Today's Starting Pitchers GS IP ERA WHIP BAA HR BB K W-L Garrett Olson - LH 27 139.1 6.06 1.67 .307 14 44 64 8-6 Zach Miner - RH 5 (37) 74.0 3.41 1.36 .249 6 32 40 6-4
It's Sunday. You know what that means.
Garrett Olson has some pretty horrendous numbers, but has pitched just enough good games that I like to hold out hope for him. Hopefully he can turn in one of his better outings and send the O's back to Baltimore with a winning road trip.

That was a great start to the game.
Now, if they can do exactly that 9 more times today, then I’ll ecstatic.

Meanwhile, Moose was busy extinguishing his last chance for 20 by sucking again,
this time against the Mighty Kansas City whatever-they-are. But the Yerks have bailed him out with a big inning, up 6-3 or thereabouts.
Moose ‘n’ Sid have been the only people pitchig for sh*t on the Yerks lately— and Sid’s been Guthried his last two times out, hee-hee.

…just the man I wanted to talk to. What’s going on in Russland? International relations with Amerikanski are doing turn back the clock month.
The news ain't good but the reporting of it has been worse.
M. Dobbs in todya’s WaPo is one of the less loony pieces I’ve seen.
Meanwhile, I still can’t get a f*cking visa.
Whoops, that reformed drug addict Giambi just grand salamied. Looks like a W for Moose at 10-3.

Ok I know Olson is young and I should be patient with him, but...
I really want to punch him in his stupid fucking pathetic face right now.
I have no understanding of how a professional pitcher can’t throw his fucking fastball for a strike. You should be ashamed of yourself you fucking piece of shit!
I really want to punch him in his stupid fucking pathetic face right now.
Couldn’t have said it better. I’ve had it with Garrett “The Whipping Post” Olson.

In other news, GF in Moscow sez It’s not like life didn’t suck already— I wonder who decided we needed to invade Georgia to make things just perfect.

Such a shame this offense is wasted
My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver

Yup.

so, i know it was said earlier...
but WHAT THE FUCK, GARRETT OLSON? throw a fucking strike, you clown. i know he’s gone now and all, but i think his starts make dd’s veins bulge and eyes twitch.
foghat goes with everything--birdman, 5/16/08

minus boston
The AL East is pounding the shit out of its opponents
Bal 14 runs (make that 16, melvin mora!)
NYY 15 runs
Toronto 12 runs (over Boston, hee hee)
Let’s hope the Rays can do the same this evening.

question
is george sherril going to start tampering with the bats so that he might get a chance to pitch sometime?

Tigers TV just did a Memlo Montage of today's at bats. Nice.
You can almost smell the zombiefied dead-zone concentration. Impressive.

OK, gear up and buckle down: THREE MORE OUTS!!!
"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.
just an aside but....
Why the hell is Aubrey Huff not traded? He is hitting the cover off the ball and it seems to me someone would want that, and he cannot be the DH of the future, can he?
He should be the easiest person on our team to deal imho.
You're not alone: Nobody's been able to figger this one out...
"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.
No real reason to trade him now instead of the off-season unless somebody offers you a great package.
He’ll have just as much value in the off-season as now unless a team in the hunt really needs a LH power hitter, which given the lack of a trade, doesn’t seem to be the case.
Jamie, just get outs here, guy.
