May 1 Gameday
Astros (Wandy Rodriguez 2.53 21/9) @ Brewers (Tomo Ohka 3.72 15/11)
Ohka has done a good job preventing a shitload of runs scoring from those walks, and Rodriguez is playing out of his mind right now. With these two offenses and overachieving pitchers, look for some crooked numbers on the scoreboard tonight. Unless rodriguez takes part in this whole immigrants don't work thing and they pitch pettitte instead. Then we'll just get destroyed.

Anyway, Ohka's gonna give me a fuckin heart attack. I've said that since opening day. you can't walk two batters and get out of it every time. How does he keep doing it? Maybe that think on his arm is a computer chip . . .
Hell yeah, Turnbow! What the eff is Lee doing out there??? I was very happy to see that circus didn't rattle Turnbow. I just turned on the game when Miller was batting in the 8th. Time to go back and watch the rest of it.
Carlos lee had his thumb thoroughly planted up his asshole there, thankfully Turnbow bailed us out with the two big Ks.
All in, this was a pretty impressive performance against a good team and a great pitcher. Way to go Crew
Oh man, FJM does it again. When asked on baseball tonight which single player they would choose to build their team around, and here were the responses:
John Kruk: Pujols
Steve Phillips: Pujols
The Bub: Pujols
Little Suzie, the five year old down the street: Pujols
Jeff Brantley: JOHNATHON PAPELBON
What the fuck! I think Brantley should be fired immediately. You can't be a professional baseball analyst and possibly believe that Johnathon papelbon is the one player in the major leagues that you want to build your team around. I dont even know that he's the one player on the Boston Red Sox that i'd want to build my team around. I'd take ortiz and probably beckett and ramirez before papelbon.
That's an interesting question. Here's a quick list of players i'd build a team around before Johnathon Papelbon. No thought involved, i'm just gonna start naming players til i get tired.
ortiz
beckett
manny
David Wright
Miguel Cabrera
Pujols
A-rod
Teixeira
peavey
sheets
vlad
ryan howard
chase utley
hafner
jason bay
carpenter
oswalt
chad tracy (yep)
prince fielder
justin verlander
jeremy hermida
grady sizemore
ok, i'm starting to reach, i'll stop. again, no research, just players i'd rather start my team with than Johnathon Papelbon
you ledt out the 2006 nl cy young winner and grammy winner bronson arroyo.
5-0, 2.06 era and leading the reds to the best record in the nl.
18-8! i am gonna savor this while it lasts.
dave williams takes the hill tomorrow, so the reds will surely lose. although ponson is going for the cards. if the reds pound out 4 homers they still have an excellent shot to win.
how about rich aurilia? that guy is unconscious when they plug him in that 3rd spot in the lineup in front of dunner.
did anyone catch on baseball tonight last night when they said dunn's teammates call him "the big donkey?" i bet they are doing that to make fun of carlos lee's nickname. if so, i love it even more.
eeeeeeh oooooorrrrr!
The brewers are at a net positive .123 ops on the year.
Nice work Bub. I was going to make that point about OPS, too.
I was watching that Baseball Tonight and just knew the second Brantley said that in such a positive, assured tone that he was going to get in on FJM. If I had thought anyone would be interested, I would have rushed on here to make mention of what Brantcliffe said. I honestly cannot believe the stuff that comes out of his, Steve Phillips, Rick Brantcliffe, and all the other idiots' mouths on that show. We absolutely must make more of an effort on this blog to point out BT's shortcomings.
Also, I simply CANNOT believe that Willis - Lee & Prior trade got through the vetoing process. Good work Bub. Congrats.
what exactly is "the vetoing process?"
some of us who don't make up the rules of this league would appreciate some insight on what exactly they are at some point.
it's pretty easy to sneak something by when you don't inform everyone else what rules you're playing by. this league is poorly run in all aspects.
fix this shit immediately.
by the way, my reds won AGAIN, and now have a solid command on the division before series against colorado and arizona. if they keep winning like this it might cancel out any forseeable collapse and still leave my boys in contention later in the season.
viva la donkey!
