vs. MARINERS, 8/02

[TouchemAll]

Our 4 and 5 hitters are in Schoop mode. :slytf:

[Babkins]

I'm telling you, he needs to have a retreat with Jim Thome. It seemed to turn the light on last time.

Apparently Thome signed a one-day contract with Cleveland and retired an Indian today.

[scOtt]

Throw the bum umpires out General Weaver.

You know why you guys are out here? You're only here for one reason!

You all know the reason...

[WEAVERMAN]

Get 1 more outs, and it's ORIOLES MAGIC TIME.

[WEAVERMAN]

You know why you guys are out here? You're only here for one reason!

You all know the reason...

To screw over the Orioles?

[Jonesy10]

WE GET runners to second with none out and for the life of us CANNOT get those runners to third with less than 2 out,and THAT to me, is as big a problem as all of their slumps.Cannot figure how to move runners.

How many times have they had a runner on 2nd and no outs tonight and not scored? It's at least 3 times. Joseph also got a 1 out double and obviously, with this offense, didn't score. Brutal.

[flyhighbirds]

Cruz thinks he is Vladimir Guerrero. He just doesn't have the reach up there.

[WEAVERMAN]

Get this bum from DET out.

[Reboulet'sStache]

Are you suggesting he's done?

I wouldn't say "done." But I'm worried what his "real" normalcy might be. And I'm not sure he is in a slump as much as he has a weakness for low and outside and pitchers are exploiting it. Until he stops, there really is no logical reason why this "slump" should end.

That's pretty cool!

[Malike]

Thome helped Flaherty, I believe.

[Mendoza Line]

Apparently Thome signed a one-day contract with Cleveland and retired an Indian today.

Good for him. Seems like a classy guy. I've always liked him.

[LA2]

Thorne awful excited for a routine fly ball :slytf:

It is sort of impressive that he managed to pull that particular pitch that hard.

[scOtt]

To screw over the Orioles?

More delicately phrased than Earl did.

[WEAVERMAN]

At least we didn't lose ground to Toronto. I hope like hell they figure out this funk they are in, it sure isn't pretty.And we will lose some big games soon if they don't.

We need to find some pitchers who don't make their pitches also.
