Judd Sirott made me blush
because he is SO FREAKING BAD AT HIS JOB. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. He was interviewing Jeff Baker in the pre-game about what Baker would be doing if not baseball. When Baker mentioned he has friends in the FBI and CIA, Brilliant Judd asks: "Do they tell you anything about what they do? Can they tell you anything like that?" DUH.
My ears began to bleed at that point.
Just turn on WGN America

I'll probably watch
after the Cub game unless they are getting their butts handed to them. If that’s the case then I’ll switch to the Hawks. I really hope Burish gets to play tonight. He’s hardly played since he came back from his injury. :-(
if something really good happens I'll let you know...like they score!

is it possible (maybe not probable) that it is the hitting coach change?
Is Rami’s swing different at all? maybe Jaramillo’s(spelling?) style isn’t suiting him this year.
by Rhymenoceros on Apr 20, 2010 6:20 PM CDT up reply actions
I suppose anything is possible
but it seems to be more his decision making at the plate then his swing.
He’s trying to pull everything, and because of that I guess we can be glad the weak flyout was oppo, but……..

I think Rami is the lynchpin

they do. but hes also spent the last year + with a severe hamstring problem
think hes all the way back?
well, he's been on base a grand total of 8 times this year
(now 9) and already has a steal. So I’ll say, he’s back enough to give pitchers fits

Z is doing a nice job of pitching himself out of the rotation
who the heck needs a 5 inning, 120 pitch guy who basically ensures the bullpen will have to come up with 4 innings of work every time he pitches

Have you seen this team's offense?

Have you watched the last 3 games...?

yes I have. Keyword:
3 games

fine, it was only three games
what exactly in the last three games and today would make you optimistic.
This is what always confuses me. You come into a game thread where the team is playing poorly, and wonder why people aren’t more upbeat.

I know darn well why people are all happy
I’m just curious as to why everyone is so quick to burn it down. I’m sure we all know how long a baseball season is. Are the pirates really gonna finish 2nd?

How’s it going?
A LO PROFUNDOOO...NOO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NOO...DIGALE QUE NO A ESA PELOTA!! GANAN LOS CACHORROS DE CHICAGO!!
this offense is brutal
i almost feel like we should go out and sign one of the “top hitting coaches in the game” and that might help. even if we have to pay him almost a million dollars a year.

Soriano spent his only ticket to the past to teach himself defense.
But forgot to teach himself how not to swing at breaking balls outside the strike zone.
