2008 Running Baseball Thread, Part the Ninth

[Chi City 81]

What's the over/under on how many running baseball threads we'll have by the end of the season?

* Jose Guillen is obvioulsy not included. Soria deserves the benefit of the doubt. But unfortunately, this team has been so blowfully ****ing bad that the kid has had to be perfect. He was, till today.

I also have newfound respect for A-Rod. To do what he does is stupendous. To do it with Sterling and Waldeman hanging from his scrotum deserves a network special. If there is any righteousness in this world, Waldeman, Sterling and Hawk Harrelson will spend eternity in a sound-proof booth so they can annoy the **** out of each other and leave the rest of us in peace.

Jose Guillen will have a fistfight with a teammate this season.
Bank it.

How about DeJesus hitting the homer off Rivera? I think that's his first this year that Mo's given up.

Touche. DeJesus as well. Aviles proves he needs more playing time. Dude is about to catch Pena in hits, and he's only played in three games.

In full disclosure, I found another XM channel after Sterling started to ejaculate after the Posada homer. It was kinda like any porno you've ever seen... I knew how it was going to end.

From the last thread on the Yankees' bullpen:

I know. It sucks.

They either need to make a trade for a strong middle or long reliever or bring someone up now. Not sure if anyone in the farm system is ready for the jump, but something has to be done.

Francisco Cruceta is available.

 

[buckweaver]

Chipper with No. 401, ties the game at 2-2 in the 6th. Just crushed it to dead center.

Bring him in (or up).

Anything has to be better than what they're calling a bullpen right now.

Two words...John Wetteland.
He's not even as old as Clemens was when they snagged him last year.
It's probably doubtful he could physically pitch again, but with the Yankees you really never know.

 

[Rumpleforeskin]

Great piece of hitting by Utley in the 8th inning.

 

[Flying Headbutt]

So anyone know what Ponson did in Texas to **** that up?

He'll fit in perfectly with the Yankees bullpen.

Career 7.96 ERA

This year, 0-3 with a 5.40 ERA, 1.97 WHIP and a .295 batting average against.
10 walks, 11 strikeouts in 11 innings.

 

[KYSportsWriter]

Maybe not then.

 

[D-Backs Hack]

With his bullpen burned up, Fredi Gonzalez brings in Badenhop, tomorrow's scheduled starting pitcher, in to pitch to Brandon Phillips in the eighth.

 

[Armchair_QB]

So anyone know what Ponson did in Texas to **** that up?

Story in the DMN is that the final straw was that he refused to pitch on an extra day's rest in order to keep Kevin Millwood on his regular turn in the rotation.

 

[Rumpleforeskin]

Jimmy Rollins tacked on a two-run dinger in the ninth to ice the game for the Phillies. Good total effort out of them tonight. Pat Burrell continues to surprise me how well he hits the low ball.

Finishing on the grille. You got it. Sterling sucks ass.

Got drunk in hotel bar and had to be removed (see Rangers.com and the Dallas area papers).
Lost it on the manager and pitching coach when they adjusted rotation and gave him extra day.

See ya, Sid.

And, uh, I don't enjoy this because as I said yesterday I'm in the Braves corner. But where are the pen defenders now?

 

[casty33]

So spnited, my buddy, what do you think of Pedro Feliciano now? I think I'd rather have Scott Schoeneweis in the game. He just walks or hits people, he doesn't give up bombs to the likes of Scott Hairston.

 

[ondeadline]

Chipper Jones is out two games (at least) with a muscle tear.
