No. 14, Encarnacion/Sojo - The Baseball Thread continues

Ted Thompson has his hands full with the Brett Favre thing, don't you think?

 

Some nervous moments, for sure, but happy nevertheless. It's just too bad Jason Bay couldn't have been the last out in what would have been an 0-for-5 performance.

 

Wow. Wrigley looks as empty as Dolphins Stadium after the rain delay.

 

walkoff grand slam for Marlon Byrd of the Rangers.

Nice acquistion, that Damaso Marte.

 

Damaso Marte is bad, and has been bad for years. His badness was somewhat hidden by much worse badness surrounding him in Pittsburgh, but his badness is well known to those of us who had to suffer through said badness in his previous stops.

 

Hey, Girardi, Marte is a lefty specialist. Not someone who should throw 42 fucking pitches. Jesus fucking Christ.

 

You're back? Glad to see you back on your feet.

How's your eye?

 

Well, those of us at his present stop understand. Thankfully, Xavier Nady continues to impress.

 

Not a fan?

 

He also walked the bases loaded. Girardi has faults a mile long, but this loss isn't his fault...especially with Rivera likely unavailable and only the rookie David Robertson ready to take the mound in the 9th.

 

My eye is fine. The only drunken Cubs fans I hang out with are family members. And they know better.

 

Still, using a lefty specialist.

I know Geise is allegedly starting Friday, but Kennedy could fill that spot. Run out Robertson and save Geise for extras, I don't fucking know. Shit, use Rasner.

Godfuckingdamnmotherfuckingpieceofshittheyankeescouldhavegainedagameonboththeraysandsoxtonight. Fuck Marte with a rusty fucking elephant.
