Alrighty. Let’s get out of this.
Despite all of my best intentions, I have not, in fact, grown up to be a debaser.

HIRE THIS THREAD
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.

why is it that i fear the guy pitching the 9th inning for the indians, regardless of name, over the last 5 years. wickman, betancourt, riske, mastny, borowski.

I’ll just blame Raffy’s suckiness on the fact that it’s the Jays. We all remember last year when he lost the game for us when Byrd pitched that gem.

The total lack of hitting is what continues to disappoint though. Yeah Betancourt sucks here but we haven’t had a baserunner since the 4th!

Yeah Marte sucks but it’s hard to defend the Wedge’s decision to pinch hit with nobody on base and 2 outs IIRC

Cliff Lee pitched 9 scoreless innings. Why aren’t I studying and smiling about our win?
by supermarioelia on May 12, 2008 9:55 PM EDT 0 recs
Ok, so Betancourt shouldn’t be giving up bunches of runs to the Jays. But when you head for extras knotted at 0-0, you’re asking for trouble.
by baergagaga on May 12, 2008 9:55 PM EDT 0 recs
Perhaps it has to due with him being wildly ineffective and that Perez was the better bet to begin with.
