Don't know that I can really fault Showalter for that decision, or lack thereof. Is a 3-run lead technically a save situation, yeah. But I'd probably save my best relief pitcher if I'm sitting on a 3-run lead too.Quote:

SOXPOCALYPSE III: Camden Yards
When it rains, it pours. First it turns out our pitching coach is a bigot who threatens families and now we have a drunk who can't call a cab for a pitcher. Wow.
Atleast, your opening day starter is not a subject of a federal investigation involving money laundering for a convicted drug trafficker in Puerto Rico. :(Quote:

Don't hate. I'm sure that sometimes clean-up hitter Adam Kennedy could hit it 290 feet, down hill, with the wind blowing out.Quote:

Gawd whoevers team was shitty enough to allow a homer to Adam Kennedy should be contracted.
:C
Mets making a comeback in the 9th
two homers, went from 10-0 to 10-3
gooooooo mets!
they also got a gift on a 2B out in the 8th, the SS came way off the bag. Umps felt bad with them down 10.
Frank McCourt is on Sportscenter talking about the MLB takeover...holy ****. He looks and sounds absolutely crazed and insane. It's unsettling. He's like Dennis Hopper from Speed. How could anyone be around him for 10 minutes and still want to do business with him?
I was obviously talking about this year, not career. And I'm not sure your 1B outhitting a 2B is what I'd call a 'burn'.Quote:

Maybe the Luxury Tax Sawx can avoid the sweep tonight against the lowly 'last place' Mariners without more help from the umps tonight.
Small chance that the Royals aren't a huge pile of sh*t this year.
I love Ryan Theriot
**** him
Anyone know how I can find out what the league average for obp by leadoff hitters was last year? Or what it has been in recent years?

In the small sample size that is 2011 so far, leadoff hitters have a .327 OBP. Blech!!!Quote:

But other than that it has been a tolerable year for baseball....
At least we do have 2 rookies that are currently in the running for ROY!
NOW its fixed! :)Quote:

My bad, my original post was meant to say there was a small chance the Royals AREN'T a huge pile of sh*t this year. Hence, the confusion.Quote:

i agree on his talent and that he has to break out. thats why i've kept him in my rotation until last night when i decided i needed to see something from him since he's been so bad.Quote:
