IGT 78 6/29/12 Mets @ former Brooklyn Trolley Dodgers

Ceetar Jun 29 2012 07:26 AM

R.A. Dickey versus Aaron Harang. Harang is 5-4 with a 3.81 ERA and a stupid face. In what will be Dickey's last first half start, he tries to get to 12 wins. How he pitches tonight could make or break whether he starts the All-Star Game, although I'm starting to think he will just given the story. Supposedly the LA media absolutely mobbed him when they arrived yesterday.

There are some very worthy candidates to start the ASG, I guess this is why people harp on about this start....if he gets shelled tonight I don't think people carry that memory to the ASG, it's the story so far.....for him to get that start would be a story that transcends the game I think, good for baseball.

TransMonk Jun 29 2012 08:04 AM Re: IGT 78 6/29/12 Mets @ former Brooklyn Trolley Dodgers

Yeah, Dickey's still got another start (likely against Philly at home) before the ASB. Not sure when LaRussa's staff will name a starter, tho...so this start is still a pretty big audition.

I was more noting that in terms of projections and on pace to win 22-24 games. incidentally, I'd start Dickey first game after the All-Star Break and hold Santana back unti l4th. this way they both pitch against WSH (although Atlanta is important too.) probably too early to pplay around with short rest to get them both against both.

Thank you, Aaron Harang, wherever you are. I don't mean this flippantly, or obnoxiously. I mean it sincerely. I've never met Aaron Harang, a pitcher for the Padres, but he gives me a lift today and doesn't even know it. Whenever I have a rough outing -- and a I have a brutal one here today -- I have a strange custom: I go on my laptop and surf baseball websites until I find somebody who had an even worse day than me. It's not that I delight in other people's misfortune; it's just that misery does like company, and after my eighth start of the year I am definitely looking for somebody to point to and say, "Hey, this guy's a respectable pitcher and he got lit up too." Harang gave up nine hits and seven runs in four and a third innings against the Rockies. Today he supplies the comfort. I feel less miserable for knowing this. --R.A. Dickey, 5/14/2011, after horrible outing of his own at Minute Maid Park (page 176, Wherever I Wind Up) Dodger clubhouse bulletin board material?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 29 2012 09:30 AM Re: IGT 78 6/29/12 Mets @ former Brooklyn Trolley Dodgers

Ridiculously Acclaimed Dickey should stop writing about how much Aaron Harang sucks and demonstrate it for once with a couple of hits and a friggin shutout. For crissakes already, Mr. Look-At-Me-Everybody-I-Wrote-A-Book. The fuck?

With Abreu and a not-in-the-PCL-anymore Lil' Van Slyke at the corners, they've managed to put together an outfield that neither hits NOR fields anywhere near league average. Donnie Baseball is magic! (Didn't they say last night that Rivera was, like, the ONE guy actually hitting the ball well over the last two weeks?)

Just to show you the mentality of the typical MFY fan. I was out with a friend when we saw the results of last night's game. Not only did he dismiss RA completely because his team, with the $81.5 mil infield, "beat the crap" out of him, but he went on to say that the knuckleball isn't really a pitch. Jeez, I nearly shoved my beer in his face. Congrats RA. Hopefully tomorrow, we hear that you get to start the All Star game.
