I’ll be watching the Pens but checking in on the Bucs periodically.
Don't want to make JR's head explode. . .
. . . but Luigi has a better OBP than Morgan or Sanchez.
And I’d love to see JR give McLouth a chance to lead off. I don’t have the stats (cause I’m way too lazy), but I believe he’s always hit better as a lead off hitter than batting 3rd (he had a HR last Sunday in his one lead off chance for 2009). McLouth is a paradigmatic 21st century kinda lead off hitter, while NyMo is a 1960’s-’70’s kinda lead off hitter.
Think Rickey Henderson vs. Matty Alou.
(Not that NyMo is anywhere near as good as NL silver bat holder Matty Alou.)
I’d like to see how Duke matches up against Santana and how Andy LaRoche and Moss do against him but Game 3 beckons.
Hopefully the Bucs are on at least one tv.
I made most of my life decisions at a Foghat concert... I stand by them.

Moss
Halle-freakin’-lleujah!
But why is JR throwing him out there against
Santana?Is he trying to undermine his confidence?
That was a joke, gang. Pay no attention to me.
Free your ass and your mind will follow.
No...
I think he finally got a call from NH and was told to quit the bullsh-t with my trade acquisitions!
Oh, if THAT
were only the case…

You're right, of course,

I hope we win, but....
…this lineup makes no sense. Does JR not know that Johan thrown left handed? Monroe has been our best hitter against lefties all season, guess he needed a day off.
Oh well….
ha.

Not particularly likely
Santana is a beast.
All the PBC’s got going for it is Luigi.
Mario’s OPS has gone down just a bit in June from May, historically. It’s July when it goes up .240 over June.
And Robizone can’t even get a start against the LH???
If I want a cold shower, dude,
I can turn around and walk into the bathroom. It’s right there.
I am hopeful tonight. Don’t blow it for me, man!

Anyone else
feel a NyjMo 0-4 3 K’s coming tonight? Hope I’m wrong. I just don’t see any way he hits Santana the way he looks against average lefties.
reverse psychology, right?

and 11 for Santana.

BTW...
Indy delayed by rain.
Negrych…2 run HR in the first for Altoona. They are going to need lots of runs. Yoslan Herrera pitching for Curve tonight.
Pedro NOT in the lineup for Lynchburg tonight.
You can prolly
just copy & paste it:
A. LaRoche, K

Yeah, there was only one out. That was unnecessary.

y'all are
about a minute ahead of Lameday. It says ZD fielded the bunt, too.

Duke fielded the second bunt (the sac by Santana). Reed reached on the first when Adam picked it up and Duke couldn’t cover first in time.
just
re-read that. gotcha.

Thanks. Yeah, it’s been a while. Lots of school and travel. More of that later this month, but I’ve got a bit of a reprieve this week.

Morgan was a little slow out of the box, maybe.
by Charlie Wilmoth on Jun 2, 2009 7:53 PM EDT up reply actions
Is that...
interesting good, or interesting strange?
Well, I wouldn’t say it’s bad, or at least the last couple innings haven’t been. Wright gunned Morgan down after almost getting knocked over, and then Martinez almost made an amazing play on Sanchez’s dying quail.

Interesting like

Nice job by Morgan to stop that hit by F-Mart from being a double, given how far toward center Morgan was playing.
When
is JR gonna stop shading him?

Morgan’s temper tantrum was pretty awesome. I have to give him credit for that. The helmet-spike was top notch.

I agree, and I probably would have done something similar

gotta say
our D has been pretty darn good this year. I would say our starters are above average at every position.

Yes! IDENTICAL RBI doubles!
And I love that JJ gets his first HR of the season off Mr. Santana. That’s awesome.

I was hoping for a chance to deride Sheffield.

sheffeild can't get to anything

My other question:
Why Monroe?
Why not move Moss to LF, and put DY in RF?

Officials in Pittsburgh...
are obviously blind tonight. At PNC…Morgan gets tossed on a bad call.
At the Igloo…Pens had 6 skaters plus a goalie on the ice for about 25 seconds…and it never got called.

Nice PH Vazquez
One pitch, one ground out to 2B.
Why does JR keeping going back to this dryest of all dry wells?
It's looking good so far.
Man, would I like to see them win again tonight.
I don't know...
Grabow only threw 5 pitches…I might leave him in.
Can't happen
JR left strict instructions before starting his nap that Capps would pitch the 9th.
The coaches aren’t allowed to wake him up.
as noted above.

Across the Pacific in Japan,
John “Way Back” Wasdin just won his first game of the season for the Seibu Lions.
http://www.japanball.com/news.phtml?id=14516
And we’re dissatisfied with some of the ’pen personnel so far this season….
For those breathlessly awaiting a Ryan Vogelson update, he’s 0-1 with a 6.11 ERA in 15 games this year with the Orix Buffaloes.
http://bis.npb.or.jp/players/73375114.html
Yes, we’ve done worse over the year, much worse….
Ugly line of the night
Manny Parra 4 IP ii H 10 R 10 ER 2 BB 5 K 2 HR. Ouch
Florida 10 Milwaukee 1 top 5.
wow
someone with a worse walk rate than snell

Back to back wins vs the Mets! Living here in NY, I LOVE it!!!
Nice job by Duke and the pen!
Congrats to JJ on his 1st HR!
Now – Let’s Go Pens!!!

doubt about it!
