Around SBN: Clippers Need To Realize That Spurs Are The Anti-Grizzlies

Home Opener Thread, 4/6

174246766_ea2fd78204_tiny by Grant Brisbee on in News

I'm going to the game, one of the reasons for the short post below. I'll be the one wearing a McCovey Chronicles shirt buried under other, warmer layers. Say hello if you see a guy wearing a non-McCovey Chronicles sweatshirt. It could be me.

The threads should be fixed, so that 200 comments won't make smoke come out of the site.

I'm sitting in the upper deck, near the right field foul pole, so I hope someone will let me know how the game went when I come back.

Good news, we're only a game out of the NL Wild Card lead.  This might be a must-win, but we won't know until September.

I seriously contemplated skipping work to watch the game today, but my apartment building has picked today of all days to turn off the water from 9-5.

In an irony that's more sad than ironic I'll probably end up staying late at work to listen to the game since it starts at 4:35 for us east coasters.

Just looked at the pitching matchup
and Jorge Sosa has got to exhibit 1b of the Braves deal with the devil. The guy goes from being a really marginal spot starter/reliever to an ace starter with an ERA of 2.55 . I don't know how many lambs were slaughtered at the altar for that, but c'mon! Have a freaking heart Schuerholz!

Dear Sr. Rojas,
Please, please stop with the Jeff Fassero as a long reliever and spot starter strategy. He isn't good. I know, I know, he was good when you started managing, but that was a different millenium. Now, if you must have him on the team, please relegate him to lefties only. Let Valdez, Correia or Hennessey learn in long relief. Ok, sure, this means that Steve Kline's worthless self must be cut and that makes BS look a little more foolish. Deal with it.
Thanks,
Irwin

From Rotoworld:

Lowry grabbed his right side after delivering a pitch and was unable to continue following a warmup toss. A DL stint could be a possibility and would likely result in Brad Hennessey being placed into the rotation.

has yet to be determined.  From the video I guessed external obliques or intercostal muscle damage.  However, the announcers identified it as a lower back muscle.  The significant lower back muscles are psoas major and quadratus lumborus.  I have no idea what the difference in position means in terms of diagnosis.

Johnny Twobags doesn't have the blues and it makes him sad, brings him down...but not down enough to have the blues.

It's inspiring that dead people can still hit Tim Worrell.

We need to isolate this "3rd Inning", get a blood sample, and clone it. Paging Dr. Kenshin!

The lab came back with the test results.

The blood was AB-Negative.

Very rare.

I worry because I'm a Giants fan...
Bonds since elbow issues flared up March 23:

3-for-17, with two singles and one tainted ground-rule double.

That's all I can stands, I can't stands no more!

Wow...not bad. 517 comments only took the better part of 25 minutes to browse through!

Hey did anyone hear what happened to Lowry?

I felt that particular question wasn't asked enough times, therefore, I asked it again.)

No, seriously guys, what happened to Lowry?!?
