IGT 4/21/06, Banister v. Williams

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I think the pitchers have pretty much done all they can to deserve a win tonight and though you can dicker with WWSB's management of it, the fact is the bullpen has thrown 8 scoreless innings on the road as I type, and there's games to win tomorrow nite and Sunday too. At some point you have to have faith that the O gives you a lead to protect, or you take your chances with the Julios and Zambranos. You can't have both.

Jeezus, Bradford whiffed the side.

[nymr83]

Bradford k's the side!!!!

lets get 5 runs so we can safely insert Julio.

If we only get 1 run i say we go with PEDRO!

[The Big O]

Oh Chad Bradford, let your rubber arm wing us to victory!

I really hope Julio is giving him batting tips between innings.

[Centerfield]

I think we should score now.

[nymr83]

Wright strikes out.
Floyd grounds to first base.
it's up to Nady...

[metirish]

Wright looks like shit lately...

[A Boy Named Seo]

Is the strike zone getting larger as the game goes on or what?

Maybe the umpires are tired? remember the home plate umpire calling a brave safe at the plate and allegedly telling john franco that he's got a flight to catch?

[Centerfield]

The whole lineup looks like shit. We don't even have a chance out there.

The Padre lineup isn't looking very good either.

[A Boy Named Seo]

He's calling the game like it's raining and he's trying to get 5 in.

[nymr83]

Bradford will pitch the 14th!

Pedro better go 9 tommorow...

[metirish]

Those might be famous last words about the Padres.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

This isn't gonna end well.

[Elster88]

Looked out to me.

[nymr83]

FUCK SHIT DAMN MOTHERFUCKER

[Gwreck]

Shit. C'mon Bradford...

[metirish]

Padres win....

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Like I said.

But theyv'e only used 4 pitchers.

but its not checkmate yet.
Bradford will keep on keepin on.

(the Blum single-----okay---im worried now myself)

[Centerfield]

Padres win the World Series.

Or so it appears.

[nymr83]

its a big game for them i guess, you don't want to lose an extra inning game at home having also lost last night with 2 more to go.

Pedro needs to throw 110 pitches tommorow regardless of how well or poorly he is pitching, if he's not doing well too bad, take one for the team.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Anyone have a puppy? I'd like to stop by and kick it.

[Zvon]

sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit.

Well, your not gonna win em all.

Coulda been managed with a Julio make it or break in inning and 2 or more outta Heilman.
Cripes-the guy was ready to be a starter. You dont have to worry about his innings pitched.

So, what are we?

11-5?
not bad

lol.



.................I mean oh snap!

[Zvon]

good game--aside from the part where we lost.

How do you use a pitcher for only two batters in the 12th? If you're going to use Bradford, you have to bring him in to start that inning. Why waste a lefty on Eric Young and Adrian Gonzalez when the only hitter in that lineup you should be scared of - Brian Giles - is a lefty?

[TransMonk]

I fell asleep at the comp during the 12th.

I woke up to a black screen and my computer had locked up.

14 inning west coast games are crappy, especially when we lose. Hopefully we can turn it around on Saturday.

I can't believe there's more harping on bullpen usage when it gave you 8 scoreless innings on the road. When should Willie plan for the Mets to have given them a lead? The 36th inning?
