Who called Torre's use of Broxton?
Tonight — no save situation but using Broxton
Tomorrow — save situation, Broxton
Saturday — Broxton not available, need him, can’t get him, lose
…was it Phil that called that? Lookin’ good, Phil.

Torre is easy
except I expected an easy win tonight.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
But the key part of the prediction
was that tonight would not be a save.

Why didn't Torre send Belliard up to hit for GA against Tascher?
The lefty is staying in against Kemp for God’s sake.
The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
I think he’s saving Belliard for the tying run

You are trying to quell the mob
forgetaboutit the pitchforks are and the mob’s appetite for destruction will not be abated by mere words
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Yeah, tomorrow they can use their good relief pitchers
like Meek
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Dotel gave up five runs the other day
so I guess that means we will go down 1-2 -3
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
The way things are going
somehow it will take only two batters.
The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
I want Meek
So I can use the obvious going down Meekly again.
Is Ethier being ejected for throwing his bat down?

Doesn’t look like it. Usually unless it’s in the direction of the ump they will look the other way

I wish it was not so, but these guys are the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked right now. Just one freaking run please, you know you are playing the Pirates right??

Ethier saying he'd never heard of Ely
Was a subtle dig at Ned.

The bottom of the 9th is setup for a three run walk off by DeWitt

9 innings Sunday
9 innings Tuesday x2

8 innings tonight
44 innings without a lead

Vinny is so going to say Meekly
I can feel it in my bones.
Broxton hitting 96 on Gameday
Of course he is well rested.
The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
12-2 start
I remember that start quite well. Then it started unraveling with injuries (Bradley, Izturis, Gagne, etc…). We’ve got Manny, Padilla, perhaps Furcal if things start going worse….Are we seeing 2005 again without the hot record start, lol.
I still have faith in the team to make the playoffs, though.
I remember a lot of things from 2005.
Not least of which is Jason Phillips losing his job at catcher but to keep him in the lineup Tracy played him at 1B over HSC.
That’s what drove me to drink.

So that's where the fifths of gin started eh? lol
Lets see, what other terrible players were on that 2005 team…Schmoll, Houlton, Repko, I thought Choi at the time, Oscar Robles (wow), Javier Valentine, Graboswki, etc…I must have blocked it out, but who the fuck is Mike Edwards and why was he so shitty?
Add Werth to the injured list as well…
God that 2005 team was awful.
Edwards, Nakamura.... Rose...

At least in 2005 we started out as the best team in baseball
this year we sucked from the gecko.

I hope so
if we are going to be this bad, I could easily root for the Padres over the others.

Yeahbuh
They’re the only NL West team performing above pythagorus

If they win tonight, they will have the best record in the NL against LAD (min: 4 games)

I had an enjoyable evening, and then checked the box
How the fuck did their goddamn catcher hit a fucking triple?
You didn't hear?
Kemp played it into one. In the first damn inning of the homestand after the Colletti kerfuffle. What timing.
The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
He's got a stolen base on the night too
Maybe he’s just speedy

I think if we started reading the team previews of our team we'd cry

Let me know if Vinny uses Meekly lol
Gotta head out.
He didn't yet but
He did say that he was sure the Pitt sportswriters would have fun with his name.

By the by
Pittsburgh is the luckiest team in baseball, according to the Pythagorean w-l

If we were in the AL East we might be winless
not to rain but out last win was pretty fucking lucky

Don’t the Dodgers have some unlucky losses too?

We're on pace for 79

by Josie Becker on Apr 29, 2010 10:01 PM PDT up reply actions
79 losses?
That would imply 83 wins. Dodgers are 8-14. I believe that’s a pace of 59-103.

If they're the worst team in LA history?
2nd worst in LA was enough to fire DePodesta.

No
Frank will be like DTS, he won’t be able to fire him because of the extension.

I pretty much never post here or anywhere but
I just got back from the game (left in the 8th, too disgusted) and I just need to vent. I’m pretty sure that when Burris left the game he had thrown 47 balls to 46 strikes, the dodgers had RISP in 4 straight innings and got nothing, Clayton was great, and nothing??? I just don’t get it. It almost feels like they’re willfully losing. Of course I know they aren’t doing on purpose but I just don’t get it.
Can he field fly balls?

Looks like Monk is going to have to be the stopper
because we know that Chad doesn’t have whatever it is he doesn’t have.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Jamey Carroll will bat 2nd and Garrett Anderson will bat third
by StolenMonkey86 on Apr 29, 2010 10:06 PM PDT up reply actions
I'm glad
I made it for the last out. I think I’m going to see how much I can get for my signed Ramon Troncoso ball before the stock goes down to 0 and his arm falls off.
What a joke.
Brian Burres is the first starting pitcher in the majors this year to get a win despite throwing more balls than strikes
I’m glad you are writing the recap to this one and not me.
