FINALLY! The only 3 games the past few weeks I havent been able to watch is Lohse's first 3. Maybe tonight, once again he will pitche great, but since I'm watching, he will get the win :)

Definitely. Hirsh has no control tonight. 3 walks in 2 innings and he's been very poor on his location, which we've nailed him on so far with solid hard hits.

BoCcc2832
08-22-2006, 07:49 PM
Does anyone ever notice on FSN that when a player hits a home run, Juan Castro sits down right next to that player? They just showed Hatteberg with Castro sitting next to him. As George said, he's looking for camera time...I think that's priceless

KoryMac5
08-22-2006, 07:49 PM
4-0 Lohse will be able to pitch with a lead for a change

If Griffey or Dunn just come around and everyone else keeps doing what their doing this lineup is as deadly as anyones.

That was a strike.

looking at lohse after he walked ausmus, it looked like it was an unintentional intentional walk

12-0 Reds on a 3 run homer!

Welsh should just go off and backhand Grande for saying, "Some things never change, and Prince Albert is one of them!"

Really, I'll rejoice if I hear sometime in October that Grande is being replaced.

After 3 innings every starter has a hit, except for Griff who is officially 0 for 0 with 3 walks and a run scored. Even Lohse is 2 for 2!

What in the world has gotten into Jeff Weaver? After dispatching of us pretty well, he's only given up 1 to the Mets in the 5th.

Living in New England, I get a little fed up with the Mets because of some of their fans, but I gotta root for them tonight; come on fellas!

Ha! As I type this, Duncan proves he's human by dropping a flyball.

HumnHilghtFreel
08-22-2006, 08:25 PM
I think it's safe to say the Adam Dunn is a very strong man.

Razor Shines

It's surely nitpicking when up 12, but Lohse has more walks tonight than in his first 3 starts combined. I hope that's not a trend that continues Sunday.

08-22-2006, 08:34 PM
Carlos Delgottit!!!! Grand Slam... 7-5 Cards...

I love it! Now we've got a game again in Shea!

STL fans were saying on their board before the game that Weaver should just walk Delgado every at bat considering their history. Carlos came in for his career hitting 17-35 against Weaver with 7 extra base hits. Looks like TLR should have taken their advice!

Razor Shines
08-22-2006, 08:35 PM

Baseball needs a rule where on super rare occasions a game is deemed official when both managers agree it's over! :D

Tonight would fit. It's only half over, but both managers have taken out key veterans to rest them for tomorrow's day game (Griff, Aurilla, Berkman, Biggio). The name of the game now is no injuries and hopefully Lohse pitching a few more innings.

It's surely nitpicking when up 12, but Lohse has more walks tonight than in his first 3 starts combined. I hope that's not a trend that continues Sunday.

I'd venture to say that has a lot to do with the cushion he's working with. I know I might not focus quite as much.

Scary moment in the warning track to get the 3rd out. Freel caught the ball on the wall but Todd H. ran into him at the same time. Looked like Holly's glove smcked Freel across the face, stunning him for a moment.

Wow, watching the end of that Met game was eerily almost EXACTLY the same as the Ross walkoff game. Quick first out, followed by a decent AB to get on, followed by a early pitch walkoff when Izzy's pitching.

1 Game back. Pessimists can call this a down NL year all the want; I'm enjoying the heck out of it.
