Drew Sutton looks just like Jason Bay. Same number. Similar stance. Similar build. Current results.

Just got off a Warhawk marathon, what's the score-

...

Good night, everyone!

BTW guys I got the Big Windup! DVD out from the library. Does the weird kid with the eyes do anything like lick his hand? Or when he gets shelled he runs in the parking lot? Y'know, any mind-numbingly frustrating things I can attribute as having seen before?

Whose lack of confidence means that despite his ungodly control the other teams can sctually predict his pitches by watching the catcher/manager. He hasn't got the balls to shake stuff off...yet.
 
I don't think I've been this mad after a loss... well for this season.

Stop overmanaging Riggleman. Just bring in Coffee over leave in Burnett or even use Kimball!! I don't feel confident with using Rodriguez in a 2-3 run lead. He's too damn wild!

And to pile on to this shitty loss, I had to see the Bulls lose.

Part of it was just poor luck, too. Lucroy's hit was a bloop-job and even then, if Ramos hangs on to that ball, it's only tied up...

Rodriguez has filthy stuff by the way, and I had never heard of him until this series. The Nationals have some good pitching talent.

Well Morse has to make a better throw but either way Ramos had to hold on to the ball.

Having good stuff doesn't really say much for Rodriguez since he has zero command. I think he will eventually become a solid major leaguer but I did not like the move of leaving him in after a hit and a walk. Bring in Coffee or Kimball. That's all you got to do.

For real! Lucroy has been coming through huge for us this year, Hart found his groove, and the rotation has been holding it down all the while, minus tonight of course. These past two games have been the most fun I've seen at Miller Park.

Won't be there tomorrow due to work, but Greinke should finish the sweep off. His ERA isn't wholly indicative of how well he's been throwing the ball this season. Just some bad innings here and there.
 
The lawyer who now represents Bryan Stow's family in a lawsuit against the Los Angeles Dodgers gave a new detail on a former Giants generosity to Stow's two young children.

Stow family attorney Thomas Girardi said that former slugger Barry Bonds has donated to pay for their college education. He said the family has talked about turning other donations back to the fans if this suit is successful, but said the gift of a college of education is something they treasure and will keep.

Bryan is a single father. He has a son and a daughter who are both in grade school.

Bonds visited Stow on April 22, while he was still in a Southern California hospital.

Sources close to Stow told NBC that Bonds also spent an hour in Stow's room and left a signed baseball bat for Stow's children. At the time, there was no mention of a donation to a college fund.

Bonds is not the only member of the Giant organization who have reached out to Stow and his family. Several members of the current team have visited Stow and the family. Pitcher Tim Lincecum also dug into his personal bank account and gave a $25,000 donation to the Stow family fund.

The lawyer was talking to reporters on Tuesday to inform them about a new lawsuit filed on behalf of Stow. Stow's family is suing the LA Dodgers and owner Frank McCourt. The suit was filed Tuesday in the Los Angeles Superior Court.

Read a PDF file of the lawsuit here.

It alleges that the Dodgers have "shown a total disregard for public safety" and seeks an undisclosed amount of money.

Girardi said the medical expenses alone are massive.

"This is not a case where the family quote 'wants money,' this is a case where they want to take care of him and make sure those kids are taken care of," Girardi said.

I mean, if in open court people were talking about my roid raging, atrophied testicles, and all around douche-ness, I'd be doing whatever I could to repair my image too.
 
I don't understand how that Yankee picture is surprising. They have a huge core base, then the rest are people in the city who feel obligated to wear Yankee caps/shirts while always having a backup story about liking a second team.

IM A YANKEE FAN, but LeBron James is pretty awesome.
IM A YANKEE FAN, but Lakers have celebs at their games too.
IM A YANKEE FAN, but McNabb is an Uncle Tom...GO VICK!

...and so on and so on.

Then you have the real fans.

lol

On Tuesday, Street, now with the Rockies, offered his harshest public criticism of Geren in a text to Chronicle reporter Susan Slusser:

"Bob was never good at communication, and I don't want to speak for anybody else, but it was a sentiment reflected in many conversations during the two years I spent in Oakland, and even recently when talking to guys after I left. For me personally, he was my least favorite person I have ever encountered in sports from age 6 to 27. I am very thankful to be in a place where I can trust my manager."

You know this applies to both our teams, right?

Morse is fine, I'd like to see him stay in the lineup (as I have since before the season began). But yes, HRod is simply too damn erratic for all the strikeouts to mean very much. Keep going to Clippard in Nats park, but in parks like the Brew Crew's those long fly balls are going to turn into home runs.

Don't take it personally, but your point is like comparing the percentage of people with Windows vs. Macintosh. It's just not even close. There are VERY little people here who support outside teams. The largest you will find is people who are Red Sox and NY Giants fans which makes sense.

I'm not bashing your team. The picture is used to stereotype. Silly or not, they all appear to be actual fans.

I wasn't saying anything about his offense though. He is starting to become what I wanted him to become at the beginning of the year. I was just saying on that play where Ramos dropped the ball. Morse threw it on a bounce from first base. I think any major leaguer should throw it on a straight beam to homeplate.
