Today's Starting Pitchers GS IP ERA WHIP BAA HR BB K W-L Dennis Sarfate - RH 3 (48) 61.0 5.16 1.61 .221 6 50 62 4-2 Justin Verlander - RH 25 158.1 4.77 1.29 .237 15 63 123 8-13
Oh...no.
Ah, God...
It's Sarfate. Starting.
Strap in. Or go do something else with your Saturday. Seriously. Summer's almost over, it's another lost season (though a fun, admirable lost season) and it's Sarfate.

aw
sarfate ain’t that bad of a pitcher when he was an RP, maybe he’ll step it up this start.
No, he was OK and occasionally dominant as a RP. He is beyond God awful as a SP. I’m seeing why he was moved out of this role years ago.

well, it's either this, or cleaning.
and this wins by a long shot.

WHILE cleaning. then, when sir farty gives up his first of 8 homers, you can return to your windexing, pledging, etc.

by the way guys
I’ve just made an Orioles Forum, it has a nice clean looking skin and I have just started searching for members. If you’d like to come and join us I would definitely appreciate that.
Did Sarfate just do what I thought he did?

Well, that would have been better if Castro had fielded cleanly
on the first hit, but hey, damage control from Sarfate, 1 run instead of 8.

Summer's almost over
At least I’m not in denial anymore.
There is some beautiful symmetry in two runs scoring for the O’s on an error by the opposing 3B…when Mora was hitting…
A mind without purpose will walk in dark places.
buck was saying earlier...
how this could be one of his best offensive seasons ever.
uh, except for that year he won the silver slugger, right buck?

Didn't he win it two years?
He had the two ridiculously good years in a row.

Melvin is such a monster right now
That he has the power to make throws go awry.
Mel is the Lizard King.
He can do anything.
godammit...
PLEASE!!!
get sarfate OUT of the rotation. good gravy.

Nasty.

The ball dropped about a foot
and Ordonez looked quite silly swinging at it.

man, Cabrera can hit the shit out of the ball.

I wonder if anyone has noticed
With how “meh” the Tigers’ve have been after the expectations.

Both they and we have been surprised by our mediocrity-- but for us it's been pleasantly so.

that was some bullshit right there
what should have been strike one was ball two…

Welp, so much for Sir Fartay. On the other hand, this is as far as he's gone since...
ever?

Whoa, Randor got out of that one with, like, zero margin for error...
But remember, Randor is Rodnar backwards.

Um, single and an error? Routine throw beats Memlo, pal-- 2 base error all the way.

sympathetic scorer?
letting Memlo get his hit in for the night?

Or Memlo's cousin. Meanwhile, Verlander is starting some serious sucking.

...which we managed to help him out of. Damn.

Blue Jays bullpen?
Holy crap, Buck, the only Jay in this game is Payton, and he is not Blue.

alright guys, you know what we need?
some runs, and you should be into the tigers shitty bullpen here in a minute or two, so use that to your advantage.
"You have to discipline yourself so you don't come out with something just to say you made a trade. You have to make sure you come out better than you were before." - Andy MacPhail, 7/31/08
oh wow, I'm surprised you didn't call that a strike
douchetard.

small gamedau thread tonight, huh?
"I’m sure glad he didn’t try to bunt." - DD on Melmo's game winning double, 6/17
othere people have lives, I guess.

I swear, I'm going to Detroit and beating this umpire.
Wait, no, I’m not ever going to Detroit.
"You have to discipline yourself so you don't come out with something just to say you made a trade. You have to make sure you come out better than you were before." - Andy MacPhail, 7/31/08
cocksucking umpires.
Jay was safe there.
"You have to discipline yourself so you don't come out with something just to say you made a trade. You have to make sure you come out better than you were before." - Andy MacPhail, 7/31/08
He was very safe.
Jay was right to call him whatever terrible name he did..
"You have to discipline yourself so you don't come out with something just to say you made a trade. You have to make sure you come out better than you were before." - Andy MacPhail, 7/31/08
Come on, Nicky, you can save this crummy night!
Or not…
Sh*t.
"Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning." Churchill,1942-- a rebuilding year.
Well, that sucked.
I hope these umpires enjoy their time in the hellhole that is Detroit, Michigan, fucking terrible call on Payton, and enormous strike zone for anyone with a D on their hat, tiny one for anyone with a bird.
Dicks.
"You have to discipline yourself so you don't come out with something just to say you made a trade. You have to make sure you come out better than you were before." - Andy MacPhail, 7/31/08
Better now.
Until tomorrow’s shitastic umpiring fiasco, you know.
