he was pissed off because of a bad start

and a reporter asked him some thing along the line of what he could do to fix his problems, and that was his answer.

considering who his manager is, it’s pretty freaking funny.

he should have a sinker registered

if not, that suggests gameday either misidentifies it as a curve or fastball, or Thompson is throwing it so poorly that it isn’t acting like a sinker.

I thought Wagner was not doing well

from all the crap said about the Mets this year. But his performance stats are at his averages – WHIP .94, K/9 > 10.

The only thing bad is that he has 5 blown saves this year, which is as many as last year, but it seems this is purely a function of the Mets having many more 1-run leads.

no I’m saying against Wag I would have rather seen Luddy, Ryan then Shu. 98 mph and Barton doesn’t mix well, Shu can drive the heat.

Can anybody explain why Gameday has video of every single scoring play, but

will fail to pick up all sorts of interesting bits that don’t result in runs. Like, there will be no footage of the double that SETS UP the run, but footage of the sac fly that drives it in. Or, I kid you not, runs being walked in. Who wants to watch that? The experience of seeing someone jog past home is just not interesting.

My fault we lost tonight

I went to the game, i’m 0-10 this year. I’m not going to anymore games.

Oh, and for those who watched the game

where did Sanchez get hit? I couldn’t tell from where I was sitting, it looked like it might have been off his family jewels

pretty sure

he got hit in or near the calf.

I have a love/hate relationship with the Cardinals' middle relief corps.

switching from the Reds' game to the Cubs'

I noticed again something I have often before. WGN has to program with the loudest crowd noise of any network, national or local. The difference is more apparent when you switch back and forth. And it’s not just in Chicago. Do they think loud crowd noise makes the game more enjoyable?

By the way, Edmonds just grounded out 3-unassisted.

It is loud

espcially at home or any road game against a poor team and there’s a ton of cub fans. Makes the people back home get excited or something. The worst part is after home game wins when they sing that godforsaken song that nobody actually knows the words to except the chorus.

I haven't noticed it

I live in CHicagoland and watch quite a few games. It’s certainly not louder than ESPN.

they definatley have their hands full on sunday as well

the Cards need to win the next two games against the Pond Scum and I think they’ll pick up at least 1 game.
