I'll say again that as bad as the pitching has been this year (and it has had some truly abysmal times), the real culprit has been, and remains, the utter offensive futility of this team. When I look at the lineup, I can't understand how they can possibly be as bad as they've consistently been.
It should only take a few practices and a few games to get used to it anyways. If it didn't, then he wasn't as good defenseivly as we gave him credit for.
I was going to ask, "If Giambi lined a ball off the top of Pineiro's head and it went over the center field wall, would it be a ground rule double or a home run?"
Can't do that if the's intentionally walked, though.
Now it's just a bunch of idiots rhyming to a beat, thinking it's music. Another group of idiots growling into a microphone and calling it a form of rock. And the rest is just no talent crap.
There are very very very few bands and/or music I will listen too that isn't at least 10-15 years old.
Whatever

MFAN - August 23, 2006
Beltre out.
No word on why.Jeff Sullivan - August 23, 2006
Maybe
They're trying to showcase WFB for an offseason trade. (Hey, I can hope, can't I?)Greybear - August 23, 2006
One would think
that giving Willie more playing time would have the opposite effect.Jeff Sullivan - August 23, 2006

Well
Now that I've adopted the Phillies for the rest of the season, I was kinda hoping they'd gain a game on SD.Greybear - August 23, 2006
They can gain a game on LA.
I want the Padres to win that division.Jeff Sullivan - August 23, 2006

Like a natural.
Easily one of the best at the position.Jeff Sullivan - August 23, 2006
That's good
I'd wondered how he'd do. I know he's a great athlete and all, but the routes are different.Greybear - August 23, 2006

That's cute.Jeff Sullivan - August 23, 2006
Damn, there went my question
I was going to ask, "If Giambi lined a ball off the top of Pineiro's head and it went over the center field wall, would it be a ground rule double or a home run?"Can't do that if the's intentionally walked, though.
kva15 - August 23, 2006
Technically
if it never touches the ground, it's a homer.C'mon, Cano!
Jeff Sullivan - August 23, 2006
Yeah
I thought that was the ruling -- isn't it the "Jose Canseco Rule?"kva15 - August 23, 2006
Keep walking 'em.
Why not?Jeff Sullivan - August 23, 2006
Wang is through.
Time for the seven home runs.Jeff Sullivan - August 23, 2006
Don't bogart

Hmmm....
wow.ThundaPC - August 23, 2006
Huh?
Hargrove won that battle?Goose - August 23, 2006
what was the on-field delay??
MFAN - August 23, 2006
Ichiro
Tried to bunt. Posada catches it on the first bounce and throws it to first. Ump calls it fair. Ichiro stares at the Ump.ThundaPC - August 23, 2006
gotcha
MFAN - August 23, 2006
Ichiro death stare
Where's that "I'm gonna cut you bitch!" picture.Goose - August 23, 2006
Right here
Gomez - August 23, 2006
It's too bad
all of Ichiro's recent cuts have been wild and misplaced.Jeff Sullivan - August 23, 2006
Cutting is a sign of emo overdose
He needs more Rammstein and crunk in his life.Gomez - August 23, 2006
Rammstein and crunk?
:contradiction overload;Jeff Sullivan - August 23, 2006
At least
it'll distract him enough to stop the cutting.(yes, you just got a sample of my bad music tastes)
Gomez - August 23, 2006
Don't feel too bad.
I just downloaded Georgia Dome.Jeff Sullivan - August 23, 2006
:EIFERSUCHT:
I MEAN, bad form.Gomez - August 23, 2006
Rammstein's alright.
Don't think I've ever heard Crunk before.Then again, my music mostly comprises of bands like Iron Maiden, Guns N Roses, Judas Priest, Megadeth, ect.
Goose - August 23, 2006
Crunk was in reference to the likes of
Lil John and the Eastside Boyz. Blame my sister for getting me into that.Gomez - August 23, 2006
...yeah I have no idea who those two are......
Goose - August 23, 2006
Oh my goodness.
Goose is like a time capsule from 1988.Jeff Sullivan - August 23, 2006
Back in that time
Music was actually good.Now it's just a bunch of idiots rhyming to a beat, thinking it's music. Another group of idiots growling into a microphone and calling it a form of rock. And the rest is just no talent crap.
There are very very very few bands and/or music I will listen too that isn't at least 10-15 years old.

Hargrove
Actually did something right.ThundaPC - August 23, 2006
No Valle,
I like to see the wrong call made.Goose - August 23, 2006
You still suck Ichiro

Ichiro gave him the ol' Death Glare.

SWUNG ON AND BELTED!....Goose - August 23, 2006
Good ol' extreme flyball pitchers.
Jeff Sullivan - August 23, 2006
Feel like puking?
Read this.Conners said that he has noticed more baseball knowledge and passion from Angels fans since owner Arte Moreno bought the team three years ago.
"The fans in Anaheim are more into the game," Conners said. "It's more of a real baseball crowd. Honestly, it's more like a Red Sox crowd."
Jeff Sullivan - August 23, 2006
He's right.
It is more like a Redsox crowd. TONS OF BANDWAGONERS!Goose - August 23, 2006
A Walk?

Last night had me worried, but I feel SO much better now.Greybear - August 23, 2006
Things I never want to see again
- Pineiro mopping up after Felix.ThundaPC - August 23, 2006
Actually
if Joel could routinely do what he did tonight (5.1 IP, 7H, 2ER, 4BB, 3K...I'd put him back in the rotation.Greybear - August 23, 2006
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Don't give Dudley any ideas.He actually fits the Jake Woods role just fine, which is where he ought to stay.
Gomez - August 23, 2006
Pineiro
Can return to the rotation. Just not on this team.ThundaPC - August 23, 2006
Yankee fans-Not good judgers of prospects
But then again, considering their craptastic farm system...From Pinstripe Alley:
