Giardi

I think I would have put Manny on there.... 2nd and 3rd two outs, Manny already having gone yard on Mussina... I'd rather take my chances with Youkilis then Manny.

Instead 2 run double Red Sox back on top 3-2

I'm really amazed at how few posts there are on the other SB Nation blogs

I swear, we have more posts pre-game than most have post-game

Yeah..on that CF landing

Me and my buddy were chanting at him that "Justin's Better"...after we got a few more people on the landing to chime in he turned around after a pitch and flipped us off. Which only egged us on more, of course.

i'd rather get run over by a train than play the whistle game long enough to get up to 253. F that.

I learned where the line is for what flies and what doesn't in the face of GTE. Only by crossing it, of course.

That must have been a hell of a popup

Allowed Ankiel enough time to circle the bases and wait on home plate for the catcher to drop the catch. That's how it happened, right?

Did not even notice that...

I'd guess swinging bunt that shattered the bat and hit everyone with splinters rendering them unable to make a play on it.

BUT THERE WERE NO ERRORS SO THEY HAVE GREAT DEFENSES

On Gameday it says he hit the homer to CF

But then if you look at the location of the hit, it seems to be behind home plate. Maybe he hit it so hard that it circumnavigated the globe and ended up behind the catcher.

I want to watch tonights game, but I don't want to watch Silva and I have work tomorrow. :(

And to think, I could have chosen to support the Yankees or Red Sox...

by EnglishMariner on Apr 12, 2008 3:27 PM PDT   0 recs

Every start Silva will ever make for the M's, I will expect him to lose.

And to think, I could have chosen to support the Yankees or Red Sox...

by EnglishMariner on Apr 12, 2008 3:32 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Why?

Silva gets a bad rap, he's a pretty decent pitcher. He's not gonna blow other teams away but he also won't give the game away either.

by OlSalty on Apr 12, 2008 3:34 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I am just a pessimist/realist bread on a steady diet of M's blogs.

The first M's related website I ever found was USSM. Go figure.

And to think, I could have chosen to support the Yankees or Red Sox...

by EnglishMariner on Apr 12, 2008 3:39 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I thought he sucked too...

until I read about him from somewhere else than USSM. I soon figured out that he isn't a bad pitcher, just a wildly overpaid one. If the Mariners signed him for what, 3 or 4 million a year, it'd actually be a good deal for the mariners, but paying a middle of the rotation starter 12 million a year is just stupid. I suppose USSM used its groupthink powers on its readers to convince them he's a bad starter. (the last sentence was sarcasm, I realize there is no way to interpret sarcasm into text on the internet).

by Fin on Apr 12, 2008 4:36 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I'm fine with Silva for...

4 years 32 million, but I dont' see him as that much better than RA Dickey, or Feierabend (though he did suck last year, but looks decent in his one start this year)

and then sleep again after it ends. If you are having trouble falling asleep, just choke yourself a little

It was pretty awesome

I've still got a mixed bag of GTE lingering from last night, it was that good.

On the one hand, I'm still really pissed about that defensive debacle of an 8th inning that almost gave the game away. That was disgraceful and it's happened way too often this season. I think if I see another one of those two error innings with the game on the line I might just snap and throw my beer through the t.v..

On the other hand, I'm overjoyed that we won and have a pretty good chance of winning this series now.

Why do we underage people have to have our

reps tarnished by Coach? His personality represents .01% of all 16-17 year olds.

So in the NLCS last year, Justin Upton, after sliding hard

into 2nd base to break up a DP, was hit by a pitch in his next at bat. He was a little pissed and Troy Tulowitzki told him "Hey calm down, we didn't want to hit you, we want you in the box. Because your nothing but a .200 hitter." (this is paraphrasing, but it's close).

20 year old Justin Upton, after going 3-3 with his 5th homer today(which is tied for the major league lead) is now hitting .415/.447/.805.

Tulowitzky is hitting .159/.245/.205.

The DBacks are 9-2. The Rockies are 5 games back at 4-7.

What now Tulowitzky? Who's the .200 now you little bitch.

Felix Hernandez may be The King, but Justin Upton is a GOD.

I found the actual quote

"Why would we hit you?" Tulowitzki barked. "You're a .200 hitter! We want you in the box! Shut up and go to the bag!"

In other news, the Braves released Player A.

Link

The Braves released Spiezio on Saturday after he showed up to a AAA Richmond Braves game unprepared to play Friday, according to Braves general manager Frank Wren.

"We had an agreement with Scott," Wren said. "There were three things we asked him to do: No. 1 is to continue his aftercare, which included testing, No. 2, that he attend AA [meetings] and No. 3 he would show up at the park every day ready to play. And yesterday he was not ready to play."

Wren declined further comment on why Spiezio was unprepared to play. Spiezio’s agent Barry Meister declined to comment on specifics on Saturday as well.

Felix Hernandez may be The King, but Justin Upton is a GOD.

Hot streak.

This doesn't strike me as being sustainable but they could settle around .500.
