PrintIt's really great how this place is running an occasional Frank Caliendo ad in the right menu. I think it speaks to the audience.

People who the rays drafted but were not able to sign version 44763: David Bush.
Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.

Wait, the brewers are winning a game?

No, Moyer is just old.

LOLZ MOYER PITCHES SLOW!!!11
I wonder when the commentators will give up on boring us with the same old shit?
I was at Shea for the Felix-Slam!
Personal M's record: 5-4.
If there is a game 4 in the Rays series I am not looking forword to this shit with Sonny.

Dammit, Moyer's getting some great calls on the bottom of the strike zone, gets pulled.
Stupid stupid NL, now I remember why I dislike the NL so much.

Opening lyrics to don't stop believing.
And the white sox unofficial fight song…
BOOYA! You got Slurved!
Still probably not a good idea.
Even good comments can piss people off who are in that kind of mood, especially if you aren’t one of them.
Though BCB is a shitastic site so…..
That place is a dump.

11 groundball outs and no flyouts.
How come we didn’t get Kuroda?

He wanted to play in LA.
For less money too I believe and maybe the huge Asian community down there influenced his decision since he was taking his family over.
BOOYA! You got Slurved!
There's a huge Asian community here too.

Shigetoshi Hasegawa persuaded Kuroda to go to LA.
1. It’s warm.
2. A better team.
3. Large Asian community.
I don't know what went wrong with the deal.
People thought the Saito and Shiggy factor(but he denies it) was why but I thought he was coming here for sure because we had Kenji catching and Ichi in the outfield.
BOOYA! You got Slurved!
Because Yuni would negate the positive effect of groundballs.
I was just going through the Ibanez bad defense .gifs and I was thinking about how many runs scored just with those mishaps. Statcorner doesn’t have defensive stats, but I would like to know what they have to say and compare them to the number of runs Ibanez coughed up in those .gifs.
That's true. I remember Batista having been hyped for being a broundball pitcher.
The road to hell is paved with Mariners.
by .Taylor on Oct 4, 2008 8:37 PM PDT up reply actions
Silva was even more hyped.
And Felix is supposed to be a groundball pitcher when he is pitching like he should. It’s those damn fastballs, though.
You could make the argument that Felix is still ridiculously good
When he get groundball outs.

Casey Blake with the Indians:.289/.365/.465
With the Dodgers:..251/.313/.460
That’s why nobody talks about that deal.
Casey Blake is terrible.

Andy LaRoche with the Dodgers
.203/.319/.322
So Blake was an upgrade even if his numbers went down. Although giving up Carlos Santana suuuuuucked.
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.

Every time I hear that comment the image of Lou going after Rob Dibble runs through my head.
"Sorry I hit you in the helmet Hank, I meant to hit you in the neck." Stan Williams to Hank Aaron.
I wasn't being serious.
My “Lou looks so young” comment was more of an “Aw, isn’t he cute” comment. His brief interview is hilarious.
How did you ever find that so fast?
The only thing missing on Dibble were the Bosworth lines in his hair.
"Sorry I hit you in the helmet Hank, I meant to hit you in the neck." Stan Williams to Hank Aaron.
Duh. I just realized I typed 'ron'. I7 years ago. Wow.
He was closer to being a player than from 1992 to present day. Suddenly the avalanche of Viagra commercials are making sense.
"Sorry I hit you in the helmet Hank, I meant to hit you in the neck." Stan Williams to Hank Aaron.
He's kinda doing the Y-M-C-A dance.

WTF? This makes me want extended cable. Dammit.

Along with the Hart "drop"

I like how the 1st base coach lands at the same time
And manages to NOT hurt himself like an intelligent person.
Pickoff attempt on Crisp, he was called safe, Angels were unhappy.

I was dozing in and out of the game last night.
I was awoken by the homerun that followed, though. And then, back to sleep with me on the couch, the lights and TV on all night. I wish I didn’t miss this.
So here's the whole story
My favorite part is how Rodriguez even falls off the mound on pickoff throws

I think the dance combined with the umpire's jazz hands
could potentially make an incredible loop.

How did the dodgers score?

Man he was pounding that outside corner.

I can't find the strength to catch anymore WSU games this year. Ugh.
"Sorry I hit you in the helmet Hank, I meant to hit you in the neck." Stan Williams to Hank Aaron.
If its the FSN NW team
It was Mack Strong.
If it was the Socal team it was probably Petros Papadakis one of the most annoying USC alum on TV.
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
Oh man Marmol mixed his pitches there, beautiful.

Manny pull a Raul fielding it?

There are some things that need to remain static in baseball.
The Cubs not winning a World Series is one of them.
That and the Cubs are the Red Sox of the National League. It’s good for baseball if they continue to lose.
How bitter of a person do you have to be to count down outs to a team's hundredth year of futility?

The Cubs losing is bad for baseball, it’s the same old shit all over again and that’s boring.

I root for them to go to the Series.
by Kirsten Schlewitz on Oct 4, 2008 9:50 PM PDT up reply actions
I could settle for them going to the Series, as long as they lost it in heartbreaking fashion.
But being humiliated by a team that won 13 games less than they did in the regular season is good enough.
It's hard to be so incredibly wrong but you just succeeded.

Based on a cursory look at wOBA, which was broken. So what?

Which in turn also made me happy because wOBA is a useful tool

Thats because he's a dodger
Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.
K! THREE MORE OUTS!
And since I have to leave for work, and I’m assuming the Cubs will go down easily in the 9th, I just wanna say one more time:
ONE HUNDRED YEARS! CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP!
Man alive thats a lot of fastballs up in the zone!
"Sorry I hit you in the helmet Hank, I meant to hit you in the neck." Stan Williams to Hank Aaron.
Climbed the ladder, awesome. Some nice pitching here and there today.
"Sorry I hit you in the helmet Hank, I meant to hit you in the neck." Stan Williams to Hank Aaron.
BOOM bye bye Cubs.
"Sorry I hit you in the helmet Hank, I meant to hit you in the neck." Stan Williams to Hank Aaron.
I was rooting for Lou, kind of a bummer.

There's still that many? I had it in my head that the list was shorter than that.

We're still behind Texas, but Washington doesn't count
because their fans are new to the party, however if you could find someone who was a diehard fan of the first two Senators and is now a Nats fan…

Though Houston and Cleveland have both been to the series lately
so one could make the argument that we’ve leapfrogged them.
