He's the single reason why I think the Giants would have a real shot to get to the World Series if they make it to October. He's that f***ing good.

 

If he plays a Josh Beckett role, I agree, with Cain, Sanchez, and Zito playing the counterparts.

 

Completely under the radar, but Zito has turned that complete albatross of a contract to merely an albatross. I wouldn't want to pay a 5th starter $17 mill a year, but he's had 10 quality starts, and he's thrown a winnable start (for me, that's 5 IP, 3 ER; 6 IP 4 ER; 8 IP, 5 ER) 14 times out of 20. For a mediocre pitcher that - thanks to a terrible GM and a fantastic agent - scored a great deal, he has shown his pride and has become a decent starting pitcher, even if he's not good. With Alderson and Bumgarner on the way, they can probably actually afford that contract for the short-term.

Am I the only one who thinks they should just give the CY to Tim Lincecum right now? What he did to the Pirates last night was just wrong. Only guy with a legitimate case for the award to this point is Dan Haren. But they typically don't give the award to a guy from a lousy team.

Tiny Tim could realistically have 200 K’s in two weeks. That’s sensational.

Wow, Mark Reynolds just hit an absurd two-run BOMB off of Brad Lidge. I believe in landed in the restaurant about two decks up.

Mark Loretta pitching for the Dodgers who are getting shelled 10-0. First pitch hits Holliday on the foot..LOL

He's like a good version of Josh Fields.

Not a bad comparison, Bear Sox. Nice.

fuentes imploding again

Reynolds could be really good if he cuts down on the K's and sharpens up his D.

 

He's got some serious power though. Most of his home runs are absolute bombs.

i hate when players finally decide to show up once its going to be their FA year. washburn , after his latest start, now has a 2.64 era.

2006: 8-14 , 4.67

2007: 10-15 , 4.32

2008: 5-14, 4.69

all in the first 3 years of his deal. his 2 FA years? 3.20 era and 2.64 era as of now. then he'll suck again when boras gets him all that money

What a catch:

In the famous words of Kalapse.

 

"Sure he may look like an innocent child whom you may see frolicking in a meadow some sunny spring afternoon but under that sweet exterior lies a lethal killing machine."

 

 

He's got some small hands...

He's like a good version of Josh Fields.

 

He was 2007 Josh Fields last season basically.

Congrats to Ichiro on his first walk off hit last night.

 

Now that's weird to think about.

He's never gotten a walk-off hit before?

 

Wow...

Watched more of Cards/Dodgers than Sox game tonight. First time I sat and watched Kershaw since he faced us last year. Holy cow, his off speed pitches are nasty.

 

Why would the Dodgers ever consider trading that guy?

Rasmus just hit a broken bat single to tie the game up, 1-1 in the top of 10

Kershaw's Curveball makes actual angels cry. True story.

His fastball is sick enough. And that's not even his best pitch. Like I said yesterday, there's two pitchers in all of baseball I would trade Clayton Kershaw straight up for. That's Tim Lincecum and Felix Hernandez. That's it.

This Cardinals-Dodgers game is one of the better games of the season. Both teams are extremely talented and play very good defense.

This LAD VS STL game is like the song that never ends.

Pujols, 2 out single to win in the bottom of the 15th

I happened to notice Padres pitching prospect Matt Latos has made it to the majors.

 

Prior to the 2007 I loved the guy and was hoping he wouldn't accept the Padres offer as a Draft and Follow candidate from 2006. Even though he probably wouldn't have made it to our position in the draft, it's interesting to see a guy I had a man crush on succeed so rapidly. With seemingly little minor league experience.

He threw a gem tonight, 7 innings of 1 hit baseball and only threw like 86 pitches. He's a really good one.

He's the single reason why I think the Giants would have a real shot to get to the World Series if they make it to October. He's that f***ing good.

Him and Cain could the type of duo that carries them through the playoffs. Can't believe they gave up Alderson though.

Garza admits to hitting Teixeira on purpose

 

So apparently Garza admits he hit him b/c he was frustrated with teams throwing at Longoria. I have no problem with pitchers doing this, but he shouldn't have said anything. He'll probably get suspended now.

Well, Jenks only got fined didn't he?
