It feels like a giant pair of pants are coming down.
ONE AND SEVEN.. I mean, really?
The game isn't officially over, but it really is over at this point. And this guy that is shouting in the stands is going to find my foot up his ass if he doesn't shut up. I don't even understand what he's saying, but it's still annoying.
Carl Pavano was actually not awful tonight.
He went six innings, struck out 8.. Did give up eight hits, but no walks, which you can take.
Four runs isn't awesome, but four runs spanned over six innings is something we can work with.
It still has to get better though.
Perez comes in and he continues to look like he's still finding himself.
That slider that he threw to Mike Jacobs really shouldn't have been hit.. But it was... Kudos to him.. Nothing you can do.
Then he loads up the bases after giving up an extra run and that opens the door for Chulkamania to give up the grand slam.
The offense again just not getting all the hits they need. Tonight was okay. Peralta squandered a shot early in the first inning. Sizemore let one go with a runner on third and less than two outs, but DeRosa picked things up with a hit.
I don't know why Joel Skinner sent Cabrera on that throw though. All the way from first? It's crazy, Joel.
Trevor Crowe struck out with a hitter on third and he did it rather quickly..
Then of course the stupid strike'em out throw'em out in the 8th, which pretty much signified the end of the game.
DeRosa had a couple of hits and the RBI, Victor scored a run and had two hits as well. Peralta, Francisco, and Shoppach all had hits, Peralta finally getting his first RBI of the year. Cabrera knocked in that one run as well.
It's just frustrating at this point.
Choo got the start in the cleanup spot, but I wonder why. Why not slide Peralta up there for that? Seriously, what the hell are you doing Eric? Peralta did it last year and yet you keep him in the fifth no matter the circumstance?
I also have to wonder if he brought in Vinnie Chulk as a death sentence. Basically saying, if you get out of this, we'll probably keep you.. If you blow, well, I think it's time to move on.
It wouldn't shock me to see them try and get Chulk through waivers when they bring up Aaron Laffey.
This is now getting ridiculous as far as this team not winning ball games. I'm not panicking, but I'm starting to get fed up with the losing and the laughing stock they are becoming. It has to stop and it has to stop soon or else this year will be another one we can just throw away, which is not something I'm looking forward to.
