MLB 2010 - The Second - B. Wood struck out swinging

[Headache in a Suitcase]

tampa is the best team in baseball and will run away with the AL East.

 

[PhilsFan]

Still (kind of) early, but I didn't expect Jose the Conch to be this successful for the Phillies. I'm really happy for him and really very pleasantly surprised that he's been such a great option out of the pen. 0.63 ERA? Keep it up Conch, you old goofy Cuban bastard.

He's fantastic. So much movement on his ball. I love it. God knows we need him too, with both Lidge and Madson injured/with their heads up their own asses.

 

[PhilsFan]

Oh hi Boston.

Hello...Impy.

 

[PhilsFan]

I wasn't about to attempt to list off every Red Sox fan in here.

Indeed, life is pretty easy for me right now.

 

[Brandon Wood]

God dammit.

 

[PhilsFan]

I imagine Brandon's post has something to do with his 0-4 performance that included a strikeout and three LOB.

 

[mtnfox]

Go Cards.

tomorrow i will actually be in citizen's bank ballpark as the phillies play the red sox... if one could present a situation where one would kill themselves based on their own fandom, this would be it... especially considering as i paid for the tickets and it's my choice to do this.

love, it is a bitch ain't it?

 

[PhilsFan]

Who's pitching?

 

[Imperor]

Hello...Impy.

Hello 2-1 victory for Colbyashi.

We'll see how the Cubbies fare against a piping hot DUTCH OVEN tomorrow.

Who's pitching?

Dice-K vs. Kendrick.

In other words, should be an entertaining game.

 

[PhilsFan]

The Phils rotation is confusing because it got flipped from a rainout and injuries, so I never remember who's pitching the next day.

 

[Hewson]

God dammit.

Dud, you're at .157 and the other 3B Frandsen is hitting .462.
Could be one short career pal.

My "God dammit" was in response to Brad Fucking Penny hitting a grand slam against Piniero to put the Cards ahead.

Meanwhile, I just keep getting my reps.

 

[PhilsFan]

I like that dismissive "getting my reps" thing. How many other players would call shitting the bed for nearly two months "getting reps?"

 

[lazarus]

What he's saying is that Scioscia sees something in him that is allowing him to stick around and keep working through it.

The problem is, what's the line gonna be once he finally gets booted to the minors?

If this troll starts posting Wood's daily performances in Triple-A then we should start talking about Ignore Lists and banning again.

 

[Imperor]

News: Frandsen got another start in place of Brandon [sic] Wood at third base on Thursday but went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts.
Spin: Frandsen isn't a likely permanent replacement for Wood, but Maicer Izturis might be as early as next week.

'Twas entertaining indeed, but not the way I envisioned it.

 

[Hewson]

Well actually you didn't get any reps yesterday yet again. You picked splinters out of your light hitting ass once again while Frandsen went 3 for 4 with 2 doubles, raising his average to. 462, .305 points higher than yours.

Since your out of options, perhaps an outright release as a Memorial Day gift.

Funny thing is, the only posts you make in this thread are directed to me. I just searched your posts and the results confirm it. Why don't you stop trolling this thread? Or, make some actual posts about major league baseball and not me. I don't give a crap about what you have to say; you're completely uninteresting. Feel free to put me on ignore.

That's actually pretty funny.

Yeah, Izturis is going to get his AB's when he gets back, but that was always part of the game plan, anyway. Izzy is a clutch hitter and he plays good enough defense. I'll admit, it will probably be a platoon situation between me and Izzy when he gets back, but I can live with that for now.

Zoiks!

These aren't the same Angels - ESPN Los Angeles

Wood's status

The Angels appear to be going to the only viable option when it comes to taking Brandon Wood's struggling bat out of their lineup. They can't demote him because he's out of options. His trade value likely has dwindled with his struggles.

Batting just .157 with three extra-base hits in 121 at-bats, Wood likely will have to earn his way back into the lineup. He was benched Saturday, giving him two days off in three days. Manager Mike Scioscia told the reporters in St. Louis that Wood figures to be doing his work in the batting cage, rather than the batter's box.

"We're going to try to let Woody unwind a little bit," Scioscia said. "There's a lot of things that go into it. I just think right now it's best for Brandon to take a step back."

Cubs Good News: They win two out of three in Texas, Silva goes to 6-0.

Cubs Bad News: Why, WHY in god's name would they want to resign Bob Howry? Am I the only one who remembers all his major fuck-ups? For example, this classic:

[Imperor]

Peefer, you never told us you had a girlfriend.

Yes, I know it's hockey. But it's more pertinent in here.
