IGT 4/20/06 Traschel v. Padres

[A Boy Named Seo]

I found this doing a Kaz Matsui image search. I'm posting it here because it kinda creeped me out.

Doubt it. Holding him on opens the hole for Delgado on the right side.

Edit: typo.

[Guest martin]

he has creepy eyes, like when they showed him catching his breath in the dugout, he was giving everyone the evil eye.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Just tuning in. I say to myself, "Self, heh-heh, I hope Kazzy homered on his first... holy crap!"

[nymr83]

]Doubt it. Holding him on opens the hole for Delgado on the right side

i'm listening on the radio right now, the overshift isn't being used against Delgado anyway?

[Gwreck]

Probably not with a runner on? (I'm also listening on the radio).

[nymr83]

i saw it done last sunday with a runner on at Shea.

[Gwreck]

I stand corrected.

[Willets Point]

That Piazza's sure got warning track power.

[Centerfield]

Wright double play. Buzzkill.

Speaking of buzzkills, I hate these Mike dying of cancer commercials.

[nymr83]

Mike?

[Centerfield]

SNY has been running a series of "stop smoking" commercials featuring some guy named Mike talking about dying of cancer.

[nymr83]

as much as i support ANY anti-smoking initiative that seems a bit excessive.

[Elster88]

SNY has been shady so far. I don't feel even 25% of the hate for Jeter that most non-Yankee fans do, but three different commercials featuring him are pushing it.

[TransMonk]

Checking out some other images from the Japanese site that the Matsui image is from. Looks like someone's portfolio, but I can't read Japanese.

[Willets Point]

That makes Shinjo look like the Crocodile Hunter.

[Elster88]

Shinjo looks like Bruce Lee in those underwear ads.

I'm Todd Hundley!!! It's a lot more fun in the low numbers.

[nymr83]

runner are now 13-14 off LoPiazza on the year.
0-1 off Castro?

[Gwreck]

For all the talk of stealing on Piazza, Lo Duca hasn't been any better so far this year. 1-14 throwing out runners trying to steal.

[nymr83]

Shinjo was #5? so it went Olerud-Shinjo-Wright?

[TransMonk]

Castro has thrown out 2 of 2.

[Gwreck]

Runners are 0-2 against Castro.

Edit: Beaten to the punch. Again.

[nymr83]

he also broke up a no-hitter on sunday, Castro rocks (but i suspect that he does so only in small doses.)

[DocTee]

Not only is KazMat the first and only to homer in his inaugural AB for his first three ML seasons...

he was the first and only to homer in his inaugural AB in his first two ML seasons.

Let's DL him until April 07.

[TransMonk]

Piazza has thrown out 2 of 10.

Speaking of, here's a cartoonist's take on MLB:

This is the big Mets one that wrapped 2005. Pretty interesting:

give him a 1-year deal next year but dont let him bat until the playoffs.
i'd pay 1 mil for a leadoff homer in the NLDs, how bout you?

[Elster88]

Kaz stinks. Cut him.

[nymr83]

now you're catching on.

[Elster88]

And Beltran is pulled. Beautiful.
