grrrrrreat

At this point, I'm ready to make javy vazquez a 5 inning starting pitcher...

 

honestly, that third time through the lineup kills him

get strapped down and ready to watch the javy 7th inning experience

day off. it happens. just surprised it's against the twins...

Lets see...no other teams are giving the Tigers and Twins any problems these days. Lets rest our players in these 2 series. Great idea.

BTW, Vazquez has given up 33 ER in 30 innings this year after pitch 75.

Vazquez sucks. Get him out of there while it's still close.

YAY VAZ! leadoff hit!!

Good to Know

How can Vazquez get the win if he's still not out there?

oh duh! ok now its ok that he's out there. good call ozzie!

Ugh, I really had hope for him too.

OMG listen to the boos ozzie wtf

Vazquez exceded my expectations of him after six. Why bring him out for one more?

But our bullpen is burned out after yesterday.

game over, and it will be fun to watch this struggling offense against santana tomorrow...haha, wow

omg, get him out PLEASE!!!!!

2nd and 3rd - 0 outs. Top of the order.

 

fish

this is the Cliff Politte effect we see here

 

"i have confidence in my guys"

 

well stop it ozzie. stop.

As I go player by player through the twins lineup, the only guy they have that is substantially better than his sox positional counterpart is Mauer...

 

sigh

Ugh, I really had hope for him too.

What has he done in his recent history to give you any hope past inning 5? Dude is a mental midget of the highest order.

So is "focking" still cool to use?

 

Why doesn't the hit and run ever work for us?

 

Ozzie claimed he would pull Vazquez if he was in a situation where he might give up the lead. I remember him saying it during the second Cubs series, and he hasn't enforced it once.

Can someone give Ozzie a brain transplant? Javy had no business finishing the 6th, much less starting the 7th. It was clear that he was done, as he was in his last start. And yet Ozzie lets him start a new fire in the 7th. Ozzie isn't a horrible manager, but this kind of decision (which is makes too often) is pure incomptence.

I'm stunned that Javy's giving up more hits. Stunned.

Terrible...simply terrible. According to good baseball people like jason, he had his good stuff again tonight. It's so disturbing that he's had great stuff the last two games, and still had his typical 3rd time thru problems.

kwilliams said in the dugout that the idea of getting MacDougal was to shorten the game for the starters.

 

so tonight Javy comes back out to pitch the seventh after he spiffs his pants in the sixth?

 

somebody explain that one.
