I can't come up with the words to describe how big tomorrow is. We CAN'T lose 3 of 4 to these guys, especially with a very tough roadtrip coming up. Mark needs to DOMINATE tomorrow. f*** the quality start stuff.

 

yea

 

especially since all the fans worked so hard for these sellouts against this terrible team that we can't even beat

 

what a slap in the face it is to us to just play like s*** when we keep filling the park like this

Even if such a miraculous event would occur, I've learned this season not to select individual moments which may propel ourselves into a "rhythm."

 

I think I agree with you. I can't count how many times I've said to myself "yes, this is gonna be the play or game that sparks our run."

nothing that counts as a run though

The fact that Mark "I will give up the lead and have turned into long ball Marky" is on the hill tomorrow makes me most nervous.

by the way since I wasn't around earlier in the game, has any one else noticed how off-balance Jim Thome is right now when he tries to turn on pitches

 

it looked like he's leaning back and not completely any transfer of power in his swing, so all the power has to come out of his arms, which may explain why he hasn't pulled a home run in a while

 

anyone notice this or am I crazy?

...you realize that if he didn't use the pen, half the fan base would complain that he gave up during a critical series, don't you?

 

 

We gave up when we put an outfield of Pods, Mackowiak and Gload out there. Balls can find the holes with that trio out there.

 

Our manager thinks that we are playing split squad games in Tuscon still.

So did facing terrible pitching. We played terrible that entire Orioles series....we were lucky to win 2 games.

 

but our offense played well against roy halladay, the yankee bullpen and verlander

 

and the offensive approach improved somewhat (but seems to have reverted back now)

Thome's wrist issue has made it difficult to pull the ball with authority.

We actually caught some big breaks in those games. Maybe Teahen will throw away an easy DP ball tomorrow to help us win.

When we face good pitching our hitters try to hit whats there. They hit line drives, they think back up the middle and oppo. They take pitches.

 

When we face a crappy pitcher, our guys eyes light up, they dip the back shoulder and try to let it fly.

Mark was a Juan Uribe botched double play away from probably throwing a complete game shutout against the Tigers. He's gonna have to be that good tomorrow. I pray the defense is good (Anderson better be in center).

He looked better, but that's quite the stretch you're making.
