Batista 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."

-Miguel Batista, 6/25

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.

I’m sorry, its Apple Key – T. I keep thinking they’re the same in my head. So everywhere I said option I meant Apple Key.

Blank tab!

Now what if I want to right click a link like i usually do?

by NOLAmarinergirl on Jul 9, 2008 8:12 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Hold down the apple key

and click the link.

Or maybe its option key. I don’t actually look at the keyboard anymore to remember these things.

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.

Three days rest since his last start.

He looked pretty good for the first inning and change he was in.

by BrianL on Jul 9, 2008 8:15 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I think so.

He started on Sunday, didn’t he? Went five frames.

by BrianL on Jul 9, 2008 8:18 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

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.

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…

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.

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.

is how Billingsley got rocked. He’s the best pitcher on the team easily.

Many of baseball’s finest players have been goofy lookin’ redneck dudes. It’s no shame.

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.”

by ThundaPC on Jul 9, 2008 8:46 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

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.

by PLU Tim on Jul 9, 2008 8:50 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

That play is insane

He's a steeple chaser...

notice how he’s jumping over a barrier and a water pit… not a hurdle.

I never cared.

Running in circles for any reason is beyond my comprehensions.

by NOLAmarinergirl on Jul 9, 2008 9:03 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Tracks aren't circles..

their two semi circles with a rectangle in between.

by LantermanC on Jul 9, 2008 9:06 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Barriers...

the name of the event is steeple-chasing… not sure why…

by LantermanC on Jul 9, 2008 9:07 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

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.

by LantermanC on Jul 9, 2008 9:10 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Haha, I saw that on ESPN

last fall. It was boring as hell, but I was at work, so it at least provided me with more entertainment than work would.
