Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
PABLO SANDOVAL AM STEAL DEATH, DESTROYER OF WORLDS.
Yeah, definitely different having to root for Lee after he demolished us last week
With malice towards the Dodgers
I think as the incumbent, Timmy has to have the edge over Cain if the numbers are close, even if Cain’s end up being slightly better.

Win/Win
I like them equally.

This might be a bad thing though. Winning an award like that will only increase salary(see Zito), so I’d rather have Timmy win again, so we can sign Cain cheaper. Timmy will already be expensive, but it’d be helpful to have Cain sign for slightly less.
Insanity is just a state of mind.
hes got a good shot at the pitching triple crown.
right now
tied for second in mlb in wins
first in k’s
and second on ERA

by sadison bummedgarner on Aug 6, 2009 12:06 PM PDT reply actions
Chicago wins 2 out of 3
I don’t want them to get too close
Hope each game goes 12 innings
…and score is 15-16

Looks like Aaron Cook left the game with an injured foot/ankle.
Proud father of Juan Carlos Perez. Think Albert Pujols at a position to be determined.
@#$% Juan Uribe. Dios es grande.
Sprained right toe, according to Purple Row, probably precautionary. Still, that’s the type of thing that could linger and affect his pitching (here’s hoping).

fantasy implications aside
If it means Colorado loses, I’ll take it. Although I need a roster spot when Pedro comes back…

I enjoy when Tulowitzki strikes out, and they show fans from other teams heckling him. Common bond of hating that douche.

How come they aren’t swinging at the first pitch and popping out? What kind of approach is this?

unaggressive
They are cheating the game.

Slightly OT:
This is not exactly the most scientific work, but I was bored and wanted to see how Pablo would fare if he played home games in Philadelphia. So, I took Pablo’s hit-chart at ATT and super-imposed Citizens Bank over it:
Looks like about 9 more clear-cut homeruns, possibly more.
Again, this is probably wildly inaccurate, but it’s sorta fun to think about.
Oh damn I knew that Philly was a bandbox but seriously?
That difference is pretty damn dramatic.

can you super impose aaron rowands suck-chart and see if its the ballpark screwing him?
With malice towards the Dodgers
fair enough.
pretty awesome you did that though. You should make a fanshot of that
With malice towards the Dodgers
Thanks! I would fanshot it, but I fear backlash from the scientific (STATS!) community. There are a lot of unknowns…
sogood
I don't know anything about minor league players, so I adopted the Coke Bottle, someone please help me.
I also make music, please check it out
That is Crazy!!!
That would give Sandoval 27 HRs!!!! Howard only has 26 and is hitting .251 to Pablo’s .334
No wonder Raul Ibanez is so awesome this year.
In other news,
/drops Pat Burrell from his fantasy team
Merkin Valdez? Manuel Mateo? A rose by any other name...
Nats up 9-8

Is there a way they both could lose?

He said how he decided to check and see what we said about him on here…I guess someone said he was worse than Damon Bruce and Urbin laughed about it. He said he needs thick skin to be on knbr and that its a compliment that people talk about him on here.
Then he said that he was impressed at how knowledgeable people are on here and on Athletics Nation and that hes pulled story ideas and what not from us…saying that we bring up good points and look at things in different ways sometimes than him
With malice towards the Dodgers
He’s just going to see a lot of comments about how he looks like a thumb.
by kdl on Aug 6, 2009 7:26 PM PDT up reply actions
no way he's worse than Bruce
He’s not that bad actually, just a little annoying when he talks about Zito
LOLDGERS!
Randy Wolf walks in a run, 3-1 ATL
Brian Sabean strongly encourages you to disregard the drudgery of your employment responsibilities and join him in the consumption of spirituous libations.
Also, if the Dodgers lose, they will no longer have the best record in Baseball
and the shitty Dodgers fans are doing the wave right now

Nice play by Prado to save that from going into RF. 2 outs now. Also, I love it when Hudson fails. Makes Renteria signing just a wee bit better every time

Rotoworld just said Derek Lowe earned his 12th victory in a 4-2 Braves win and that he’ll pitch against the Giants next.
I’m going to stick with Rotoworld on this one, guys, and get a good night’s sleep. There’s no way they got all of those facts wrong. Good night!
wowzer that sucked
man do I hate dodger fans, and the fact that they’ll be talking about this at work tomorrow.
