Marshmellow looks like he's trying to go New Jersey.

Mortimer 04-15-2008 06:46 AM

Wasn't Boro in Treasure of Sierra Madre?

Mortimer 04-15-2008 07:12 AM

What Boro does have is an excellent finishing pitching position.....it's throw the ball and then get into a great defensive stance.


With him....it's crossing his forearms over his face ..twisting the trunk and raising the right leg to protect important body components.

Mortimer 04-15-2008 07:17 AM

Ladie and gentlemen...please view our DiamondsInTheRough scoreboard for the Indians pitching change along with player photo.



















PITCHER........JOE BOROWSKI.......:eek:

Mortimer 04-15-2008 07:20 AM

Boro has demanded the players union petition MLBB to allow him use of a batting practice protective screen on the mound when coming in to open....I mean close out a game.

that's funny right there....i used to change the channel when he came in for the braves.....y'all should get used to it, because it will probably get worse.

What the Indians do is sign free agents for the bullpen....free agents who are coming off arm reattachment surgery.





His puffball trick worked last year.


It isn't now.

Once again Wedgie brings in the gasman to close out a game. Unfortunately for me I had the Indians parlayed witht he Pitt Pens -1.5. You figure the road team gets in at 2am and have their biggest stiff pitching youre supposed to win.

I was very surprised and obviously happy with what they did last year...but it is looking more like a year when everything goes right.




How do you spell relief again?

The Bid 04-15-2008 09:14 AM

Why in gods name did Wedge bring in the firestarter? Let Bettancourt finish up the game for christsake. Most teams have a "closer" most "closers" dont throw 82MPH meatballs down the middle to Manny Ramirez. The way Blowrowski was throwing yesterday I doubt he could have shutdown a singe A team.

I watched the end of the game and i agree, he couldn't get out a single A team let alone the most dangerous hitter in baseball

Mortimer 04-15-2008 10:35 AM

Pitch counts...set up guy...set sup the set up guy....left handed reliever to lefty hitters only...long relief guy......"closer"...and one or two more just in casers.


Man it's goofy now....and I agree. Unless the guy is tiring....no reason to take an effective pitcher out just because it's a "close" situation.


It isn't....it's a "win the game logically" situation.

that drives me crazy..you have your 7th Inning guy, your 8th Inning guy and your 9th inning guy..odds on each being perfect are slim..especially when you have JoBo looming in the 9th

Mortimer 04-15-2008 10:56 AM

I think he's done.





That's why they signed mix and match free agents out of ICU.....Betancourt and them are closers in waiting....but I would bet the waiting is over.

GBBob 04-15-2008 11:01 AM

Sparky Lyle?
