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.

Right. Creative would be a triple play here.

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

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

Travis Hafner is overrated. Clarity is underrated. David Dellucci is David Dellucci.

Who was that guy wearing Betancourt’s uniform who pitched that inning?

K-Rod? Jensen? Fausto?

moral victory for Carmona

by palcal on Aug 16, 2008 6:28 PM EDT reply actions  

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

Fausto Carmona just did.

And history tells me that is more lucky than encouraging.

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 up reply actions  

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

by APV on Aug 16, 2008 6:30 PM EDT reply actions  

Just got here. Whats the story with Marte getting pinch-hit after 2 abs???

by joeee on Aug 16, 2008 6:31 PM EDT reply actions  

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 up reply actions  

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

by SuddenSam on Aug 16, 2008 6:50 PM EDT up reply actions  

Wedge went to his big gun off the bench.

by SuddenSam on Aug 16, 2008 6:32 PM EDT up reply actions  

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 up reply actions  

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.

It will be more satisfying to stick K-Rod with a blown save.

by Jeffrey R on Aug 16, 2008 6:34 PM EDT reply actions  

i remember the good old days when we would regularly stick it to Troy Percival

by APV on Aug 16, 2008 6:35 PM EDT up reply actions  

Hey, yeah. I never understood it, but it sure was nice.

Angels have lost 4 times when leading after 8, but the Indians have won only onece when trailing after 8.

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.

Apparently Garko can only hit HRs off K-Rod.

Well, that’s a game they deserved to lose. Four errors… bases loaded with no out in the seventh, and fail to score… Not a good outing.
