Jonathan Sanchez vs. Zach Duke. Here's the box. I can't watch much of this one, which is a shame, because Sanchez is having a really interesting season so far. (The Giants' pitchers being the only interesting thing about them, naturally.) He posted a 5.88 ERA out of the bullpen last year. He's always had big strikeout rates, but he's struggled with his control. This year, so far at least, he's not struggling, and the result is 40 strikeouts in 33.7 innings and a 3.48 ERA in the rotation. There's a good writeup on Sanchez here.
-P- Just because I don't know where to put it: I thought this article about Alex Rodriguez was a joke at first, but it seems serious. Either way, it's utterly bizarre.

I had a friend
His wife went into labor. He began to act like a chicken with his head cut off. It was amusing and a bit like the stereotype one would see in the older sitcoms.
What made it astonishing was his being a medical doctor who came from a country with an exceptionally high birth rate. I’d guess he’d already delivered a few babies by that time. But it didn’t matter, I suppose.

Beautiful inning
for Duke and the defense

Without a doubt.
I would put him at first on days he doesn’t catch.

The fact that they are playing a AA team can’t hurt.

With this team
a good game is a good game (and a good sign), no matter who you play.
Biased Fan
A disillusioned Pirates fan in Utah...
And somewhere
Jim Tracy is wondering how he ever thought Morgan or Duffy should have been playing ahead of Nate.
Adam
needed to lose the refrigerator he was lugging around 3rd.
Looks like Cincy is gonna lose, too. I know in the big picture it doesn’t matter much, but I just like to see them lose.
.500 or bust...
They lose, we win...
we’re not last in the NL Central any more.
It’s a start if we hope to move up.

Only problem is
that it is the Cubs they are losing to. If I had to choose between the two, I would rather the Reds win.
The Giants...
aren’t even the worst team in the NL West.
Nope… the Padres & Rockies are worse than they are.
Biased Fan
A disillusioned Pirates fan in Utah...
I grew up equidistant from both cities, so it’s more of a personal satisfaction thing, since half the town rooted for the Reds and the rest of us were Pirates fans.
.500 or bust...
I must confess
I heard that before posting. Bet a little of Burnett’s “I’m clearly better than anyone and should be at the Big Club NOW” swagger just got wiped out.
Not exactly
He gave up a 3-run bomb from the bat of former Buc bum Jose Castillo
+ Late Ollie P. Update
Local sports talk radio is getting ugly on Ollie. Can’t figure out why he’s erratic and – more importantly – why he can’t contribute to correcting himself. He got battered last night. And he got drilled by a line drive. Control not there in the 1st, then back for four innings, then…I went to bed. But the description in today’s NY Post was not pretty.
and last
a gem from an ESPN broadcasting crew sometime in the last two days…
“AA is where you stockpile hot prospects. AAA is where you stockpile inventory.”
How long has it been since
...our bullpen blew a big lead? That’s about the only way we haven’t lost recently, right? I’d hate to see Duke get a no decision.
(As an aside, Joba Chamberlain just gave up a 3-run bomb, putting the Yanks behind. There is nothing more fun than hearing Yankee fans bitch.)
