Lots of good pitching matchups going on right now:
Billingsley/Hamels
Verlander/Baker
Josh Johnson/other
King Felix/other
other ex-Cub/Dempster
First 4 pitchers listed have allowed less than one runner per inning through 4. And Verlander with 9Ks, but already at 67 pitches. So no CG for him today.
EDIT 1:48PM
Since Kei has upped the ante on these commentary posts by adding pictures, here's one:

actually jjohnson with 2 baserunners an inning
ReplyDeletefielder homerun
ReplyDeleteand miggy ground rule double in a span of 5 seconds
also ive got baker getting blown up for me in another league
verlander is on fire now w/ 11Ks though he's got mauer morneau and evil-looking KUBEL up next
ReplyDeleteLORD MIGGY figured baker out, you got 3 Ks 2 from lord miggy swinging through wildly
all these tiger busters busting out in that game!!!
haha yes!!! i was so confused when i saw the padres pitcher, i thought dempster was taken out in the first inning
ReplyDeletehopefully verlander arm stiffens up while watching tigers offense explode
ReplyDeleteThat photo is amazing. Coincidentally, I was just comparing pictures of Kerry Wood (DROPPED) and Ryan Franklin (ADDED) and fretting about the overall eye-pleasingness of my team, but I think they're about equal. If nothing else, Franklin is a slight upgrade. I'll post photos tonight after the games are over, so as to not distract from the action.
ReplyDeleteCASEY BLAKE 2/2. His breakout year....

ReplyDeletea bit late, but this headline pleases me
Verlander to Indians: WE MEET AGAINblake has been swinging a hot bat lately
also magic wandy has a 3 run lead before taking the mound for mordo
if he gets a solid start today then hes the real deal this year
historically a bad road pitcher and jimenez is the only pitcher who does well in the mountains
ok screw it
ReplyDeleteit looked good in the preview
kei-
ReplyDeletewhat other evil-looking players can you identify besides KUBEL
i may have to add them to my watch list
KERRY WOOD. Evil.
ReplyDeleteMatt Kemp triple. Matt Kemmmmmmmp!
ReplyDeleteThe Dodgers need to get a photo of X. Paul.
ReplyDeleteDodgers on a roll!
Man Mountain almost blew it. Whew.
ReplyDeleteWhen Papi finally gets a HR, this blog is going to go nuts.
wow he hadnt given up a run in more than a month
ReplyDeleteit seems like every time i nap during a dodgers game matt kemp triples or hits a home run
i need to start rearranging my sleep schedule around dodgers start times
actually now that im awake i fully expect kemp to ground out
ME OF LITTLE FAITH
ReplyDeleteMatt Kemp double. MATTTT KEMMMMP! I love him.
ReplyDeleteThe Dodgers have my favorite Stat Tracker mugshots. Loney looks confused, Kemp is smirking and Manny's isn't even a mugshot (like he forgot to show up on team picture day). And, of course, Casey Blake looks like the Platonic ideal of "Rad Midwestern Dad."
ReplyDeleteTorii Hunter ON FIRE.
ReplyDeletebases
ReplyDeleteloaded
for
BIG PAPI
nooooooooooooo
ReplyDeleteI know. I bet he looks so sad.
ReplyDeleteugh
ReplyDeleteortiz left 11 men on base
more than entire angels team
Wow, Indians crushing the Rays. Who would've thought?
ReplyDeleteLook at Asdrubal Cabrera...4/5! Good pick-up, Mordecai.
I don't know if this link will work in the future, but how about burnt orange dude HIT BY BAT.
ReplyDeleteThe guy behind him is trying so hard not to laugh....
ReplyDeleteWHERE'S REYES, MY 2ND BEST ARBITUP SLAAAYAARRR?!
ReplyDeleteHot-boxing the locker room with Carlos Delgao while they prank call Manny Ramirez is my guess. Oof. Rough sit.
ReplyDeleteReyes is learning how to fucking WALK THE WALK, not that he's in a slump or anything. There is an element of needing to get over himself, though.
ReplyDeleteMore importantly, WHERE'S OHMURPH???
There he is, before the game. I swear there's a Getty Images photographer who has a big crush on the Mets.
ReplyDeleteYes, I've noticed strong Getty Image biases towards or against certain teams and players. Nick Swisher? In 8 billion photos no matter what. Grady Sizemore? Never pictured.
ReplyDeleteOK I'm very excited about the mets rally in the 9th. Unfortunately arbitup has D Wright so now I am being rocked (4SBs STFU). I believe my emotions are still leaning towards real-life (though it is a game?) interests over virtual/fantastic (tertiary reality?) ones. FROD has a save opp, so that is probably ruining my pretense of rationality.
ReplyDeletejust noticed that each of the three matchups
ReplyDeletewith at least one non-robot participant
are 6-5 with saves being tied at 1
looks to be an exciting weekend
fantasy/reality-wise
Speaking of robots v. machines, I saw a preview for the new Terminator and it looks AWESOME.
ReplyDeleteThe End Begins.
I meant humans v. machines.
ReplyDeleteI may have just revealed myself to be a robot.
