What a gun on that Ibanez fellow

We should lock him up long term

Go Nova

Raul guns down Aybar.

Yea, that's going on Baseball Tonight.

by ThundaPC on Apr 9, 2008 6:01 PM PDT reply actions  

I *think* even Mac isn't that stupid

Of course, since RRS is now conditioned to exclusively pitch in the 9th because of his mindset...

by Nick S on Apr 9, 2008 6:03 PM PDT up reply actions  

He's not

that stupid. But hopefully that's not too much to expect.

by redwolf75 on Apr 9, 2008 6:02 PM PDT reply actions  

Raul has a good throwing arm...

Not great, but average strength and it's usually accurate. His arm isn't his fielding problem. Not really a huge strength, but not a detriment.

Maybe it's because I don't pay enough attention to football,

but why exactly did Jamie Burke use his Kicker skills in that play?

Hmm... Needs more Bonds.

Adam Jones makes that throw!

6 runs and we go with RRS?

And why are Green and EOF warming up? Games like this are the reason that Baek has, and Dickey should have, a roster spot. Save the big bullpen pitchers for close games.

I love RRS, but this isn't the time to use him.

The first time we got 3 games over .500, we said

"First time since 2003 that we've been 3 games over .500!!"

from then on, it became a season-long meme of saying "(insert some achievement here) for the first time since 2003!"
