you give up that many baserunners, and sooner or later someone makes you pay . . . . 5-4 detroit heading into the 5th.

It is just a 1 run

lead. They can get that one back. Galaragga isn’t exactly pitching a gem.

and it's 4-0 cubs...

maybe it’ll rain in Chicago!

Get a couple runs and then we can play bullpen games to guarantee a series win.

Lohse vs Detroit isn’t SSS, it’s pretty obvious they’re owning him.

I just had a nauseating thought...

is Parisi going to be used in this game if Lohse comes out after this half inning?

if it were me

I’d put a rotation of Perez, Springer, KMac and Franklin/Izzy in depending on how the innings go (could stretch a couple of those) and still be ok.

be nice

to have a lead going into the bottom of the 5th. it’s getting pretty soggy. doubt they’d call it, but you never know with the teams in town tomorrow.

Remember he hit a double off the monster in extra innings

and then was thrown out at the plate by Drew on a single by Kennedy

ok, switching to the Cubs game...

hoping for an Orioles rally!

by jdubya on Jun 25, 2008 8:44 PM EDT   0 recs

don't count on it.

Their starting pitcher was scratched because he has the flu. Then their fill-in lasted only 5 batters and he left with an injury. They look sloopy tonight… no energy.

As I say that Jay Payton hits a 2 run bomb

Both

to be honest. Followed Kazmir since the draft, but actually paying attention now that there’s some good times. That and they’re built a lot like us, and that helps

So, when the Mang comes back

Surely they can no longer have any excuses for keeping Duncan on this team, right? I mean, he got regular playing time, against Right Handed pitching, and he failed miserably. He serves absolutely no purpose on this team.

Just watched the replay of Guillen's HR

He murdered that ball

really fat pitch though

lohse seems to be having a bit of trouble with what looks to be a pretty tight strike zone

by sportsman on Jun 25, 2008 8:51 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I'm not absolving Lohse of the blame

But Guillen did not miss that ball, that much is true

Gullien had seen pretty much nothing but those fastballs all three at bats, and they had no movement. Only a matter of time and Lohse just kept chucking them in there.

Couple of at bats before though, Lohse got squeezed pretty bad that resulted in a walk, if he were to get those calls, could be a different ballgame.

I really doubt were going to see Lohse

heroics today…......If its over a 30min he is gone, and probably feeling luck.

by westcoastbirdwatcher on Jun 25, 2008 8:50 PM EDT   0 recs

probably

best if he doesn’t come back. he looked frustrated with the ball and strike calls and was laboring.

fyi—try nws for best radar and up to the minute forecasts from their “spotters” who help them keep up with changing conditions at a level radar cannot. if you live in a thunderstorm area, might give it a look.

Orioles love to let the Cubs load the bases

Why couldn’t we get the Orioles instead of the damn Tigers AGAIN?
