Nyjer vs. Michaels

I know you all would rather see Pearce than either of them, but which one would you rather have playing right now?

Given that choice

I have no problem with a platoon.

Nyjer is making Z sooooo mad

a first inning lead…whatever will we do?

Wonder if Minky

can get under Z’s skin as well as he can the Big Unit?

Snell is pitching inside tonight!

And it’s resulting in strikeouts, holy crap!

by camoseven on Aug 26, 2008 7:37 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

He's also

up in the strike zone most of the time.

by Thunder on Aug 26, 2008 7:39 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Snell

is going to get crushed if he keeps leaving balls up like this. Strike Three on Lee should have been hit about 400 feet

by patmeares on Aug 26, 2008 7:40 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Zambrano

should bat clean-up. .361 with 4 homers only hitting every fifth day

by patmeares on Aug 26, 2008 7:42 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

that's right brenly

best ballpark in america

by Spooner on Aug 26, 2008 8:04 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

58 pitches through 3 innings

looks like bullpen for the 6th inning.

by Thunder on Aug 26, 2008 8:06 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Not very good for Snell there,

Two awful looking breaking balls that missed high and away, he also missed with his fastball twice

by houksyndrome on Aug 26, 2008 8:16 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

bullpen is going

to be in the game earlier than anticipated.

by Thunder on Aug 26, 2008 8:32 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

the one guy on this team that should

most know how to bunt…pops one up.

Holy crap

its just the end of the 4th inning.

SLOOOOOW game

that sucked

Unlucky but he shouldn’t have been running there. And he looks kinda hurt

Hell just froze over...

Freddy walks for the first time since June 15th.

Streak ends at 204

consecutive plate appearances without a walk by Freddy.

Wow

The Lite Bucs chase Zambrano after 4 and a third. Men on second and third with one out.

i can't believe

the Pirates haven’t already rolled over

The Utah Jazz. The Jazz... duh.

no matter how bad

this team looks…and is…the one thing they won’t do is roll over

Nyjer Morgan

Gets the softest looking hits ever. Seriously, how did he manage to get 15 bloops to fall in?

by shayborg on Aug 26, 2008 9:17 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Two outs, tie game, runner at third,

best hitter at the plate…does Cotts really think Morgan is going to run here?

Eyechart strikes again, and even does a little showing off for the cameras! Piniella goes almost out to the mound but then comes back…

People are going to cite that bunt as evidence

that Nyjer Morgan is good for the rest of the season, and it is going to get really annoying.

People like me

Will simply remind them what he did after he reached.

Nate up…don’t like him running there.

JESUS CHRIST

How do you steal 44 bags in the minors and still not learn how to slide???

by shayborg on Aug 26, 2008 10:08 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

When you start a head first slide

4 feet from the bag…you are going to overslide almost every time.

that's

3 CS in 5 days.

This really needed to be Capps here

The good part of the lineup is coming up THIS inning not NEXT inning. But gee, he’s the closer, he can’t pitch NOW!

by matskralc on Aug 26, 2008 10:18 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

what, is this

4 fucking walks?

by cocktailsfor2 on Aug 26, 2008 10:24 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Russell better have a really F*$%&ing good reason for not bringing in Capps for this inning. Something along the lines of “HE’S DEAD”.

by matskralc on Aug 26, 2008 10:24 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

MY GOD

so now this MORON is going to bring Sean Burnett into the game. Oh, this ought to be just GRAND.

by matskralc on Aug 26, 2008 10:27 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

You think you're pissed, Hansen?

The rest of us didn’t get paid more money than we’ll ever see in our lives to watch that.

by matskralc on Aug 26, 2008 10:29 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

This most disturbing thing about the Hansen performance was how it looked like he really didn’t have an interest in throwing a strike at all. There was this very weird ineveitability to the whole thing. Kind of like, “I am just going to throw the ball any dang place until I get taken out of the game”. That piece of $#%^ performance really put a sour taste in my mouth about him.

by EStreet on Aug 26, 2008 10:30 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

What the hell?

Et tu, Freddy? How the hell did you not get that?

by matskralc on Aug 26, 2008 10:31 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I'd love to see a replay

The original shot didn’t show it until it was past him

by DITO on Aug 26, 2008 10:32 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Because he was drawn in – which was a pretty ridiculous decision considering the wildness of this game. If he’s back, it’s a DP with a run scored. Not a bad outcome considering the train wreck this game has become.

by EStreet on Aug 26, 2008 10:33 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

burnett about to take one for the team

assuming that Davis is N/A after pitching last 2 days…Capps is all that’s left in the pen.

Man

and I was read to pat Burnett on the ass

Whoever has

the most rest at Indy may be up here tomorrow for long relief.

The Worst Part

All you hear from the Cub announcers is them kissing the Cubs’ asses. “Its their approach”, “So much confidence that they can get it done”, but suspiciously lacking the “Well the Pirates just suck, and the Cubs should be getting killed with those 3 errors.”

JR is becoming more and more frustrating

by the inning.

First question in the post game press conference should be...

Reporter…John, how do you feel about the execution of your pitching staff??

JR…I’m all for it.

by Thunder on Aug 26, 2008 10:53 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Love it when the Mets

gag a 7 run lead…now if only we could get the Cubs to give up 7…in one inning.

we would still blow it

i believe we just pinch hit for capps…sooo

Ummm....just to be silly...

who is going to pitch the top of the 10th?

or LaRoche

nate can pitch though. i was at spring training when he was challeneged by teammates to hit spots on the outfield wall from a pitching distance and winding up and stuff. He was money

Let's see...

2 Bautistas…2 LaRoches…and now 2 Chavezes. Jesse to be brought up from Indy for Wednesday’s game…per DK’s blog.

http://community.post-gazette.com/blogs/pbc/archive/2008/08/27/jesse-chavez-heading-to-pittsburgh.aspx

Likely moves…Dumatrait to 60 day DL to open a spot on the 40 man…Hansen to Indy.
