    Remember, no PBP in these threads and keep the chatter on topic (if it is about something other than this series, talk about it in another thread).

    Towels = ******* terrible.


    Ugliest swings this side of Morgan Ensberg. Just awful.



    Time to send this whiffer king back to the Single-A T-BALL Challenger league.

    yep can't believe he is our starting catcher hitting .150. I'd rather have ausmus' offense over him.

    Get Q back ASAP

    Jim Edmonds throws like a girl. That throw was pitiful.

    Today's game is not on TV today? The Rangers game is on instead I think.

    Well we went to a real slugfest last night, but we won though =)

    Observations:

    - Towles sucks, Towles sucks, and Towles sucks (Why did we call him up again? I forget.)
    - Moehler pitcher very well. Geary was solid. I was surprised we didn't send 80 bombs over the fence against Lilly.
    - We must trade Lee for prospects now. He's absolutely hitting the cover off the ball again. It'll be a shame to see him go, but long-term our farm system will thank us for it.

    I was too harsh on him last night, so I apologize, Mr. Towles. :(

    I mean, I'm so rooting for this kid ... but something's wrong. He needs seasoning in the minors. More than a month's worth. Yeah, how SAD is it, that we think AUSMUS should be the everyday catcher?! :eek: :D

    It seems like when J.R. steps up to the plate, he just stares at the ground the whole time, until the very last second, when he NEEDS to look at the pitcher. His plate demeanor is awful. Funny that the coaches wouldn't tinker with him a little bit. Maybe they do? Maybe he doesn't listen? I have no idea.

    Alls I know, is that it's embarrassing. Get a damn catcher in here for pete's sake! When does Quintero come back?

    I'd rather have Milt May catching at this point. :p

    Q got hit in the head. :p

    I don't see Lee going anywhere with that contract and the no trade clause.

    Well, good thing that the guide is wrong and that they're showing the Astros on FSSW.

    Pitching is key to getting more victories.
