I'm working on another, far more interesting post than could ever be written about this game, so all I'll say is that I blame the 83 pitches RRS threw on Sunday for his lackluster relief effort. Nice going, Miguel. Can't you do anything right?
That Jose Lopez kid is okay.
Biggest Contribution: Jose Lopez, +23.3%
Biggest Suckfest: RRS, -22.4% :(
Most Important AB: Lopez double, +25.1%
Most Important Pitch: Murphy double, -21.4%
Total Contribution by Pitcher(s): +23.2%
Total Contribution by Lineup: +26.8%
Total Contribution by Opposition: 0.0%

Curse you, Loafie!

Curse you for being awesome?

We would have lost if he hadn't done well.

Loafie is awesome in every possible way

Not according to Dave and Derek.
BrianL - July 10, 2008
I'm not buying his take on Lopez just yet.
He’s basing it on a really small sample size, and the DER has gone way, way up since Reed was called up. I’m with him on Yuni, though.
Aaron Campeau - July 10, 2008
I have never uttered this phrase before
but Dave and Derek are wrong.

The soprano sax?
Oh, I get it, you think Kenny G is the most fucking badass sax player ever. Oh look at him, he wrote SONGBIRD DAMMIT.
Have you ever listened to Coltrane!? HAVE YOU!? HAVE YOU!? That man was a sax player, KENNY G IS JUST A THIRD RATE HACK WHO DOESN’T UNDERSTAND THE BASIC RULES AND FUNDAMENTALS OF JAZZ
FUCK YOU TITS!
...And for the love of God, heal up and pitch better.
BrianL - July 9, 2008
I have my doubts that he'll ever "heal up"
He’s 37, there’s a good possibility these nagging aches and pains will never go away. I think he might be finished as a pitcher quite frankly, there comes a point where your body just can’t take it anymore and I think he might be at that point.
OlSalty - July 9, 2008
Screw that, his choice in sax players bites.
BrianL - July 9, 2008
Doesn't mean we won't run him out there for a year and a half.

Badass sax player = oxymoron?

It most certainly is not.

Liking Kenny G is like saying Louis Armstrong was horrible at Jazz!

Getz was the sax player on that recording.

Bossa nova is one of the worst kinds of music IMO.
I love jazz, but I fucking HATE bossa nova.

That’s Al Bundy, Ted Bundy was the charismatic serial killer.
LFoJL is too insane to be Al.

Corco - July 9, 2008
I can proudly say I attended the same University as Mr. Bundy
Corco - July 9, 2008
I can not so proudly say
I worked for a hotel that was once an apartment complex that Ted Bundy lived in, and since I’ve been in every room, I’ve been in a room where Bundy once killed a hooker. I just don’t know which room it is.

I know it's not original, or even all that funny,
but as a Coug, I still smile every time I watch the Apple Cup and see a “Ted Bundy was a Husky” sign.

that my store used to be a Safeway, and Ted Bundy worked in the produce department.

I wish I managed my own store cause than I wouldnt have to worry about being fired for the things that I say here
Robert - July 9, 2008
If your bosses ever read this you would've been fired long ago anyways, so no worries

A printout of this site is actually in my coworkers secret file at work.
Robert - July 9, 2008
It's a pretty sweet gig.
All I have to do is identify what needs to be done and tell people to do it, and they pay me and give me health insurance. It’s a lot of work sometimes, but none of it is all that difficult.
Aaron Campeau - July 9, 2008
did you work your way up from bagger?
Fin - July 10, 2008
I don't work at a grocery store.
Aaron Campeau - July 10, 2008
I am sorry, I must've read the thread wrong
What store do you manage?
Fin - July 10, 2008
It's a video store.
The complex it’s in used to be a Safeway.
Aaron Campeau - July 10, 2008
You are easy to stalk.
Kirsten Schlewitz - July 10, 2008
You and Robert are both Myspace friends.
It would take you approximately one second to figure out where to find me at pretty much any given time.
Aaron Campeau - July 10, 2008
Which is why I am puzzled as to Robert's difficulty with this.

Why Vidro is batting fourth from Baker's Blog (Did anyone else point this out?)
“Even with an OPS of .571, easily making him one of the worst hitters in all of baseball, Riggleman feels that Vidro offers him the best shot at “protecting’’ Raul Ibanez when a righthanded pitcher is on the mound.” Bah, this team is stupid. Please fire Riggleman after this season and hire Joe Girardi after he’s canned from New York.
Fin - July 10, 2008
I know it's officially Jump on Baker Day,
and I feel most of it is fair, but I still love that Baker is capable of making a smart-ass comment like that.
This was also good:
Baker’s OK by me. I don’t read his blog a ton - mostly because I become drawn to the comments and immediately want to either get in an argument with a couple of complete assholes or just go jump of a bridge to make it stop - but when I do read Baker, it’s to get the little things that I can’t get from LL or USSM.
Access to the clubhouse is not necessary to analyze baseball, but it’s not without value.
Teej - July 10, 2008
I wasn't necessarily ripping on Baker
I was just using him as a reference to Riggleman’s stupidity. I think even Baker agrees that Vidro doesn’t belong on the team, let alone hitting fourth. But yea, he does do a good job writing, he just isn’t the smartest when it comes to analysis. Plus, like you said the inside access is pretty cool too.
Fin - July 10, 2008
Oh I know you weren't. Just seemed like a decent spot for me to make my point.
I saw the quote as a jab at Riggleman, and it made me smile.
