Sure there is. But he is a spiteful God.

Burn on, big river, burn on...

yuk. I hate when Grady doesn’t play. Not even as DH??

With Shoppach out too, you could argue our 2 best hitters are on the bench. Peralta would be the only one with an argument.

by DaytonDogg on Aug 6, 2008 12:09 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah without Lee pitching and Sizemore out (and none of the “new” guys called up yet), it’s hard to find a compelling reason to watch these games.

Mr. Perfect Through Five is pitching, so we get 9 innings to their 4.

by FredOx on Aug 6, 2008 12:19 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

omg why no Grady? Is he hurting? This game doesn’t seem to be worth watching. We’re just giving up.

Castrovince sez

Wedge wanted to get Grady Sizemore, who is 2-for-17 on this road trip, two consecutive days off (with Thursday’s off day). “He’s had a lot to handle this year, mentally,” Wedge said. “It’s important to give him a mental break, as much as anything. But believe me, he doesn’t want an off day.”

Where are you Michael Aubrey

Cliff Lee is doing the “wiffle ball game in your backyard” promotion this year. I wonder if he will give a kid a death stare if he goes yard on Cliff.

by Toxicadam on Aug 6, 2008 12:20 PM EDT   0 recs

If I went yard on him I’d mock him by tipping my cap towards him as I rounded first base.

by ASP on Aug 6, 2008 12:21 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I’m home for lunch, waiting for the game to start and I flip on Comedy Central where there is a Steven Wright special on. Can I just mention how, in watching this, I really now want Steven Wright (the SP) to succeed. It could make game threads even better.

Yep, sad lineup, sad game..sad season.

Man. Usually love me some day games, but this lineup is definitely a bit of a downer.

Despite all of my best intentions, I have not, in fact, grown up to be a debaser.

yuk, i just realized who our 1B was today.

Question: Why does Wedge have framed photos of different managers hung on the wall in his office? I saw one of Ozzie Guillen and another with the Royals guy, but there were at least, like, 10 in there. WTF is that about?

by obobcatu on Aug 6, 2008 12:37 PM EDT   0 recs

At least they aren’t action figures.

by Toxicadam on Aug 6, 2008 12:43 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I’d prefer action figures. Specifically, one of Ozzie with either a towel around his neck or signaling to bring Jenks in from the dugout during his first year as closer.

Leyland with 3 smokes in his mouth.

The possibilities are endless.

You know Selig? Ombudsman.

I like my slow-pitch softball team’s lineup better than this one.

by ASP on Aug 6, 2008 12:41 PM EDT   0 recs

I bet Sal Fasano is a hell of a slow pitch softball player.

by DaytonDogg on Aug 6, 2008 12:43 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

He seems like the guy that always has the cooler in the back of his car ready for the impromptu post-game tailgating party.

For some reason I have a feeling this shit lineup is going to put up a dozen runs today. Stranger things have happened.

I don’t need Gameday. Ever since Sal Fasano tried to kill me as a child, he and I have a psychic connection. It left me with a scar shaped like a mustache.

For those of you keeping score at home, 3 runs is more than enough for Kazmir.

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

by westbrook on Aug 6, 2008 1:06 PM EDT   0 recs

Kazmir has given up 3 runs or more in 6 of his 17 starts, and probably would have made it 7 last time out but he was pulled in the 5th. The bigger problem is that I’m amazed this lineup even scored one.

by FredOx on Aug 6, 2008 1:09 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

well yea, if he was pitching against the Yankees, I wouldn’t have said that.
