The next Brandon Lyon = Tyler Walker.

The title of this thread is missing a verb. Maybe the OP didn't mean "go after" him. Maybe he meant "look after" or "clean up after".

One more continuity nitpick: Remember when Leia tells Luke she remembers her mother was very beautiful but sad all the time? I'm pretty sure the original meaning of this was that Leia remembered her birth mother. Yet, we see in Episode III that there is no way Leia could remember Padme. What gives George?
