3 baserunners through 2 innings and nothing to show for it. That may have been our last chance to score.

Ronnie is a freak

It would be nice if Ronnie could keep this up for the rest of the season. Maybe we could actually get some decent return for him in the offseason. He currently has an .858 OPS, the highest of any Nat all season (with more than 100 AB)

I'm sick of hearing excuses made for Kearns. If he's hurt then he should get the freak out of the lineup for everybody's sake. That crap isn't heroic or commendable. To some people that may make him a gamer. To me it just makes him a freaking bum that can't produce.

QFT. If he has any potential left, he sure as hell is not showing it. There has to be a certain point when, even if you are one of the worst teams in history, you bench him for piss poor play.

Yeah, I'd just assume he sit out if he's not fully healthy. Nothing to gain by going out there everyday for the last month at less than 100%.

Another terrible 0-2 pitch. Cannot stand Odalis. Should have been dealt for a bag of chips weeks ago.

4 straight balls to the LH #8 hitter. Brilliant you effing idiot.

I hope our pitchers were watching Dempster, because that is how you freaking bunt.

How lucky was that!

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #33:** August 23, 2008, 01:41:32 PM »

lucky ass. That dude was about to walk in a run but Theriot bailed him out.

With the trade of Ayala, there are only three former Expos left on the team. All three (Hill, Johnson, Cordero) are currently on the DL. The sooner we are Expo free, the better, IMO.

I agree.

It makes sense with Harris' recent power surge, but it is still laughable that pitchers are now pitching to him like a power hitter.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #37:** August 23, 2008, 01:48:51 PM »

All too familiar. They squander all of their early opportunities and then the opposing pitcher cruises through the rest of the game.

spidernat · « **Reply #38:** August 23, 2008, 01:49:44 PM »

I'm not too worried about it.

even if there is no entertainment on the field, we are keepin' it real on this board

True. Where did it go spider?

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #42:** August 23, 2008, 01:55:00 PM »

It's only a matter of time before he gives up a crushing double or HR with all of these runners he keeps putting on.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #43:** August 23, 2008, 01:57:57 PM »

awful. Every hitter he gets ahead of ends up getting on base.

That pop was a heaven sent gift by Soto

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #45:** August 23, 2008, 02:01:08 PM »

Thank you Soto and Fukudome!! What a bunch of bums!

I'm thinking about posting some action shots from my personal files.

Lucky again. How long will he be able to get away like this?

Not for long. Our offense needs to take advantage and stake us to a lead!

Odalis Perez is looking like Houdini. Only a matter of time before he is buried alive.

spidernat · « **Reply #49:** August 23, 2008, 02:03:52 PM »

Perez has yielded 8 base runners in 3 innings.
