Have no fear.

It's not about Giambi....

It's the order of Gonzalez, Giambi and Spilly in order.

Blanton is going to get ROCKED with those three in order.

Blanton hasnt even thrown over the plate yet.

limitation · 07-26-10, 12:11 PM

On Rockies and over. Can't believe the over run dropped from 9 to 8.5. Should have waited till this morning to get action on it.

Dirty Bay Player · 07-26-10, 12:12 PM

Already - here's your murderer's row Smackdown. Let's see some fireworks.

miyakuza · 07-26-10, 12:13 PM

There we go. Told you Blanton pitching well is WISHFUL THINKING.

joe91091 · 07-26-10, 12:14 PM

Unbelievable and to think I was going to listen to NC and take COL...

lyon804 · 07-26-10, 12:14 PM

I wonder why the total moved down? Blanton is still trash..LOL.

HoulihansTX · 07-26-10, 12:16 PM

Bailed out by a double play.

lyon804 · 07-26-10, 12:16 PM

Blanton lucky to espape only giving up 2

HoulihansTX · 07-26-10, 12:16 PM

Blanton is not a major league pitcher.

HoulihansTX · 07-26-10, 12:17 PM

I should have gone big on Colorado in the points book.

limitation · 07-26-10, 12:17 PM

Like I said in other thread yesterday, gas can Blanton never had a shut down day this year. For crying out loud, even Jamie Moyer had a shut down day where he gave up no runs. With Blanton pitching, you can always count on him giving up at least 3 runs or more.

They should smash him all day......I did space out that Smith was behind all of them.

He will hit a homer today as well.

Hammel should pitch well.

GL!

mart59a · 07-26-10, 12:25 PM

Missed the play...off to a good start. GL

HoulihansTX · 07-26-10, 12:26 PM

Its a merry go round for Blanton.

lyon804 · 07-26-10, 12:28 PM

Philly better up grade there pitching if they want to see the playoffs this year.

jboy4 · 07-26-10, 12:31 PM

I like the Phils to come back in this one

HoulihansTX · 07-26-10, 12:31 PM

They are loking for Roy Oswalt, but they fukked up a long time ago by trading Cliff Lee for a bag of doughnuts.

True that. That was a monumental error in judgement by there GM Ruben Amaro. Like one analyst said.. They could have kept Lee for 9M for the entire year and Lee liked it in Philly and would have came back on a generous hometown discount. Getting Oswalt is not near as smart as keeping Lee.

Foggy · 07-26-10, 12:38 PM

I picked the Rockies last night for only one reason. The isolated afternoon game is almost always won by Vegas. Vegas starts the day with a big win. My favorite of all bets. The betting public loses this this bet time and time again.

Foggy · 07-26-10, 12:44 PM

Errors do not help the cause

TonyP · 07-26-10, 12:47 PM

The over looking good now

SprtsCapnGuru · 07-26-10, 12:49 PM

Looks like everybody was right....Giambi was a factor....with his arm

Foggy · 07-26-10, 12:49 PM

error #2

HoulihansTX · 07-26-10, 12:51 PM

Giambi is brutal on defense.

True that as well. He has shit the bed again. He is an example why MLB has moved away from this type of player. It use to be about all hitting when the guys were on roids. Now, if you can't field you are a major liability looking for a job now.

TonyP · 07-26-10, 12:53 PM

only down 1 lets go Rocks

Yea ask Jermain Dye.

The guy is better than 60% of the league hitting wise though cant get a contract b/c of defensive inefficiencies.

Dirty Bay Player · 07-26-10, 12:55 PM

Rocks were lucky to get out of that only surrendering 3. I was expecting a bomb from Ibanez, and Hammels hung a couple of pitches in that sequence.

lyon804 · 07-26-10, 12:55 PM

lOL at Giambi's 4 errors on the Season. What has he played maybe 10inn at first? I bet Pujhols dont have that many errors on way more chances.

HoulihansTX · 07-26-10, 12:58 PM

This should be a game decided by the bullpens

both starters have 50 pitches through 2 innings.

Good point. The only reason Giambi was brought in was to be a pinch hitter, but injuries have led him into a spot starter roll. Yea, no doubt Dye can out hit many outfielders today. Dye was a favorite of mine. came up with my team (ATL) they traded him before he hit his stride as a big leager.

HoulihansTX · 07-26-10, 01:00 PM

Glad this is my off day, and I get to watch bad baseball in the morning.

HoulihansTX · 07-26-10, 01:02 PM

I would like to put up a live prop for will either starting pitcher record 3 consecutive outs? 3 up 3 down

No -500
yes +600

SmackdownV · 07-26-10, 01:27 PM

There is your 3 consecutive outs Houlihans.
