bad teams would make a big deal out of a play like that

good teams just move on

no harm, no foul

i'd rather see ARod strike out anyway

I don't want MY to die...

But that last play was just awful. He’s having a bad night is all. He’s been pretty solid since the break, I must say.

I've never seen a pitcher with "bone spur" issues throw 96 mph. The only spurs I'm aware of are the spurs that Wash has buried in C J's ass as he rides him. I love ya C J but welcome to Wash's DOGHOUSE.

Heh

Unfortunately, I don’t think infield practice is going to increase his range – and it definitely won’t make his insane contract any cheaper.

Maybe die was a bit harsh though – how about retire?

That's what happens when local teams play on ESPN...

I know, we never have it happen since we’re never on there. But local stations like FSN, YES, etc trump ESPN during the midweek games, they only get the exclusive for the Sunday Night game and Fox gets teh Sat afternoon one.

but this is a prototypical loss, especially when we are making stupid mistakes
