something about escobar and lines

[Guest USAFChief]

I blame RB.

[CairoCrown]

Jamey Carroll: GIDP Machine.

[Riverbrian]

Florimon... Just don't strike out... Just don't strike out... He has been striking out a bit in those situations lately.

 

Does anyone think its possible that he's changing his approach just to make contact and by doing so... He's screwing things up and not making contact?

[Squirrel]

Yay!

It's possible.

 

It's also possible he's just not a very good hitter.

[Riverbrian]

I blame RB.

 

I accept full responsibility... Besides... I would never cross Chief... He probably still has access to some Bombers at the Tucson base and he could fly over and hit my house while I'm sleeping.

[big dog]

Geez, let's get this Phillies pitcher out of the game already.

[CairoCrown]

Stat question: Does a runner forced out on 2nd on the front end of an inning-ending DP count as a man LOB?

[Riverbrian]

Nope

[Riverbrian]

Hammer just missed

Nope.

[CairoCrown]

Nope

Didn't think so. Thanks for the confirmation.

[Squirrel]

Sigh. Chicago down 2-1

[Riverbrian]

Sigh. Chicago down 2-1

 

The best team never wins in hockey playoffs.

[Guest USAFChief]

Does Manual send his starter out for the bottom of the 6th?

[Ultima Ratio]

Wow Howard is slower than Doumit and maybe Thome.

[Riverbrian]

Didn't think so. Thanks for the confirmation.

 

Hitting into Double Plays is a great way to keep your LOB down.

[big dog]

Well, that was a fun play- groundball past Justin, Escobar out in almost medium-deep right field makes the play, Pelfrey covering for the out.

[big dog]

Wow Howard is slower than Doumit and maybe Thome.

 

I think Howard might be slower than Doumit carrying Thome.

[Riverbrian]

Does Manual send his starter out for the bottom of the 6th?

 

Nope 99 pitches.

So are rainouts.

[Guest USAFChief]

I think Howard might be slower than Doumit carrying Thome....

...while pulling a 6 bottom plow.

[CairoCrown]

Wow Howard is slower than Doumit and maybe Thome.

I don't know. If Thome ran any slower, he'd be jogging in place.

[Guest USAFChief]

So are rainouts.

As are 3 run dingers.

[Squirrel]

I don't know. If Thome ran any slower, he'd be jogging in place.

 

Konerko is slower than them all

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

This game is going to buy Pelfrey at least a couple more starts.

[Riverbrian]

I don't know. If Thome ran any slower, he'd be jogging in place.

 

Definintly Not 4G... Let's put on a suit sit in a bean bag and ask some goofy kids.

[CairoCrown]

Please, oh please don't send Pelfrey out for the 7th.

[Riverbrian]

This game is going to buy Pelfrey at least a couple more starts.

 

That and the millions of dollars he makes.
