Game Nine Overflow Thread 2

where we win this thing?

Another reliable arm in the late innings would be good.

I’m asking for him to provide means of watching or listening to the royals for the eastern seaboard, he owe’s us that.

it was a bad tag

 But UGGGGGGH. Would be 5-5.

I quit paying attention to the thread(s) for a while there.

that was one of the furthest hit balls ive seen in the K

Thought for a second…

Despite it feeling like that for like 30 minutes, now.

Have no idea what Teahen was thinking, there. That was just stupid.

The girth of this stadium is maddening, sometimes.

but I saw someone hit the roof of the old concession stands in left and McGwire hit one behind the Jumbotron in BP one year that landed just over the old fence.

how close did we just come to hitting back to back to back homers?

Almost thought home run.

Olivo just ahead. It seems luck has not been on our side this game.

And I’ll say it again: Jacobs has been much better than I thought he would be.

He works counts, takes some walks, doesn’t swing for the fence every time.

I actually kinda-sorta am warming up to him. Only in the slightest, though.

I thought Olivo was some fastball hitting dynamo. That was a 4-seam fastball at the belt. How did he miss that?

But, no.

And, shock of all shocks, Olivo strikes out.

Kerry Wood isn’t unhittable, though.

in other stunning news, world spins on its axis, people are born and die, and paparazzi stalk talentless Hollywood celebrities.

once with 1 out and once with 2 outs, and we get 1 run. Yes, we should be winning this game.

We actually have a major league stretch of hitters coming up next inning, with no more Pena or Bloomy or any of that junk.

Callaspo-Crisp-Aviles-DDJ could make some damage.

I’m feeling very strangely confident, for the current situation.

HoRam in the game severely diminishes my confidence, though.

Ugh and ugh

HoRam was quite good in relief last year.

but an awful pitcher.

Trey, I’ve tried to stick up for you and your bullpen choices.

But your choices have pretty much cost us this game.

What the fuck are you thinking?

What is wrong with Tejeda, or Waechter or Jamey Wright, or any-fucking-body?

FILLS ME WITH HOPE BEYOND MERE WORDS

Brilliant, Trey. Brilliant.

now Hafner who’s 2 for 3 and totally dialed in is gonna come up with 2 men on, can anyone say 3 run loss?

in Tejeda.

It’s official. Trey is retarded. Really, really, retarded.

That is retarted

The one guy HoRam migth have an advantage on…

I think Hillman has been a colossal failure as manager. At times, his weaknesses are really transparent, such as in today’s game. At other times, he can cover it up. However, the sensible games don’t counter for the eff-ups. They seldom do. Hillman isn’t the manager of the future.

lets go!

since we took out the groundball specialist

Ponson actually pitched good? Nice

olivo!

I’ll take the out call though.

he was safe.

in spring training. Wild pitch deke. Works every time.

Trey let Farny blow it, I assume?

N-no thru 7. Top 8 now. 2-0 Saaawwwx.

Trey is a genious!

Seriously, though, I think people are way too tough on the guy. He’s an averageish manager, IMO. Makes the same moves most managers owuld make.

No runs out of that! Trey’s either brilliantly stupid or stupidly brilliant (I can’t decide).

Kerry Wood has a penchant for, well, for blowing games.

And we have a really solid little ineup action going on here.

We still could win!

can go right to hell. Their commercial raises my hackles.

Hope lives

loves flipdowns.

The More You Know

it seems

a) Mike Jacobs
b) Joakim Soria
c) Mike Aviles

Thank you

And still, we should have won.

Eventually, those things even out. We’ll win a game we probably shouldn’t have.

Still first place in the division, tied with the Tigers.

5-4.

and we’ve got Meche, Greinke, and Davies this weekend @ TX….against their lineup we shall see how good our Big 3 really is.

but unless you think “clutch” is the be-all-end-all, the offense ended up pretty good

7 hits, 6 walks, a bomb from Mike Jacobs (you’ll remember that he was another guy I was virtually alone in defending at the time he was acquired).

I suppose those are good signs.

to start getting the taste of this crap out of our mouths.

We should have won this game; entirely too many balls that Just Missed going somewhere.

Til Kyle Farnsworth’s contract expires.

Gone

Which is insane considering the lineup and starting pitcher

Olivio’s strike-out rate dropped from 65 percent of plate appearances to 62 percent! At this rate, he’ll draw a walk by July.
