Do well Kevin!

I’m predicting he goes 6 innings, 2 earned runs, 7 H’s, 6 K’s, 3 BB’s.

Just call me Xiefrank.

by xanthan on Jul 23, 2008 6:37 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

bochy said yesterday that Omar would be a bench player the rest of the season. Funny how he’s started both games since he’s said that.

by superk1ng on Jul 23, 2008 6:36 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

That’s what drives me crazy, they said about a month ago that he would see less playing time.

by xanthan on Jul 23, 2008 6:37 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

It was actually that he would be a bench player after next week (i.e., after the non-waiver trade deadline).

So check back Aug 1 to see who’s starting.

It's my blarg! Quick Pitch

by can of corn on Jul 23, 2008 6:48 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

but HOW will Omar EVER break out of this career-worst slump if we just bench him?!

by ExcuseMeSwing on Jul 23, 2008 6:57 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Seriously

Why are we waiting til next week to reduce Omar’s playing time? It’s not like he is going to increase his trade value in a week.

The idea that the trade deadline is relevant to Vizquel amuses me greatly. Who the hell would claim him on waivers after the deadline if we wanted to trade him then!? And if they did claim him, we could just let them have him anyway, which isn’t a bad thing.

Instead of releasing him, why doesn’t he get injured … and then they keep him on as an instructional type coach? They were saying that the team now takes infield regularly, I bet he’d make a great coach.

Orchard Towers is on Orchard Road, prime location. Got a lot of electronic stores and tailors that do normal business by day.
Lot of bars, too, which open late night. It’s a pretty raunchy scene with lots of hookers (“singers”) standing outside the bars luring guys in. It’s fun to see, if only once in life. Orchard Towers is always good for a knife fight or two on the weekends.
Oh, and Orchard Towers smells from all the disinfectant they have to use each morning to get it ready for the business day.
