Game 15: Gamethread #2

why do we switch

during the game like this?

Floyd for President

by e-gus on Apr 17, 2008 8:03 PM CDT 0 recs

because with the re-loading, etc. it's a pain for people using blackberrys and iphones, etc.

too many posts

bogs down people’s PDA’s, iphones, etc.

Thorton as LOOGY?

I don’t think that is exactly necessary at this point is it?

dotel, linebrink, jenks

Me neither...

I hope Dotel is crisp

Just posted on other side

I think its an excellent move taking Gavin out right now if with the low pitch count.

sorry even with...

Ozzie may be the big key to his success this year.

by Tdogg on Apr 17, 2008 8:06 PM CDT up 0 recs

Plus he stands to get the win

which he deserves

by swishit on Apr 17, 2008 8:07 PM CDT up 0 recs

Speaking of "just posted on other side."

Gotta say, Tdogg, you are THE MAN so far this season.

You were one of very few voices of rational reason during ST.

This is why they play the games, huh?

Well way to early to be taking bows

But even with the negatives there were some positives that offered hope. There are no absolutes. Deep down Im sure many of the half empty folks hope they were hopelessly wrong.

by Tdogg on Apr 17, 2008 8:17 PM CDT up 0 recs

was that ozzie or coop?

not trying to make any points, just asking

by The Wizard on Apr 17, 2008 8:16 PM CDT up 0 recs

I put my money on Ozzie

I think he makes it a point to try and build the confidence of his starters.

Good percentage move....

Jones (in his brief cup of coffee)...has hit left handed pitching well but not righties.

Two requests for the peanut gallery. I’m watching The Office right now, so can one of you write a recap?

And two, I’ve got a request from the D-Rays blogger - I’m still calling them the D-Rays dammit - to exchange questions.. I can answer his questions, but how about some questions for him?Two requests for the peanut gallery. I’m watching The Office right now, so can one of you write a recap?

Well, I'm going to the game Sunday, so here goes:

1. When are you guys going to start letting in fans younger than 70? (OK, can that one.)
2. Should Crawford hit 1st or 3rd?
3. Who excites you most of your SP’s – Kaz, Shields, or Jackson?

I took the "under".

by winningugly on Apr 17, 2008 8:16 PM CDT up 0 recs

"start letting in fans younger than 70? "

For free?

Do you think you live in Illinois?

No - they comprise the whole damn crowd

I mean allow PAYING customers in under 70.

questions:

1. how’s the sound system?
2. will the live rays eat food thrown in their tank?
3. something baseball-related

Can you write a recap if you dont see the whole game?

Don't want to jinx,

yet it sure looks like whomever comes in from the pen is lights out lately.

And with Johnny D and G-Flo turning it around I nominate Coop for President.

(Wait – BB by Dotel?)

I took the "under".

I am not a believer in Dotel yet

Pretty unacceptable work here from Dotel....

Payton gets a hit fine….but that walk was ridiculous..

That's a circa 1996 Greg Maddux strike

That's a circa a few days ago Huston Street strike

Why take Thornton out?

He’s hardly pitched at all yet.

by defensive indifference on Apr 17, 2008 8:17 PM CDT 0 recs

He and the Booner have traded roles

Thornton is now the LOOGY, Booner is the one-inning guy

your decision to drink in moderation does nothing for this board.

when you made your earlier rest stop joke today re: wu and SoB,

i remembered a comment SoB made before about a sandwich…SoB and larry were peanut butter and chocolate, and wu was the bread. and here SoB is the one worried about hitting the head at wrigley.
