July 18: Tigers @ Os Game 2

[BaltBird 24]

How often do we see this team get a lead only to give it up the next half inning? Countless.........

[itsernst]

He didn't listen to you.

ain't that the truth.

[TonySoprano]

Give Guthrie the lead; he hands it right back.

Per game?

[MurphDogg]

Poop. Time to break out the chorus that Guthrie just can't pitch from ahead.

[BaltBird 24]

And with the way things have been going with Guthrie lately, that's probably all he'll give up. Sadly, that one run is probably all our offense will muster tonight.

Why announce it 2 weeks before the deadline? What does it help?

Why bash Olson for it either? IMO Trembley bites his tongue way too much about the veterans and is hypercritical of the rookies. When a rookie pitcher/veteran catcher combine for bad pitch calling, you can bet the catcher had a whole lot to do with it.

Aside from that, nobody wants Ramon. Continuing to trot him out there and not hold him accountable for his poor/stupid/lazy play only accentuates that.

It goes to show that not matter how much people :cussing: about we need a big bat, our SP has KILLED us this year! If our SP could atleast go 6 or 7 deep, I think this season would be alot different then it has been.

[Sideburns]

anyone catch that wink that pudge gave to 3rd base before that hr? Hate when he makes good on, whatever...

yes. I don't know the words to that one but I can make out the melody.

You can hardly blame Guthrie for that. He has done virtually everything we could have possibly asked of him with very little to show for it.

He didn't bash him. He said he didn't like his pitch selection. I didn't like it either. He pitched like garbage. Ramon didn't pitch like garbage. I'm not sure why he's to blame for Olson not getting it done...again.

Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuke!

[McNulty]

Slump over.

[TonySoprano]

Use that force, Luke !

[blueberryale77]

Boy it was smart of Trembley to bench Luke yesterday.
