I dunno about short, but I think the Cutter is still there.

There has been a lot of criticizm of Darling on here and elsewhere but I learn something from him every time I watch a game. He knows the game and that's what is important.

Darling has improved a lot.

he was HORRRRRRRRRIBLE earlier in the season.

I'll let you guys in on something. I've done some professional speaking. It's not as easy as it would seem. I like Darling. Have from the get go. He's a little dry, but he's interesting.

... and Darling is a "homer" without being obnoxious.

.......... and gosh darn it, I want to vomit every time i hear Skip Carey

what on God's green earth was Wilson swinging at????

joabee · « **Reply #32:** August 11, 2005, 09:24:46 PM »

Two hits so far. Looks like the offense is taking a rest after two days of heavy hitting. Being in Japan is impossible to look at nats games live, are they at least trying?

carlfish · « **Reply #33:** August 11, 2005, 09:28:55 PM »

okay, let's bust a move here. let's rock the band box!

carlfish · « **Reply #34:** August 11, 2005, 09:29:49 PM »

Joabee, well yeah, they're trying. Just seems they have no mojo. where in Japan are you?

carlfish · « **Reply #35:** August 11, 2005, 09:31:24 PM »

Carroll keeps swinging at those pitches in his eyes

I am in Kumamoto on Kyushu island, the most southern of the Japanese islands (if you disregard Okinawa). They actually have a good baseball team on the island - Fukuoka Softbanks Hawks - where currently Tony Batista plays.

Our last three outs took six pitches. If you keep the bat on your shoulder and make him throw strikes it would take at least 9 pitches!

Good point! It's not likely that swinging at everything you see is going to be the answer. Make him throw pitches and get to the bullpen.

Is everybody watching the game today??? Only two pages of hopeful frustration so far...

carlfish · « **Reply #40:** August 11, 2005, 09:47:53 PM »

Batista plays there? Wow. That's interesting. I'm in the Reserves and was in Tokyo last year. It also seems in the past 5 years about 40% of the women I've dated are Asian.

carlfish · « **Reply #41:** August 11, 2005, 09:48:36 PM »

It's officially a blowout in the making.

Drese is finished

Cool! Man Tokyos is BIG, comming from a small town in Sweden talk a about feeling lost. I've seen Batista play a couple of times this year and he is doing pretty good.

Yeah, when Pettitte gets on you are not doing a very good job.

carlfish · « **Reply #45:** August 11, 2005, 09:55:04 PM »

I like Batista. Hey, coming from a town like Washington, DC, Tokyo seems HUGE!!!!!

So, you are Swedish? Are you also American?

carlfish · « **Reply #46:** August 11, 2005, 09:57:08 PM »

Joebee, If you use AOL AIM, I chat as "zemj59"

joabee · « **Reply #47:** August 11, 2005, 10:01:59 PM »

No, only Swedish. But like America and baseball!

carlfish · « **Reply #48:** August 11, 2005, 10:03:50 PM »

Joebee, I love baseball. My greatest baseball experience ever was taking my two sons to williamsport, Pennsylvania and watching the Little League World Series. We watched allot of international baseball over the 4 days we were there.
