They've gotten worse

as the season has gone on. I’m wondering why Andrews isn’t getting any scrutiny…

Nice move JR...

I’m assuming Beam could have given up ropes just as easily.

by Hitman Easler on Jun 22, 2008 3:43 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Sad part is...

unless the Pirates at least tie the game…the pitcher that has thrown the best so far…Beam…will get the loss.

I'll take it.

Once again, we put up a respectable amount of runs

and it doesn’t mean crap.

Yay!

we will be the first team to have 100 losses in interleague play.

just drink this shot of whiskey and bite down on this bullet, and it’ll all be over in no time.
