So we're right back where we were at this time last night.

Except a day closer to the end of the season and 1 off the M#

Why is Scottie still out there?

I don't know how to judge today.

 

I'm happy we won. But we lost one in the L column. But we also lost one in the magic number column. I've questioned how to look at it (so long, of course, as we pull out tonight's game).

UVa.

 

Not one of those horrible Carolina schools  :bang

 

I got rejected from UVa. Not that it bothered me. Penn State is a great school, fun and always lively. I went to the frats the other day and then walked to town for pizza at one in the morning. Hundreds of people were out and about. Not to mention its a days trip from the center of the world, New York City.

I also suggest you read the thread about personal attacks on players.  Calling someone a 'coward' and a guy 'without balls' is borderline attacking...

 

Wait What!?!

 

thats like going to the game and not being able to talk s*** to the players...I mean come on even they dont kick you out of the park unless u like threaten to kill the player or piss on his face or something

with the twins gaining 1/2 game

 

Ah yes, I've stopped worrying about them. In order for them to get back in the race, they're going to have to win 4 or 5 out of 6 vs the Indians. That would really help us out.

filthy change right there from brandon

Right now, we just have to win games. This should definitely satisfy all the .500 prognosticators though. :P Considering we lost with Buehrle and Garland, I think the team gained a lot of confidence with McCarthy tonight. What happened in the 2nd game of this double header is what needed to be done.

This game is over. I'm the last person to ever say something like that. However, if we lose tonight, I will ban myself from this site forever.

McCarthy has had enough, 117 pitches thrown so far.

:cheers BMAC!

B f***ING MAC!

 

:headbang :notworthy

I feel sorry for Brewers fans that had to deal with Pods in CF for the whole season last year.

Awesome game by Brandon!! :cheers

BRANDON :headbang

This is the Brandon Mccarthy we're going to be seeing next year and for years after that. Brandon for whatever reason didn't throw his change at all in his first few stints, now he's using it and it's just a very good pitch. Brandon has one hell of a curve, a very solid change and a good fastball, not to mention he throws strikes and knows how to pitch. He is going to be a good one.

 

Great f'n job Brandon :headbang

7.2 innings of shut out ball. Great job Bmac :cheers .

Great Job Brandon McCarthy!!

 

Now it's time for the other young pitcher Bobby Jenks to come in and finish it out.

Great, great job by BMac. Not only with the shutout, but giving the bullpen a break by pitching into the 8th.

Great job McCarthy. Now, who's going to start the thread asking how many Cy Youngs can he win in your best B. Musberger voice?

From my viewpoint, his change-up was more of his out pitch tonight than his curveball was. That was great to see.

At the deadline, I was all for trading BMac. However, I might be very happy now and in the future that we didn't make the deal for Burnett.

 

Contreras + BMac > Burnett

 

Now, let's hope BMac can put together another solid start against Boston... I'm pretty sure that's his next challenge.

I also suggest you read the thread about personal attacks on players.  Calling someone a 'coward' and a guy 'without balls' is borderline attacking...

 

Its not like I said Garland is a coward because he didnt kill me as I f***ed his mom. Thats a personal insult, but I didnt say that. I said Garland is a coward because he doesnt attack hitters. He is scared. The "without balls" comment is the same. They are criticisms of the way he plays the game. Talk about trying to restrict peoples speech. Isnt Saddam expecting you to write soon? Better get to it!
