Baseball 2010

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.

[OumaFan]

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 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.

[OumaFan]

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.

[amat]

NL > AL believe it.

Red Sox catching situation is horrific, the Rangers have stole 9 bases in 5 innings!!!!!!!

[OumaFan]

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.

[OumaFan]

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

[amat]

I have Ryan Madson on my fantasy team

McClouth really isn't a bad player, he's a great fielder.

[OumaFan]

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
