Benoit

Now time for Benoit to come in and murder his family…..........metaphorically speaking.

So, Joaquin Benoit coming in...

Who’s got the call on the distance of Posada’s grand slam?

There’s just doubt Benoit can get us out of this

Question for Evan Grant to ask Washington

“Ron, buddy, pal… why the hell would you even THINK of bringing in Benoit in a bases-loaded situation when you still have a chance to win the game?”

no...

...you have a not completely healthy Guardado…

...i suppose Jamey, but he pitched a couple of nights in a row earlier this week…

Electrician? Madrigal? Fx2?

You really only need to get ONE BATTER out… you can use Benoit in the next inning with the bases empty.

It was so much it raised the level of the toilet by like an inch

And that was even with the valve at the bottom of the thing that lets out the water to keep it at one level.

I would love....

to lock Benoit in a room and fill it with bees…

then he will know how much it hurts to watch him pitch

by clinton33 on Jul 2, 2008 7:57 PM CDT   0 recs

i still like benoit

but hes obviously struggling so you have to use him intelligently.

5th inning or not, that was the important situation in the game not the 7th inning with nobody out or whenever you might use someone else.

tomorrow is an off day, you dont worry about rest.
