Really nice to get the lead early. Way to go Paulie. Now go get'em Javy.

No, if for no other reason than the fact that it's impossible for me to imagine that some of these guys in the starting 5 won't revert towards their career numbers. Each and every one of them is having a worse year than what they should be having, and in baseball, usually that evens out at some point.

 

 

If we're able to increase the payroll to like 110 million next year, I'm real excited about some of the possibilities.

Boy if Javy gives this lead right back here in the 2nd, I'm going to scream and possibly break something I'll later regret.

AJ looks like he could use a couple of days off. Too bad we don't have a competent backup.

 

Can Brian Anderson catch?

Yep. Definitely a priority next year

Vazquez vs Morneau does have the potential for a concourse shot.

Chris Stewart?

I'm with you man, that's why this team has been so frustrating to watch this year

K, let's bring in BA for defense.

Fixed that for you.

You're sounding like me now. Whenever we get the lead for Garcia early in the game, I'm hoping we bring in the bullpen in the 1st inning.

Inning 5-6. You should know better than that.

Fixed that for you.

 

The funny thing is that I said that before I knew Morneau has some massive slugging numbers vs Vazquez in his career.

you could shave with that pitch.

Touche, same goes for innings 5-6, 3-4, 7-8, etc. Just pitch a good game Javy and do us proud.

1-2-3 for Javy.

Way to hold them down!

WOW, a 1-2-3 inning by a starter after getting the lead. I'm starting to like this

"Suck 'em up Joe!" is by far the creepiest Hawkism.

Nice work Javy.

"Cautious optimism" will be the theme for this game tonight.

For a while anyway.

Until the 6th inning is over...absolute panic works for me.

I couldn't agree more, i just need something to hang my hat on tonight, hopefully it'll be Javys performance.

One beer down, who else feels the need to drink watching these games lately?
