Wrong!

I tried to get the story up

because I though no one wanted it, but noooooo. I still think mine was better.

Yub, yub!

by soco on Aug 20, 2008 12:19 AM EDT   0 recs

Don't delete it!

I’ll edit it and put both stories in.

by snakecharmer on Aug 20, 2008 12:19 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Uh

uh oh.

Yub, yub!

by soco on Aug 20, 2008 12:20 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Nah

the only good part was the title: Overflow Quest.

Yub, yub!

lol!

Okay, kind of geeky…. but clever. :)

Why?

Are you doing the recap?

Manny Ramirez and the Dodgers: Filling the dubious shoes left open by Barry Bonds and the Giants.

by DbacksSkins on Aug 20, 2008 12:20 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

He started an overflow thread, yo

You missed the whole conversation in there…

by snakecharmer on Aug 20, 2008 12:21 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I meant I'd edit this one

and put both “stories” in it to give soco his due.

by snakecharmer on Aug 20, 2008 12:22 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I'm aware of the conversation.

And, if you check, nobody agreed to do it, so I did it.

Well

you didn’t jump in either.

Yub, yub!

by soco on Aug 20, 2008 12:23 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I think next time

I’ll leave it up, and we’ll see who gets more posts.

Yub, yub!

by soco on Aug 20, 2008 12:25 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

This must be my fault somehow.

I tried to stay out of it, but I’m just so huge.

by Azreous on Aug 20, 2008 12:24 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Mine

is more descriptive.

Manny Ramirez and the Dodgers: Filling the dubious shoes left open by Barry Bonds and the Giants.

by DbacksSkins on Aug 20, 2008 12:21 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Hardly

the only difference was you were trying to post in the middle of the inning so you had more to talk about.

Yub, yub!

by soco on Aug 20, 2008 12:22 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Or else....

Rauch was having trouble until I posted the OF thread, at which point he finished off the Padres to end the inning…..

Get Skins!

Lyon’s meltdown is clearly the fault of his OF thread… :-)

by Jim McLennan on Aug 20, 2008 1:11 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Well....

I kept Rauch from losing it in the 8th, to give us a chance in the 9th….

Manny Ramirez and the Dodgers: Filling the dubious shoes left open by Barry Bonds and the Giants.

by DbacksSkins on Aug 20, 2008 1:18 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Of course,

allowing the Padres to tie in the 8th would have allowed Adam Dunn to smack the walkoff homer in the 9th….

AUGIE MAH BOI!!!

are you suggesting coconuts migrate?

by utahdbacksfan on Aug 20, 2008 12:23 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Rauch's eyes

are always bugged the heck out. It’s kind of creepy.

Yub, yub!

all of rauch

is a little bit creepy

Which is perfect

for a closer.

LMAO

The radio annoncers are talking about how patient Young has been this season. It’s so absurd I had Dr. Pepper come out of my nose.

Crud! out at third.

Nice play by Rodriguez there.

7-3

with Ojeda crossing the plate again.

Yub, yub!

by soco on Aug 20, 2008 12:26 AM EDT   0 recs

7-3!

Nice to have some extra runs.

Am I avoiding the subject, or am I doing philosophy?

by kishi on Aug 20, 2008 12:26 AM EDT   0 recs

4-3, Rockies leading. Yippee!!

Jenny

did you close comments?

Ah,

I just went to do it after the 10 minutes and it was already closed. I was jw who had done it.

Jim v 2.0

Does that

make you Jenny 2.0? ;-)

No that’s been me for a while now.. I’m old skool, ’yo.

So

will Jenny 2.0 have, like… tank treads?

Another full count to Dunn???

by foulpole on Aug 20, 2008 12:29 AM EDT   0 recs

Hard to think Dunn is such a power hitter. He looks dorky up at bat.

It's like living with a six-year old.

Can't judge

a book by it’s cover, you know. Vin Diesel plays DnD, after all.

Yub, yub!

by soco on Aug 20, 2008 12:30 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah

But he plays with real dragons…

by Jim McLennan on Aug 20, 2008 1:12 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

But

he’s HUGE!

Manny Ramirez and the Dodgers: Filling the dubious shoes left open by Barry Bonds and the Giants.

by DbacksSkins on Aug 20, 2008 12:31 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

He's big enough

that he looks like he could hit’em one-handed

I bet that the opposing pitchers done see him as “dorky.” ;-)

I’m sure you’re right!!

I bet

the ball doesn’t, either.

K……burn

Since Maddux left for LA,

Chad Reinke will oppose Webb on Thurs. I think Reinke has had only one start this year, a win on Sat. against Philly. He went 5 innings and 102 pitches, gave up 5 hits, 3 runs, 3 walks and 5 strikeouts. Webby going for #19!

by TwinnerA on Aug 20, 2008 12:32 AM EDT   0 recs

I like our chances against Maddux. It seems like we own him.

by foulpole on Aug 20, 2008 12:35 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

3-11, 5.47 ERA against us

Let’s just hope our offense doesn’t do their traditional thing, and make him look like a Cy Young candidate.

Am I avoiding the subject, or am I doing philosophy?

Lyon

For the non-save

WOOOOOOOOOOOO!

by seanprh on Aug 20, 2008 12:33 AM EDT   0 recs

Um.....

pardon for asking, but WTF is Lyon doing out there??

Or the smary answer:

pitching?

Well, it's gonna be totally awesome,

if we need him for a save situation tomorrow, and the next day, and then the next day, and the next day…. etc.

If you want him to get work in, pitch him on Sunday — before the offday.

Manny Ramirez and the Dodgers: Filling the dubious shoes left open by Barry Bonds and the Giants.

by DbacksSkins on Aug 20, 2008 12:35 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I don't disagree.

But it’s a slippery slope at this point. We might also not have a save situation until five days from now.

by Azreous on Aug 20, 2008 12:36 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

You're assuming one thing here.....

That we have a manager smart enough to think about things like that….

by seanprh on Aug 20, 2008 12:36 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Blast!

Forgot about that.

Manny Ramirez and the Dodgers: Filling the dubious shoes left open by Barry Bonds and the Giants.

by DbacksSkins on Aug 20, 2008 12:37 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Except that

as Azreous already pointed out, we don’t know when he’d be able to get work. It’s pretty simple.

Yub, yub!

by soco on Aug 20, 2008 12:37 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Is this

what your crystal ball tells you?

Yub, yub!

by soco on Aug 20, 2008 12:36 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

No.

Logic tells me that if you want your closer to get in work, you pitch him the day before the off day.

Manny Ramirez and the Dodgers: Filling the dubious shoes left open by Barry Bonds and the Giants.

by DbacksSkins on Aug 20, 2008 12:39 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Not that part

about needing him tomorrow and the next and the next. No one knows when the next save is coming, and so before an off day might be optimal it isn’t going change anything. Of course, it’s easier to assume you’re smarter than the manager.

Yub, yub!
