Someone tell me why baseball and softball are getting kicked out of the Olympics yet trampoline is allowed. Trampoline?? That’s not a sport, that’s something you do in your backyard.

I was watching it this afternoon and the announcer mentioned that a certain girl was “the most decorated modern trampolinist.” Modern trampolinist?! As opposed to, you know, all those ancient trampolinists?

Jeremy Sowers v. The Los Angeles Angels Of Anaheim. Yup.

No big deal. If things go south early, we can always cue up “Sweet Georgia Brown” and go to the bullpen in, like, the third inning.

Hoo boy. Maybe we should just get there early and sit at the bar.

It’s not possible that it’s as bad as it looked. But sure, he might a bust——or rather a bust that at least reached the major leagues. Not all busts make it so far.

But to answer your question, a Shoppach K followed by a Garko DP ball seems like a reasonable possibility.

by Denver Tribe Fan on Aug 16, 2008 6:12 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

creative way is a GB to Teixera, tags 3rd for the 1st out, gets the runner going home, then gets one of the guys on base hung up between two bags for an unorthodox triple play

It has now come to my attention that Andy Marte will not be the starting third baseman for this team next year.

by hans on Aug 16, 2008 6:17 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

We all know who’s going to be our starting 3B next year. He has a lot of grit, a beard, and currently wears Dodger blue.

Wedge gave up after his ploy of batting for Marte didn’t work.

by palcal on Aug 16, 2008 6:20 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Marte still has 40 games to show what he can do. No need for his fans to get distraught.

by palcal on Aug 16, 2008 6:23 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

40 games x 1.5 AB/game (before being pinch hit for) isn’t much chance. I’m not even a huge Marte believer. I just want to see what he can do. We’ll never know.

Does Eric Wedge really have to love 0 Ks from Carmona? Do any front line starters ever go 6 without a K?

history might tell you that he’s likely not the only frontline starter to ever go six innings and now have a strikeout. That he got 16 groundballs to 5 flyballs is pretty impressive, and don’t think that it was luck

by hans on Aug 16, 2008 6:33 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I actually do think we are going to win this game. Strange…

He was needed at the dominoes game. See above.

What the fuck. Subbing Marte for another righty. This makes me so frustrated.

by joeee on Aug 16, 2008 6:33 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yes, but it wasn’t any old righty, it was Jamey Carroll.

by SuddenSam on Aug 16, 2008 6:50 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Wedge went to his big gun off the bench.

I think I officially just gave up on Marte. It’s not happening with the Indians.

by joeee on Aug 16, 2008 6:36 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

And I just officially gave up on Wedge.

The worst part of it is that we are going to throw resources into 3B that could be used in one of the many other areas of need.

Did anyone see the clip earlier of Fasano on the bench with the toothpick in his mouth? That was the highlight of this game for me.
