Pitching matchup

Two former White Sox. Brandon “made of glass” McCarthy vs. Jon “cockroach above chin” Garland.

Three things

1. Been watching the track on Gustav, and the greater NOLA area is probably in big trouble if this thing goes crazy like we’ve seen happen before. If it stays on a westerly track it’ll eventually impact DFW, and could make things interesting in Houston long before that.

2. Best wishes to LSB’s and BTiA’s own Jason Parks, who is tying the knot on Labor Day.

3. Brandon McCarthy. Hell yeah.

There’s no way they can tell where its going right now. It nudged southwest in the last couple of hours. That’s crazy.

So what are the potential impacts for DFW just torrential rain or…

Well

If it hits around houston then keeps moving north we’ll get lots of rain probably some severe weather too like tornadoes. It just depends on which way it goes after it makes landfall.

Gustav

Yeah that fucker almost ruined my Labor Day weekend. We were called to day and told to mobilize this weekend to Ft Polk, LA so we could go from there with the rescue missions. Luckily they decided to just wait here till Tuesday or Wednesday and then mobilize once we know exactly where and what damage was done.

The first inning

And this is purely from the television angle, he looked to be a much shorter stride. When he shortens his stride he ends up going on his tip toes because of his height. The 2nd inning he looked alot more balanced after he released the ball. Just my amateur opinion

Because hes 6'7"

When he lengthens his stride its releasing alot closer to the plate than a normal size persons. Probably makes it similar to a 92/93 mph fastball. Where he gets in trouble is when he shortens his stride and its only an 88 mph FB.

Just an okay outing considering all the hard hit balls (especially early in the game) but his stuff got better as the night went along. I’m pretty happy with this start.

I think Wash just keeps changing relief ptchers

until he finds one that sucks. Most nights that does not take long.

I think they meant to say

Rodriguez is the best closer in the AL West

You'd think so

But then this is the Angels we’re talking about.

They meant to say “Rodriguez is the best closer in the game at showing off”.

Why the hell was he swinging 2-0 with K Rod having control issues and Josh on deck? That was just straight up dumb!

Ugh

McCarthy deserved better than this. Based on his line….I missed the whole game.

Yeah

B-Mac gave up quite a few hard hit balls, but most of them went for outs. I was very happy with his outing, but the bullpen… my god, the bullpen.

For horrible bullpen management. Benoit looked amazing and he took him out… Just… took him out… begins tearing up

No doubt

I don’t see what Wash sees in him. He’s a decent mid-reliever, but by no means should he be pitching the 8th inning right now. Of course, our other options are Jack Benny and Mad Dog right now, but JB has pitched a lot better of late…

This is the way I see it.

We win, it’s all good. Hopefully the youngsters played well.

We lose, it’s all good. Gotta improve the draft pick so we don’t lose it in case if we sign a Type A.

It’s a win/win.

By comparison, we have 28 K’s with the bases loaded.

by laxtonto on Aug 28, 2008 11:49 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

this was written by a Giants fan in 2006....

Again, it’s stupid to have Tim Lincecum going lights out in San Jose while Jamey Wright blows another winnable game. And there’s only one song that’s appropriate to describe Wright: “You’re No Good,” written by Clint Ballard Jr. and popularized by Linda Ronstadt in 1975 —

Feelin’ better, now that we’re through
Feelin’ better ‘cause I’m over you
I’ve learned my lesson, it left a scar
But now I see how you really are

You’re no good, you’re no good, you’re no good
Baby, you’re no good
I’m gonna say it again
You’re no good, you’re no good, you’re no good
Baby, you’re no good

I broke a heart, that’s gentle and true
Well, I broke a heart over someone like you
I’ll beg his forgiveness on bended knee
I wouldn’t blame him if he said to me

You’re no good, you’re no good, you’re no good
Baby, you’re no good
I’m gonna say it again
You’re no good, you’re no good, you’re no good
Baby, you’re no good

this was at the beginning of the blog post

one could feel the deep dread as Jamey Wright walked in from the pen to put the game out of reach (even though the Giants would score 8 runs) with a stunning display of ineffectiveness — at one point, pitching the ball so wildly that it bounced in front of the plate, bounced off Todd Greene and over the screen & into the stands.
