The Stopper Returns I.G.T 4/22 Cubs @ Mets 7:10

Ashie62 Apr 22 2010 07:05 AM

Ashie62 will attempt to channel postive Metitude Johan Santana vs. Tom Gorzelanny. That's a good thing.

First person to post a pic of a trust-fund goth brat is going to get such a pinch.

Goth photos, 'Son, is this some sort of a sick joke"

I dreamed last night I was missing a Mets game and looked up to see the score was 8-3 in favor of the Cubs in the 5th inning. I then slid into one of weird half-sleep states where you can think rationally while still dreaming and realized it was Santana's turn in the rotation. I dunno guys.

Thunder and lightning in the area. Somebody Up There doesn't like Pagan batting eighth.

metirish Apr 22 2010 01:57 PM Re: The Stopper Returns I.G.T 4/22 Cubs @ Mets 7:10

What about the Cubs moving Zambrano to the pen, stunning move I think.

Edgy DC Apr 22 2010 02:43 PM Re: The Stopper Returns I.G.T 4/22 Cubs @ Mets 7:10

Used to be a pretty standard move for an excellent pitcher who was struggling. I support it.

G-Fafif Apr 22 2010 02:52 PM Re: The Stopper Returns I.G.T 4/22 Cubs @ Mets 7:10

I wonder if perhaps Piniella remembered Guidry stepping into close when Gossage went out with a Cliff Johnson-broken thumb. Surely all the Ron Davis talk in the air is taking him back to those halcyon days.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 22 2010 02:57 PM Re: The Stopper Returns I.G.T 4/22 Cubs @ Mets 7:10

[quote="Edgy DC":nd4kamq9]Used to be a pretty standard move for an excellent pitcher who was struggling. I support it.[/quote:nd4kamq9] And that may be the real reason, but that doesn't seem to be how the Cubs are spinning it. They're saying that Zambrano is needed in the bullpen, not that he's, for now at least, not pitching well enough to stay in the rotation. And it sounds like Zambrano is buying it.

Frayed Knot Apr 22 2010 03:04 PM Re: The Stopper Returns I.G.T 4/22 Cubs @ Mets 7:10

Yeah, this is more about the state of their pen then about Zambrano. With Ted Lilly is due back they, theoretically at least, have one too many arms in the rotation and are begging in the pen. Aside from his horrible opening day start, big Z hasn't been all that bad.

Kong76 Apr 22 2010 05:12 PM Re: The Stopper Returns I.G.T 4/22 Cubs @ Mets 7:10

Let's put up a 7 spot in the first inning and shoot one across the bow of Gorzelanny's pretty little ERA and then get lot's of camera shots of him watching the rest of the game from the dugout with a towel around his neck NOW!!!

We're getting perfect-gamed thru 3. Does it matter who's pitching?

Edgy DC Apr 22 2010 06:03 PM Re: The Stopper Returns I.G.T 4/22 Cubs @ Mets 7:10

I doubt the rule is still on the books, but Soriano has pine tar pretty far up on his bat. Um, who's in charge of rundown training?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 22 2010 06:11 PM Re: The Stopper Returns I.G.T 4/22 Cubs @ Mets 7:10

Take that, Tom "El Perfecto" Gorzelanny. Yeah, that's right. We drew a walk off ya.

Edgy DC Apr 22 2010 06:12 PM Re: The Stopper Returns I.G.T 4/22 Cubs @ Mets 7:10

Wright's average: .235. Wright's OBP: .451. Really? Wow.

Edgy DC Apr 22 2010 06:15 PM Re: The Stopper Returns I.G.T 4/22 Cubs @ Mets 7:10

Ronnie's making a good point. Wright may be overdoing it.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 22 2010 06:20 PM Re: The Stopper Returns I.G.T 4/22 Cubs @ Mets 7:10

[quote="Edgy DC":304w155x]Ronnie's making a good point. Wright may be overdoing it.[/quote:304w155x] Ronnie doesn't know what he's talking about. David needs to swing harder and more wildly.

That would be hard to do without killing somebody.

Sorry Johan, I meant the Mets O is pretty boring.

[quote="Kong76":2850znap]The Mets are pretty boring.[/quote:2850znap] I guess if you're into watching pitching, that was a pretty thrilling clinic Johan just put on, but yeah. Reyes leads off here, he makes them fun to watch if he can reach.

metirish Apr 22 2010 06:55 PM Re: The Stopper Returns I.G.T 4/22 Cubs @ Mets 7:10

A fucking sac bunt with Reyes on first , why not hit and run instead?

Edgy DC Apr 22 2010 06:59 PM Re: The Stopper Returns I.G.T 4/22 Cubs @ Mets 7:10

[quote="Edgy DC":39fs9e53]I suspect that Jerry Manuel is thinking about bunting right now, going over in his head times he could have bunted this week but didn't, thinking about how he'll bunt again if that situation arises, and that he might have to work the game situation to make sure the sitation arises again.[/quote:39fs9e53] Way to show 'em, Jerry, ya buntin' bastid.

And if you had Ike in the "Who's gonna chase Gorzelanny?" pool, step forward and collect your prize.

Edgy DC Apr 22 2010 07:15 PM Re: The Stopper Returns I.G.T 4/22 Cubs @ Mets 7:10

Four balls on Barajas = moral victory. Bases loaded for Pagan. Let's put this out of reach.

Edgy DC Apr 22 2010 07:16 PM Re: The Stopper Returns I.G.T 4/22 Cubs @ Mets 7:10

Hah!!

Fman99 Apr 22 2010 07:26 PM Re: The Stopper Returns I.G.T 4/22 Cubs @ Mets 7:10

Eight outs left to get for the Mets pen.

Viagra commercials are the best. This actor gets the job and knows that he's the poster boy for "I wish my dick worked." SO great.

Edgy DC Apr 22 2010 07:35 PM Re: The Stopper Returns I.G.T 4/22 Cubs @ Mets 7:10

A big deal that Feliciano is being trusted against Lee here --- tying run.

Fman99 Apr 22 2010 07:36 PM Re: The Stopper Returns I.G.T 4/22 Cubs @ Mets 7:10

Nice work by Feliciano to get through the 7th. Having used Nieve already I wonder who Jerry has in mind to set up for Frankie-Rod.

Edgy DC Apr 22 2010 07:43 PM Re: The Stopper Returns I.G.T 4/22 Cubs @ Mets 7:10

May-HEE-uh.

Fman99 Apr 22 2010 07:47 PM Re: The Stopper Returns I.G.T 4/22 Cubs @ Mets 7:10

Jerry sticking with Pedro, Jennry warming. Nice play by Frenchy to hold Byrd to first, he's got a cannon out there and he gets to a TON of balls.

Frayed Knot Apr 22 2010 07:51 PM Re: The Stopper Returns I.G.T 4/22 Cubs @ Mets 7:10

I wasn't thrilled about Santana being pulled as early as he was (he did work hard though) but I like the fact that Pedro F. is getting to stay in to face the RHBs in the 8th.

Frayed Knot Apr 22 2010 07:55 PM Re: The Stopper Returns I.G.T 4/22 Cubs @ Mets 7:10

Well now that didn't last long.

Fman99 Apr 22 2010 07:55 PM Re: The Stopper Returns I.G.T 4/22 Cubs @ Mets 7:10

Credit Soriano for fouling off so many pitches and drawing an 11 pitch walk. Mejia coming in to face the tying run, 1 out.

A low strike makes up for the lack of a high one earlier.
