June 16: Bartolo Colon Devours the Entire City of Philadelphia...With Cheese

[ORS]

Tito must be reading my posts, so just to make me wrong, he gave Timlin the suck sign. Unfortunately, Timlin thinks every sign is the suck sign.

[Thumper]

Oh dear... 8-2 on a s*** miss by Ellsbury.

 

Timlin = Eric Gagne but older.

[yeszir]

I knew Timlin could do it!

[Youk Of The Nation]

8-2...I think I'll go have sex and pretend it's with Mike Timlin's wife.

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

This has to be it for Mike Timlin.

 

The front office can't let this continue. You love to give Mike Timlin time to see if he can come around but when is it enough?

[Jayhawk Bill]

Timlin = Eric Gagne but older.

 

Unfair. Eric Gagne has talent but chokes in save situations. Mike Timlin pitches at a reliable Single-A level in any situation, regardless of the inherent stress.

 

See? Timlin just walked Burrell--it was as if he were the leadoff hitter, not just another batter in a blowout game.

I've been a Timlin apologist for awhile but i think he's done

"Seems like a little too late for this move, doesn't it?": Remy

 

 

Um...ya think?

 

 

I'm out, sorry about my s***** mojo.

[Thumper]

Oh NOW Tito wants to pull Timlin out.

 

Yes NOW after four runs have scored blowing a good chance to really for a possible 5-4 win. Yes, Tito, you are a f***ing genius for putting Timlin in on a game we're down by only two runs.

Have Ami yell, "I love your balls!"

I was there about a week ago. He's done, gone, toast, finished, out, no more, left the building, gone with the wind.

 

You get the point. I'd say the FO better find a deal for him, maybe a prospect or two? Maybe 10 bats? Or just out right release him and cut the losses.

She does already!

 

Well, not really, that would be weird. I suppose I could just make her wear a Red Sox hat.

[Youk Of The Nation]

But I guess I have to wait until she gets home. It would have been nice if I had noticed she left.

[BoSox21]

if anything, its a sad decline considering what he's meant for the organization for many years now, being an integral part of two championships and a calming, veteran influence in the bullpen. the man still deserves respect

Agreed. Its tough watching him struggle so much.

Agreed. Especially last year he was a very good pitcher, very good for relief and set up. And I don't hate him, never could. I just think it's his time to finish before he embarasses himself anymore.

Offer him an instructional position to finish out the year under his current contract if you want to be respectful. DO NOT continue to waste a roster space on a guy who is consistently awful in order to respect him when there are alternatives who are a safe bet to do better.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Alright, I'm definitely out now. Have a good night, Red Sox fans.

Goin' to meet Mrs. Timlin?

[Jayhawk Bill]

I find myself wondering if the game thread has frozen...

 

Base hit Moss...two-out double!

And that's it.

 

Ballgame.

 

I blame the loss mostly on Timlin for s***ing a close trail.

[Jayhawk Bill]

Meh...we faced a good starting pitcher backed up by excellent relief--we had to be better.

 

I'd've liked Timlin to be better, but I didn't and don't fault Tito for using him. In hindsight, the four runs by Colon were enough to seal the loss.

 

Hey, who's starting tomorrow's game thread? We need some fresh mojo...

I'll take it, I seem to have a good enough game thread record to give us a win.
