You all will be happy to know

that DC United won their quarterfinal match in the US Open tonight. They played rival Chicago Fire, who have never lost to DC previously in an elimination game. The Fire took an early 1-0 lead, but United evened the score on a goal by Liberian international Francis Doe. Defender Bryan Namoff then netted the game-winner in extra time. It sounds like a very chippy affair, with six yellow cards and two straight reds (including one to the hated Cuauhtemoc Blanco.

See the ball - hit the ball

1. Be patient – wait for your pitch
2. Keep your hands back – be in charge of your PA
3. Work the pitcher – make him work
4. Jay had it when he first came up but now is too impatient
5. No fucking bunting – unless absolutely necessary
6. Dunn mat strike out a lot but he works for his pitch.
7. Never let CoPhat PH again.
8. Sit Bako 90% of the time.
9. Don’t go up there and swing away early in the count because Dustbag says so.
10. remember don’t think so much watch the ball, see the ball and hit the ball where it is pitched.\

If they don’t hire me then any of these guys will do:

Well maybe not Johnny Bench – but Morgan, Perez and Rose sure knew how to handle an AB. God damn it any way -

eye witness report

i was in right field, kinda behind a poll in what were labled as “unobstructed” seats. Harang loooked terrible. I am not anything close to an expert on pitching mechanics but Harang looked like he was standing straight up when he pitched. He just didn’t look like he was bending down at all. I am guessing he was leaving everything up. I thought he was lucky in the first inning. I feel that the Reds should DL Harang, call up Belise, Maloney, Thompson, or Bailey to pitch on Sunday, the All star break would limit the number of times the fill in would be needed to start if Harang spends the minimum on the DL.

Did his mechanics look off to you?

I took a few pictures I may put them up if I ever figure out how.

I wasn't paying a whole bunch of attention

but he didn’t look any different to me. There’d have to be something way wrong in his delivery or you’d have to have one hell of trained eye to notice something at full speed.

He's doing it. He's eating a tire!

it could have been my angle

i have actually haven’t seen Harang pitch much in person, so I may just be that i haven’t seen him pitching from the side. But he looked like he was standing straight up when he released the ball. His velocity looked ok, he hit 92 or 93 enough.

harang needs a fucking break.

dustbag and Dickpolehead don’t have a clue as what to do to help Aaron H. Typical. Who the hell hired these clowns anyway.

Stubbs and Cumberland are movin' on up

http://timesfreepress.com/news/2008/jul/09/chattanooga-stubbs-promoted-lookouts/

its about time, in my opinion. Stubbs’ numbers in Sarasota arent incredible, but it looks like he has taken some real strides in his game. walks are up, Ks are down. the power numbers arent there, but the FSL is bad for that anyway. i would love nothing more than to see this kid torch Chatty and end the season in Louisville, a-la The Next Big Thing, Jay “The Boss” Bruce Almighty last year. im still pissed about Lincecum, but i still believe Stubbs could be something.

Stephen A. Douglas was a great debater, but Abraham Lincoln was the Great Emancipator.
