Leaves with a 4-2 lead and then the fun begins

I didn’t see any work showing how you arrived at those numbers. Forgive me for assuming that you just pulled them out of your ass. Of course if you did just make them up then don’t worry about forgiving me.

I have no problem with your clever nicknames
That one is very clever by the way. Over the last 3 weeks, which has been a weaker link, SP or Bullpen? Keep in mind our pen has thrown the 7th fewest innings in the Majors. LINK

That's a great point SK, only two teams in the AL
have thrown less—so please let’s hold off on the overworked threads
I don't know if it's something in the clubhouse, but like the bats, the bullpen seems to run hot or cold together
Either everyone is shut down or everyone sucks. That’s not looking at any numbers, just watching the games. It’s frustrating, because even when Joe makes the right moves, it’s blowing up in his face, and the next guy isn’t any better.

The entire team is in a funk
We score6 R in 2.2 I and don’t come close the rest of the game
I don’t get why Perez is in there, especially hitting LH
Like the other night against Verlander, Aki had a HR against him and he’s on the bench
You would rather have Kapler in CF?
It’s arguable, I just like Nando’s defense over Kapler. His LH drag bunt last night was a thing of beauty. Aki may be sore there is no way to tell. I imagine not playing for 2 months and then rushing back out there is going to leave a man sore and not feeling 100%

AND TOM BRADY WAS DRAFTED IN THE 7TH ROUND
WE ARE GOING TO GET THE NEXT TOM BRADY.
Probably not. I really like SS, but banking on getting anything with that pick is about as reliable as banking on McCown to unload the ball in under 6 seconds.

Honestly this is just typical Al Davis. Smart teams started trading down in the first round 2-3 years ago
So Davis tells his guys to get on the horn and get a good player for the 1st pick. Whoever has their hand up his ass needs to put the puppet down and move on.

Did anyone hear Staats refer to the fan in the stands as “Oscar Gamble”. I think it is a trend. The Gamble look is coming back. We need Nando to grow the fro, to go along with the stache.

Oh, the scheduling thing?
It’s actually a good first step for some balance, maybe just have like an extra series instead of it being heavily weighted

god damn it's on Maddon we understand that, obviously, but Springer made the fucking pitch, you cannot deflect all the blame off him for giving up a homerun to Brandon fucking Inge

Yeah
Maddon served up a hanger to Inge. These walks, home runs and hits lately aren’t being done by Maddon. He is using the crap he has
He has good relievers.
He put them into bad positions today.
by R.J. Anderson on Sep 6, 2009 4:27 PM EDT up reply actions
Balfour was brought in
He walked the first guy. Failed. Howell walk.Springer came in with two men out, hit and home run. Failed

by R.J. Anderson on Sep 6, 2009 4:21 PM EDT up reply actions
i respect the hell out of you
but c’mon, a GS HR in the 9th with 2 out isn’t going to sit well
He got put into a game with the bases loaded.
He’s a fly ball pitcher.
Eventually it’s going to happen if you put him into this situation.
by R.J. Anderson on Sep 6, 2009 4:23 PM EDT up reply actions
I think its just the fact that it seems our relievers this year, at least lately,
pick the worst times to shit the bed. Overall their stats and numbers look fine, but their mistakes seemed to be amplified by bad timing.
by BJ the Bossman on Sep 6, 2009 4:21 PM EDT up reply actions
Right, but this one is on Maddon, not Springer or whomever.
by R.J. Anderson on Sep 6, 2009 4:21 PM EDT up reply actions
Oh absolutely
Im just saying that is probably why some peoples perceptions are a bit skewed right now.
by BJ the Bossman on Sep 6, 2009 4:23 PM EDT up reply actions
Yea, its always Maddon
Maddon made Balfour choke in Anaheim and Maddon made Balfour pitch around Granderson and Polanco hit a 3 run home run
He should have left Cormier in
but all these guys walking and coming in and getting hits is not his fault.
This isn't even real.
This has to be a dream. How can we keep blowing to Detriot
"Doesn't Manny Ramirez look like the monster from Predator??" - Will Farrell as Harry Carey
Time somebody here is honest
this is a so-so team at best

Please
our Pythag, run differential, and any other predictive stat you want to use justifies the fact that this is a good baseball team. Inconsistent? Obviously. Constant questionable managing decisions? Of course. But a so-so team? No way,

As bad as the bullpen has been and it has been very bad
this offense blows big time
Bottom line?
We CANNOT win games when we score 3 or less
i feel like i've been saying this 'til i'm hoarse.
the offense is too dependent on the long ball.
Okay WTF
I went outside for like 30 minutes, only to come back and see the Rays losing in the 9th. How did the BP blow it this time?
