I would like to see those slackers Andy and Roy lower their ERA's to the sub-2.00 level by the end of the season.

 

wow, we get the big 3 all in one series. and against 3 pitchers who somehow have almost the same high 4's ERA. that's gotta be one of the bigger ERA differentials in a series this year.

of course, if schmidt is on we could have trouble scoring like we've had lately. lets just hope things go according to form and we keep rolling, though i'll take 2 out of 3. 2 out of 3 from the big 3 and 1 of 2 from the rookies/backe the rest of the way and we're in the playoffs.

But damn these 9 PM games.

 

Just keep winning series.

A sweep would be nice though - kick em' while they are down. The Giants have had a rough year.

 

does anyone know what we're doing with the rotation with the day off coming up? we've got the big 3 going up against the giants but our next series is against washington and if we keep a 5 man rotation, only pettitte would face them, whereas we could get pettitte and oswalt by skipping a rookie on the off day. with oswalt talking about being tired and clemens having minor back troubles, will we take the extra rest or do whatever we can to ensure the tiebreaker with washington (just need 1 win).

 

I think it all depends on what happens between now and then. If we can sweep the Jints and gain a couple of games, I can see them giving everyone a day off. If things go the other way, I can see them skipping a start to get both Pettitte and Oswalt in there.

 

WWWW

somehow we find a way to win the 4th game

 

Our rookies aren't the ones who need a day off. We have a "tired" pitcher in Roy O, and an old (and aching) pitcher in Roger... if we rest anyone it will be one of those two.

 

I don't think he was suggesting the rookies needed rest, just that with the day off, if we skip a rookie then we get an extra turn from one of our big 3, skipping one of the "weak links." I think Garner will give everyone the day off, even if Roy pitches well and feels good for most of his start. Clemens is a little banged up too, he just doesn't talk about it much, and Pettite has to be getting a little tired pitching so many innings after having an injury riddled season last year.

 

Umm, WWW

No questions asked.

 

On ESPNNews it says "Breaking News: SF Giants announcer uses racial remarks"

Anyone know what they said before the game tonight?

 

As the Astros come up to bat, San Diego has taken the lead over the Nationals in the top of the 9th!

 

Said yesterday: "brain-dead Caribbean hitters hacking at slop nightly."

 

Vizquel is an fielding Hall of Famer

 

is the game on in austin? i've tried 23, 54, and 77. am i missing one?

 

TV Guide says it'll come on FSSW (54) at 10, after the Rangers game.

 

true, but right now it's blacked out. and the last time they did that i don't think i ever got the game. guess i'm out of luck tonight.
