After all that, the run against Perez is unearned.

Ridiculous!

by **peeker643** » Mon Aug 22, 2011 10:58 pm

The Cagney & Lacey discussion may have summed that Perez appearance perfectly. Just ugly and unwatchable and really, really bad.

Slip sliding Away would be the theme song.

That's my favorite part.

LaPorta is now what 1-76 in at-bats after the 7th inning?

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Mon Aug 22, 2011 10:59 pm

LaPorta chirping at some fans after that groundout.

Maybe the "you suck" chants are getting to him.

Great AB there, Matt.

He has a couple of walk offs but an immense number of bad, bad at bats. (See 8/22/11 bottom of 9th inning.)

Anyone know which hunting platform or duck blind Wickie might me in? Or what's JoBo doing these days?? I'm guessing one of them could help Perez regain his style.

On the plus side if we lose does this mean we slip behind Chicago and therefore are one team closer to being able to put a bid in for Thome? Gotta look for the silver lining somewhere...

Oh! And Jack Handyhands gets on base! Come on, score!!!

by **peeker643** » Mon Aug 22, 2011 11:04 pm

This is a really bad baseball game.

by **NH Tribe Fan** » Mon Aug 22, 2011 11:04 pm

Did you see Hannahan burning for 3rd? Looked like a cartoon character when they run off a cliff. Nice AB by Chiz

Oh no, not Zeke.

Both these teams should be relegated back to club status after this display.

RAT FARTS!!!!!!

Fitting way to end it. Dribbler to 1B.

Rat farts.

Well, I finally figured out what the C stands for...COCKTEASE. Every freaking game, this whole season, has been nothing but a giant f'ing cocktease.

by **FUDU** » Mon Aug 22, 2011 11:09 pm

So much for the great vengeance and furious anger.

I don't see why Acta brought in Perez. Hes been terrible this year when he comes in games that are tied

by **peeker643** » Mon Aug 22, 2011 11:10 pm

Pretty much every single manager in the league does the exact same thing when they're the home club. If the dude does his job it's a non issue.

But Perez has never came in a tied game and not let a run score. Why won't Acta learn from his mistakes!!

Could you imagine, somebody being a big enough loser to sit at their computer and type out comment after comment about tonight's game.

I do not. I prefer misery and excruciating pain. That way when there's only moderate pain I feel good about life.

They're at Giant Eagle. I can't drive and Lisa worked today. Figured sending my 16 yr old up for narcotics was bad form.

I don't know FtW. Sometimes I think managers believe there's safety in going with what everyone else does and don't acknowledge their individual players may perform differently.

This one hurts guys. Getting swept by Detroit was bad enough, but losing a game that you should have won against a team that is God awful is much worse. We need to win 11 games on this homestand. We got off on the wrong foot and need to rebound by winning the next three against Seattle.

Well, with the VERY short bench tonite, the only other option was Louie. I guess we could have gone with Tomlin, but how would that have looked?

They need to win one game first.

I know it's cliche' but they really do just need to look at it that way. This effing lineup makes anything else seem ridiculous in terms of looking ahead.

It hurts because you play 11 games at home against proverbial turds in the punchbowl Mariners, Royals and A's. To lose in that fashion while scoring 0 earned runs is brutal.

But look at the lineup that was out there. Donald batting second. Fukudome 5th. Matt DHing 6th. Hanahan 7th. Marson 8th. Zeke 9th. I have seen AAA lineups better than this.

Yeah but look at who failed the most tonight: Brantley. We has been digressing over the last couple of weeks and tonight was crushing. Even with that horrible lineup we still had a chance to win. Brantley choked on a fatty when the presented itself.

by **Bigfist** » Mon Aug 22, 2011 11:32 pm

He did hit into that big 1-2-3 double play. I really think he must be hurt. He really winced (at least once that I noticed) on a swing and miss. I would give him the benefit of the doubt and say that he is trying to stay in this injury riddled lineup.

I've noticed him wincing too. If he is playing hurt, props to him. If not, he needs to get his head out of his ass.

This. Brantley is a brutal leadoff hitter. That's a problem with this team. Zero capable leadoff hitters. But an OBP under .320 doesn't cut it batting first. I thought Fukudome was a great candidate to leadoff as he was a .370 OBP guy with the Cubs, but as soon as he put on a Tribe uniform his walks ended and he can't get on base either. I guess Choo would be our best candidate now. HE can run a little too. Brantley needs to hit 6 or 7 I think. He's got some pop in his bat. Well, at least beofore injury he did.

My stating of stats is not looked highly upon and someone will tell me ignore Brantley's .320 OBP as a leadoff hitter. IT's fine.

Glad I missed Perez's 9th inning abortion getting ice cream at Honey Hut. I did get to hear our bottom of the 9th inning abortion, though. Good at bat for LaPorta. I was afraid he'd start becoming something of a decent baseball player. Can't let that happen.

But hey, Chris Perez taking it all in stride on Twitter!

The Honey Hut sounds like a titty bar.

Did they have abortion flavored ice cream? They could call it the LaPorta.
