Jjjsixsix is awesome. Jennifer is also awesome.
This is:
1 — recommended bleachers attire when Giese is pitching, and/or
2 — the money you could be saving with Gieseco, after it got mugged by that fence-building yokel (w/ apologies to Frank Rizzo)

Ray: Giese has “pinpoint control”.
8BB in 12IP.
He actually is very good at limiting BBs for his career. Not HRs.
sigh. speaking of which…
yeah, that happened as I was writing the comment.
I guarantee you Fosse has no idea one way or the other, and defaulted to the “pinpoint control” cliche because he didn’t know what else to say about a guy with Giese’s, uh, limited repertoire.
On a related note, I feel a Dibs/HDTV comboriff coming on.
Hey umpire, it’s not fair when you make bad calls with Dan fucking Giese pitching.
You know, I kinda like this guy, HRs and all.
Feldman: career 5.09 ERA.
A’s vs. Feldman: .204/.328/.350 in 100+ pas.
Off topic: Marco Scutaro 26 BB/15K in 29 games…wtf???
not to mention his power numbers
maybe he really did just need a chance to be more than a super-sub
so if the A’s were to face Zach Greinke around now, what would the chances of a perfect game be?
Comment about the Royals—->post updated.
Oh, geez. One of these days I’ll come here and the picture up top will be of the Kaufmann Stadium fountains.
Also, random tidbit: my keychain has a little thing with the Kansas City skyline on it. For easy identification purposes if I ever lose it.
And speaking of, with the stadium renovations you can now walk in front of the OF fountains.
runs! and two!
uhm. reply fail.
The fountain seats aren’t in front of the fountains, are they?
“fountain seats“?
When the fountain seats are “out of order”, they’re bidet to bidet.
urinal kinds of trouble now
My favorite things about Kauffman:
1. They. Bring. The. Beer. To. You!
2. frozen custard
3. The crazy guy who does the lawn mower races.
4. It’s easy to get to.
5. They. Bring. The. Beer. To. You!
He! Could! Drink! All! The! Beer!
Holliday always takes that pitch when it is a)in the strike zone; and b) a 2-strike count.
SIGH. Why does that kind of thing always happen to us? Next thing we know, they’ll be some catcher’s interference to get a guy on, a stolen base, a wild pitch, and a balk to score the guy.
Looked to me like they would have gotten Buck at first.
I can’t see and Vince was more interested in talking about Cust getting hit. Is the Buck hit embedded in the rules, or is it a scoring decision?
not sure.
By rule I’m pretty sure.
Two players have a higher OPS than the Rangers counterpart in their position in the lineup. One of them is Bobby Crosby.
heretic
Not for long
Yep. So much for Crosby’s glory. All that’s left is Jack Cust. And he’s only got a .030 advantage. How can players with career .900 ML OPSs, .900 MiL OPSs refuse to hit for us?
Speaking of Lew…is that him there in the Diamond seats behind the plate? Or do my hatin’ old eyes deceive me.
That play will be the turning point in the season.
Ugh.
I can’t cheer for that.
Why do broadcasters always say “doubles machine”, but never “triples machine” or “singles machine” or “homer machine”?
or bobby crosby as an “out machine”
.350
.308
Stop it!
What with Crosby secretly improving his plate discipline, the last thing we need to do is taunt him in a public forum. We are talking about a fragile psyche here.
If mikeA was reading this thread instead of watching the 1985 World Series highlights DVD, he’d tell you the same thing.
Jack Cust, singles machine!
how far can we go with dis Giese?
I don’t know, but I came thisclose to sending another search party out after you.
can it get any Wuertz?
Okay, sorry to link to ** but…
… seriously?
1. WTF is wrong with that link? It keeps launching my mail program when I right-click
2. Come on — if you want to complain about something real, feel free … but a run-of-the-mill troll? Who the fuck cares?
I’m going to complain about the lack of root beer in the Eastern Hemisphere. Now that’s real.
Okay. Point taken. Feel free to delete. or leave as a tribute to my stupidity.
This looks like one of my photoshop creations.
Double play machine
they are SUCH teases…
