walters should have been knocked out 2 innings ago
so we lose yesterday with our #5 vs their #1 which is ok, that happens. But to lose the reverse game of our “ace” and their joke of a rookie is inexcusable

Mr. BoVandy,
you haven’t been here long enough to get to do that yet…so how’s about you pretend to not be a dickhead for a few more weeks and then we’ll see where we are. I trust you understand.

… you seem to be on top of things around here, and have some understanding of the way the site is run. Think Al would be offended if i tried to put together a greasemonky script for ignoring specific users? Has this been tried before?

Regarding the greasmonky script...you'd have to clear something like that with the sbnation people too...
If I were you I would contact AL via his email on the main page first before you do any serious work on it though, and then I would give me 100 dollars for this advice.

I really really really think
Z stops thinking out there.
No other pitcher describes the cliche of “throwing and not pitching” more then him.
He is an amazing Ace when he pitches, but when he throws he gets hammered.

But there have been times where he used that emotion to get himself out of jams, just straight up nasty pitches that come from him sometimes when he is all emotional.. unfortunately nasty can mean good and bad in this situation

Do you think that will continue over the remainder of the season or is it the
result of a few outings and a small sample size?

by N Oakley on Apr 17, 2009 3:11 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
well hopefully it's the result of a small sample size
but it’s over three starts, and is therefore still alarming.

In three starts, I think it just seems odd.
Like Hoff hitting .400 and Dome hitting .375 and Lee hitting .200 things will average out.

not sure what kind of pitcher we think Z is
but in 2007 and 2008 his ERA was basically 4. I’d bet it will be similar this year. Know alot of NL aces with an ERA of 4? He is the most overrated pitcher in league
