Yes, Let’s.

Despite my complaining in the other thread, I really am thrilled to see Omar again.

Since posting really hasn’t started, I’m just gonna throw up some pictures of Omar.

There is a picture on the wall of a bar in Cleveland I sometimes go to, and it reminds me that Omar was unbelievably jacked in the late-90s. You can kind of see it here. It makes me wonder why he didn’t hit with more power.

I’m totally feeling a sweep this series.

We don’t get Lincecum, do we?

Steel Nick

Nope. Zito tomorrow, Cain on Thursday

by Chief Wahoo on Jun 24, 2008 7:10 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

ahh – I took that as “if we sweep them, do we get to take Lincecum too?”

We’ve got a big fat guy they might like.

I think we can just pencil in Cain for 6 IP, 7 K, 1 ER and a Loss.

Steel Nick

by nickjs21 on Jun 24, 2008 7:12 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

that would be his usual line.

I’m kind of annoyed that STO was on break during the video tribute/hat tip/ovation. We’ll have to wait until probably the third inning to see Omar bat.

Poor Jensen. “I need a little Laff in my life… Seeya in the bigleagues”... and now their fortunes are inverted.

by jhon on Jun 24, 2008 7:13 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Hmm. What message could Laff send Jensen’s way?

“I need some new Je(a)ns! Seeya in the bigleagus”

Ray Durham lives. I like to check this fact out about once a year to verify it’s truth.

by afh4 on Jun 24, 2008 7:10 PM EDT   0 recs

And Randy Winn is still hitting pretty well. Go figure.

we should face this lineup 162x a year.

Girl in front of me hooked her laptop up to her parents’ DirecTV account. Genius.

Where do you go to school with such an incredible girl?

Toledo Law.

She thinks I made friends with her because I’m a nice person.

that is pretty awesome. does she know about this and like move her head out of the way?

You’re watching on someone else’s laptop in class?

Also, I just watched that doc hearts of darkness. I feel a little loopy.

Asdrubal already 1-1. Hitting .444.

by afh4 on Jun 24, 2008 7:12 PM EDT   0 recs

maybe he should get fatter.

by fleerdon on Jun 24, 2008 7:13 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

He has taken 2 walks since going down.

who cares, when you;re hitting 444 (444!) u never need to walk.

Yeah but he can’t hit .444 in the big leagues.

He needs a level between the majors and AAA to work out his problems, apparently.

by afh4 on Jun 24, 2008 7:16 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

He needs to face some pitchers that stop giving him good pitches to hit?

He also has 4 extra base hits.

If the Indians want Asdrubal Cabrera to be a shortstop, he’s going to … WAIT A SECOND HERE.

I hope Peralta hits a grand slam, by the way.

And Marte. Two grand slams tonight. Go team.

I saw the Giants play in Washington. I remember two things:

1) Lincecum is incredible. I thought for sure he’d no hit the nats.

2) Jose Castillo hit 4 of the hardest hit balls I’ve ever seen from one bat in one game, including two no-doubt home runs.

by jhon on Jun 24, 2008 7:19 PM EDT   0 recs

I don’t even know who Jose Castillo is. Screw the NL.

I was talking about Ugueth Urbina, who’s in jail in Venezuela right now. In his Expos uniform.

Is that from facebook?

by afh4 on Jun 24, 2008 7:29 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

That guy luifer, who used to post here, might be able to shed some light on this. The baseball world has forgotten Ugueth. I think he has been in jail for as long as there’s been such a thing as Facebook
