This is not what I had in mind. Maybe if we got a date in the thread title?

I believe the ump is blind.

GAME OVER

Bowden is probably better than Byrd regardless, but there's no reason not to start him if they're conceding the division.

[hunter05]

Odds of scoring enough runs off Greinke to win this game?

[Foulkey Reese]

Fuck you Delcarmen.

[bosockboy]

This game is actually over. Wow that was fast.

[TheShynessClinic]

This zone is terrible. Byrd has thrown at least 5 strikes not called.

[NomarRS05]

Great, there goes my fucking night. I hate these starts. Hate hate hate.

[SoxInTheMist]

Remember the day after the 10-0 Baltimore debacle? Yep, that's what I'm hanging all my hope on tonight..

[TheShynessClinic]

But that's a strike?

Wow.

[P'tucket, rhymes with...]

This strike zone is fucking bizarre. It's the size of a Hallmark card, roughly shaped like a metastatic prostate.

[nycdoc999]

Great, there goes my fucking night. I hate these starts. Hate hate hate.

Night's not completely ruined just yet - you could stay up and watch LAAoA manhandle Chad Gaudin and the Yankees like they always do....

[koufax32]

An out!!!

[jtn46]

Wow. Fuck Paul Byrd in his ugly fucking face. 3 runs before he gets a fucking out.

[bosockboy]

Paul Byrd with a pinhole strike zone is a recipe for a football score.

[Rudy's Curve]

STOP CALLING HIM BYRDIE

[NomarRS05]

Night's not completely ruined just yet - you could stay up and watch LAAoA manhandle Chad Gaudin and the Yankees like they always do....

Yeah not that it's gonna matter now.

[phragle]

atleast Bay can throw strikes

[hunter05]

Fuck your life byrd

[God's Cop]

NOW ITS REALLY OVER

[TheYaz67]

You know pilots occasionally show up to work drunk, which is insane, since you'll kill not only all the passengers but yourself as well.

Who's to say this umpire isn't totally shitfaced right now....

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

No way he gives up less than six runs this inning.

More like this, I fear.

[stp130]

Most predictable outcome in the history of baseball.

Game was over before it started.

[PeaceSignMoose]

Well I suppose being out of it in the first inning is better than another heartbreaker like last night.

No, it's not. I hate this shit.

[radsoxfan]

That bloop hit was the real killer. 3-0 was tough but we had a shot. Now its goodnight

[nycdoc999]

Yeah not that it's gonna matter now.

Still, must be fun for you guys to watch the Yankees find new and exciting ways to lose.

[Rudy's Curve]

I've resorted to a nice game of chess.

[Savin Hillbilly]

So, about putting Byrd on the postseason roster......

And yes, I know he's being blooped & squeezed to death.....

[Flynn4ever]

This inning you mean.

What are you, Carnac?

[jtn46]

6 run inning last night, 5 run inning tonight...against the fucking Royals.

This team got close to the division, but apparently the B pitching staff doesn't want any part of it.

[bosockboy]

At least the Greinke-Tek AB's will be entertaining.

[SoxInTheMist]

Sooooooo, anyone see any good movies lately?

[mauidano]

Okay so this sucks but remember we had an early 6 run lead last night and how did that work out? It's early and I don't care who's on the hill for KC. Fuck him.

[strek1]

Has Grienke given up 5 runs in one game all year long?

[NomarRS05]

Well I suppose being out of it in the first inning is better than another heartbreaker like last night.

No, it's not. I hate this shit.

This is just as bad. Now we're deprived of watchable baseball for the next three hours.

Paul Byrd = Kyle Snyder.

[phragle]

I'm so mad I'm laughing. Birdy? seriously haha

Where art thou Penny?

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Byrd is not very good.

[SoxInTheMist]

6 run inning last night, 5 run inning tonight...against the fucking Royals.

'B'? You're a generous grader, I want to take some of your classes.

[paulftodd]

Paul Byrd, you're no longer a major league pitcher.

Thanks to Tito he is tonight.

Too bad Nick green is not available for relief.

[mBiferi]

seriously, Byrd sucks pretty bad, but this umpire needs to be raped in front of his whole family:

[BoSox Rule]

Optimism time. Greinke is no Pedro. His ERA needs to go up quite a bit before he leaves in the 4th down 8-5.

[Sprowl]

This strike zone is fucking bizarre. It's the size of a Hallmark card, roughly shaped like a metastatic prostate.

The Lights of Zaytar... I'd recognize that scatter plot anywhere.

And Bowden was spent yesterday -- we don't even have the pale hope of an interesting pitcher in long relief.

[mauidano]

Respond. Man up guys.

[bosockboy]

For everyone pissed like me, just think back to 3 weeks ago when we were in a 3 team dogfight. Be thankful Tampa and Texas collapsed.

[mikeford]

This is just as bad. Now we're deprived of watchable baseball for the next three hours.

This.

What the fuck else am I supposed to do tonight?

Time to dig out The Wire boxset

[BucketOBalls]

[Reggie's Racquet]

Ridiculous. With our financial flexibility and minor league resources we should never have a guy like this pitching in the middle of a pennant race. Management is more concerned about the bottom line than winning. They are making tons of money and we have to watch Paul Byrd pitch. I'd rather give Bowden the innings.

[Hoser Awfulman]

Paul Byrd, you're no longer a major league pitcher.

Game Over.
