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.

I think I read in the PD that Blake has the best career numbers against Halladay, albeit just 4-11. I do hope we see Marte twice this series, though it’s four tough righties in a row.

by TribeJay on May 9, 2008 7:17 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Right, because we can really use Blake’s .238/.307/.413 line vs. RHP.

Thank you, Lyle.

Just feels that when the ball leaves his hand he’s praying he hits the strike zone. Contrast that to Cliff Lee who tells the ball where it better fucking go.

...and if it doesn’t, it’s in BIG trouble.

by TribeJay on May 9, 2008 7:27 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

He’s just not missing close to the zone, so there’s no reason to swing.

If so, marginally. That might have been an inch off the plate.

With this wildness I’m hesitant to say that CC actually meant to put it there. A strike’s a strike I guess.

by supermarioelia on May 9, 2008 7:31 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

5 K’s in 2 innings – if he gets this strike-throwing thing down, he could do much better…

by TribeJay on May 9, 2008 7:38 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I have a question for Garko. If your swing is going to end with you in that position, what if you do actually make contact? How are you going to rebalance yourself to run to first?

by supermarioelia on May 9, 2008 7:38 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Got a lot of friends who went that route. “Frustrating” sounds like a pretty accurate summary of their reactions to it. But I get the sense, it’s one of those things that if you’ve got to do it, you’re never going to be okay with something else.

I think once you get to 50,000 words it’s technically a novel, but most are longer than that, yes. I’m still trying to get to “novella.” It’s not an issue of being able to create a story that long, it’s a matter of, um, not getting bored with it before I’m done.

I think I’m a short story writer at heart.
