Brewers-Giants?

Pedroia goes yard in his first AB

Was it a high-inside pitch?

ROFL

[Buck]

LOL, The Brewers are originally an AL Team, remember that.

[WilliamTheIrish]

The Brewers yes, the town however was originally an NL town. The Milwaukee Braves were an original NL franchise.

[Denver Dave]

Brewers-Giants?

Beat me to it.

[Ultra Peanut]

Watching the HD Game Mix just makes me want to fork over $200, and there are only two games on right now.

[Ultra Peanut]

Evan Longoria is sexy.

[bango]

I look for the Brewers to repeat.

[Ultra Peanut]

Bonifacio is my fantasy sleeper!

[Bearcat]

So, uh.... what's wrong with the Yankees?



:D

[Ultra Peanut]

:DA-Rod's not a True Yankee.

[Hootie]

0-2 to Soriano...95 MPH in his sweet spot...can't argue with that.

[Denver Dave]

Bonifacio is my fantasy sleeper!

I doubt you had Bonifacio before yesterday:rolleyes:

[Hootie]

I doubt you had Bonifacio before yesterday:rolleyes:

I didn't...but I have him in both my leagues now and he's 2/3 with a BB and a SB!!!

Hehehehehehehehehehe!

If he keeps it up for a few more games I can package Pedroia and one of my OF's (I'm so crowded at OF) for an elite guy like Pujols...because the guy with Pujols has NOTHING at MI and he's desperate.

[Ultra Peanut]

In that uniform, Joe Blanton looks like a tubby old guy in a Legends game.

And he's pitching like one, too.

[Hootie]

this is what I get for bashing the guy for taking McCann 23rd overall...

[MIAdragon]

In that uniform, Joe Blanton looks like a tubby old guy in a Legends game.

And he's pitching like one, too.

The guy is an enigma, one game he looks like Cy Young then the next like some fatty out of the stands.

Royals Claim Metcalf; Rangers Sign German
By Tim Dierkes [April 8 at 3:43pm CST]
According to MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan, the Royals claimed third baseman Travis Metcalf off waivers from the Rangers today. The Rangers signed infielder Esteban German, formerly of the Cubs and Royals, to replace Metcalf.

Metcalf, 26, has a career line of .249/.300/.475 in 242 plate appearances. He has not had success in a couple of Triple A stints. Back in their '06 Handbook, Baseball America said Metcalf profiled as "as average hitter with potentially above-average power." They considered him a "solid defender" at the time. Bob Dutton of the Kansas City Star notes that Metcalf starred at the University of Kansas back in the day.

German, 31, hit .245/.303/.338 in 242 plate appearances last year, spending time at multiple positions. He played for the Rangers back in '05 before he was traded to the Royals for Fabio Castro.

Whats you guys take on this?

The padres catcher Henry Blanco has huge flame tattoos on both of his arms, and hes not wearing sleeves.

It just feels wrong.

I think he should cover them up during games.

I think the Cubs made a mistake of letting Blanco go.

[Coach]

Oh, and UP, thought you'd enjoy this.

http://i40.tinypic.com/2znu8ic.gif

[Hootie]

I think the Cubs made a mistake of letting Blanco go.

Well Koyie Hill is god awful TAKE A LAP, that's for sure.

However, Blanco was making 2 or 3 million and when you have a guy like Soto, you don't really need a Blanco for every 5th day. Koyie, though he can't hit a lick, plays solid defense and has great pop time to 2nd base.

[Ultra Peanut]

I think the Cubs made a mistake of letting Blanco go.Lou's got a lefty fetish. In addition to money, that's part of the reason why DeRosa and Blanco got shipped out. Your payroll is $134 million, is it really that important to pay Aaron FUCKING Miles $2 million FUCKING dollars instead of DeRosa's deserved $5 million because he's a switch (terrible) hitter?

And the catcher thing was fucking bullshit, too, because Blanco and Bako both had basically the same fucking stats against righties. Only Blanco isn't an abomination in the eyes of the Lord.

I'm fine with Koyie, though.

[Ultra Peanut]

Oh, and UP, thought you'd enjoy this.

http://i40.tinypic.com/2znu8ic.gifAwesome.

[MIAdragon]

Can I has some runs please?

[MIAdragon]

Ugh Ortiz is cooked.....

[kcxiv]

My boy Kershaw has the potential to be a damned good pitcher.

[Buck]

Yeah, Billingsley did good last night too.

Kershaw is pitching right now right?

[kcxiv]

Yeah, Kershaw is pitching right now. 2nd inning 0-0

[DaKCMan AP]

Rays 6 outs away from taking the series in Boston. :)

Rays 6 outs away from taking the series in Boston. :)

Success!

[Ultra Peanut]

Will Ohman gets spanked. Shocking.

[Buck]

Even a leadoff triple to start the 9th with only a one run lead can't stop Heath Bell.

BEAT L.A., BEAT L.A., BEAT L.A.

http://kaybee.mlblogs.com/heath%20win.jpg

[eazyb81]

Rangers are getting stomped today - losing 14-1 right now.

[Buck]

Going to my first game tonight since Opening Day 2008.

Definitely the Longest I've ever gone w/out attending a game, since I first attended one as a child.

[Ultra Peanut]

I'm fine with Koyie, though.I'm VERY fine with Koyie Hill, in fact! Way to go, stumpy!

[Nzoner]

Cubs take the lead,Theriot has been on fire to start the season.

[Ultra Peanut]

Milton Bradley: Man or Machine?

[Buck]

Milton Bradley: Man or Machine?

Theres nary a machine that breaks down as often as Milton Bradley.

[Ultra Peanut]

... yeah.

[Ultra Peanut]

FUCK YOU AARON MILES

[Ultra Peanut]

Ryan Theriot, you fucking tard.

[Nzoner]

Well this weekend is off to a great start

[Ultra Peanut]

I think the saddest thing about the MLBEI free preview ending in a couple of days is that I won't be able to listen to Vin Scully on a nightly basis anymore.

[Hootie]

My fantasy teams are off to rocky starts...I think in my roto league my team batted 3/31 yesterday with a run and an RBI...that is hard to do.

[MIAdragon]

Ugh my Sox are mailing this one in as well.....

[MIAdragon]

Brad Penny making his first start for the Sox.

Man Penny's almost Ponson fat.

At what point are Cubs fans going to learn that when your team is on defense, you're not supposed to try and interfere on foul balls.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Beautiful catch by RF Johnson. Took away a slam.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Just love those defensive gems. Stole a grand slam.

[WilliamTheIrish]

And Reid Johnson gets one in the back from Julio after making that catch. Although I can' really believe it was intentional.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Just love those defensive gems. Stole a grand slam.

From the starting 1b on my fantasy team.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Aw, you fantasy players...

[WilliamTheIrish]

Craig Counsell can still play ball. Backhanded a shot by Soriano at 3b and riflled a throw to 1b to get Soriano by 2 steps.

Nice play.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Boy, Marmol can bring it fo sho.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Cubs bring in Gregg to close it with a 4 run lead and he gets 2 quick outs, then gives up a solo bomb to Weeks. Then Fukindumme misplays a laser shot line drive into a 2b. 8-5 sCrUBS with 2 out in the 9th...

[WilliamTheIrish]

Gregg gives up a BB and brings Fielder to the plate as the tying run.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Greggs pitche sequence to Fielder

Vicious slider 0-1

slider low 1-1

fastball fouled away 1-2

fastball fouled away 1-2.

Fastball threw it by him.

"CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN!"

[banyon]

Heh at this fantasy note:

Nick Swisher went 1-for-3 with a homer and also pitched a scoreless inning in a blowout loss to the Rays on Monday night.

Yes, you read that right. After watching his pitchers allow 15 runs over the first seven innings, Joe Girardi moved Swisher from first base to the pitcher's mound in the eighth. Ironically, Swisher was the only Yankee pitcher who did not allow a run in the game. He won't likely pitch again, but can definitely earn more playing time with the way he's hitting.

[Buck]

Padres, 6-2, Believe it.

[kcxiv]

Love it, my Dodgers beat the living crap out of the Giants. 11-1 Bills had a great game 6 ip. 11K's and 1ER.

[Buck]

P.S.

Citi Field is going to be a bitch as far as Homers are concerned.

David Wright Jacked one and it ended up in the first row. He also Jacked another one and it was a routine flyball to deep center.

[Frazod]

Padres, 6-2, Believe it.

Gearing up for another early playoff exit? :)

[kcxiv]

Gearing up for another early playoff exit? :)

I dont think the Padres wil have enough offense to keep them up on top very long. The only way they get any offense is when they eventually trade Peavy which many think will happen by mid season.

[Buck]

Well if the Padres are still in contention in July then they won't trade him.

They just got a new owner.

Hes not cheap like the previous owner, who was going through a divorce and his wife got half of his estate.

CALIFORNIA BRIEFING
April 13, 2009

LOS ANGELES

Man stabbed in lot at Dodger Stadium

The Dodgers home opener against the San Francisco Giants was marred by violence Monday afternoon when a man was stabbed multiple times after getting into an argument with several men in a pickup truck, Los Angeles police said.

The stabbing was reported at 5:43 p.m. in parking lot 6 at Dodger Stadium, said Officer Karen Rayner. The man, who was not immediately identified, was taken to a hospital, where he was listed in serious condition.

Police were searching for the assailant, who left with two others in a black pickup truck, Rayner said. "Officers have a good description of the vehicle and the suspects, and we expect to make arrests," she said.

About the same time, police received a report of a man with a gun in parking lot 4. Rayner said police later determined that the man had been vandalizing cars and believe he was unarmed. He left before officers arrived. Despite scattered incidents of violence at the stadium, there have been no cases of major violence in recent years.

Complaints about unruly fans continue, and the stadium has a history of problems that critics have blamed on lax security.

In 2003, Marc Antenorcruz of West Covina was walking out of the stadium after a game when he got into an argument with a group that included Pete Marron. Marron was later convicted of shooting Antenorcruz to death. Fan misbehavior stemming from a club promotion early in the 2005 season led the Dodgers to hire uniformed L.A. police officers to patrol the stands.

I like Khalil Greene. Even though he looks like a girl.

Wait until he is batting .200 in mid June, has 2 home runs and 13 RBI's

Oh, and he cant hit the outside slider, as you will soon learn.

Whenever he has 2 strikes on him, expect the outside slider, and expect a K.

Good luck.

I feel bad for everyone who drafted Mets hitters, and pretty good for everyone who drafted their pitchers...

Holy shit that park is built for Johan Santana...it's friggin' HUGE.

Adrian Gonzalez just crushed a MAMMOTH shot and it cleared the fence by about a foot...

That is the very definition of a pitcher's park.

Wow, I did not know we had a MLB Mega Thread going.

This is a fine idea.

Ian Kinsler just hit for the cycle. Dude is 5-5...sick. TX up 15-4 on Balt. in the bottom of the 6h.

He just hit a double. Now 6-6. Crazy.

He was on an MVP pace last year. Looks like that wasn't a fluke.

Scared for the Royals to be at TX on Friday...

[kcxiv]

DAMN Kershaw is ****ing the giants UP

He was on it, except that 0-2 pitch he threw to Molina, then the ****ing bullpen blew his 2nd straight ****ing win. Dude has like a 1.5 era through 2 games and no wins. ****ing Kuo and Bellesario. Big Bad Brox came in and shut it down though.

Once Kershaw gains better control over that curveball watch the fuck out. He throws around 90-93, but he can fire it 97 if need be. lol

[kcxiv]

He just hit a double. Now 6-6. Crazy.

I seen that on MLB network (that station owns) and he's pretty damned good.

btw, you never told me if you watch the games on mlbtv or not?

Kershaw and Bills are going to be a good tandom for years to come. I just hope McDonald can fit in there. I hear he's supposed to be really good, but i havent seen him pitch much.

Yeah, but right now, since they are playing SF. I am watching the live feed from up north over here. Its Miller and Krukow, but its in HD. I will be watching MLBTV soon as the SF series is over.

Hate.

I finally fixed my pitching staff, though.

I just can't believe how much of a disaster this team has been through the first few weeks...it looks so pretty on paper.

[kcxiv]

I figured...I knew he had to be an oldtimer...but for real...this dude is awesome. This takes some serious talent to call a game and keep it interesting all by yourself...he's awesome though.

Yeah, he's not a fulltimer anymore. He doesnt go on the east coast trips. I think the furthest east he goes is Denver. Still awesome to hear him. Sad day when he goes. Just like Chick Hearn.

Damn, MLB network is the greatest station ever. You get to see some of every game. lol

Ouch.

Angels' Guerrero to miss at least a month

From Sun news services
April 18, 2009
Los Angeles Angels outfielder Vladimir Guerrero has a torn pectoral muscle and will miss at least a month.

Manager Mike Scioscia said Guerrero would be reevaluated in a month but expressed optimism for his recovery and said he can heal without surgery.

Guerrero, an eight-time All-Star, is batting .250 with one home run and three RBIs.

[Hootie]

my chiefsplanet team is epic fail

Its Fox and its BS.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Son to Dad: "Can we get some popcorn and a dog, Dad"?

Dad To Son: "In a minute son. Albert Pujols is in the batter's box".

I'm doing my laundry and realized when the announcers announced AP at the plate, I stopped everything to watch him. Not many players have ever caused me to do that. Griffey, Brett, Reggie. Maybe Kirby Puckett.

And Albert Pujols.

[WilliamTheIrish]

I like the umpire in this game. Strike zone is pretty wide. Keeps pitchers working quickly and batters on their toes.

Of course LaRussa has yet to make his presence felt. That fucker slows a game to the point you'd think Superman was reversing the rotation of the earth.

I hate that fuckface.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Dempster's pitching well. Moving the ball around and changing speeds. Has a nice change too.

As I say that Duncan hits a screamer to RF for a hard out.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Great baseball/Bud commercial. Love seeing the Bob Gibson in uniform. What a stud.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Couls somebody tell Grace to stfu?

[Hootie]

Haha, Ray Allen just whiffed on a Dunk.

Hootie, whats up with all the good games being blacked out on MLB.tv today?
I was kind of watching Santana pitch...but mostly I was just watching the Bulls rule! They won despite the fact the referees were doing their best to give the game to Boston.

Derrick fuckin' Rose!

['Hamas' Jenkins]

That Bulls/Celtics game was awesome.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

God, Rick is so lost at the dish right now.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Cum Dempster is just trying to get him to chase.

[Hootie]

I hate the Yankees with all of my heart...

but Girardi should be fired if Chen Mien Wang sees one more start this year...

He is god fucking awful.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

You mean a sinkerballer who can't get his sinker to sink would be in trouble?

Yeah, gotta agree with you there.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

You can't blame Dempster for throwing nothing but outside sliders there. It's the least likely pitch for Joles to drive out of the park.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Luddy!!

[Hootie]

Fuck my god damn life!

My fantasy team is just god awful.

Trade Damon for Joba = FAIL

Dempster...

Like...it's a roto team...and my team ERA is over 6...it's amazing...Lincecum over Santana (genius)...

This has been my worst fantasy baseball start of all time and it makes me very sad.

(I never take pitchers first, either...I got god damned fucked in the ass drafting 9 out of 10 and 11 out of 12 and only having value with Santana and Lincecum - my two first round picks this year)

[Hootie]

Lincecum, Meche, Dempster, Chamberlain, Harden looks pretty good on paper, no?

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Cum Dempster looks like he's trying to pass a Ford Pinto through his colon.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

My fantasy team is hitting below .200 for the year. Think about that.

Fucking Chris Davis, Carlos Lee, Soto, Prince Fielder, Aviles can all choke on a dick.

[Hootie]

If someone told you today that Chen Mien Wang would manage to higher his 28+ ERA, would you believe it?

['Hamas' Jenkins]

I'm just glad I started Shin Soo Choo.

[L.A. Chieffan]

If someone told you today that Chen Mien Wang would manage to higher his 28+ ERA, would you believe it?

whenever i hear chen mien wang i hink of caddyshack:

I think this place is restricted WANG, so don't tell 'em your Jewish, okay?

[Hootie]

I did a test draft on ESPN in the live draft lobby before my $$$ roto draft...I did about 5 rounds then let ESPN autopick the rest because it was going to be a dead team...

Looked the other day and go figure, that's my 1 first place team...

[Hootie]

Bonifacio is my fantasy sleeper!
FAIL.

Hate life.

[Hootie]

I also drafted Vlad/Ortiz/Posada/and Hideki Matsui...all on the same team (and ManRam)...I no longer consider myself a fantasy guru...I'm officially god awful and I need to take a lap.

[Hootie]

I did manage to trade Bonisuckio and Fernando Rodney for Derrek Lee...so at least I won that one (I think). It's nice to find cheap saves on the wire and turn them into value.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Bonaficio couldn't even stay hot as long as Chris Shelton.

[Hootie]

I knew it was a bad sign when he led off the game the other day with a double, got praised, and then struck out 5 times in a row...that's never good for a never was leadoff man.

Anyways, back to the Yankees...can't get out of the top half...14 runs in...dude that just got called up (Clagett) served up back to back shots to some dude I've never heard of and Sizemore.

[Hootie]

sweet! I've gotten to watch both of Khalil GD Green's HR's this season! Yay.

ManRam, on both of my teams, is 2-2 today with 2 HR's...too bad the Dodgers are terrible and no one was on base either time.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Asdribble Cabrera...

SPICOLI!!

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Wang's ERA: 34.50
Claggett's ERA: 81.00

They need to bring in their stopper, Nick Swisher.

[WilliamTheIrish]

HA! A 14 spot for Indians in the 2nd? Out-fucking-standing.

[Hootie]

think this is what the Mets envisioned...

Santana 7 IP 7 K's 0 R
Putz 1 IP 2 K's 0 R
K-Rod 1 IP 2 K's 0 R

?

[tk13]

Yeah that's a nice 14 spot the Yanks gave up there. Phil Dawson's 2-2 on extra points.

[kcxiv]

This day for sports has been pretty good so far. celtics lose. Yankee's giving up 15 runs in the 2nd inning. Manny hitting 2 home runs so far. damn it.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

I wonder if Lincecum can bench 135.

[kcxiv]

I wonder if Lincecum can bench 135.

lol, He's a skinny dude, but he's got some massive forearms. I seen him on MLB network lastnight. His little skinny ass has to have some kind of muscle to throw as hard as he does.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

lol, He's a skinny dude, but he's got some massive forearms. I seen him on MLB network lastnight. His little skinny ass has to have some kind of muscle to throw as hard as he does.

He can do it all with flexibility and leverage. Kind of like Pedro.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

"Who was the human blowtorch who started that game for the Yankees?"

ROFL ROFL...line of the year.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Too funny.

[WilliamTheIrish]

"Who was the human blowtorch who started that game for the Yankees?"

ROFL ROFL...line of the year.

The only bigger fire ever started was done by Mrs. O'leary's cow.

[Hootie]

lincecum is making me happy right now (and I am a sad penguin)

[Hootie]

yesterday meche washed out the shitty chamberlain performance (even though I have GD Mike Gonzalez on my team who is terrible)...and today hopefully Lincecum will wash out the shitty Dempster performance...and maybe by June my team ERA will be under 5!

['Hamas' Jenkins]

I hope the Indians call up Matt LaPorta soon. He is just fisting AAA pitching right now, has an 1100+ OPS.

Ludwick is good at baseball.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Damn, Ludwick is a hittin mo fo.

[Hootie]

not sure I understand why Ludwick and Huff went in the 10th-12th round in FLB and Markakis went in the 2nd or 3rd...makes little sense to me.

[eazyb81]

Timmay with 8 K and 0 BB through 4.

Looks like old Linc is back!

Also Billz is tearing it up for me today. Good day so far.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Can't miss the CO man..

['Hamas' Jenkins]

I bet Kyle Lohse sees more ass than a rental car.

[Hootie]

I hate putting a pizza in an oven, having it spill to the bottom, and then setting the fire alarm off...I'm an idiot and everyone hates me.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Big AB here...

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Totinos?

[WilliamTheIrish]

Bonehead play by Lee.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

dammit.

[Hootie]

Totinos?

Jacks.

[Hootie]

Bonehead play by Lee.

Meh. I'll take it.

Fukodome has had some great at bats this year...hopefully he doesn't fizzle out like he did last year.

[Hootie]

if you guys want to feel any better about your favorite team(s)...take a look at the Giants lineup...you could probably find a AAA lineup better than that.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Speaking of the Giants, what the fuck happened to Barry Zito? I've always had a hard time getting my head around that one.

[Hootie]

Hudson, Mulder, Zito...Meh, at least Zito can stay healthy I guess. He is god awful though...he changed his friggin' motion.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Meh. I'll take it.

Fukodome has had some great at bats this year...hopefully he doesn't fizzle out like he did last year.

Gotta give Ramirez a chance to drive you in.

[WilliamTheIrish]

16-2. heh-heh..

[WilliamTheIrish]

Almost a web gem. That was a fine play.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Miles 2 out rbi..

[WilliamTheIrish]

McClelland won't be able to go home again (Hazelwood) after this performance.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Neal Cotts is awesome.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Cotts arrives from the Cubs pen to try to save the game... for the Cards. Two 4 pitch walks and Lou hooks him.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Lou wasn't real happy. I'll bet Cotts ends up with one of his kidneys for sale on Phillipine E-bay.

[Marcellus]

Ankiel is in a monster slump.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Dad, can I have cotton candy?

Not now son, Albert's at the plate.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Ankiel is a fucking disaster right now.

[Marcellus]

I would take a walk and let Luddy hit here.

[WilliamTheIrish]

OUCH!

[Marcellus]

Ouch! Damn that had to hurt.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

I think Oquendo just died.

[Marcellus]

Damn that was weak and El Hombre is slowwwwwww.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Marmol v. Ludwick, round 2.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Marmol got off the mound in nice fashion there.

[Marcellus]

Shit.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

dammit.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Cotts gets to keep his kidneys. Some kid just died in the PI.

[WilliamTheIrish]

I see Motte has a little Al Hrabosky in him. LMAO

[WilliamTheIrish]

Cleveland - 20 NYY-2 In the 5th.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Motte kind of reminds of Charlie Kerfeld of the Astros in the 80's.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

w00t.

[eazyb81]

13 K and 0 BB for Lincecum through 8......LOL

['Hamas' Jenkins]

13 strikeouts and 98 pitches over 8 innings. That is ridiculous dominance.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

All these 2 out hits remind me of the 2002 LCS against the Giants.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Great bare handed grab by Thurston. I love seeing those plays.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Those are two of the nicest/toughest plays to make in the game. The barehand grab by the 3b while charging towad the plate and the SS in mid left grabbing the pop up with his back to the plate.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Brian Barden is an unbelievable defensive 3B. I can't get over how good his D is. Really, with the exception of a terrible LF and a huge ? at 2B, the Cards are a great defensive team.

[Marcellus]

Only terrible in LF when Duncan is in there but at least he his hitting the ball right now. Or walking.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Chris Duncan is so fucking stupid. God what an idiot.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Does Duncan play baseball?

[Marcellus]

That was Fucking stupid.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

I just can't his special brand of dumbassery. His bat against righties is just not worth it.

And Perez is just Perezing it up. :shake:

['Hamas' Jenkins]

That pitch he just called a strike was a ball the last 3 times he threw it.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Sparkling defensive play again.

[Marcellus]

Miles with a chance to put it to us.

[Marcellus]

How often you see a pitcher listed a switch hitter?

['Hamas' Jenkins]

I do not want to put Perez in a situation where a walk ends the game.

[Marcellus]

Oh boy.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Just throw him three fastballs down the pipe. Don't get cute with this dipshit.

[Marcellus]

I do not want to put Perez in a situation where a walk ends the game.

He just doesn't have it when called up. He is AAAA.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Do not throw the slider here. Just throw the fastball.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

*Takes a bow*

[Marcellus]

Whew. Oh shit. I think this ends with a walk off HR. It just doesn't seem to be going STL's way.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

My streak for the Cash is at 6. I'm stunned.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

You are an idiot Brennaman. Brett Wallace is the future at 3rd, not Freese. Please, do some research.

P.S. Love you Wainwrizzy.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

I hate when guys lay the bat on their shoulders in that situation. It seems like they always K after that.
