Glavine is back on the DL. Here’s a question: how come nobody was heaping the same kind of shit on Glavine for thinking that he was miraculously cured of his torn flexor tendon that was being heaped on Hudson for thinking his elbow was going to miraculously heal?
Is it just me, or did Kotsay get [...]
I know, I have been in absentia lately due to drinking obligations. Here we go:
My mantra tonight watching the game: “Jo-Jo is pitching. We’ve got this one in the can.” Man, something has switched on in this youngster. It’s a bit exciting to watch. Keep it up, young Jo-Jo.
(Also, apparently badjojo is a porn site. [...]
Well, after the events of this week (Glavine rejoining the DL Army, Jurrjens stubbing his toe, Soriano declining the opportunity to be a professional baseball player, signing the mediocre Brian Lawrence and Jorge Julio, the offense stranding more men than the Titanic, the bullpen collapsing 4 out of the last 6 games), my most recent [...]
Tonight we return home after our most dismal road trip yet. Not only did we get swept by the lowly Reds, to add injury to insult, Tim Hudson and Blaine Boyer both came out of the game in the 7th yesterday with pain in their legs. No word yet on how serious their injuries are.
This [...]
Here’s the story on the elephant on the Oakland Athletic’s jersey:
After New York Giants’ manager John McGraw told reporters that Philadelphia manufacturer Benjamin Shibe, who owned the controlling interest in the new team, had a “white elephant on his hands,” [Connie] Mack defiantly adopted the white elephant as the team mascot, and presented McGraw with [...]
Today’s game? Yeah, don’t wanna talk about it. This was absolutely pathetic. So many of our one-run losses to this point were ones where we fought back to within one and just couldn’t get it done. But today, we went out of our way to blow it after leading in the top of the 12th. [...]
Just thought it was a fitting (and hopefully auspicious) coincidence that John Smoltz adorns the ticket on the day that he’s set to join the 3,000 strikeout club.
(At least for the full season plan.)
The nice thing about these early season records is that tonight we can go into the house of the division leader with a lot more confidence than if we were visiting the under .500 Mets or Phils. Things are getting pretty interesting in the bullpen, though. Interesting in the sense of the old Chinese curse. [...]
Smoltz, who is apparently not broken, is going this afternoon against John Lannan, the Nationals’ 2007 Minor League Pitcher of the Year. (Does that even mean anything?) He had a good outing against the Redbirds in his first start of the season. Quick hits for today:
Does anyone else think that maybe Hampton’s biggest problem is [...]
Finally, the Braves prove that they can also lose in a good, old-fashioned beat down. Chucky gave up 6. Is anyone surprised? Resop gave up 5. Is anyone surprised? Please tell me this means that we can finally stop hearing about 1-run games. Please?
