I don't feel too strongly about this, but I guess Scotty is the BOTG.

Shields

Sports Bloggers must first write their words before they can eat them, but when invited to the table to feast, decline the offer.

Fangraphs has Shields by a mile, BTW.

Next is Ervin then Figgy.

You ever feel as if your mind had started to erode?

Good point about the no runs in 15 innings...

but, we have to blame someone.

Shields it is.

Do you have a moment to hear about the Church of Fregosi?

Let's see...

How Shields manages escapes this one…I say it is Vlad for not playing today.

by BBFan1 on Jun 25, 2008 7:31 PM PDT 0 recs

but its always the last guy who screws up that gets the blame. Santana is a close second, but that might be a little harsh…4 runs allowed in 7 isnt that bad….its the walks that killed him though. A little more O would be nice once in a while.

Agree

last to fail is probably gonna be the Blame. I’d have GMJ a close second, being the next-to-last guy to fail in our last big offensive spot, striking out on what looked to be a pretty tough pitch from that 11 foot guy, but he’s gotta at least put it in play there especially since the defense has been terrible.

shouldnt be shields

should be figgy or GMJ for striking out against a porous Nats defense with the winning run on third

Shields

by ladybug on Jun 25, 2008 8:03 PM PDT 0 recs

I place the blame on Figgy.

He looked awful all night, including defense.

Shields did give up the winning run, but after the offense just couldn’t get it done all night. How many LoB did we have and who left them there?

Yeah, that’s what I thought.

Figgy

Sheild may have blown it in the 9th but Figgy had his worst game since off the DL.

Replace 24 with 77!!!

Bill Richardson...

Governor of New Mexico sitting behind home plate.

He cursed the game… shave the beard dude.

yeah...

while he goes on CNN and says that he has no interest.

I hear that he’s also taking up rap and break dancing lessons.

by Red on Jun 25, 2008 8:52 PM PDT up 0 recs

I like the beard, actually.

by matthiasstephan on Jun 26, 2008 9:41 AM PDT up 0 recs

Hard to go against my man here

but I’m leaning toward Desmond. Shite game.

Shields however, deserves blame for giving it up after we had it tied and did the double-switch and he was supposed to throw 2, maybe 3 innings.

Desmond or Shields. Not like that helps much.

Don't call me Desmond

Reluctantly give it to Santana for too many walks

by newchemicals on Jun 25, 2008 11:08 PM PDT 0 recs

I think LOB number is too large.

but I still don’t know who is to blame most.

Not belabor a particular point

But if a fielding error by Erick Aybar lost the game for the Angels or it was someone else who gave up the game winning hit [Oliver perhaps], the BOTG would be up as soon as the players were leaving the field, last night.

Does anyone really need to make up more excuses not to name certain players for this dubious, game-by-game honor?

by BBFan1 on Jun 26, 2008 11:03 AM PDT 0 recs

When Aybar lost the game on a fielding error Shields took the BOTG

When I miss most of the game

I like a little input. If you want to call that an excuse, go ahead.

Nut for you oh BBFan1, if you want to pay me $12 an hour to watch every minute of every game, I can give you the service you are bitching about not having delivered to you for free.

Capiche?
