8-4 GDT2 - the "God the offense sucks" thread

This sucks.

Gracchus (about Obama): I think he knows what America is. America is the mob. Conjure money for them and they'll be distracted. Take away their freedom and still they'll roar. The beating heart of America is not the paper of the Constitution, it's the power of the media. He'll bring them debt - and they will love him for it.

Tonight it’s like last year’s pitching/defense with this year’s offense. I want to choke someone. Violently.

Not enough distance to make it to first base, aimed halfway between the base and home plate

I mean, I guess it did have that nice rainbow arc to it…

he had to make a good solid throw to get the out

he threw it as if he was throwing to his 99 year old grandfather.. like that commercial.

of course he was going sideways but it sucked anyway.

He had time to stop, plant, and fire

but went for the sportscenter across the body throw. And failed

He makes an OK throw and the guy is safe, that's one thing

not a hard on for him ass hole

just don’t think he is getting a fair shake here, all because that fucking retard manager is batting him leadoff, it isn’t his fault, and that wasn’t a bad play, he was sprinting almost behind 1st base, and attempted a really hard throw

by blueballlefty on Aug 4, 2009 11:39 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

that is not a hard throw and he had plenty of time

he also effed up the double play in the 3rd inning that also cost a run. That is 3 runs he has cost us in this game, let alone his sucking in the leadoff spot. is that enough to be hard on him
