Please don't suck, Felix...

After just hearing that the people planning on buying our house are backing out of the deal, I really don’t need any more bad news…

Sorry to hear that, Paul

but I guess you’re not going to get your wish. GS52 just went on the DL with shoulder stiffness. Hopefully that’s all teh bad news. I hope the day gets better for you now, and tomorrow even better.

by kva15 on Aug 19, 2008 4:44 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah, these things do come in threes...

…so I’ll count a less-than-stellar game from Felix as the third, then.

Fortunately the GS52 injury is only bursitis. They were fearing the worst…

Glad it's not serious

George could probably use a rest. Not like it will make a difference to the Oriole’s playoff chances. Might just make sure they appreciate him.

I’ve been through the real estate hassles recently and I feel for you. We had similar issues as yours and we held out for better offers — and they came (quickly). Hang in there.

Via Rotoworld:
Pitching coach Dave Duncan said Sunday that Chris Carpenter (shoulder) could rejoin the rotation as soon as August 26.
It sounds like Carpenter’s status will determine what the Cardinals do with Adam Wainwright, who could come back as a reliever if he’s not needed as much in the rotation. Carpenter is scheduled to throw off flat ground Tuesday.

I'd be annoyed with that as well

LaRussa needs to get some sense. Any number of relievers can get 3 outs in the 9th with a 1-3 run lead.

by Gomez on Aug 19, 2008 4:33 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

LaRussa is a good manager

but this is by far his biggest weakness.

Perez/McClelan/SPringer can hold down the fort fine. If you need to use a veteran use Springer.

Second time Clement has been benched following a good game.

Can we let this guy stay in the lineup when he’s swinging the bat well?

Jamie Burke is a cool guy and all, but why is he ever in the lineup given the status of this team, and his age?

Rotoworld quip of the day:
Aaron Harang’s Thursday start has been pushed back due to neck spasms.
He woke up with neck stiffness Tuesday morning. “He couldn’t turn his head,” Reds pitching coach Dick Pole said. We’d make a juvenile joke here, but we’d be fired. Instead of facing the Cubs, Harang will now face the Rockies on Friday. Josh Fogg will be moved up to face the Cubs on Thursday.

Whatever every big Ethier hit is another day without Juan Pierre.

If it wasn't for college football I'd probably have given up on sports.

He didn't break Marlon Byrd's record

of fastest to 5 homers post trade.

I'm proposing a new rule "rollover baserunners" for last place teams

Not sure how it would work, but something like, if a last place team in the division leaves more than three runners on third in the course of a nine inning game, the fourth time it happens, they get to start the next inning with a runner on third.

Go Tampa!

A postseason without Boston or NYY? ESPN literally will have nothing to talk about as they are unaware of baseball outside of NY/Chi/Stl/Phi/La.
Too bad the Devil Rays can’t rid the postseason of McCarver.
Deion is retired however, maybe he needs work………….

Hey Paul,

I can’t remember if I’ve asked you this before or not, but we have to grab a beer. PM me at MC if you’re up for it.

This is amusing.

I suppose that means you won't be making us porridge tomorrow morning, mummy?

To say that he was off his game is a massive understatement.

Perhaps he was distracted by the fact that his team is seriously shitty.

I think we got embarrassed by the Pirates alot worse than you did.

Because, I mean come on, Jeff Karstens? Really?

Doesn't make me feel any better

because godammit that 75 pitch at bat should have ended in a homer.

Speaking of embarrassment, QUIT FUCKING AROUND LYON!

Says Felix:
“It has been a tough year for us, and I think we’re trying to do too much. We need to relax a little bit, including myself.”

And here I thought half of them weren’t trying at all.

Don't let Silva get you down.

Now that Loafie isn’t playing poker in the dugout, things are looking brighter.

But, but,

Felix was SMILING when it was mentioned that half the team wasn’t trying.

Am I alone in thinking

that we should get together and do a Mariners blogosphere roast? How awesome would that be?? I’d be willing to do some leg work on this. between LL, MC, ans USSM, not to mention Baker’s blog, we could have some fun. And screw you, Jeff.

OK, I actually really like you.
