I think his road ERA is now under 3.00

I know it’s a frowned-on stat these days,
but a 7+ ERA at home and less than 3 on the road does tell you something

His BABIP is over 100 points higher at Coors than on the road

Part of that may be losing his release point at home, or nervously losing location due to pitching at Coors, but mcuh of that has to be bad luck too

Hi guys

For some reason, I was literally having nightmares about the Nats scoring runs, recurring dreams that kept waking me up. So I thought sod it, I’ll watch the rest of the game. Woohoo!

Great day to win...

Even if the GIants win 3 of 4 at Coors, we will still be tied for the Wild Card if that does happen.

Hello Giants, Dodgers.

We will defeat you, we will beat you, we will embarrass you, we will pass you in standings, and we will finish the season ahead of you. I hope you cry yourselves to sleep with the nightmares of the big purple enemy coming to get you. I hope you understand, it will come to pass, for there is nothing you can do to stop it.

Have a pleasant night,

Rockies fans.

Oh come on, you can’t expect them to be scared of Dinger.

Everybody's scared of Dinger.

Well, at least they should be.

Unfortunately, they are going against Gorzelanny, I think the Cubs will just have to outslug them tonight.

We're not tied for WC, ESPN

Anybody watching ESPN Baseball Tonight at 8PM MDT? FOUR diffferent times in the first half hour host Steve Berthiaume has said the Giants and Rockies are TIED for NL Wild card lead. Moron.

I don’t take too much stock in what the “experts” say. I know just as much as them, and I only watch those shows to see some WebGems.

And then...

Add the fact that they think the Wild Card is a 5 team race that will come down to the last week of the season. I agree with maybe half of that.

No seriously

Why do the Cubs suck so much?

Long may that question continue to be asked. Just not when they’re playing the Dodgers.
