Game 78 Overflow Thread

Images_tiny by NHZ on

That (bleep)er Jose Guillen has actually taken two (bleep)ing walks today, but he'll never take this (bleep)ing bunch of (bleep)ing infants to the (bleep)(bleep)(bleep)ing World Series.

...or will he?

I would pay $100 if it would get Greinke to try and grow a beard. That would be the facial hair equivalent of Mike Brady going through a voice change.

Alright now I ask the question....

Who do you throw out in the ninth? Soria guaruntees victory, but saving him could be great to clinch a sweep tomorrow. We do have an off day coming up Thursday, though, hmmmmmm interesting situation.

Slightly OT:

I know everyone here hates the White Sox, so this might hurt, but has anybody else ever wondered how the hell Mark Buehrle stays so good? In other words, wouldn’t it be nice if Banny ended up like Buehrle (another low-K guy, although isn’t Buehrle more of a groundball guy than Banny?)

by devil_fingers on Jun 24, 2008 11:06 PM EDT   0 recs

Buerhle succeeds

but throwing strikes, changing speeds, challenging hitters at the right times, and being durable. He’s a good comp for Banny, as is, I think, Brad Radke.

Radke

another guy from another team that I always liked. Kinda got a bit dusty here when he got shelled in his last game after throwing the whole season with no pitching arm

by devil_fingers on Jun 24, 2008 11:09 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I always snark at "gutsy"

but Brad Radke’s final year was one that I’d actually use that word for. He pitched basically league average without a shoulder. That took guts.

by NHZ on Jun 24, 2008 11:11 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah, but that's where emotions are OK

it’s bad analysis, but for fandom of sports generally, it’s OK. Indeed, it’s a positive character trait. It probably won’t make you a better ballplayer, but, man, that was the anti-storybook ending.

I hope he doesn’t turn out to have been a total bastard like Kirby Puckett was.

He always seemed like a nice guy

in the post game interviews (Radke), though I know little about him otherwise.

And cut the guy some slack…it’s hard to figure on what the Twins thought they were doing trotting him out there in the post-season.

A mind without purpose will walk in dark places.

by NHZ on Jun 24, 2008 11:14 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Plenty of slack

I thought it was moving, whatever else. That’s what I meant. It was all the more poignant, from an emotional perspective. IN a way, for a guy to go down swinging like that after playing hurt the whole season, after spending his whole career playing for a team that was never quite good enough.

That’s REAL grit, not stupidly sliding into first.

Sorry, I don’t know why I get moved by this stuff. I just really liked Brad Radke, for some reason.

No worries

Radke was cool, and yes, it was pretty sad for it to end that way. That was gritty. David Eckstein diving for a ball that Mike Aviles could field is not gritty.

by jonfmorse on Jun 24, 2008 11:20 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah

the sadness was why it ruled, at least poetically speaking. It sucked for Radke and the Twins, of course. But appropriate—no helicopters taking him off the field, just sitting in the dugout. There’s a novel, or at least good essay in there somewhere.

I also got the impression he was faithful to his wife.
