Nate back and leading off...

Suckchez back at the 2 spot :( ......rest of the lineup looks the same, including Maholm batting 8th.

Can't JR

just look at Freddy BA and see that him at the #2 spot isn’t working.
I mean, you don’t even need to look at all the fancy numbers to see that Freddy isn’t hitting the ball.

The Utah Jazz. The Jazz... duh.
The best NBA team in Utah... no doubts about it!
Playing For Pride. Pirates, Utes, Panthers, and more...
Because, in the end, only one team can "win it all".

Did EVERY body

who got a nice contract in the offseason go bust?
Freddy
Snell
Capps
Am I missing anyone?
If these had been Littlefield deals, we’d be marching around the stadium with torches and pitchforks.

I guess if we're going to pillage management for those contracts

we’ve got to congratulate them for not extending the Roach.

Not like

it was their decision. They got turned down, right?

by bucdaddy on Jul 5, 2008 7:32 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Freddy gets on with 1 out.

Stranded, though.

Obviously.

This team really doesn’t like stringing hits together.

Ugh, not a great swing for Bautista.

These unis are distracting. I sometimes find myself forgetting what team I’m watching.

Cameron goes deep.

1-0 Brew Crew. :(

JVB in Gorzo's slot for now.

Unless he has to pitch Monday or Tuesday, he will start Wednesday. Dumatrait and Snell to be on pitch counts Monday and Tuesday.

JVB will apparently have to commit a felony...

for the Bucs to give up on him.

by Hitman Easler on Jul 5, 2008 7:47 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Actually...

I think 2 or 3 more real bad starts…he’ll get the same treatment that Bullington and Burnett have (getting DFA’d).

by Thunder on Jul 5, 2008 8:00 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

X-Man takes 3 strikes...

not much of a discount on those Astros tickets so far.

by Hitman Easler on Jul 5, 2008 7:58 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

Maholm with 6 Ks through 4...

Can the Bucs get him some runs?

by Hitman Easler on Jul 5, 2008 8:09 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

how about A run?

by Thunder on Jul 5, 2008 8:17 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Wow, what a weird play.

by Charlie on Jul 5, 2008 8:13 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

Lead run at 3rd, no out....

ugh.

by Hitman Easler on Jul 5, 2008 8:17 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

You are surprised?

It’s not like it hasn’t happened to this team before.

by Thunder on Jul 5, 2008 8:18 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Not at all...

Be even less surprised if Maholm gives the lead right back.

by Hitman Easler on Jul 5, 2008 8:20 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Wow, another great play by Wilson.

by Charlie on Jul 5, 2008 8:45 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

The Brewers’ announcers have a point – it’s weird the Bucs didn’t pinch hit for Maholm there. He’s thrown 96 pitches and he was leading off the inning.

by Charlie on Jul 5, 2008 8:53 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

JR is the bizarro manager....

Milwaukee’s announcers just don’t know it yet.

by Hitman Easler on Jul 5, 2008 8:55 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

But that would

make sense

by Battlin Bob on Jul 5, 2008 8:54 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

Nate is going to mess around...

and hit .250 this year.

by Hitman Easler on Jul 5, 2008 8:55 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

Good thing he let Maholm hit and stay in.

bwhahahaha

that was Pirate-like.

Is Kendall still drunk from yesterday’s BBQ?

by lost_zero on Jul 5, 2008 8:59 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

No idea what Kendall was thinking there. Great work by Bautista and Wilson.

by Charlie on Jul 5, 2008 8:59 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Definitely a heads-up play by both of them. No hesitation at all on either end.

by lost_zero on Jul 5, 2008 9:00 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Yay! Gagne!

Not able to see the game...

How did they turn 2 with a tag play at third?

by Thunder on Jul 5, 2008 9:03 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

Kendall took a wide turn at 1st

didn’t get back in type.
