Re: Open Gameday Thread, 9/17

Hey Grant, two years ago I wrote a paper on Horace's dedrylical hexameter's impact on tendrilical pentameter. I totally got a B+!

The only difference is that I had to apply mine to the Aristotelian theories on large watercraft in French dramatic plays of the 1950's, but if you want it a litte ctrl+f, replace all should fix those problems right up!

Um...isn't that what all liberal arts majors say?

Us practical people...those with B.S. Degrees or in my case a B.Arch degree aren't given the same artsy fartsy latitude.

Re: Open Gameday Thread, 9/17

It's nearly time for dinner, and you are getting impatiently hungry. You have three corn dogs in your freezer. Do you:

A. Oven (425 degrees for 20 minutes)
B. Microwave (2:30 on high)
C. Forget the dogs and drink over-filling beers (I'm thinking Guiness here) whilst watching B-Webb miss bats.

Yesterday was option C, but substitute Peavy for Webb. I'd rather not repeat that.

Microwave the dogs, drink the Guinness.

Sell the Guiness to an Irishman. Buy yourself some Newcastle Brown Ale and call it a night.

Newcastle is good, but give me something dark and heavy anyday!

Hmmm, malty.

Re: Open Gameday Thread, 9/17

I'll take Guinness on tap over just about anything (it's just like drinking chocolate milk), but between Newcastle from a bottle and Guinness from a bottle, give me the Newcastle.

I can't think of another beer that goes as far down the chain as Guinness simply from being shoved in a bottle.

News and Notes

Thank God Durham is starting as his quest for a sub .200 BA continues. He's currently at .217
Why is Roberts in the lineup? I'd rather see Schierholtz get more ABs.
Correia has been solid since his move to the rotation. He boasts a 1.98 ERA this year as a starter in 27.1 IP. He holds a career 2.87 ERA in 15.2 IP against Arizona.
Free Scott McClain already!

by xanthan on Sep 17, 2007 6:15 PM PDT 0 recs

More useless numbers!

I might have answered my Roberts question.

He's a career .277/.306/.404 hitter against Webb in 51 PAs. Not great but who knows.

Durham is a .310/.326/.571 hitter against Webb in 44 career PAs.

Ouch. Feliz is a career .226/.306/.290 against Webb in 36 career PAs.

Re: Lineups

I don't understand how Frandsen doesn't get into this offense... Schierholtz should be getting abs, too... at least Durham's not batting cleanup.

That's the extent of my passion for this lineup.

But he his batting 5th, which is bad in its own right.

He should hit 7th ahead of Omar.

Re: Lineups

Free Scott McClain? He's come off the bench the last two nights, what more do you want?

Him to actually get in the game or have an at bat? How silly!

Re: Open Gameday Thread, 9/17

You would think, as a manager, knowing you're coming back to manage this team NEXT year, it would be in YOUR best interest to play the Frandsen's, Schierholtz's, Velez's - you, know, to get a look, to get a head start on next year. Or is it baseball's right of passage that Septemeber call-ups just take in the 'atmosphere' for one whole September?
