Thank god for that.

I see and appreciate what you guys are saying, but I still think Ozzie played it right. He gave Jackson one at-bat, which he blew with the walk, and then he yanked him. Who's to say anyone from the bullpen would have done any better with just that one batter? We just saw what Putz had on hand tonight.

 

Personally, I'm a HUGE believer in letting a reliever start an inning when possible.

Come on Matty

Matt Thornton looks a lot like John Malkovic.

How many hits does he have to give up in 4 innings before you agree he looks bad?

 

 

How is it you haven't paid any attention to the posts where I've given him credit, but you go after me every time I say something negative about him?

Good enough for me to consider that he looked pretty good.

 

Thorton shuts it down right now.

 

C'mon Thornton...

Stone begging for the jinx

They just wanted to make sure we get to see Bobby here...

Sutcliffe saying Thornton's fastball is referred to as the "magic" fastball throughout the league.

I'm usually with you on that one, Fathom. It was the pitch count and the score that lead me to think he deserved to at least face the first guy in the 8th.

This is giving me fits...

It's just the top of the 8th was so long.

This is giving me fits...

 

Huh?

No thanks, I am good for now.

You should watch the stand-up special he took it from - Live at the Purple Onion, Zach Galifinakis

That really has me crackin up!

Yep, it's amazing! In recent specials, he's been using Dog the Bounty Hunter instead of Patrick Ewing.

Yes, and I will admit I did not factor that as much as I probably should have when I made my proclamation that Edwin should start the 8th. Duly noted!
