Who sucks more?

Corpas or Redman?

We're all going to die!

Corpas

At least Redman has had good innings at various points.

yep, that's true.

Corpas

At least we were expecting him to be good.

This is painful to type.

Corpas: 0-2, 8.62 ERA, 6 K in 15.1 IP

Redman: 2-2, 7.42 ERA, 15 K in 27.1 IP

I’ll take Corpas.

is that a trick question?

"How to Maintain Your Self-Image While Proving To Your Employer That You Didn't Deserve That Contract"

A new book from acclaimed author Barry Zito, with forewords by Manuel Corpas and Mike Hampton.

The “Collector’s Edition” has a special epilogue, entitled “The GM’s Perspective,” by Isiah Thomas.

Hard cover.

Inflicts maximum damage when you hit yourself with it repeatedly, as I am seriously inclined to do right now.

I do not want to see Manny pitch another

inning, another batter, until somebody does something the heck about it. He sucks worse than Chacon in his (non)glory days.

They're just getting pummeled by NLWest Teams

last year they had the best division record and this years they cannot win.

1 on, Hawpe hitting, 0 outs, down 11 to 6 & 6 outs left.....

times like these I wish we still had the Blake Street Bombers & the E-Train with us

At this rate, we should trade Atkins to a good team since he doesn’t deserve this?

Always a chance for a rally I guess.

This team—they INSIST on giving me a tiny ray of hope, don’t they?

They're five runs down

Don’t tear any – - um…. vocal cords. I’d be much more excited if we were still within a run. Thanks so much, Manny.

He's had an out of body experience today

as he hasn’t made an out yet. I’m sure he’ll be back to his old self shortly.

Now they continue to hit. Thanks again for not pitching Bucky, Hurdle. It’s just those little things you do every day to make us love you.

Bucky up in the pen

Much too late… but I guess it makes more sense to pitch him with a five run defecit instead of a one run defecit.

Didn't Corpas skip AAA?

It might do him a lot of good to go down to the Springs for a while. He’s not helping anyone where he is now.

if AAA doesn't help Manny then

can we just send him to the Moon?

The notorious pitcher's park of Security Service Field

has been unkind to the psyches of many promising young Rockies relievers. I’d prefer Tulsa (or Casper…do we have anything LOWER than Casper?).

Pitch to

Jackson Holliday.?Well, that may not be too good for Manny’s confidence.

Jackson Holliday would TORCH him. Avery Hawpe would get in a few good swings too.

Did anybody besides me notice the clip

of Jackson playing T-ball in “21 Days”?

That kid (a lefty, by the way) has a SWEET-looking swing. Big, quick, windmilling action, and he CRUSHES that ball off the tee. Just a vicious swipe at the ball.

The question is: can he pitch? If so, Dan O’Dowd should get a bullpen contract drafted ASAP…

by Tyler Boschert on May 2, 2008 10:36 PM MDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

getting hit off of Jackson Holiday probably sounds better

then getting your butt whooped by anyone in the NL West and other teams
