2009 MLB Season Game Thread: August

[Bingebag]

An MRI of [Jordan] Zimmermann's elbow showed some "concerning facts", and the images will be sent to Dr. James Andrews on Monday, the Washington Times reports

Nats keep getting fucked.

Albert Pujols with the bases loaded:

8-10, 1 2B, 5 HR, 27 RBI, .727 OBP, 2.400 SLUG

I know everyones seen the numbers already. When do pitchers start pitching around him even with the bases loaded?

[DColts]

Great sweep by the Yankees this series, up 6.5 games now.

[Branch]

Fuck the Red Sox!

(except Victor. he hit an HR!)

This happened because you went from not posting in this thread to making the thread a Red Sox game thread on one random day. That is why. For true.

Anyway, ARod's kinda clutch, eh? Until he doesnt bat 1.000 in the playoffs or home every at bat after the 6th inning, then he gon get booed and then these games, it will be decided, were not important because regular season games dont matter

You have to pitch to him with the bases juiced.

You don't have to do anything

I am sorry, I will not talk about my team's games in the "general-talk-about-non-Marlins-baseball-games-here" thread. I did not realize something so ridiculously trivial could contribute to my team dropping 6 divisional games in a row. THE HORROR!

Is mawlincat proud of you?

Buck Showalter sez "lolwut?"

Using THAT emoticon is why you dropped all those divisional games.

[Branch]

Shit, I knew not what I did ;_;

Well, it's either you take the chance on him beating you, or you GIVE THEM a run. Take your pick.

[Beef]

Yep. Gotta decide if you want to give up a run and take your chances with what follows or risk giving up more to a guy who is currently incredibly likely to get a hit and usually bring more than 1 run in. It is a decision though, take your pick is right.

Phillies are going to put Moyer in the 'pen to make room for Pedro. Not really too shocking but I expect Moyer to make about two more "spot" starts when he faces us.

TJ Surgery, he gone

Heading into tonight, both Vlad Guerrero and Joe DiMaggio have the same amount of at bats. Kinda cool to see their stats head to head.

Looks like HoF numbers to me

It's actually amazing that Vlad's numbers in the NL vs the AL are almost identical average and OBP wise. The slugging percentage has dropped a bit, sure, but he's also getting older. Despite injury issues in a couple of years, he's hit 25+ homers every year since he was 23 and driven in 100 runs in 9 years (90+ in 10).
