Line-up

CF Nate
2 Freddy
C Doumit
1 Black Hole
3 Luigi
LF Mossome/Triple-M/Rolling Stone
RF Pearce
SS Jack
P Duke

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".

Pearce

glad to see he is back in the lineup.

I cringe every time I see Doumit in the lineup simply due to the defensive gaffes he will inevitably make. His bat obviously makes up for it but his poor defense seems to grate on me more and more throughout the season.

I made most of my life decisions at a Foghat concert... I stand by them.

Doumit

 has got to play to get better.

by ElliottBayBucco on Aug 16, 2008 5:52 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

He is no worse than the latter options

its not like the Pirates are chalked up with gold glove talent anywhere at any position

10 Quality Starts in a row/Aug. 08 - BUT now we can't hit:(

Doumit

I’d rather have him than Chavez or Paulino god-forbid. Doumit’s gaffes just grate me more than anyone else’s do.

I understand that he is young and has not started consistently yet and therefore is prone to make mistakes but that doesn’t mean I’m happy about it.

well

that’s not a good start

And we're off

Is there a rcord for most runs allowed by a team in the first inning?

Can’t wait for Gorzo, Mr. Wonderful and McCutchen to come up on 9/1

Nice start...

Opponents are hitting .308 against Duke

.320 against Snell. I will give you one guess where those two rank in the NL in opponent avg.

Wow!

you’re smart.

it was just a matter

of if JVB had enough innings to qualify for that stat

Duke used to be good

have great command and loads of confidence…then Tracy and the Idiot squad told him he could be better if he changed his approach and his delivery ……and we see how that went

10 Quality Starts in a row/Aug. 08 - BUT now we can't hit:(

maybe

some hypnotherapy could help him get it back

could make my 7 year old niece look like Tony Gwynn.

PEDRO MARTINEZ scoring from first

WTF you got to be kidding me…..

I can’t wait for football to start

what do you all think of Rasheed Mendenhal

sorry if i spelled that wrong

he'll be

a good option to ligten parker’s load a bit, especially coming off the injury.

I am down here in TX so I have watched Limas "Bean" Sweed often

he will be good but he is a head case…maybe the NFL can humble him

10 Quality Starts in a row/Aug. 08 - BUT now we can't hit:(

by .500 Please on Aug 16, 2008 7:35 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Haha

Yeah, it is Rashad Mendenhall, but he should be alright. I loved him last year at Illinois, but reports from camp say he struggles a little in short yardage situations.

McLouth

had no idea what he was doing there

North Side Notch

by northsidenotch on Aug 16, 2008 7:29 PM EDT   0 recs

Yeah

that was pretty ugly…I feel cheated because I have defended the criticisms of his defense.

by DITO on Aug 16, 2008 7:32 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

he was just blinded by disgust

Adam LaRoche

average up to .270…unreal

Props

to Black Hole. As bad as he was the first month and a half, he has been very good the last two months.

by Hitman Easler on Aug 16, 2008 7:36 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

but no one notices

because he is only digging himself out of a pit of terrible stattery

Jason

by poorboywilly on Aug 16, 2008 7:38 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

but he is almost at the same AVG as Nate is

weird

he will be playing it in another town pretty soon..

maybe the Giants they seem to like the Buc trash i.e. J. Castillo

JR House over there for a bit too?

Jason

by poorboywilly on Aug 16, 2008 7:42 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

House plays for the Astros chain

he is Round Rock..but he was down here in our town of Corpus Christi for a while….the boy smashes the ball…but there is no where for him to play in the field..his arm is shot so the put him at first but with berkman in Houston I doubt he will see time there

10 Quality Starts in a row/Aug. 08 - BUT now we can't hit:(

deffinitley

he won the Texas League Championship for the Hooks here in Corpus. Him and Hunter Pence…..who is having problems right now

Houston

just called him up today.

by Hitman Easler on Aug 16, 2008 7:43 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

really

maybe because of no more Lee.
He has so many surgeries on that arm who knows if he could get it into the infield.

they have played him everywhere though

10 Quality Starts in a row/Aug. 08 - BUT now we can't hit:(

house is going to catch though i read here

crazy but he is batting 303 and has 17 HRs

Nate

has certainly come back down to earth of late.

by Hitman Easler on Aug 16, 2008 7:52 PM EDT   0 recs

He

just doesn’t look as comfortable at the plate to me.

by Hitman Easler on Aug 16, 2008 7:56 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Can we score more than one run?

Time for little LaRoche and Pearce to prove they belong.

by Hitman Easler on Aug 16, 2008 7:54 PM EDT   0 recs

Problem is that this crap is getting old.

Our pitchers seem to be great at getting a bunch of guys out in a row…AFTER they’ve already let the horse out of the barn with 3 or 4 runs.

by Thunder on Aug 16, 2008 7:59 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Jeez

it did not look like Reyes hit that as hard as he did

I missed the start of the game.

IS THIS THE FIRST THAT BROWN HAS MENTIONED ALVAREZ?

by Thunder on Aug 16, 2008 8:08 PM EDT   0 recs

he said

something in the pregame talks, but basically yes

Hell bring him up now..

couldn’t do any worse. maybe he can pitch

66 pitches, 44 strikes...

NH…I think Gorzo is ready.

by Thunder on Aug 16, 2008 8:15 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

BTW...

I see that David Price is scheduled to pitch against Indy on Monday night.

Anemia

thy name is PBC offense.

by Hitman Easler on Aug 16, 2008 8:26 PM EDT   0 recs

Gorzo's perfecto is gone

Hit Mike Defelice with a pitch.

by Thunder on Aug 16, 2008 8:27 PM EDT   0 recs

But next batter

hit into DP…so Gorzo at the minimum through 6 innings. 77 pitches 51 strikes.

by Thunder on Aug 16, 2008 8:29 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

lets hope

he can pitch to ML ballplayers now
