YEAHHHH Our Ace is pitching.. We got this in the bag… For you history buffs, this should be the equivalent to Germany invading northern Africa with automatic weapons pitted against spears.. Are we carrying the spears?

Yeah, the standard line is that it’s hard for any one-year contract to be too damaging. But as far as one year deals go, this is a bad one.

7 innings, 6 earned would be no further… but still bad.

I’d consider that a step in the wrong direction, even if that’s better.
Unless, of course, a couple of those ‘earned’ runs are permitted by a reliever.

Random..but on the heels of his 3000th strikeout, I’m still amazed at John Smoltz. Talk about underrated…
But 64 rookie innings in 1988 aside, has that guy EVER had a bad year? Ever?

I seem to recall him having a really terrible season five or six years ago (?) and going to the pen for a while, but the specifics escape me.

he went to the pen for a few years after having TJ surgery and missing a whole year (without looking i think the year he missed was 2000)
if he had a terrible year it was probably the year before surgery. when he was in the pen he was an insanely good RP. compare his years against gagne at the same time. smoltz the closer was sick.

He had TJ and the Braves brought him back as a closer…and he was pretty much dominate to the tune of 91.7% conversion (154/168).

If the tribe is going to stink it up this year, I’d rather them get knocked out of contention EARLY… Like 20 games back. The ulcers in my stomach would be ever so grateful to not get crowded with more from the 08 season.
Then again, maybe we need a cardboard cut-out of Larry Dolan to motivate our guys. Only we take a piece off when we lose a game instead.

Royals announcers have already displayed their idiocy. They are whining that Meche is always matched against an ace, then cite Jered Weaver and Livan Hernandez as examples. Oh, and C.C.
And this gem: “The Royals lead the league in fielding percentage, a good reason for the pitchers to throw strikes.”

Reminds me … I dragged my bride to an Expos game on our honeymoon (in 2001) and although stade olympique was a truly horrible ballpark, I had a great time. The best part was when Geoff Blum hit a home run to give the Expos the lead in the 8th and the guy behind me stands up and yells “OUI MONSIEUR!! OUI MONSIEUR!!” as the ball is leaving the yard.
best home run call ever.
