Hardy and Braun are the only two non-awesome things about this game.

So, I'm not sure of the official definition, but it's not looking like a save situation any more. I'd be tempted to use Gagne for an inning anyway I think...but will Yost?

[tigerbrew]

Wouldn't mind seeing Gagne pitch today.

Someone has to take the 0'fers for the rest of the team, right?

 

[tristarscoop]

Officially skeezed out when Powell and Uecker talk about Uecker watching hotel room porn!!!

[bthurley19]

Braun is just trying to match his output from the beginning of last year.

Anyone else concerned about the lack of power from the Crew in this series?

NO

Nothing like getting a jumpstart on that run-differential crap that ESPN will point to halfway through the season.

Id love to see him pitch. Even though it isn't a save situation.

I think sending Gagne out would be a bad choice, gotta be hard to be fully focused when you are the closer being sent out in a joke of a game.

That is a good point as well. But would be nice for the fans to give him a rousing ovation to come in in a no pressure situation.

Well there's the first HR for the Giants this year. Drunken idiots boo.

[jhart05]

I don't want to start something here but...

 

Villy went 5.1 innings today.

 

Would people still be saying "nice job", if that was Vargas instead of Villy?

 

I'm not a Vargas fan, nor to I dislike the guy. I do like Villy. But I'm just sayin'.

[tristarscoop]

And Jim Powell taking a cue from the Reds game talks trash about Molina and says he wouldn't be a clean-up hitter on any other team. Of course, he promptly hits a hr.

[Oldcity]

I actually don't think Villanueva pitched well today.

[DrWood]

why did rowand get pulled? If they don't have him, they are even more wretched.

[brains and braun]

It's early in the year. They'll stretch him out as the year goes on. I doubt he'll have as short of starts as CV the departed.

At least Powell's statement was true. Molina wouldn't hit cleanup on any other team. It wasn't some stupid statement about a player not being clutch because he didn't drop down a bunt.

[igor67]

Why was Salmon Torres pitching today? If you don't put Mcclung in now when do you plan on pitching him? Turnbow? I can only assume at least one of them will pitch, but the most Yost thing would be Mota and Gagne for the 8th and 9th.

[crewcrazy]

The Detroit Tigers are now 0-4, losing all of those games at home to the Royals and White Sox. Their pitching has been brutal so far, even by AL standards.

[SeriesFinale]

Cubs down to their last two outs, Fukudome pops out

too true

 

[SoCalBrewfan]

Behind 4-2, the Cubs did some interesting gymnastics for the top of the 9th, moving Derosa to 3b, Soriano to 2b while bringing a pitcher into Ramirez' spot in the lineup. Fukodome, Soto, and Pie in the ninth for the Cubs..Fukodome just popped out.
