Borders and Sele game plan:

Walk Delgado if you're behind the count.

Don't walk any batters in front of him.

Re: Delgado

Still can't believe they didn't bring in Thornton or Villone to face him (giggling inside).

by elsid on Jun 9, 2005 4:00 PM PDT up reply actions

Weren't the bases loaded?

Darn. Missed opportunity. They could've used Putz and given Delgado 3 more RBIs for the night.

Delgado

At least bringing in Villone gave us the chance of walking him with one pitch. (now laughing inside)

Dave's red leisure suit

Guaranteed loss.

Red Leisure Suit

But how is Rizz parting that rug? If it's off to the left, we've got a chance.

Never underestimate the power of a man's rug.

Hopefully they surprise me again today.

Ichiro is starting to worry me, he nevers strikes out that ugly.

by Goose on Jun 9, 2005 4:17 PM PDT reply actions

The wind made Ichiro strike out.

Isn't that right, Ron?

Thanks, Ron.

He did not say that?

Looks like Borders got the message to Sele about Delgado.

Re: He did not say that?

"Beckett throws hard, and Sele throws softer."

Also drew comparisons between their curveballs.

Re: WOW WOW

We really don't look too bad now, do we? lol. Maybe playing interleague is really good for us and by the time we get back to AL, hopefully Beltre gets all he needs to take his frustration out on these guys.

Loaded for Beltre...

And Sexson's got a chance for a huge, huge hit...

did you see that?????

Beltre just layed some close pitches

that was a good eye

by Goose on Jun 9, 2005 5:55 PM PDT reply actions

I like

that walk a lot

by Grant H on Jun 9, 2005 5:56 PM PDT reply actions

Beltre

Beltre getting walks is a good thing, and that's how he'll break out of this slump. Start laying off thos epitches low and away, start walking a little more, and then start mashing the better pitches he sees.

OH YEAH SEXY
