Surprised to see Doumit starting

It’s a day game after a night game, and he’s caught 21 innings the past 2 nights. Guess JR doesn’t have a choice—not many bats in the lineup.

If Andy LaRoche wasn't injured

I think Chavez would be starting today

I bought a cheap seat for this game last night

but I think I’m gonna skip it because the weather is iffy and probably gonna get worst…

Yeah

they just issued a tornado warning for nearby in NJ, and we could have hail and stuff, too.

said there are no common open dates….

Meyer says it’s not stopping soon and the forecast is the same for tomorrow at NY….

looks like a 3:15 first pitch

I'm about 20 minutes from the park

but I have to pack for my vacation this evening, so I’m just gonna eat the ticket…. it was a cheap one anyway, and a crappy seat.

Yeah, if the game woulda started on time, I would have

had time to get everything done… but since it could get further delayed, I’m just gonna hang and watch it on TV and stay dry.

you couldn’t have packed instead of watching King of Queens…

what’s he gonna do when Mario & Luigi come back, then?

Gorzo's Indy start for today

Pitched 5 scoreless outing then the botton fell off in the 6th giving up 3 runs

10 K’s however and in line for the win.

by Bad Andy on Aug 10, 2008 3:35 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

One walk.

It was a great outing until the 6th. Just couldn’t get that last out.

by Slick1 on Aug 10, 2008 3:38 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

FYI...

Gorzo pitched today and was cruzing through 5. Put up zeros and had 10 Ks with 1 BB until running into trouble in the 6th. He’s out of the game now after giving up 3 ER. The 10 Ks is promising although I wonder where is velocity is at.

if Minky can take Freddy’s spot at 2nd

Minky can play 3rd

And they can try Luigi at 2B—they say he can handle it.

sounds good to me

I like Minky’s hustle and bat…..I could do without the retard kid called Freddy

Jesus 500...

He’s had a rough season probably due to the injury but outside of is Ofer yesterday he’s been raking lately. And he’s been nothing but soldi for us season we put him in the every day limeup. Let me guess, you were one of the ones calling for us to dump Bay last year after his ONE, INJURY PLAGUED, bad season. Look at Cliff Lee as another example of what a little patience will get you. Give Freddy a break already.

by Slick1 on Aug 10, 2008 3:53 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

nope Bay was my favorite buc

I have always disliked Freddy even before this year.

I will continue to hate him…we should have never paid him either

OK.

I don’t dispute that the contacts handed out this season look bad right now; but why in the world do you HATE Freddy? I don’t get it; he’s been a solid performer for this team since we got him. Please explain.

I could get used to this

WHY

were we sending out YOSLAN HERRERA instead of this guy?

Brian from Raise the Jolly Roger!

by Raise the Jolly Roger on Aug 10, 2008 3:54 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I have no clue

but i saw Herrera in Harrisburg on Friday.. struck out the side 1 inning, then gave up 5 in 3

by Battlin Bob on Aug 10, 2008 3:55 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Because...

he’s been in the league since 2003 and has never been really good. Be careful judging pitchers on one or two appearances. It wasn’t long ago a poster on this board, I don’t remember who, was ready to annoint Herrera the second coming of Nolan Ryan after his shut out.

by Slick1 on Aug 10, 2008 3:58 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

yeah but

someone who’s been in the league for a while and has not been completely awful is a lot better than most of our staff of late

Look at Moyer's pitch count

43 pitches thru 2. Of course Moyer is good for 125 pitches or so. He’s like Wakefiled—no effort.

by WstCstBucco on Aug 10, 2008 3:57 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I actually...

think Gomez will go before Rivas because of his age and lack of versatility. Rivas actually hasn’t been too bad in his role since JR realized he is not an every day, or even semi regular, SS.

Davis got an error on his throw to first from the bunt

and then whoever was at first got an error when he threw to 2nd… it was the most embarrassing thing I’ve seen not involving a player named Bixler.
