Also, Dan and other mods: When I tried to go to the previous game thread Google Chrome gave me some sort of safety warning. That has never happened at VEB so I’m guessing it’s some weird fluke but thought somebody should know.
Well, it was just the standard Chrome security page I think
It’s a red background with some warnings about how the following site could be a security threat, etc etc. and it gives you the option to go back or acknowledge the risk and proceed. I figured a new thread was gonna be up soon anyway, so I just went back. There wasn’t really any specific information and obviously I didn’t view the thread, so I have no idea if anything bad actually happened. Wish I could tell you more but this kind of warning by Chrome is pretty vague.
I'm using Iron and it's really cool so far

no community, I guess….what I don’t get is that they seem to just shrug their shoulders and blame it on the nature of the Interwebs, instead of doing something about it. What they could do, I dunno—probably no room in the budget to hire some mods—but still.

It's a matter of time before Milwaukee's rotation comes back to earth...
Not one of those guys is really very impressive at all.
That's true...
but Suppan, Parra, Looper, and Bush are pretty questionable…despite what they did to our anemic offense.
fair enough
I just don’t agree that the Brewers’ rotation is awful….maybe they’ll regress by the end of the season, I dunno.
they regress
after the all star break every year, unless they make a huge move at the trade deadline, which most likely won’t happen this year if they regress too much

Let him face the tying run! Agree with Evilfrog though, he shouldn’t be in long enough to be in position for the loss.
But I’m still holding out for an 87 pitch shutout.

was Albert thinking 2 off the bat
or did he take a base cause Sori took too long getting the ball back to the infield?

I'm not a Pineiro fan...
as my previous sig showed. But on occasion, he’s been lights out. (why they gave him that big contract). Whereas I can’t remember Wellemeyer ever doing that…
i think Pineiro is a good starter
I think he can eat up innings, have some good outings (tonight is a few standard deviations out there), and we could do a lot worse at the back half of the rotation

ok so i finally get to catch the game in the 9th
and I’m pretty sure I was seeing things. Did that really just happen? CG SO for Joel? craziness
Pujols was -.076
that doesn’t happen too often.
Rasmus top batter @ .118, BRyan 2nd @ .095.
I thought the Soriano pickoff was huge, does that get counted in WPA?
against the batter and for the pitcher I think
"People call me El Hombre," Pujols said. "But only Stan is the Man."
take that back
It was against soriano…

Rasmus doesn't hit lefties. Instead he bashes them over the head with their own bleeding arm he just raced to the mound to rip off before the ball arrives to the plate. He then smashes that baseball with the pithcers bloody arm over the wall because he does not hit lefites he bashes them.
