better
but it sucks knowing that your team is so much better then your record says.

wow. I didn't realize you all had such a good July.
We have a frustrating team as well, though in different ways. It feels like it’s been a year of one step forward, one step back.
Is Jon Jay the new Willie McGee?
yeah i understand
we were over 10 games under at the end of june, which is telling. we’ve been playing like.600 ball all year, except for one month.
heres something. we went 5-25 in june. if you put that JUST at .500, were ahead of the Braves and in the drivers seat. ridiculous isnt it?

Must be pretty tough being in a division with the Phillies and Braves, though
I think they might be the best two teams in the NL on paper. Not quite as bad as the ALE but not far off. You’d still be well in the playoff hunt in the NLC.

used to be a starter
but the Marlins converted him to a reliever at the start of last year, where he became an effective Set-up man. He started in that role this year as well, but got injured for a good amount of time. He came back a couple weeks ago and was put in the rotation out of necessity.
hes very average. he’ll go 5-6 innings most of the time.

Al seems to think it was time for Colby to go, and that anyone who isn’t “close to the Cardinals” just don’t know enough to think otherwise.
Good to know that I’m apparently an ignorant idiot who just doesn’t pay enough attention to the team I’ve pulled for since I was a 12 year old emigrant to St. Louis.
I doubt Al has any fucking clue who the other teams in baseball added at the deadline.

Time to throw at a Marlin.
That’s 2 players this inning hit above the letters. I don’t care if you don’t have control right now, keep it down or away.

he’s around the plate, but the hitters aren’t in physical danger.

Got to be a culture thing, in the Korean Baseball League, after a pitcher plunks a batter, he’ll generally tip is hat and do a half bow to the batter, I’ve only seen one guy take a few steps out of the batters box toward the mound, the ump intervened most promptly, but the benches still emptied. The batters here just take it, and lot of times will hardly move out of the way just to get on base.

he’s annoying most of the time, but I more just feel bad b/c I’m pretty sure he’s a little slow. Mike on the other hand is a freaking riot, especially after the 6th inning.
