from a rugby country….well, gridiron sucks really. It takes 4 hours to watch about 20 total minutes of action, its pretty boring unless you are accustomed to it I suppose.

Nah,

I’ll stick to rugby, 80 minutes, 10 halftime, its all over with in about 100 minutes with the stoppages. Besides its fun for Australia to play countries like NZ, South Africa and England. Its always good to beat on another country.

How is the game? Lowrie is the king of RBIs, can we all agree on that? :)

Mahay sucks.

Gives up a HR to a lefty without much power. Then gives up a single to Cash. I’m so glad we didn’t trade for him.

Better than Jason Bay?

We got one year of Jason Bay for Moss and Hansen.

Grabow is average at best

And our bullpen is coming back to life, so I’m sort of glad he wasn’t in the deal.

Thing is, we don't have many holes

We need a young catcher, but Moss wouldn’t have gotten us that.

All around the zone, then right down the middle

by bdalebs on Aug 6, 2008 10:19 PM EDT up reply actions  

He just Ked a batter

on a nasty FB by the outside corner. He’s an inconsistent relief pitcher (redundant, I realize, but he’s especially inconsistent).

by 0157H7 on Aug 6, 2008 10:21 PM EDT up reply actions  

Not complaining or anything, but...

The Ump must be having a stroke cause he is leaning way to his left on these calls.

3 for 4, 3 run homer, he’s scored twice, and he’s started stealing again.

I know the man is good enough to start, but, damn, Masterson ended up being a very nice reliever.

I know the game ended up nice even with Lowell’s 0-5 night, but he’s just not playing well enough to play through the pain. If he needs a break, then he should get and come back strong.
