I don’t like it when pitches are thrown. It’s like the behind-the-goal camera during hockey games.

Yes.

Don't question Squinty.

When he’s not napping he is constantly planning ways to deceive the enemy. Willie is a trick to make the opposing team complacent.

Don’t you love it when a plan comes together?

Yeah. It was the evolution of the commerical.

Eventually, rather than simply being “not pretentious” it turns out they were actually stupid. I consider that a progression in logic rather than simply 2 separate points.

is that Roy Corco will get blamed in the end for that inning even though he was fine.

Here's a question

Bedard is back Saturday. Who goes away?

by Gomez on Apr 24, 2008 8:56 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

it should be

Morrow going to AAA to pitch as a starter (especially since White left Tacoma’s game with an injury)..... Lowe and Corcoran can handle Morrow’s duties.

But… it’ll probably be Corcoran.

Midnight Baseball - No Lights - Only in Alaska!

by MfaninAlaska on Apr 24, 2008 8:59 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I've long since given up hope that Morrow will ever be a starter.

I’m hoping he can turn into a dominating closer or setup guy.

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

EOF is still on the shitlist and moving Hyphen would only leave one lefty in the pen.
