Already a late start...
and now it’s delayed even longer.
Does it look like it might start soon? Maybe?

So... it might be a stupid question, but...
what’s the rotation looking like now?
Snell, Gorzo, Duke, Maholm, Dumatrait?

I think that’s it… In unrelated news, I’m watching the Pens/Flyers game and they just showed a trailer for the upcoming Mike Myers movie The Love Guru. Dear God it looks freaking horrible.

If someone ISNT watching pens game
let us know when the bucs get underway so i dont have to keep flipping back and forth only to see “in my own words” with John Russell—possibly most boring thing ever

The good news is
...we have a competent back-up catcher (who calls a good game)
The bad news is he was our starter f/two years running
by Trogluddite on May 13, 2008 9:05 PM EDT 0 recs
Well,
He ain’t been calling good games this year. The Pirates are something like 4-10 when Paulino starts, and 14-10 when Doumit starts. Aside from Pirates giving up .70 run less with Doumit catching, and more steals when Paulino catches.

Well, if he's no good,
why would the old regime keep him in games instead of starting Doumit last year? Surely they weren’t that incompetent?

Definitely not.
They saw that A-Ram had hit his ceiling and shipped him out for what they could.
They were amazing at trading players for relievers… and everyone knows you need relievers.
They acquired All-Star form vets like Jeromy Burnitz, Joe Randa & Sean Casey, and dealt away (or let leave) destined-to-be-nobodies like Bronson Arroyo & Chris Young & Chris Shelton & etc…
Definitely not incompetent. In fact, probably the best thing since sliced butter.

to be fair
Shelton has had all of 2 months in his career. The rest has been average at best, including not playing last year. If he blossoms, so be it, but I’m not buying the whole Shelton thing right now.

I was just struggling to come up with other names.
The only names coming up were those of Jazz players, and I didn’t think they’d fit the topic.

Didn't he used to bat
lead-off for the Pirates?
Is that why we’re struggling (and have been forever) while the Cards have a recent WS win & are 2nd place in the NL Central right now?

I wonder
If Molina has been fined and it hasn’t been announced…or if he may get suspended before the series is over.
by Thunder on May 13, 2008 9:24 PM EDT 0 recs
he'd appeal
and be able to play for another month before any suspension

Of AAA pitchers & John Van Buren
(or whatever his last name was)
Listen to a lot of sports talk radio up here – the Yanks signed (f/like 34 million) Kei Igawa as a consolation prize after Boston signed “what’s his name” from Japan.
After another lousy start, most fans are wondering if Igawa will ever perform at the big league level like he was performing at AAA or in Japan.
One commentator noted that in Japan, Igawa got a lot of outs w/an average to slightly above average change-up. The commentator said that an average to slightly above average change-up will also get out a lot of AAA batters out.
HOWEVER, the commentator noted, it won’t do much good against Major League hitters.

Was Red Sox #1 pick in 2000
but got hammered as a starter last year – believe he gave up back-to-back-to-back (to back?) home runs in one game and got immediately sent to AAA, never to return.
