Open Thread: Phillies @ Rockies, Game 4
by 67MARQUEZ on Oct 12, 2009 2:43 PM PDT
Email
PrintOK, Phils and Rockies, you are our last hope for an exciting series. Since 2004, there have been 12 first-round sweeps in 24 series' (counting the one that is still going on), and only 2 have gone the distance. Ugly.
Today's game features a rematch of Game 1 pitchers (Cliff Lee for the champs, Ubaldo Jiménez for Colorado).
The Phillies advance with a win, the Rockies try to extend their season.

How in the

I don’t even know what to say. Well, not without making a whole bunch of bloggers feel very uncomfortable.
Just know my rawr volume is all the way up. Wait, that’s not my rawr volume.
I'm here to talk about the past.
Thank God there's a game today
I might have to do something till six!
That's just 'cos the Angels, Yankees and Dodgers are killjoys.

that was quite a shot, that one
I’d be swinging at that pitch about now, i feel
surely the "what a play" part of that was that he broke up the double play?
or am I just being stupid.
probably that.
You know,
I’ve been thinking lately that George Lopez is very funny. I’m not sure why.

Actually George Lopez has made me laugh a few times
with some of his antics at the AT&T Pebble Beach tournament. He’s actually not a bad golfer for a celeb.
....has he ever hurt himself in public?

Can't believe anyone defended him - he's so bad.
Some motherfcukers are always trying to ice skate uphill - Blade.
Russell
He had a passer rating of over 91 in his last eight games last season, finishing the season with a 3-3 record with all six games being against teams that were at least .500. He looked fine in the preseason. If someone said they saw this coming, they’re lying because they had no evidence that this was going to happen.
The Ultimate Opportunist
by Rated-R Superstar on Oct 12, 2009 5:37 PM PDT up reply actions
I saw it coming.
We had a discussion about it if you recall. I’m a good judge of talent (for some unknown reason considering I’ve played less than 8 games of American Football) and can generally tell a good player when I see one. Russell isn’t a good player.
Some motherfcukers are always trying to ice skate uphill - Blade.
Russell
You saw it coming based on what? His good games down the stretch of last season is what led you to believe this? Was it his poor play in the preseason? Oh, that’s right. He didn’t play poorly then, either.
The Ultimate Opportunist
by Rated-R Superstar on Oct 12, 2009 5:40 PM PDT up reply actions
Search it, I'm positive I said he was rubbish way back when.
It’s his general play – the good play down the stretch last season was him managing a hugely scaled back offence. Couple that with rumours about a lack of work ethic and what I’ve seen with my own eyes and you come to the conclusion that he’s not a very good QB.
Some motherfcukers are always trying to ice skate uphill - Blade.
Scaled Back Offense
Well, yeah, of course it was scaled back. That was his first year as a starter.
The Ultimate Opportunist
by Rated-R Superstar on Oct 12, 2009 5:49 PM PDT up reply actions
It was his second year in the system and the offence
was basically ‘scan that half of the field, throw it to option 1 or dump it off’. That’s a huge red flag for a second year player.
Some motherfcukers are always trying to ice skate uphill - Blade.
"Second" Year Player
He missed all of training camp, preseason and the first half of the season due to his holdout. He was practically a rookie last season.
The Ultimate Opportunist
by Rated-R Superstar on Oct 12, 2009 5:55 PM PDT up reply actions
His holdout was his own damn fault for being a greedy bastard
Face it – Russell sucks flaming donkey gonads.
Hey Al, just go away, baby.
Russell
I’m not saying he isn’t a bad player now, but I’m saying that nothing coming into this season really pointed to it. See my comment from above for the reasons why.

Quick Elaboration

‘Cause I got some weird ideas in my head
About things to do in Denver when you’re dead
I was working on a steak the other day
And I saw Waddy in the Rattlesnake Cafe
Dressed in black, tossing back a shot of rye
Finding things to do in Denver when you die
You won’t need a cab to find a priest
Maybe you should find a place to stay
Some place where they never change the sheets
And you just roll around Denver all day
LeRoy says there’s something you should know
Not everybody has a place to go
And home is just a place to hang your head
And dream of things to do in Denver when you’re dead

"Bobby Crosby at third is a bit of an adventure. And not like, here’s some hidden treasure, what fun. More like, gah! poison ants!" --alea iacta est
Here's why in the A's situation
its better to have wallace than cargon. It much easier in recent yrs for A’s to produce and find serviceable OFs either through draft or trade. Trading cargon looks worse due to the A’s treatment and use of cunningham/buck who i think can be solid/above avg type players if given a chance.
3b has been nothing the last 3 yrs and good 3b are scarce in the trade market. Also maybe blame the A’s for not making it a draft priority. Unless you want to resign kennedy or still have hannahan/baisley as the best options we’ve seen
Me too crap!
