this is why ERA is stupid. He looked dynamite. So did Green. So did Bedard. I love our pitching right now.

Recently getting back

Good God it was cold but it was very worth it. Not as awesome as last year but still pretty god damn excellent.

Just got back from the game

and I echo the holy shit it was freezing sentiment! But definitely worth it - AMAZING game and great to see JJ get the save. Bedard I was disappointed with at first, but the more I think about it, he DID get shafted a lot on calls and he had nearly zero control but still went 5 innings with just a few hits and a fuckin michael young HR - not bad overall. Great performance by the bullpen too! Overall not too shitty - and we are a game up on the Angels!

Just got back

Good grief it was freezing cold but hot damn that was one great game! I heart Lopez and King Awesome.

Also, the home plate ump can go fuck himself.

It was really cold.

I had to give standing ovations to all the players just so I had an excuse to stand.

I was actually looking forward to the mile long walk to my car

just so I could finally move around to stay warm.

My buddy and I were the EXACT same way..

We parked way the hell out there and thank GOD it stopped raining / snowing / hailing by the time the game was over.. the walk to the car was amazing.

I unfortuantely got to wait for two freight trains

Yay awesome timing!

Yeah

Had to wait for them both as well, but it was warmer out there then in was while watching the game.

Great game.

I would have prefered that it've been closer though, hehe. ;)

Curse you, Detroit Lions!

Great game.

Was it just me being a homer, or was Bedard getting really, really, really squeezed the first few innings? I was very impressed by him today and I think he could've easily gone 6, but he was at 101 pitches... Basically, it looked like Erik should've had 2 or three more K's tonight, and the ump screwed him over...

Blind homerism, or did I have a point?

Not just you

I said it, everyone here said it, Blowers said it, Sims said it, Niehaus said it...and he's blind.

This ump was horrendous...so terrible.

I got a chance to see the TVs

and according to whatever the strike zone thing is, he had at least two strikeouts that became 2-2 or 3-2 counts.

Yeah, I'm watching the replay now...I think Bedard looked really, really sharp.

I thought so in person too, but holy crap he looked even better than I thought. It's going to be fun watching this guy pitch.

He wasn't sharp

Bad control made worse by the umpires.

That was Bedard on an off day.

Ehhh it didn't look awful.

I'd say it was slightly below average control. He really got squeezed badly today. The zone was at the very least consistently small though.
