A new thread before the game even started?

Wow.

2nd thread before first pitch?

Sweet.

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

Yeah, I should have figured.

I haven’t had a computer in the same room as a TV for very long, so game threads are relatively new.

About Colon

Last start: 2 swinging strikes, secondary stuff looked like shit, fastball was only mid 90s when nobody was on.

He got a lot of groundballs, but there were a ton of meatballs that the Royals just didn’t punish. All but one of his strikeouts were called, and three of those were on questionable strikezone gifts by the umpire.

None of this changes the fact that he’ll probably kick our asses, but I’m not that sold on him being anywhere near good nor effective. More data needed.

Fans are typically idiots.

I'm not sold that he'll be all that great

but the big concern was about his velocity, and he apparently still has most of it. I would much rather have him with his deal than Silva with his.

by Jeff on May 26, 2008 7:06 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

He was ranging 89-96mph on the fastball

89-92 when people were on, 91-96 when nobody was. My early theory is that fatass can’t pitch from the stretch for shit. His slider wasn’t breaking and neither was his changeup.

Frankly he’s a one pitch pitcher right now, and that’s only if nobody’s on base. If he’d been pitching against anybody but the Royals, they’d have ate him for dinner several buffets.

Fans are typically idiots.

He's always been a one-pitch pitcher, though

even at his peak he was hovering around 80% fastballs.

by Jeff on May 26, 2008 7:10 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Like I said

More data needed, but I’m not sold his velocity is back. Dude’s shoulder is shredded beef and will need more starts before he’s convinced me.

He sure hasn’t lost any weight…

As for the contract.

Duh. There isn’t a soul on this board that wants Carlos Silva for 4 years, let alone 4 and 48 milion.

Fans are typically idiots.

Is this

our Red by any chance?

Don't think so

Surprisingly close though.

a logical choice for new manager if mclaren gets canned

is Miguel Cairo

I think this is a good idea if the M’s lose 12 of the next 16 games

hey, Angel Hernandez behind the plate.

Should be an easy game for Felix.

NO SHUT THE FUCK UP MIKE

Felix should not establish a fastball. That’s goddamn stupid talk and I would personally bash your head in if you keep it up which willl be very easy because it is goddamned hollow!!

Jon Lester is Joba Chamberlain's brother?

Is this offensive?

Me and my friend (who happens to be a ginger) call Lester “Cancer Boy.” And my friend is a bandwagoner Sox fan, so I think it’s okay.

Lester is Cancer Boy ,and Doug Davis is Cancer Man.
