5/25 @ Tampa Bay (The Real GT)

[a700hitter]

Who pissed in the Geritol' date=' or was it Midol, today? JFC, they are winning the game.[/quote']It's always a crap shoot taking the ball from your horse and giving it to 3 relievers. You don't even trust Papelbon, but you want me to feel good about 3 guys?

[Wasatch]

Glad to not see Roger Ramjet not in the game now, or the rest of.

[Palodios]

Papelbon's ERA is 3.15. Lester's ERA is 3.15. I don't see the problem.

[a700hitter]

I'll take a 2 run lead with 3 innings from our rested pen over 8+ innings from an ace with a 2 run deficit.

Was there an either or choice involved? No.

 

Do you think the Tampa dugout is thrilled that Lester is out of the game?

[a700hitter]

Nice inning by MDC.

It's not just the relievers, you are bitching about everything, but then again, it's a calendar day ending in -ay, so that was to be expected.

[italstallianion]

Do you guys know why Crawford left the game?

kicked by ump

[a700hitter]

Beltre. He lives here in Dominican' date=' so he'd probably give me cases upon cases of Presidente. How could i say no to such an enticing prospect? [/quote']I'd have to rip that life saver out of your hands. Always save the better offensive player... always.

[Palodios]

Drew also makes more money, so there is probably a better reward.

[a700hitter]

nope

You clearly know nothing about hitting.

[redsoxrules]

Who am I bitching about.. *******?

 

you're bitching about the pen having to pitch 3 innings

[a700hitter]

you're bitching about the pen having to pitch 3 innings

Right..., but other than that?

[ORS]

Who am I bitching about.. *******?

Name calling, nice.

[redsoxrules]

You clearly know nothing about hitting.

 

so... you'd rather face Bard and Paplebon than Lester ? if you were a hitter ?

[a700hitter]

Name calling' date=' nice.[/quote']You said that I am bitching about things other than going to the pen for 3 innings. You are being an *******, because I am not bitching about anything.

[italstallianion]

kicked by ump

 

 

 

Phew, thank god he wasn't injured.

[Palodios]

Weren't you criticizing Beltre earlier?

[Dipre]

Calm down, people, we're winning the game!

Beltre?

 

3 posts in the thread during the game not spent discussing the s*** you stir up. 1 positive, 2 bitching...therefore you are 66.7% bitch.

 

I feel I'm justified.

so... you'd rather face Bard and Paplebon than Lester ? if you were a hitter ?

As a hitter, you know that Lester is close to unhittable tonight. You never know what a guy is going to bring to the mound from the bullpen (unless it is Mariano), and you really don't know what 3 guys are going to bring. Lineups grind out ABs to get a pitcher like Lester out of the game and get to the pen, but I guess you have missed that strategy session.

[TedWilliams101]

Bard and Papelbon is pretty much as good as it gets for a setup/closer duo. Nothing to be pissed or concerned about.

 

Shouldn't you be happy that Lester pitched 6 shutout innings and we have a 2 run lead off a pitcher who has been lights out tonight?

[a700hitter]

Beltre?

Dipre and I have been teasing each other for days, if not longer, about Beltre/ Bay. Do you need footnotes with explanations?

[Palodios]

Cameron!

[Dipre]

Nice play by Cameron the "worthless signing".

[a700hitter]

Calm down' date=' people, we're winning the game![/quote']Exactly. We are having some fun and the others get all worked up.

[TedWilliams101]

Yes, I think we would all like you to include footnotes.

[a700hitter]

Not worthless. Pointless. There's a difference.
