Saudi Arabia and Libya were the source of about 60 percent of the foreign fighters
who came to Iraq in the past year to facilitate attacks.

Why oh why oh why was Boomer pitching in the 7th.

WHY?

With years of therapy I may get over the excessive use of B(l)ummer in the PH role, because Bud doesn’t really have all that much better. But our bullpen is typically incredible so Bud has no excuse for consistently keeping Wells out there past the 5th/6th when his stuff disappears.

That was an unfortunate game to be at. Saving grace was the free hat.

Good work holding down the IGD tonight guys. I was at both games, having made a very last minute (1:30 ish) decision to go, so I wasn’t able to meet up with everyone else. I tried to identify where they were sitting by listening for boos for Geoff Blum when he hit and looking for a section where the wave died. Alas, I had no luck.

179: Great points. The bullpen did look good to me, even Brocail, who struck out two and was victimized by a bouncer up the middle. I don’t share your frustration with Bard and Bowen, since Bowen is a back up catcher and is hitting like one (.232/.342/.362), and Bard is getting unlucky (.280 BABIP despite a 20.2 line drive %; he has a 20/17 K/BB ratio).

The Storm game was awesome. That top of the lineup is incredible. Antonelli was 3-6 with a double and homer to straight-away center, Freese hit the towering, game-tying homer off the Western Metal building, and Kyle Blanks went 2-3 with a homer, double, and 3 walks. Blanks’ double was a crushed line drive down the right (opposite) field line. Also, Kyle Blanks is huuuuge.

Amazingly Weaver suddenly got better. Who knew he was disguising a decent outing behind that 14+ ERA? How many times do the Padres have that bad luck of a lame pitcher suddenly finding his stuff in SD? What are the odds of this?

Bitter sarcasm aside, our line up is making me very nervous. Giles’ last 11 games: 178/275/178. Yes, slumps happen, but when guys just hack during them, vs. being patient, it kills me. KG looks like a AAA hitter. Both Bowen and Bard are looking like back up catchers.

Bell got totally screwed. Got an out, a strike out ruled a BB, a flair by Ichiro, a ground ball punted by AGon…; he deserved to get out of that with nothing wrong. Bad luck.

Linebrink’s pitch was well out of the zone. Seemed like a good pitch to me, unless Sexton is a notorious low ball hitter, then horrible pitch to call.

I am not upset with our relievers; they got unlucky. I am livid at the crappiness of our AB’s. KG’s swing to end our threat in 8th was absurd. I have trust in AGon and KK to consistently deliver good AB’s, but after that, I get frustrated.

173: It was definitely to left, he golfed it into the WMS building. Very impressive, as were Blanks and Antonelli’s shots.

[...] I actually said he should send Maddux up to bunt, Boomer is really not a very good bunter. In the Ducksnorts comments LynchMob was also calling for a pinch hitter so it wasn’t just [...]
