MLB Random Thoughts - Week 5 [4/30 - 5/6]

Actual (presumably) drunken text from Gob during the Brewers meltdown 6th tonight:

Fick Rick leeks

 

[MVPete]

Another Eric Byrnes gem:

 

[Primetime]

Text Gob back with GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBY

 

[NAHSTE]

If that is a rule, I don't like it.

 

[Rudi]

Heath Bell is fucking terrible :lol:

 

[Woy]

Lohse was due to get rocked sooner or later. We always seem to drop one against the Astros any series we play them.

Rays won last night with a lineup that was created by the Tampa Chamber of Commerce. In something that has become somewhat of a ritual, Joe Maddon had a luncheon with the Greater Tampa COC last year and allowed them to make the lineup for that evening's game. Yesterday, Maddon met with the COC and allowed them to make the lineup for last night...again. The legend of JoeMa grows...

Lineup for last night was:

jennings, lf
upton, cf
pena, 1b
joyce, rf
scott, dh
zobrist, 2b
rhymes, 3b
molina, c
srod, ss

Actual (presumably) drunken text from Gob during the Brewers meltdown 6th tonight:

Hahaha.

Travis Wood will make his first start for the Cubs tomorrow due to Matt Garza being sick. Wood is 1-3 with a 5.08 ERA for the AAA squad. Given up 35 hits in 28.1 IP :dd:

He is batting 2-8 with a HR though.

 

[Goober]

With no outs, and a runner on second, the Brewers had Corey Hart put down a sacrifice bunt.

The next hitter in the lineup? Cesar Izturis, owner of a .211 batting average. Die small ball, die.

Izturis actually came through with a deep fly ball, but that dumb fucker Ramirez thought it was a hit, and was half way home when the ball was caught. DIE IN A FUCKING FIRE GOOBY

 

[Goober]

And now the Brewers defense is going to shit/we're being babip'ed to death.

Fuck Cesar Izturis.

 

[st lickem]

he might not be able to run, but boy can chipper still hit. 5 RBI night.

 

[KnightNoles]

Gosh dang it Brandon!

 

[Slateman]

Silly Aaron Cook

 

[MVPete]

No clue what the Rays were doing tonight but they blew that game. Taxed the bullpen and Maddon tried to do too much Maddonball or w/e the hell you want to call it when they were at the plate.

 

[KnightNoles]

damnnn how'd he cut open the knee like that?

 

[ThomasTomasz]

Orioles already have two on the Red Sox, who don't look good at all, looking to bring out the brooms tomorrow

 

[NAHSTE]

Huge day of baseball today. Incredible pitching match ups abound. Three of my favorite pitchers are going this afternoon:

1. :beachy:

2. :yu:

3. TOM MILONE

And that's not nearly all. Tat Latos faces off against the Pirates, Cain faces Marcum and to top it off we've got "Coal Hammels" vs. Jordan Zimmermann in the night game.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Im leaving for Minute Maid to watch the Stros win 6 straight and sweep the Cardinals.

Its Dog Day at the Park, so hopefully my dog takes a nice healthy shit on the warning track during the dog parade after the game.

TAKE THAT ASTROS GO REDS

 

[Slateman]

damnnn how'd he cut open the knee like that?

Runner on third, pass ball. He felt the best way to block home was with his leg.
