That’s the funny guy’s name. Where’s he?

He's extremely quick and good.

Homer Bailey is pitching tonight in Louisville, so he'll be around later to give us his "expert" analysis.

Bako has a picture of footsteps in the sand in his locker

One day he asked the Catcher Witch, “Where were you when there is only one set of footprints? Those were my toughest times as a baseball player.”

And the Catcher Witch replied, “Ass, gas, or grass, nobody rides for free.”

Anybody catch Bronson singing the America song?

He broke out his inner Badroyo for that.

At first I thought it was a JTM commercial spoof

But then I realized the horror.

BRONSON ARROYO CANNOT SING. He sounds like a poor man’s Nickelback.

Phone's ringing, Dude.

Who's more valuable in Scrabble?

Xavier Nady or Doug Mientkiewicz?

by Brendanukkah on Jul 2, 2008 8:38 PM EDT   0 recs

Goddammit Xavier Nady!

When did he get this good? And is he a Hall-Star at this point?

by Brendanukkah on Jul 2, 2008 8:39 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Hey, I get that one!

He's extremely quick and good.

by battlekow on Jul 2, 2008 8:40 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I say yes

He has the highest tOPS+ against the Reds out of every team he’s played more than four games against.

by Brendanukkah on Jul 2, 2008 8:41 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

yep

career vs. Reds: .340/.365/.587
overall: .278/.335/.451

11 of his 74 career HRs are against the Reds Just 7.5% of his PAs are against the Reds.

I guess you could say Nady has been the X-factor in this one.

I’ll go sit in the corner now.

No.

We’re all doomed. He will get crushed in his next start.

He is not extending on his pitches.

Hey Dusty...Are you sure you're OK? You might need an MRI.

He pitched really well his first two games

And got hammered in Great American. It’s happened before.

it just seems like he had to get out of a lot of jams the first two starts, and he did

not so much so tonight …. could be worse though … at least its not milton

Hey battlekow

How is it working out, batting the pitcher 8th? Are the Brewers even still doing it? Is there an appreciable difference than batting him 9th?

Phillips

could end up with around 40 doubles, 100 rbi, 30 hr, 30 steals and 100 runs scored. No Red has ever had a season like that before. Only been done 10 times in history. That might be something to root for in the second half.

am I the only one that doesn't give a fig

about the All-Star Game?

Dunn has been to as many as FeLo. Harang has been to none. Griffey is voted in this year…what’s the fun here?

...because there's already someone posing as Jacob Brumfield

by Cy Schourek on Jul 2, 2008 9:08 PM EDT   0 recs

I generally don't watch.

But Voltron should be there, which might be fun.
