In 37 innings this year, Wicky has given up 35 hits and walked 14. That means that almost half the time he's out there, he's probably going to have two runners on base.

The reason for this is that I needed MULTIPLE Jager Bombs to get through the first three innings last night. What a "typical disgusting display" that was. Today CC was quoted as saying "I can't tell when I throw a good pitch from a bad pitch anymore." Here's a clue CC, when you're ERA is over 10 in your last five starts, that means you are throwing a bunch of "bad" pitches. Zito was on Rhoda today, and he said that CC should throw his changeup more often. He all but said the A's hitters were sitting dead red last night.<BR/><BR/>How about the relief work from Betancourt? Maybe he should offer some of that "medicine" he's been taking to the offense. Even if CC threw a gem last night, the offense still only put up 3 runs, so we probably would have lost. It is hard to believe that we swept this team earlier in the season. I don't think it is time to throw in the towel quite yet though. 3 and a half games can be made up in a week. I think dealing Millwood is a little premature at this point, I'm not ready to give up yet.<BR/><BR/>Jim B is a crazy muther f'er.Rockdawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15392724225649893240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-1122393489955335412005-07-26T11:58:00.000-04:002005-07-26T11:58:00.000-04:00big like a pickle, i might add.i wonder if CC's st...big like a pickle, i might add.<BR/><BR/>i wonder if CC's stories are as good too. i bet he's never ripped the door off a car after an accident on the shoreway and saved the occupants.

The Tribe is extremely lucky only to be two and a half back after playing as bad as they've played of late. There schedule remains BY FAR the easiest of the rest of the contenders, so they are definitely in the thick. As for the TIVO, not necessary here, I just hope I can get up before noon tomorrow.<BR/><BR/>As funny as Wedding Crashers was, (an it was funny) I thought that it was too much of a romantic comedy, instead of a Porky's style comedy that I expected.
