Good job Green. Thank goodness.

[TURBO]

So, the guy who RR has no faith in, is the guy who spoils the no-no...

 

Way to go Taylor Green!

 

EDIT: I love Corey Hart.

And suddenly it's 3-2. Unbelievable turn of events.

Corey Hart: "Are you guys serious? Dude's been throwing these meatballs all game"

:laughing

 

 

 

Way to go Rick. Cut your hair. I'm serious, it's time for a slumpbuster, and that horrible hair has to go...

[Raw Biz]

Axford up now? Is this a matter of him needing work, showcasing KRod in a closing role for a potential trade, or just giving KRod the closer's role outright?

[ninja33]

thank you dusty baker for forgetting that bronson arroyo is still bronson arroyo (and the brewers for finally remembering that). and for shifting against Aoki.

[TURBO]

I actually feel a little bad for Arroyo...

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

I love you Dusty.

Ransom? Why not Gomez who can at least hit lefties? I do not understand Roenicke whatsoever.

[adambr2]

I couldn't understand why the Diamondback's DFA'ed Ransom with such good numbers in AAA last year as a SS and great numbers at MLB this year. Now I do.

[ninja33]

Ransom? Why not Gomez who can at least hit lefties? I do not understand Roenicke whatsoever.

 

Ransom can come into the game and play short for Izturis, and Hart can stay in the game for Morgan (shifting Aoki to CF). I don't like Ransom hitting either, but I think I understand the logic.

 

Now watch it come back from commercial with Gomez in CF and see my head explode.

[burnzy24]

Ransom had no shot that AB.

[ninja33]

good lord.

[owbc]

At least Ax didn't drag out the torture tonight.

[adambr2]

Ah, now this game is back to that normal feeling.

[Raw Biz]

Man, Axford is just beyond awful this year. I will never understand why Brewers closers can never last longer than 2 years tops.

[burnzy24]

Wow one pitch....

[pebadger]

Yep, I HAVE see this one before.

 

Ax is just lucky his name doesn't lend itself to as many descriptive variations as does Turnbow.

[ninja33]

and then he comes back and dominates Votto like that. ugh.

[Dean Machine]

I would have to think that Axford has to be kicking himself for not getting his long term deal done.

[adambr2]

Well, at least we need not fret about how we're going to afford Axford in arbitration.

[burnzy24]

I would have to think that Axford has to be kicking himself for not getting his long term deal done.

 

Him and McGehee.

[owbc]

I like the Rays' strategy. They have had a different closer every year for 8 years in a row. The position isn't that special, there's no point in glorifying it. For some reason it's a big deal to pull Axford from the closer's role, but the rest of the bullpen roles can get reshuffled all the time.
