  Today's Starting Pitchers GS IP ERA WHIP BAA BB K W-L
Matt Garza - RH 3 13.0 7.62 1.92 .321 8 6 0-0
Brian Burres - LH 4 (5) 25.1 2.49 1.22 .233 10 13 3-1

Garza still scares the shit out of me. Burres has done a damn good job thus far in 2008. He's starting to grow on me. For reals. I don't say nice things about Brian Burres very often. Take it and love it!

So Burres is going today, right?

Why the pic of the Trash man?

I could really use a win today, boys.

Thanks in advance.

they didn't find any inflammation, structural problems, broken bones/spurs, etc

on Loewen.

Any diagnosticians out there want to take a guess what’s Loewen’s problem?

An acute case of Suck.

Have fun, guys

I’m teaching a chapter of Machiavelli’s “The Prince” to 9th graders today, so time to post will be sparse until 2 p.m. Hopefully, we’re up by 10 by then. :)

Trying to get them to see

motivations for how leaders lead. That, and it’s the best peice of Renaissance lit I can find that I can use.

Its difficult to find stuff from the Renaissance that can’t be considered pornographic.

I thought about The Courtier, but decided to go with The Prince. Hopefully, some will realize this is how politicians still work today…

Looked pretty good to me

Burres was going right after guys and the double wasn’t crushed or anything.

Walks kill, though.

My cube mates would frown on that, I fear. So it’s just me and ESPN Gamecast (ghetto work computer doesn’t have the right settings for Game Day).

I know he's doing well, but...

doesn’t it seem like you have to throw it right into his bat for him to hit it well??

i'm doing gameday

looks reasonable through there.. not sure how it translates to real life though. Last pitch was in the low-k zone though (if accurate).

by Y Not on May 1, 2008 1:03 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I guess it was low

But it looked good to me.

by dkdc on May 1, 2008 1:02 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

what happened?

yahoo says that hinske was caught stealing. and yet there he is on second base and there’s one out.

by silverstadium on May 1, 2008 1:06 PM EDT   0 recs

Hinske should've been dead by 4 steps

But Quiroz sailed the ball over Roberts’ head.

by dkdc on May 1, 2008 1:07 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Quiroz threw it into center.

Hinske had stopped and was going back to first. Ridiculous.

by O'sFan21 on May 1, 2008 1:08 PM EDT   0 recs

so in a way...

he was caught stealing

ESPN's explanation

by Stacey on May 1, 2008 1:10 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

hmmm

is it actually scored that way? CS + E-2? i guess that makes sense if it’s that obvious the runner would have been out.

by silverstadium on May 1, 2008 1:10 PM EDT   0 recs

Yeah.. but

according to Led Plantra they took the Error away and scored it a SB.

Agreed.

We could probably keep him around for the next 5 years. I like what I’ve seen so far, throw into CF notwithstanding.

If Wieters delivers as advertised, Quiroz could catch 50 games a year to keep Wieters fresh.

he's always hit OK

Injuries have killed him. He was supposed to be Toronto’s starter a while back.
