Im not going to drink the cool-aid just yet

As fantastic as it was to see us sweep up in Chavez-latrine, we were equally swept at home 1st. I have a feeling we are just going to be in that "are we in, but really were 10 games out" type run all year.

Any success with this geriatric lineup just further empowers Sabes to keep this team old. While Lincium has a sub 1 ERA and Fransden is hitting .400 in Fresno.

If we trade Johnathan Sanchez for another John Vanderwall in the "strech run" this year, I will picket outside the stadium like Frank Cho of the 10,000 galaxies.

Re: Open Gameday Thread, 4/27

when I was in high school I was on the volleyball team for two years. My Junior year we got on a win streak and I didn't wash my socks. Because we had something like 4 juniors on the JV team (our varsity was stacked with seniors) we were easily the best JV team around (playing against freshman, ha!) and we didn't lose for a long time. Eventually the socks were so rank that I had to wash them, even though, if I remember correctly, we hadn't lost yet.

I really like the playoff beard thing, though, I think that might be the best superstition out there.

Re: Open Gameday Thread, 4/27

Come on now, with you witty writting, threaded sarcasim, and baseball knowledge you know better then to give up on someone after one bad game, even if he didn't save it somehow on lucky break road. Todd Linden will hit eventually and replace Winn, the bullpen will continue to develop and they will become deeper. Ortiz will melt down every 3-4 games, but we'll remain in the hunt.

Send Lowry and Sanchez to the Yanks who can't win with A-rod if they don't have any pitching. There's our spot for Lincicum and Wilson and the ring is waiting. If the Yanks wait they'll get nothing for him. They'll never be more vulnerable.

We were out at the Olive Garden for dinner, which was lovely.

Uh, odds are they are probably basic white, cotton, underpants. But I sort of think well maybe they're silk panties, maybe it's a thong. Maybe it's something really cool that I don't even know about.

I'm not really complaining; after he walked the bases loaded, the struggle between Good Russ and Evil Russ clearly was won by the harp-playin' one.

But I keep forgetting that my very first game at Pac Bell, Russ gave up five runs on two hits by walking everyone including the umpire, the peanut vendors, and Darren's mama in the first inning, then shut the Rockies down for another seven. It's just Russball, what can ya do.

That run he left at 3rd with one out in the 8th did end up looking very big. I don't know what the point of having both Sweeney and Klesko is if you don't use one of them there in a situation in which Pedro has proven he can't be trusted.

by English Professor on Apr 27, 2007 9:37 PM PDT up reply actions

Re: Kruk and Kuip

Exactly. It was even more noticable tonight as Randy Winn goes 3 for 4, hitting behind the inept Pedro, all three hits including a homerun coming with 2 outs after Molina and Fleas make outs. Molina hit in bad luck. Fleas just did his usual popup, groundball to the leftside.

by wilriv21 on Apr 27, 2007 9:59 PM PDT up reply actions

Why aren't we taking swings at Durham?

Because he's established himself over the years and this season as an above average player.

Because it is unfair to have him hitting in the 5 spot behind Bonds. Durham is a no. 2 or a no. 7. This goes back to not replacing Kent.

Because Feliz has never done squat as a starter. He has never demonstrated the ability to be a major leaguer in that capacity.

Because it is anticipated that Feliz will hit like shit and Durham won't. They have both demonstrated why those expectations are justified.

Re: another player gets a pass

Um, did you read what E wrote? The reason why we don't get all over Durham is because he's proven himself many times in the past (see: last night). He's also played in every game this season, so he may be tired.
