PrintBatista has suffered through his share of maladies this season, ranging from a sore back in spring training to a pulled groin and foot issues. But he was quick to point out that he hasn’t missed any games because of those injuries.
"This is frustrating. It's embarrassing. I'm supposed to be helping the team win, but the way I'm pitching, it's not helping. I have to make sure I get myself healthy before I go out there again, because I'm the only guy trying to pitch through it. Everybody else, every time they feel pain, they go on the DL, or they take a rest, and I haven't."
UPDATE -- Miguel Batista came out of the game with what the team says is a right groin strain, three pitches into the bottom of the third.
Way to go, stupid.
RRS for starter.

BEAN HANAHAN IN THE FACE
He had the whole back end of the plate…and at the last minute jumped shoulder first back towards Clement..BEAN him in the eyeball.
I fucking hate you Mariners
You are suffocating him...that's what I'll blame it on.
I fucking hate you Mariners
Three days rest since his last start.
He looked pretty good for the first inning and change he was in.
I think so.
He started on Sunday, didn’t he? Went five frames.
Hmm
Monday = 0 days’ rest
Tuesday = 1 days’ rest
Wednesday = 2 days’ rest
That’s how I’ve always thought of it, although I can see what you mean. Whatever the case, he hadn’t thrown as many pitches as he did on Sunday in forever, so…I’m going with this as my excuse.

Shift to the bullpen...
jesus what else will be commercialized. “And Sexson’s itchy nuts are brought to you by gold bond.”
to the bullpen
?
How did the Braves score 9 runs yesterday?
More importantly how did they get 5 off Chad Billingsley? Their offense seems kinda bad all of a sudden…

That's a foul ball, isn't it?
Hands are part of the bat.

Damnit Ichiro...you shoulda nailed Suzuki!

Get your hitting and rbi's before the break Lopez.....

What did Suzuki do... that everyone
wants Ichiro to punish him? Or is it just because they share the same last name?
You know what?
I don’t care that Raul didn’t touch the plate….That was interference when Suzuki reached back with his arm. That should have been called anyways.
He looks more like the guy I saw at the pound the other day
With a fork in one hand and a knife in the other.

When my mom was young
some car hit a dog, and she said her neighbors took the dog into their home and ate it. She grew up in Asia though, so I guess this helps your point.
They farm dogs there to eat them
I can understand that, it’s like livestock. You’d think someone would feel bad about eating another’s pet though. I mean seriously, go to the store and buy a bag of porkchops.

He has other pitches. 3 other pitches.

Plays at home plate
Jack Hannahan: “ROWRL!! OUTTA THE WAY!! COMING THROUGH!!!!”
Raul Ibanez: “Oh, excuse me. Terribly sorry. Don’t mind me, I’ll just pass on through here. Have a nice day.”
Suzuki did reach around to grab Raul.
That technically is interference, yes?
by BrianL on Jul 9, 2008 8:48 PM PDT up reply actions 1 recs
I'd have to think so...
I think that block in itself should have been ruled interference. There is blocking the plate, but that was “boxing out” like a power forward in the NBA would do. That’s pretty much a one notch away from just laying down on the plate.

True, but if you have to run 2 miles
and jump over them 32 or so times, with 7 of those having a pool of water after the barrier, it gets hella tiring. Also, it hurts like a mother to catch your knee on one. I once saw a guy hit his knee on a barrier, fall head first into the water (5 feet deep at the deep end). He just lay in the water, then crawled out, and lay on the inside of the track and quit.
