Yeah, much more than that and the load times get really slow.

Another factor is that I have to be there for a new thread to go up, unless I suspect beforehand that it will go over. I actually haven’t spent much time watching games at the computer in the past couple weeks, so there haven’t been many new threads even though some of them had enough comments.

Thanks...

for giving heads up just before the thread change. Makes it a lot easier…especially if you tab away from the thread for a minute.

We have scored 7 runs

these close games are where we need a power hitter(s)

That’s the recommendation that was handed down to me by my SB Nation overlords. A lot of blogs were running huge comment threads before this one, so I defer to them. Also, there really isn’t a number that wouldn’t ultimately be arbitrary.

Steven Jackson coming in with runners on the corners and one out. I guess he is our designated ground ball specialist.

leaving the bag to get a bad throw isn’t illegal. That’s 2 nights in a row.

Freddy

moving towards 2b, ball thrown behind him

by cocktailsfor2 on Jul 1, 2009 9:08 PM EDT up reply actions  

He did leave the bag to stop it from going into right field.

by shayborg on Jul 1, 2009 9:09 PM EDT up reply actions  

He'd have made that throw

if Nyjer were watching him from left. Seriously, it looks like his clete caught

Well

3 runs (at least) with 6 outs to go…impossible to overcome if you are the PBC

by Green_Wave on Jul 1, 2009 9:11 PM EDT reply actions  

I was wondering why he didn’t. It was an easy seventh and he was due up first in the bottom of the eighth…

by shayborg on Jul 1, 2009 9:13 PM EDT up reply actions  

It's not Steven's fault....

He’s worried because NyjMo isnt’ in left to back him up. And its the curse of Lastings – see my rap above.

does JR know

that there are other guys in the pen?

Wally Bell,

the third base ump, must have a date tonight

Time

to score with back to back to back to back home runs to take the lead

Change that first to a HBP. That looked like it hit him on the inner thigh… Scary.

DY HBP

Cutch

angry at self for not swinging at the down the middle breaker

by Green_Wave on Jul 1, 2009 9:22 PM EDT reply actions  

He saw the scouting report — Marmol walks more than a batter an inning.

by shayborg on Jul 1, 2009 9:22 PM EDT up reply actions  

Freddy!!

don’t swing at that crap

Grr. That’s what happens when you bat someone like Jones third.

by shayborg on Jul 1, 2009 9:25 PM EDT reply actions  

Not to mention Pearce and Young pushing pins all night into the head of their Garret Jones dolls.

by WstCstBucco on Jul 1, 2009 9:28 PM EDT up reply actions  

G Jones is a whoppin'

big lad. He’d make a great target for fielders at first. Hopefully, his hitting will pan out. He reminds me of a (much bigger) Adam LaRoche standing at the plate except that G Jones actually looks like he is ready to swing the bat….

by Trogluddite on Jul 1, 2009 9:28 PM EDT reply actions  

But Mario

has such a pretty swing, what will ever do without that gracing the lineup?

by Green_Wave on Jul 1, 2009 9:29 PM EDT up reply actions  

Forget us

imagine how boring games will become for the opposing 2nd-basemaen

But Mario has

such a slow lazy swing, it’s hard to believe he’s not just shoo’ing away flys. I do find it amazing how far he hits the darn ball on occasion

by Trogluddite on Jul 1, 2009 9:33 PM EDT up reply actions  

What is with all these super-long ABs?

by shayborg on Jul 1, 2009 9:33 PM EDT reply actions  

Meek’s 4th pitch there just about crashed through my monitor.

by WstCstBucco on Jul 1, 2009 9:34 PM EDT up reply actions  

I didn’t think so, but that 4th pitch looks like it traveled about 50 feet.

by WstCstBucco on Jul 1, 2009 9:35 PM EDT up reply actions  

I didn’t know trading Nyjer Morgan, Nat McLouth, Sean Burnett, and Eric hinske was a dismantling
(look at the poll on the page)

Nate

not Nat, though that would be a cool first name

by Green_Wave on Jul 1, 2009 9:35 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah, we traded...

1 below average outfielder whose performance should lead to multiple drug tests for halucigens – I like NyjMo but I don’t recall him hitting above .240ish in the past

1 older utility payer

1 above-average but not great center fielder

and

1 top draft pick who finally met his upside being a left-handed one inning specialist

quite the dismantling

by Trogluddite on Jul 1, 2009 9:39 PM EDT up reply actions  

Not to mention Rob Meyer’s new article that “Morgan = Dunn” and that the “sabremetric community” has a “blind spot” cause they don’t see that fact.

by WstCstBucco on Jul 1, 2009 9:41 PM EDT up reply actions  

Nice innings by Hanrahan and Meek. Shame about that other one, though.

by shayborg on Jul 1, 2009 9:36 PM EDT reply actions  

Nobody on,

time for Mario to go deep.

mario would have went over the right field wall if he had any kind of bat speed on that one.

by Craig59 on Jul 1, 2009 9:39 PM EDT reply actions  

Well

that will get Moss benched for the next three games
