Jesus christ. Somebody fucking sit on the slider already.

This team's sphincter just puckers up with guys in scoring position.

/would have started thread but I'm 0-11. And the White Sox own us so I didn't want to give them anymore than they already got.

Who's do we go by? This one? Or tribecavsbrownsin07? :gah:

Bases loaded twice= Zero runs!

I don't care what you're paying him, I don't care how great his defense is...at a certain point you simply cannot play a guy hitting below .150

Especially when the guy you traded your Cy Young ace for is hitting nearly .400 with a +1.000 OPS in AAA.

by **bookelly** » Wed May 02, 2012 10:07 pm

Just after he mentions Lil Cowboy has a no-no. BOOM!

Yes, because Matt LaPorta's good AAA numbers have translated to the bigs in the past.

They're a helluva lot better than .140!

LaPorta 2011 OPS+ = 97
Kotchman 2012 OPS+ = 41

Almost outhits his shitty defense.

I was just typing out a post to bitch at Santana.

Consider me silenced. (temporarily)

by **RedDawg53** » Wed May 02, 2012 10:22 pm

Chicago gave us an extra out. I'll take it any way I can get 'er :thumb up:

by **bookelly** » Wed May 02, 2012 10:33 pm

Great God, Damon really throws like a girl.

Don't hold your silence on the lil cowboy Tomlin. Bitch away

Nothing to bitch about. Pitch to Morel was up a little. Pitched around De Aza. Just didn't locate. Not a guy with much margin for error. Can't throw it past people.

by **bookelly** » Wed May 02, 2012 10:40 pm

I hate to kick on a guy when he's down, but Kotchman isn't even coming close to having a good at bat. My guess is his eyes need another tune up because he clearly has no clue what he's seeing.

Yeah, he looks awful.

I think the worst stat of all of them for him is that when he puts a ball in play when the count's in his favor, he's 1-for-21. That one hit is a HR.

Most of those are weak grounders. He's just not seeing the ball.

/btw-Damon is out of game...not in dugout. :thud:

Damn! Did we get another Juan Gone again?

Maybe he just went on a beer-and-chicken run. ;-) ;) :wink:

Jack Hannahan is a effing beast! (flex)

by **skatingtripods** » Wed May 02, 2012 11:25 pm

Acta asleep at the wheel. Marson should've been running for Kotchman. Santana can play 1B. Marson might at least generate a play at the plate. Kotchman barely got to 3B.

by **skatingtripods** » Wed May 02, 2012 11:28 pm

And Tony Sipp fails to do his job in a high leverage situation. Shocker.

Wedgie would had used a pinch runner :hide:

Hell, if you're bringing Cunningham in for defensive purposes, he could have run. You still let Shelley hit, put Marson in the leadoff spot, then move Santana to 1B, Marson to C, Cunningham to LF.

by **skatingtripods** » Wed May 02, 2012 11:34 pm

That was incredible from Santana. The pick and the throw over Dickheadski.

Manny knew Santana has a CANNON for an arm (flex)

Hafner kind of got jammed a little there too. Good swing from Carlos.

Damon out due to......muscle cramps. Oh...joy.

Nice win. Get the series with your ace tomorrow.

by **Am I Here Again?** » Thu May 03, 2012 12:00 am

Do I start again? If so it will have to be early (probably before line-ups) since I have a banquet to show up at tomorrow around 6:30PM. And I ain't skippin' the banquet since the dinner cost me $21. ;-) ;) :wink:

by **scrambler** » Thu May 03, 2012 12:01 am

That game was well played all the way around. Starts with the starting pitcher...that always helps. Joe Smith and Pestano have been great this year and to my surprise other than opening day C Perez has been just fine.

by **scrambler** » Thu May 03, 2012 12:05 am

My 20th anniversary today and they were nice enough to win!! They beat the Angels the day I got married...Dennis Cook got the win.

$21 bucks? Better be Lobster :dingle:

Nope, a big-ass, medium-rare prime rib. Besides, we're coming up on lobster season around here. More plentiful means cheaper - for $21 I'll be able to get a twin-lobster dinner plus a glass of wine for my $21...and have change left over. ;-) ;) :wink:

by **CAVSTRIBEBROWNSin07!** » Thu May 03, 2012 12:11 pm

Hannahan is now 8-13 with RISP and 2 outs.

He's the homeless man's Victor Martinez, the Bizarro Casey Blake.

Am I Here Again? wrote:Do I start again?

I think the key is to having 2 people start game threads for each game. We're 1-0 that way.
