Looks like Alfred E Nueman…. “Who Me?”

Go cliffie!

You have no idea the physical toll that three vasectomies have on a person

i have no idea how Lee is doing this, and i don’t care.

Dammit, Shoppach.

Despite all of my best intentions, I have not, in fact, grown up to be a debaser.

How are there more people around for this game than the first? Don’t you guys have to go to bed out on the east coast?

I was planning on going to bed at 11, but I can’t stop watching this.

We are refreshed by the power of Cliff Lee?

it’s a pleasure getting up for work at 9

Not as pleasurable as your only obligation for the day being at swim practice by 11.

28 K’s by April 24th.

Would be a good inning to score.

Where’s your stat for that, Statboy?

I can’t stop thinking about Cliff Lee.

Come on, Marte. Give us some love here.

would a homer get him some PT?

The Disabled List just called ... it was trying to unload Joe Borowski. I offered a bagel but balked at giving up a ham sandwich. It wanted to keep Westbrook.

it screamed for more playing time

2nd pitch as well

by fleerdon on Apr 24, 2008 11:41 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Nobody knows, the KC feed lost their ability to switch cameras so we all got to pretend we had third base line seats for a couple of innings.

Was unaware that LGT was back. I’d been dwelling on no LGT.

He hits the ball in the air.

They puts it in the basket.

Or they gets the hose.

Well, he gets the ball out of the infield at a much higher rate than Blake, that’s for sure.

Right now, I'll take .500 and run. I'm a cheap happy.

Hey, the guy who is stealing Ben Fran’s spot is still underperforming. Big shocker.

by Toxicadam on Apr 24, 2008 11:42 PM EDT   0 recs

But he has grit! And a ‘veteran presence’.

NBR (No Borowski Run): Refers to that run which puts the Indians up by 4 over an opponent, thereby drastically reducing the chances of Joe Borowski pitching in a game.

by crazymoloh on Apr 24, 2008 11:43 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

really?

Marte is our fourth outfielder?

by Jay on Apr 24, 2008 11:44 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Yea, because most teams carry a backup 3rd baseman.

by Toxicadam on Apr 25, 2008 11:18 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Most teams do carry two backup infielders. Blake is in fact the classic fourth bench guy.

the official scorer has something to say for Bannister’s stat-i-ness.

That dude hates to give fielders errors or something.

by mjschaefer on Apr 24, 2008 11:44 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

He might have to think more about BABIP in the offseason

by SanD on Apr 24, 2008 11:44 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I would ponder here why exactly Bannister’s mediocre stuff is bewildering us, but then again, Cliff Lee has a 0.3-something ERA. The world is a strange place.

Despite all of my best intentions, I have not, in fact, grown up to be a debaser.

by zempf on Apr 24, 2008 11:43 PM EDT   0 recs

Bannister’s pitching like it’s his MLB debut.

by SuddenSam on Apr 24, 2008 11:44 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

we’re certainly hitting him as if he’d just been called up

by aufrank on Apr 24, 2008 11:45 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

or like he’s the reigning #3 vote-getter for ROY

by westbrook on Apr 24, 2008 11:47 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I wouldn’t call Bannister’s stuff mediocre. He has great control and mixes his pitches like a magician. He’s like Byrd with more velocity.

by Toxicadam on Apr 24, 2008 11:44 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Or better dentists.

by Julie on Apr 24, 2008 11:45 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Wow, nice work on that one Julie.

At this rate, I may get to bed by 12:30.

Blake lets Dellucci turn that one into a triple.

(Probably too dry, this was meant as an ironically drastic exaggeration.)

Plain and simple. I would rather WATCH Marte than Blake on a daily basis! Give me what I want!

Listening to Marvin Gaye and watching a pitching duel is the most relaxing thing ever.

by mjschaefer on Apr 24, 2008 11:49 PM EDT   0 recs

Pitching duels do not relax me. They reveal my inner spaz. Okay, my not-so-inner spaz.

by Julie on Apr 24, 2008 11:49 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I love pitching duels. So much more than blowouts. Though I know what you mean.

I like the 10-8 games. Like Game 1, though I missed nearly all of that one.
