missed the entire game.........
or atleast the part that mattered…but 6ER for Hokie Joe……..is no bueno…..good news Kendry and Juan getting hits in their only at bats.
norcaliangelsfan - August 22, 2008
Nope. Nothing.
Mayheminthehood - August 22, 2008
Sandy
for botg
AnaheimHalos61 - August 22, 2008
Positive? thread was pleasant to hang around. No death threats-always a +
ladybug - August 22, 2008
No death threats to others...
a few self induced death threats though. Do they count?
The game was a waste…bad pitching, no offense. The only positive was that it didn’t drag out long for a 9-0 game.
sothball - August 22, 2008
We're still healthy and our magic number lowered
BOTG, Saunders i suppose, not that he had any help
Chone's Chonies - August 22, 2008
BOTG goes toooooooo
The Twins
Thats right what a bunch of idiots thinking they needed to score that many runs to win. They could have been out with the OC hoochies Rev spoke of much sooner. Wasted a bunch of runs for nothing.
Angel Aviator - August 22, 2008
We always give the Panther to Hokie when he wins...
I guess we should give him the BOTG when he loses. I mean, it’s not like we can give it to the entire offense. Although I would like to
KingF15h - August 22, 2008
we really sucked tonight
but i totally got a free HH shirt!
thanks Juan Rivera!!!
oh yeah, thanks to cupie too!
howiestheman - August 22, 2008
oh yeah
my BOTG goes to Mathis and here’s my reasoning:
1) he went 0-3 with 2 Ks. again.
2) if he’s in there for his defense, it didn’t work… note the ball into center field in the 3rd inning. Luckily, HGH and Figgins bailed him outta that one.
3) Napoli gave up 1 run behind the plate last night. Mathis gave up 9 runs tonight (10 if you count the last run from last night). If we’re putting THAT MUCH stock in CERA… there ya go. I’ve said i before… our pitchers have been increasingly crappy with him behind the plate. I honestly think they respond better to Napoli.
howiestheman - August 22, 2008
FREE? when did cupie start handing them out gratis?
ladybug - August 23, 2008
take a look at the game day thread from yesterday
in the ninth, he said over/under .5 hits for us.
i said over.
he said that if we got 1 hit, then he’d send me a free HH shirt.
juan rivera hit a single.
i win free shirt.
howiestheman - August 23, 2008
nice! I'm sending mine to hh
I still have the tank top one
ladybug - August 23, 2008
this is my second one lol
i already have the white “ringer” shirt, so cupie’s sending me the red one!
howiestheman - August 23, 2008
BOTG HGH/Mathis
Positive = We got to see what Kendry would have done in last nights game when Stupid Scioscia took him out for a bunting S-Rod.
Riveras hit was a positive too.
Negatives We loose every game that either HGH or Speier play. Oh and Mathis is still a piece of crap with his bat and Defense.
acuda27 - August 22, 2008
agreed on the Kendry note
and Rivera actually had 2 hits.
i think i’m gonna start the “Send Mathis back to Salt Lake” campaign
howiestheman - August 22, 2008
Mathis for BOTG
Obama for blame of the year for handing the VP slot to Biden.
Caseys Kiss of Death - August 22, 2008
did he actually do it?
howiestheman - August 22, 2008
according to CNN he did
norcaliangelsfan - August 22, 2008
hahaha yes!
as long as McCain doesn’t do anything stupid, he’s in
howiestheman - August 22, 2008
I wouldn't go that far
but I find it odd that he just picked the man who called him a “clean, articulate black man” as his V.P.
Caseys Kiss of Death - August 22, 2008
it's all about "balancing the ticket"
Biden has some foreign affair experience, and he’s older with more time in politics.
but still, it was a stupid pick.
i’m all for McCain, if you couldn’t tell, so I’m pretty stoked about this.
howiestheman - August 22, 2008
It's a completely asinine pick
I’m an Obama man if you couldn’t tell, and I think this is really going to hurt him in the long run.
Clutch - August 22, 2008
which is why i'm stoked! :)
but back to baseball… :P
howiestheman - August 22, 2008
some? 26 years is some?
44FAN - August 22, 2008
Meaning Biden's foriegn affairs experience.
44FAN - August 22, 2008
i say "some" because i'm sure a lot of that is useless crap that was all for show
as most things in politics are.
and since Biden is from the left-side, i KNOW he doesn’t do a whole lot of good. ;)
howiestheman - August 22, 2008
I hope McCain chooses Romney, Biden will chew him up and spit him out in any debate.
44FAN - August 22, 2008
as long as he chooses someone better than Biden
it’s game over.
i really don’t have an idea of who he’ll pick, but i doubt it’ll be Romney.
howiestheman - August 22, 2008
There's a thread over at Lone Star Ball going about McSame right now.
There are over 500 comments and they are pretty hilarious coming from Texans.
44FAN - August 22, 2008
McSame? Seriously?
you do realize that he’s pretty moderate.. and kinda liberal, right?
there’s no way he’s as conservative as Bush has been (though i find myself torn about that)
howiestheman - August 23, 2008
Moderate? Liberal?
Yeah, I guess on campaign finance, and pretty much nothing else.
Caseys Kiss of Death - August 23, 2008
you're the one in the northeast right?
by now you’ve been brainwashed, i take it. :P
but seriously… you can’t admit that he’s one of the most moderate Republicans today?
howiestheman - August 23, 2008
I went to school at Rutgers
But I live in Arcadia…David Drier’s district, if you want an idea of how my community leans.
McCain’s voting record is 88% in line with all other Republicans over his career, and he has a lifetime score of 82 (out of 100) from conservative focus groups for his voting record. If that’s the standard rate for moderate today, then…well, damn.
Caseys Kiss of Death - August 23, 2008
For a point of comparison
That’s roughly as conservative a voting record for his career as John Kerry’s is liberal, and most people couldn’t stop talking about how absurdly liberal he was back in ’04.
Caseys Kiss of Death - August 23, 2008
You know, it's funny
Our very own <a href="http://www.amazon.com/McCain-Myth-Maverick-Matt-Welch/dp/0230608051/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1219481030&sr=8-1>mattwelch has a book on that very subject.
It’s pretty well agreed by now that McCain isn’t the “maverick” he says he is—he’s actually pretty conservative.
This is what happens when two media darlings run against each other. Obama gets more flack for it simply because he’s the more recent of the two (remember coverage of McCain during the 2000 primary?).
Clutch - August 23, 2008
Shieze
Thought I added that …
Clutch - August 23, 2008
i said it once, i'll say it again...
THE TWINS ARE GOOD. ANYONE WHO THINKS THIS TEAM IS BETTER THAN THE TWINS IS IGNORANT.
THE
TWINS
ARE
GOOD
EVEN IF WE WIN THE NEXT TWO GAMES 10-0….THE TWINS ARE GOOD.
i said it at the all-star break, i said it three weeks ago, i say it now…
FEAR THE TWINS.
they’re good.
NoDakHalo - August 22, 2008
so these "Twins".....
are they any good?
howiestheman - August 22, 2008
Dont know,
I heard they beat the Angels which are pretty good and solid ball club.
acuda27 - August 23, 2008
The Twinz
they haz many goodz.
ViolaHalo - August 23, 2008
I think Shane Loux is going to work out good in the long run. He has grit.
I don’t really do BOTG, but if you were to twist my arm I would say Mathis for sucking tonight and many other nights lately. I have REALLY had enough of him throwing the ball over the second baseman’s head and into the outfield. GMJ does’nt even count anymore, he has no ability, so he has no potential to do any better than he is doing now. Hokie Joe has been too good all year to blame him for this one game.
44FAN - August 22, 2008
that pretty much sums it up
it’s too hard to give it to the Colonel when the offense did NOTHING to help him.
i hate Mathis.
you’re right… you really can’t pick GMJ anymore. we know he’s going to suck. period.
i hate Mathis.
i think Loux probably will become a pretty solid middle reliever/mop up guy as well. he’s got some pretty good stuff, and from what i’ve heard, he fixed whatever mental stuff was wrong.
did i mention i hate Mathis?
howiestheman - August 22, 2008
You know who really sucks?
That Mathis guy.
Caseys Kiss of Death - August 23, 2008
why aren't you dead yet?!
but yes, yes he does.
howiestheman - August 23, 2008
Because they only scored one more run
the requisite for suicide was two.
Caseys Kiss of Death - August 23, 2008
oh yeah, my bad
howiestheman - August 23, 2008
scottnak - August 23, 2008
Scott, are you sure about that?
I could have sworn that the Twins only stranded one in the first.
red floyd - August 24, 2008
