Winston Legthigh Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I note to you that as of game six, I have as many hits in the ALCS as does A-Rod .1) A-Rod had a hit in game 2. You have two or more hits? You're Ichiro?2) Game 6? Link to post Share on other sites
The High Heat Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I note to you that as of game six, I have as many hits in the ALCS as does A-Rod . How many babes have you pulled out of the crowd? I agree on Springsteen. Link to post Share on other sites

thejokeexplained Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I note to you that as of game six, I have as many hits in the ALCS as does A-Rod . i'm ready to make my play in game 4 Crow. Please tell me who wins and by how many... shoot, just send me over the box score if you have it for both game 4 and 5! Link to post Share on other sites

Winston Legthigh Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Man, last night Mike Ilitch looked like some kind of long-dead ghoul who was trying to do his best to walk among the living by trying to pass as Phil Spector (the "Phil Specter"?) or maybe as the bassist in some kind of creepy undead British Invasion band.

Lammycat Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I bet, had Strasburg not been wrongly shut down, the Nats would have fared really well against the Cardinals.... Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jules Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Silly Lammy. Why would they want to win now? Link to post Share on other sites
parisisstale Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 It's pretty amazing what the Cards are doing after all they lost. Link to post Share on other sites
Shakespeare In The Alley Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 i still want to see the giants somehow pull this out, but cards/tigers would be a hell of a series, and a great test of detroit's dominant pitching. Link to post Share on other sites

Most likely, because of all those innings he worked to get them to the post season and a WS Championship. Was it worth it? Yes. Link to post Share on other sites
Shakespeare In The Alley Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 perhaps he also lost a bunch of weight last offseason and has an inherently weird delivery that can easily fall apart. i like the guy a lot so i'd like to see him return to form as a starter, but he might be quickly heading towards a second career as a bullpen guy.

gogo Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 He lost that weight after gaining a bunch the previous year. That cycle can't be healthy for an athlete. I'm still counting on the Giants bouncing back and winning the next three. They've done it before!! Link to post Share on other sites
Shakespeare In The Alley Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 probably why i, as a short and scrawny guy, pull for him. he looked great as a reliever so far this postseason, but last night wasnt a great outing for him. it'll be interesting to see what happens after this season. i hope the giants dont give up on him completely, but pitching's such a weird thing that its not too ridiculous to think he'll never be dominant again.

The High Heat Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 but pitching's such a weird thing that its not too ridiculous to think he'll never be dominant again. Dontrelle Willis. I saw Linecum pitch in Philly in July. Except for balking by falling down and forgetting how many outs there were, he pitched fine. Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Pitching in July and pitching now are big differences, though. My point was that he looks a little gassed and my speculation is the wear that's been placed on his arm over the last few years. SF exploited him, as they should have. I think they've even given him a bunch of short-term contracts, waited until arbitration. Smart move there, too, just waiting for the arm to fall off.... Link to post Share on other sites

I think his problems are mental as much as anything. Also, the spin here has always been that the shorter contracts were Lincecum's idea. The expectation was that he'd end up getting big big BIG money (rather than just the big big money that SF was offering) as a Yankee (or whatever) somewhere down the road.
