06/12 Wrecks at 2010 WS Champs, that are still in 1st, getting back Panda soon

[tzill]

only 46 pitches for Volquez after a 21 pitch first inning....FUCK this gets old....

 

[gp956]

Uh, exactly. That was the joke.

:smile:

You've heard the quip when Calvin (silent Cal) Coolidge died? "How could you tell," attributed to H. L. Mencken.

 

[tzill]

I wonder what the odds are of a leadoff HBP scoring....fuck.

You're about 60 years late:

Yeah, but the Giants seem like a team that could benefit more than any other from a guy that could maybe hit .150/.500/.150

fuck Sanchez, stop it...throw the baseball better

I had, but forgot it. Nice!

Another fun Coolidge bit:

A lady told him she'd wagered she could get him to say more than 2 words to her that evening. He replied "You lose".

Supposedly Bill Veeck (the guy who brought Eddie in) told him if he swung at a pitch, he had a sniper on the roof that would shoot him dead right then.

In this game, the leadoff freepass, has scored 25% of the time, so far.

That's right. I liked that one too.

 

[gp956]

Best pitch of the night, there.

 

[nateistheshi]

I do not like seeing Rent in that uniform.

 

[msgkings322]

It really doesn't make sense. We all see how Chez pitches with our own eyes. And then his stats say he has a really good BAA, ERA, and WS.

What the hell is going on?

 

[tzill]

Well, I was wondering when this game would fall apart...at least I don't have to wonder anymore....kinda glad I'm too sick to go tonight. Because this "pitching" effort by Chez is nauseating.

Damn...that's a pretty mean threat

 

[gp956]

...and now he's nibbling with the bases loaded.

 

[gp956]

That's my chez.

And Sanchez will make sure this game isn't a SSS

In other news, Ross makes a nice play. Now Chez will get the DP and that's how his pitching results in good stats. He'll then end up giving up just 2 runs over 5 innings.

Edit: I typed that before he got it. It was obvious he would

He was joking, of course. But Veeck was a character. The best owner ever.

I guess the good news is this should prompt Sabes into taking action about the lineup.

Nate!! Rally Time....
