- Pronk already has 3 homers this year. Maybe he just needed a few years to adjust to playing without steroids. Youngster David Purcey of the Jays had 10K in 4.2IP. Don't go picking him up in your fantasy leagues, minor league numbers show a crazy high walk rate.
- Brandon Inge in flourashing with 4 home runs now that he doesnt have to play catcher/CF anymore. Dont trust Millwood's fast start, as the summers in texas are humid and the homers abundent
- Pirates turn the triple play, however no answer to Harang's 3 hit shutout. Harang has thrown 230 pitches his first two starts. Dusty will never learn. Moron. MLB has no pitching depth solely due to Dusty. He's the Jack Bauer of baseball
- Josh Johnson complete game outduals Santana's 7IP 13K performance.
- Jeff Francoeur has a new batting stance, still hitting .240. Proving once again that plate discipline is the best metric of hitters. Elijah Dukes sighting equals 3 RBI
- News flask. Adam Eaton has never, ever been good. Why do teams keep trading for him/giving him 40 million dollars. Eaton and Brett Tomko need to hook up and make the world's worst pitching combo
- Twins need Mauer, now. They score a run, increasing their loss run average to 0.5. White Sox hit some homers get some pitching win the game
- Maybe I missed something but why the frick wasnt Rivera closing the Yankee's game today? Some guy named Coke blows the lead, and the anemic Royals get another win.
- Add Kyle Lohse to the list of Cardinal starters to throw scoreless outings. Complete game 3 hitter
- Corpas and Street combine to blow a win against the Phils as Chase Utley and Matt Stairs muscle up. Wonder if it was an ass hammering situation?
- Not only is David Ortiz not hitting, he got thrown out stealing. Why the frick is he stealing? Beckett throws a ball near Abreu's head. Torii hunter goes insane, touches an umpire, will be suspended. Also, how expensive is the Angles outfield. Vlad 15 mil. Torii 18 mil. Matthews Jr. 10 mil. Abreu 5 mil. Rivera 5 mil. 53 million just doesnt buy what it once did
- Bedard outduels Cahill 1-0. Both guys started for my fantasy team. I'm happy :)
- Tim Lincecum gets hit hard again by the Padres. Break up the Padres!!!
- Juan Pierre got the start over Matt Kemp. That should never happen. Dodgers still win behind Randy Wolf. Wolf had a following back in Philly called the wolf pack. Looks like it's back
- Cubs score 4 runs in the 4th on 4 bases loaded walks. Soriano hits another solo leadoff home run. And Reed Johnson makes the first of many memorable plays for the Cubs season. Robbing Fielder of a grand slam by climbing the right field wall. A-freakin-mazing!
We are four humble men who love sports, but hate sports commentary. Peter Gammons is our hero and John Madden is our enemy. If you were to ask us our purpose, our answer would be simple: "We are forever locked in Mortal Kombat for the souls of sports fans everywhere. Statistics are our science and 'the immeasurable character of men' is the obsolete religion of blind faith. Our job is to prove that God doesn't exist and that athletes are merely cold, metal machines with no hearts or souls."

Box Score Tonight: April 12
Today's theme will be complete (or near complete) games
I like the running gag 'Break the Padres up'
ReplyDeleteNow that these posts don't have generalizations in them, they're entertaining AND informative.
You need to have like "Box Score" or something as a tag on all these post so at the end of the year I can read through 160 some odd Bright One box score opinions.
Keep up the good work!
