Jordan4life_2007 Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 This has got to be the freakiest of the freak injuries of all-time. Unbelievable. The look of terror on the Angels players faces mere seconds after the pure joy that comes from celebrating a walk-off win is something I won't forget for a long time. I'm not at all comparing what happened yesterday to the Adenhart tragedy. But if you want to talk about curses (not curses of f***ing goats), I'd say the Angels definitely have one hanging over their heads. Terrible.

BearSox Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I would do or give anything to get Joey Votto. He is probably my favorite player in baseball right now, along with Justin Morneau. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 (edited) Buster Posey with an RBI double. Now 4/6 with 4 RBIs so far. Make that 6/8. Edited May 30, 2010 by Jordan4life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I think Garland is 7-2 with a 2.10 ERA and 1.33 whip Ha. Yeah I know, he pitches in the NL. So what. He's still pitching well. Congrats Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still pitching well. Congrats Jon. Garland is pitching out of his mind. However, him, Ely, and Contreras are showing how weak the NL is. None of them would be this good in the AL. They'd still be good, just not as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Jimenez vs Lincecum at 3:05 on MLB Network. If that doesn't get you horny, buy some viagra (yes, I know that was lame as hell). You guys get the point, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that doesn't get you horny, buy some viagra (yes, I know that was lame as hell). You guys get the point, though. Lincecum was woefully inept last start, and has struggled in his last two starts. His last start, he refused to even check the runners on base before he pitched. I'm sure he'll come to play, but I expect Jimenez to outshine him somewhat easily.

Pitching match-ups like these bring the best out of guys. It's like when Lebron/Kobe match-up. You know they're bringin' it even harder than usual. I expect Lincy to meet the challenge.

I think Lincecum's having some mechanical issues that are f'ing with his mind a bit. That or he was a bit slow to come off the weed in his last start...

They'd still be good, just not as much. I know the NL sucks. Everybody says it. But why oh why are NL and AL teams tied after that first weekend of interleague play this year. If the NL is as bad as everybody says, wouldn't the AL just simply dominate head to head competition? I mean win almost every game? The way people talk is it's like the NL is a minor league team versus the Rays every night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I'll admit the NL is easier for starting pitchers because they get to face the pitcher which is the closest thing to an automatic out in baseball. However, people blow the difference dramatically out of proportion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lincecum has really struggled mentally and has allowed 5 BBs this game in 5.2 IP giving up 4 ER and 6 hits (could have been more) and only 3 Ks. Jimenez on the other hand so far has 8 Ks, 1 BB and only 2 hits in 5 IP. He has just been dominant this whole game clearly outshining Timmy. Very nice call/pwnage on your end. Didn't realize Timmy was really laboring that much recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
