what a terrible atmosphere in which to bring up beckham... ick.

How is Alexi supposed to hit a slider in the left hand hitters box? That's minor league impatience right there.

for one pitch an at bat

 

True, but no matter how bad he was doing, I guaranteed you'd at least think he'd hit the ball hard. The really depressing thing right now is that outside of Konerko, no one is hitting the ball hard.

a complete game strikeout?

hey, you may be onto something

what a terrible atmosphere in which to bring up beckham... ick.

 

Careful, you're going to get someone to say we should call up all of Birmingham.

The twilight zone is upon us...

 

Who would have thought that on June 5th that Carl Pavano would have the EXACT (5.05) ERA as Danks and a better record?

 

That 10-3 stretch really tricked us, and we still COULD be only 2 1/2 games back after the end of games tonight...but I don't think even the 2006 Cardinals' team LOOKED so bad because at least they had Pujols (for those making the "just get in" argument).

 

Even without Hawk's "man love" Sizemore in the line-up, this Indians' offense is very dangerous...kind of like the White Sox used to be about 3 years ago.

 

Angels and Tigers go into the 9th with goose eggs in the run column. Great duel, Verlander and Santana. With Zach sliding, Verlander might now be the best pitcher in the ALCD.

Danks is up in the zone with everything. He's significantly more lost than Floyd was at any point this season.

by far. but again, he's really young and really talented. I have no doubts he'll be fine.

Where is that thread where half the folks here were saying Danks is twice the pitcher than Floyd is..

Floyd looks to at least have found his game. Danks is completely, completely lost out there right now.

I think he's a better pitcher, but this is really concerning. You really have to wonder how much last year took out of him.

Getz deserves to be benched after that. Nix better get warm.

what the hell getz??

Jesus christ, Getz. Wow Wow Wow Wow Wow Wow Wow

Wow, pull them off the field. Complete lack of hustle by Getz. Shameful, just f***ing shameful.

There is no way we come back. That HR took whatever momentum we had. The series doesn't look good either. There's so guy named David Huff pitching on Sunday. So looks for the same repeat performance.

 

BTW, we have not scored a run in the past 20 innings and only scored 1 in the past 23.

Getz absolutely, positively should get benched for that. That would teach him to never do that again.

thank god hafner's up

Kudos to Choo, shame on Chris.

lets hit hafner in the face...for old time's sake

if you're not gonna hit, you field your position, if you don't do that, you sit the f*** down on the bench

What happened?

 

Well, one thing is for certain. Danks is throwing way too much pitches and he's lacking that strikeout pitch at this point in the season. Seems he's getting a lot more contact this year and his FB isn't quite as lively as in 2008.

when we win the division, will we all be laughing about games like this?

if you're not gonna hit, you field your position, if you don't do that, you sit the f*** down on the bench

 

This team just continues to go through the motions. Hopefully we can get some runners on and have someone poke one out of the park.

getz straight up drops the feed from beckham starting the double play, it rolls away from him, and getz just calmly trots after the ball, meanwhile Choo hustles his ass into 3rd. pathetic.
