Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


55-46

That was our first win without JJ since July 7th. It feels incomplete.

Biggest Contribution: Adrian Beltre, +27.5%
Biggest Suckfest: Yuniesky Betancourt, -6.8%
Most Important At Bat: Beltre double, +30.0%
Most Important Pitch: Swisher homer, -10.3%
Total Contribution by Pitcher(s): +16.0%
Total Contribution by Position Players: +25.2%
Total Contribution by Opposition: +8.8%

(What is this chart?)

Try as I might to come up with something to say, I just don't have anything left in the tank. Every week it's about this time right now that they day job and night job catch up with me and leave me a sleepy, incoherent shell of my normal self. I'd say I'll write down some observations from the four innings I watched sometime tomorrow, but turns out it's a day game, which means it probably isn't worth it. Let's hear it for FOX national blackouts.

So instead, here's tonight's game in fifty words or less:

Felix has Opening Day stuff, not Opening Day command. Beltre earns three consecutive 'biggest contribution' awards. Dallas Braden = cracker CC Sabathia. Jose Guillen is angry with the upper deck. Best Morrow outing of the season. Happy us.

Gaudin/Ho tomorrow in a matchup of two guys snagged off the scrap heap. Guess which one doesn't suck a lot.

I'm pretty sure if Beltre has a kid with a dude
Red has got first dibs.  And he should.

I'm pretty sure if this was proposed
that Beltre would run like hell the other way.

with his
dancing feet

points to first

I fucking hate you Mariners

They should do that in next year's commercials
Ala the one where everyday people emulated Ichiro's batting ritual, but instead everyday people wanting a close decision to go their way.

Can I make it through this yellow light?  Point to first.
Do I get out of this parking ticket on a technicality?  Point to first.
Is my girlfriend pregnant?  Point to first.

I like it
They can also have "Adrian Beltre Dance Class." That would be a wonderful wonderful ad.

They have wasted his potential thus far
Although his reaction in the double play twins ad was probably the best M's commercial moment in years.

In my commercial
I look at jose lopez and yuniesky betancourt like they are a couple of god damn retards

What are the odds
Ibanez is back in the three hole today? Worse yet, who other than Beltre right now should be batting in the 3/4 position against righties?

People keep talking about an arm, but this team needs an impact (lefthanded?) bat as much as it needs anything ...

by Nuss on Jul 28, 2007 5:12 AM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

We have impact bats,
but the front office decided to not bring them up
Would Selig notice if we had a Frankensteinesque person in Wladam Jonentien

Raul is an impact bat
His creates outs and kills rallies.  That has an impact.

If Adam Jones
is not up by August 1st I might literally cry. A punch a hole in something. This team is paining me so much right now (despite a lovely thumping of the A's last night)

This is why I love Jose Gullien
"Trust me, if somebody needs that [explosion], I'll be the first guy to do that -- start a fight or something," he said. "I'm not afraid to stir anything up. Some teams need that."
Shop smart......Shop s-mart...... YOU GOT THAT!!!!

by Scruffy Lefty on Jul 28, 2007 8:32 AM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Explosion?
I think the bomb squad should be called in.

So I noticed that Felix
was getting squeezed again by the umpire. Why do they do that to Felix? Don't they respect him?
I am not Coach Owens!

by Coach Owens on Jul 28, 2007 9:04 AM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Hey doesn't
Morrow get a save for that? He retired the last 6 batters in a 6 run game, isn't that technically considered a Save?
Too close for missles, switching to guns.

by Paseman on Jul 28, 2007 10:02 AM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

No.
In that situation, you have to pitch three innings.

by Jeff on Jul 28, 2007 11:52 AM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

And press
up down up down left right left right B A B A start, then warp to world 8.
