Around SBN: Ray Allen Fighting Age, Injury And His New Role

Aaron Harang gets less support than Easy Company got in Bastogne

You know the story.  Harang pitches his pants off, nerdlinger Reds offense can't score.  The Fish are winning 1-0 behind a great performance from Josh Johnson and a solo jack from Hanley Ramirez.  Apparently Aaron didn't visualize being a dominant honkballer, cuz everyone knows Dominicans can't hit the Dutch.

 

To the bottom of the 5th we go!

Thanks to Ramon Hernandez

BTW, your boy toy GIDP when one of his hustling hits would have been much nicer

If I'm not mistaken a run scored

I want to be there when a trailer full of coffins slams into a an ambulance full of terminally ill Bolivians. Or when the Reds win a WS..whichever comes first....

What's your point?

Unless he hits into a triple play, he’s still your guy?

by timb116 on May 4, 2009 9:39 PM EDT up reply actions  

You know he doesn't get credit for the run scoring

without Ramon Hernandez, the run wouldn’t have been in position to score when Rosales failed.

Yep, he looks so Frustrated

He tatoo’d that ball. Why couldn’t the Marlins have David Eckstein playing short?

Well at least it wasn't a grounder to short ...

Eighty-five percent of the f*ckin' world is working. The other fifteen percent come out here. A f*ckin' playground for the cocks*ckers.

That ball was still rising. I’m having vivid memories of this broadcasting team calling that Cody Ross game last year.

Never thought I would say this but...

Is Stormy available?

You know, Hanley really didn't jump all that high.

He brought his knes to his chest which made it look like he went higher.

Come on STORMY!

Needless to say, this didn't work and everybody died.

there's a Storm brewing on the Horizon...

And its name is Stormy

Easy.... Didn't need any help..just ask any of em

I’m not gonna get stupid …But thats not a very tasty reference… Yeah Harang needs some support . But his life doesn’t depend on it…
I think if we hang close till the break.. He might just get some.. We also still got a few horses working their way up..

They may not help this season but theres more were these kids came from….. Nice site people. My first post…. followed the Boy’s since Brooks Robinson broke my young heart and Sparky’s to..
