Time to call that serial killer up to my bullpen in MVP. I'm running short on pitchers...and I can't stand having Franco/Gallo/Wandy on the team, I can't pitch with Lefties.
I think the cardinal annoucer should be biotch slapped. They always take little cuts at our fans, the players, and then boost up their player at the same time. Then they have the audacity to suggest pujols should get mvp because you should measure all the stats, not just hr's, which is fine, until one moment later they suggest wins is the only barometer for the cy young. These guys need to get slapped. Now they mention the moral code of baseball and everett. WTF! somebody slap them now.
Carpenter thougth Everett was trying to get hit intentionally by a pitch. Hardly a big deal since guys do that all the time.
The Nats just took a 3-0 lead against Philly today. Today's game is a pretty important one to get a win in because we want to be at least tied in the loss column when we go to Philadelphia tommorow. Right now, the Phills, Marlins and Astros have mildly separated from the Nats and Mets.
Look who is sitting behind Drayton at todays game. Its Jeff Van Gundy, Stan Van Gundy, and Steve Clifford.
Nice catch... Houston definitely has one of the best basketball/baseball combos in terms of the quality of teams and the quality of the stadiums. I don't see JVG sweating it out in Florida to go watch the Marlins play when he vists Stan.
Wandy is pitching good good so far. Choosing between Zeke and Wandy isn't going to be easy because zeke is pitching good too despite the lot of hrs he has allowed.
Zeke is effective if he keeps the ball down. That's all he has to do, and hitters will either swing and miss, or fail to make contact. He also doesn't walk too many guys, so control really isn't an issue. Things are more complicated with Wandy... his stuff isn't dominating, so he has to have decent control... which can esacpe him from time to time (like it is right now in this inning). But, then there's the fact that for some reason, the team likes to score runs for him (call it the "soft-tossing lefty Jeriome Robertson effect")
