Aren't the Nats sorta clutch in games like this?

I mean, sure, they blew the HUUUUUGE lead. But they’ve had a lot of walk-off wins this year, if i recall

It’s cool. Late day at the office, eh?

Goddamn it

That was a wacky fucking game. I kinda wish I wasn’t a fan of either team in a game like that…

He's one of those guys...

that just looks like an a$$hole.

by svengali on Jun 5, 2008 10:21 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Um...

Not related to his looks. He has a history of domestic violence.

by effin fisk on Jun 5, 2008 10:23 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I know.

That was the point of the comment.

so true, it’s funny!

atleast at the end of the night, the cardinals don’t beat women.

can we please make Perez the closer now?

maybe you do

I can get by just fine without them.
I would prefer a kick in the nuts

Is this his first year in the big leagues?

Yeah, I thought so, Franklin will stay closer, Perez will continue to have limited duty regardless of how both perform. KTHXBYE

Franklin had to pitch in 2 save situations abuot 6 horus apart on the same day.

I don’t know of any pitchers who have their best stuff in that situation.

by effin fisk on Jun 5, 2008 10:24 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

even when he isnt he likes making it interesting

at least Perez is wild enough that he doesnt throw crap down the middle of the plate

* sarcasm might be involved in this comment

by mattyfrommo on Jun 5, 2008 10:25 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

So...

you’d rather we walk in the tying run?

Unless we keep other pitchers in the game or bring in a starter, there’s no one who can act as a true “closer” in that role today. No one with lights out command or velocity.

by effin fisk on Jun 5, 2008 10:27 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I have been nothing but impressed with Perez

so yeah, give him a chance. He is the closer of the future. And the future is now
