Paul Maholm, which is Dutch for "slop throwing lefty", came into the game with an ERA north of 13.

He has given up 1 run, 3 hits and K'd 4 so far through 4. He won't throw his "fastball" in the strike zone. He just keeps tossing shit up there, mostly through a very predictable usage of his changeup, and they keep swinging.

So I am clear....they know the changeup is coming, they aren't afraid of a blazing fastball and best yet, he's elevating it. They can't hit a belt high change up when they know its coming.

Gotta swing early to keep him guessing.

Yeah, Maholm was throwing strikes in the 1st inning and they hit him kind of hard, scored a run.

Being a smart vet, he immediately stops throwing strikes and being a collection of dumbass hacks, they keep swinging and haven't scored since.

Bottom 8, down 6-1 I'm going out on a limb and giving the 3 Tards.

3) Stubbs 0-4 3 LOB (will get 1 more AB)
2) Ludwick 0-3 3 LOB
1) Leake 5.2 IP, 10 H, 5 R all earned. Season ERA 6.5.

I salute your shitiness gentelmen. You've played the same game your entire life and suck out loud at it.

I missed this gem from Duhsty yesterday;

BAKER ON STUBBS: Drew Stubbs had three-hit games Thursday and Friday. The key to his turnaround?

?No. 1, he?s being aggressive early in the count,? Baker said. ?Everybody hollers about getting deep in the count. Everybody?s not a deep-in-the-count guy. The deeper he gets in the count the more prone he is to strike out.

?If it?s there, bust it. No more called third strikes and don?t leave it up to the umpire.?

The motherfucker has an OBP of .279 with 14 Hits and 15 K's.

Early in the count, late in the count, it really doesn't make a fuck all bit of difference when you swing if you suck at the whole swinging thing.

I use this Stubbs rant to remind everyone he was drafted instead of some dude named Lincecum by this brain dead, cursed, fuck of a shitty fucking fuck franchise.

There were people (many of the RZ cocksmokers) defending Miley, Narron and Boone.

A couple of those dickheads just have to play the old salt/contrarian card no matter what (Pedro, WestofYou come to mind pretty quick). You could make a thread saying communism sucks and they'd start the "I refuse to rush to judgement because I am a more enlightened fan than you" schtick.
