Baseball Thread No. 17: Let's Get Dizzy, Mr. Dean

Memo to Robinson Cano:

You can never go wrong by hustling.

No kidding. There have been some shaky outings, not including today, but he's by far their best option for the ninth right now. Up until today -- where he might have cost me some big money -- I've been real happy with him.

 

The Astros are protesting being sent to Milwaukee to play by getting ho-hit through six.

 

Is Brett Myers involved in some way?

 

I shouldn't be laughing at this, but I am.

 

Whoops, my bad. But you know what I mean.

And now it's through seven.

 

Kenny Rogers' chicken is getting burned in Chicago.

 

Any team that has to turn to Luis Ayala as their ninth inning closer does not deserve a whiff of postseason.

 

Yeah, and Leyland the cocksucker has left him in there.

Hey, Jim, fuck you.

Seriously. Eat the corn and peanuts out of my shit, you quitting-ass, lying-down piece of shit. Fuck off and die.

 

They'll be there, and he'll be closing their games.

 

If you're trying to rely on some out-of-the-pennant-race, sorry, no-account bunch of overpriced gas bags and minor league rejects to beat the team ahead of you in the pennant race, it means you didn't take care of business against a team that hasn't seen a whiff of postseason since the last millennium.

 

What are you talking about?
