hahaha Velez is THE MAN. He's hilarious, he's clutch but he might have the lowest IQ of any player on the roster, it's hilarious he's a knucklehead. They call him a utility man but he's the opposite of a true utility guy who can play several positions decently or well, he can't play one position decent so he plays a lot of them poorly. Still, he's probably my favorite position player outside of the panda.
Melky being fucking horrible at the game of baseball sometimes depresses me and sometimes amuses me. For fuck's sake can you not even get a bunt down?
hahahaahahahahahah
That was comically bad on every single level. That has to be 2 errors on one fly ball.
Well that's probably it. At least we didn't get swept. And now my fucking space bar is being a little b i t c h. A little Melky.
what happened? I missed it, just saw they added two runs.
sandoval's killed us today
Pablo hit a homer probably further then McCann. Then Huff flied out, Diaz wrestled with it in the skies and had it ding off his glove. Then he stumbled on his own feet trying to pick up the ball and Huff advanced to third before Diaz could recover. It was pretty funny all with 1 out but then DeRosa grounded out.
Anyone watching this Mets/St Louis game on right now :o 0-0 going into the 17th inning.Stands are near empty,using every single player on bench and just waiting for coaches to wink at each other and 'lob' a game ender over the plate.
Saw the highlights and also Ubaldo Jiminez had a no-hitter. Good for him too even though he is a Rocky I've always said that he has the best 'stuff' in the league but he's always lacked the control. Obviously that's a bad opinion to have in the Bay Area but it's my honest one. I don't think he is close to as good of a pitcher then the top in baseball but he has the best tools to work with.
He's a bad ass but the Braves are not a team that you go wow someone no hit THEM?
I'm thinking about starting a website devoted to just slamming Nate McClouth and Melky Cabrera. Like the old fireronzook.com. Hatred and rage is all I feel towards them. The haha how bad do they suck days are gone. Their's no more humor there.
But we won today on a walk off two run single from Heyward so we won the series. That's 3 out of 4 series wins for us so far, just San Fran on the road being the only loss and losing 2 out of 3 at San Fran isn't horrible. So even though I feel like I've done nothing but bitch all year were doing ok.
Today was bad,but it would have stung a lot more later in the year. The fact that we can play a game like that this early in the year shows we have a better team. Barry Zito is back and he is clearly going to be a top 10 pitcher in the league this year. He got hit solidly 3 or 4 times during the whole game, he was sharp, he has perfected his new motion and is dominating teams. Today was a statement game for him, following Lincecum with the series decider. They brought in Romo after Zito endured a 30 minute half inning on the bench and walked the first hitter. Bochy is being slammed right now for not letting Zito pitch to Ramirez. Romo is our guy, and he's struck out Ramirez both times he faced him in similar big time situation. He had him down in the count and just left a slider a little to high and Ramirez just happens to be the only guy in the world with the confidence to look slider in that spot.
It's kind of been the week of lefty's in the division with Sanchez, Zito, Kershaw (who I hate to admit, I'm completely sold on him as being a top pitcher in he league), Zito and of course Jiminez with the no hitter.
I was so delusional coming into this year. I knew McClouth was a triple A player but I didn't even think he was THIS shitty. I thought Melky would be a somewhat solid player at least and I thought Troy Glaus could turn out to be a great bargain and they're both just fucking awful. I thought Chipper Jones could possibly have a comeback year and in reality he's just an old fuck that needs to retire. Brian McCann is just not as good as people make him out to be. We have four hitters, Prado, Heyward, McCann, and Yunel Escobar (who's sucked so far but I assume he'll turn it around.) We suck so horrifically bad. It just shows how awful the NL is that were 7-5 going into tonight. Starting pitching and the bullpen are good. Prado's the man. Heyward is also the man. Yunel and McCann are good. The rest is nauseating. We don't even steal bases.
Oh well. Wait till next year. Hopefully Bobby, Chipper, and Glaus will all be retired. I fucking hate baseball.
NL > AL believe it.
Red Sox catching situation is horrific, the Rangers have stole 9 bases in 5 innings!!!!!!!
HEYWARD! HOLY SHIT! LEGEND!
And Glaus actually hit a bomb too. Unbelievable. Just a nightmare of a game till the bottom of the ninth, 3-0 Phils and now were going to extra innings ahahaha.
ahahaha Nate McClouth (NATE MCCLOUTH!) hits a walk off in the first at bat in the bottom of the tenth. Incredible game. I love baseball.
Heyward is just fucking money. With runners in scoring position: 9 for 12, 2 HR, 13 RBI, 4 BB, 2 2B .813 OBP, 1.417 SLG
I have Ryan Madson on my fantasy team >:mad
McClouth really isn't a bad player, he's a great fielder.
He's been fucking brutal this year. And wasn't very good last year. That's why I'm down on him. Yunel Escobar's been crap this year but I know he can hit.
I'd say he's a good fielder but that's a bit nitpicking.
All I want is .250-.260, 15 HR's, 15 Steals, not asking the world of him. Maybe this will break him out of the slump.
Do you have MLB Network? By far the best sports channel on TV it completely shits on the NFL Network and the NBA Network, which can't seem to show anything but the same exact episodes of All Access With Ahmad Rashad over and over and over again. In the MLB Network commercial they say The Melk-man Cometh To Hotlanta ;D
The Sox aren't doing well at all this year:mad:
Now Shane Victorino is a great center fielder. Dude just kills us, outside of Ryan Howard he's killed us the most and its mostly with his glove, he just seems to make at least one great play against us every game, its uncanny. He just robbed a home run from Troy Glaus which is just totally unfair cause when you hit a home run against Roy Halladay it should be a home run. Its only 3rd inning and I'm seriously thinking we may get shut out now.
Silver lining, Glaus seems to be getting it together.
Ron Sutcliffe going on about us trading Javy Vazquez for Melky and some prospects, well why would you do that, it just doesn't make sense, he was their best pitcher, it doesn't make sense, etc. ,etc.
Why do you think we made that trade man? Seriously? You're on ESPN, think a little.
My God we suck. Its just depressing. We CANNOT HIT THE BALL. Its so depressing.
I'm usually all about prospects but the hell with it, break the bank, give the Padres whatever they want for Gonzalez. Not gonna happen but its nice to think about. Otherwise its wait till next year.
Holy fuck, at this point I would trade Yunel Escobar for 300 dollars. He's a fucking moron, a lazy careless fucking moron.
7 losses in a row :shakehead:
Braves Win! Braves Win!
:shakehead: I guess it had to happen at some point.
Ubaldo the best pitcher MY ASS. I know this guy has the best 'stuff', I've said that for a minute now. Great April but this guy isn't close to Lincecum's or Halladay's caliber. Lincecum is fucking unreal, this camera angle they show in Florida really proves it. M-V-P.
Zito, a fucking OG.
Heyward just hit another absolute bomb. Hitting .280/.406/1.028 with 8 HR's and 24 RBI's, projected for a full season its 52 and 155.
Just got his first intentional walk of his career. Pussies.
Seen more of Halladay than usual this year, obviously with him in the NL East. His stuff isn't as eye popping as Lincecum's or Ubaldo's but his control is absurdly good. Best control of anyone I've seen easily.
What a bizarre season so far. The Braves looked utterly pathetic for the first month and now are leading the division by 2.5 games. 2.5 fucking games.
If Martin Prado doesn't make the All-Star team I'll do something I guess. I'll be angry, I may lash out at people on this forum.
It was good that we've won like 8 games in a row as we are now starting an 11 game West Coast road trip starting with 4 at LA tonight. Very interesting series, if anyone is as hot as us its the Dodgers.
Baseball is a fantastic sport. Looking totally incompetent through 7 innings, down 2-0 and we beat the Dodgers 9-3. 2 out of 3 so far and looking for 3 out of 4 tomorrow.
The Braves are good :o
Ubaldo's been highly touted for awhile. His numbers are just sick. He's the best pitcher at the moment.Quote:

Plus Kershaw's not an easy guy when you've never faced him before.
We've got Hudson going today who's been lights out, 3 out of 4 in LA would be nice :)
A win by Hudson actually wouldn't bother me to much considering he's on my fantasy team. I had a feeling he was gonna be in for a good year. He's warrior. He was a great pick up in the 11th roundQuote:

Heyward shouldn't really be on it. He was awesome for a while but he got this nagging thumb problem and had a horrible June and is now on the DL.
No Billy Wagner and Troy Glaus. Glaus I guess I'm okay with cause Joey Votto didn't even make it. Martin Prado is starting at 2b, thank God for Chase Utley's injury, it would have been embarrassing to have him starting over the MVP of the entire league.
Yadier Molina starting shows how moronic a lot of these fans are. Good to see Ethier get voted inQuote:

They should of just gave it to Pudge. He's pretty much a part timer now, but his average is good. Infante obviously black mailed someone into making itQuote:

Now were up 5 on the Mets and 6 on the Phillies.
Fuck you, fuck you, and fuck you.
Ric Flair, what do you think?
