Are they going with a 4 man rotation, and a 9 man bullpen then? I ask because I "only" see 13 pitchers on the 25-man roster.Quote:

Well then, given that Matt Kemp is also in the hunt as HGM correctly pointed out, no "15 games in MVP" for your mancrush. :pQuote:

Hey Lackey, don't crap away this good start.
Why don't you go leave us all alone and make yourself a bleach smoothie or something?Quote:

Anderson has owned the Sox in his young career. Whats even more maddening is how they seem to always struggle against inferior arms whom they've never seen before.
I like Cameron's little "I'm Walking Here!" routine when he strolled in front of Suzuki on Ells' steal attempt in the eighth.
Awesome to see that the Rockies suck, just like you predicted.Quote:

"I went in and talked to Bochy and said, 'Listen, I'd hate to be the guy that doesn't get to a ball that somebody else might catch,'' said Burrell, who was replaced by Darren Ford in the middle of the seventh.
Aww that's a bad move bro.Quote:

Porcello has seemed to found his stuff in his last start and is facing a shitty offensive team the next two games so i figured i'd try to see if i could ride a wave. maybe too early in the season for this kind of move.Quote:

only the 4th inning, and i'm sure this will jinx it...but he's doing ok.Quote:

He does look much improved right now. Much better breaking pitches. With the way this start has gone, I'd feel comfortable using him against Seattle again.
MLB has taken over day to day operations of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Whoa! Guess they got a bit tired of all the bickering and squawking.
Maybe they'll put Joe Torre in charge.Quote:

Oh my we have a shot.
I swear to Xenu, Papelbon. The only time you can ever find the strikezone anymore is with a meatball.
Eh, not gonna happen.
Great tits! He got the out!
Matt Cain's got noootttthhhiiiiinnnn
woohoo.....big pickup. i'll start him again against SEA and then maybe release him or at least bench him in his next start against a real offense. don't trust him yet but i like to play a hot hand when they're facing a bad hitting team.Quote:

Me: Yeah well that's cause he's batting .330. His ISO is .160. That's pretty mediocre for a RF, and he's not going to hit .330 all season.
Dumbass: Ok. Keep telling yourself that he's not hitting well.
Other dumbass: Yeah, why can't you just support the guy? Quit hating!
Me: **facepalm**
Yeah he looked like a pretty solid #3 today. Command was pretty good and kept him out of trouble, got some clutch Ks. He's not going to be going deep into a game or having a 1 hit 9 K performance (his command was shot at about 90 pitches and the last K on Peguero should have been an easy walk), but there's useful upside.Quote:

Oakland and Seattle both have an OPS+ of 88 as a team. Game should take about about oh 15 minutes to play.
FMO
Torii Hunter bomb.
*Sigh* The Mariners are two Chris Ray performances from being 9-11. I hate that guy.
