and the bottom of their terrible lineup, watching your so-called elite closer get smacked around like Bobby Cox’s wife is pretty hard to tolerate…especially when it’s, at least in part, umpire aided.

Also, I have money riding on a fantasy league that Frankie just shit on.

THAT’s the issue

Actually, the primary issue

is losing to a divisional rival that, every time I see, reminds me of 1995.

Frankie just got tossed

that's a waste, throwing out a pitcher after he's out of the game

Hooters anyone?

And he even got to face the bottom of the shithole that is a lineup.

whatever, like i said, we're not gonna win 'em all

and losing to the mariners is inconsequential.

by ihearhowie2.0 on Aug 13, 2008 9:44 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Check gameday.

Frankie is 100% correct. Ump needs to be walking the street with a cane asking for change.

I watched the game on t.v, too

it was a strike. Not up for debate.

by Caseys Kiss of Death on Aug 13, 2008 9:50 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Well he had a 4 pitch save last time

and the in Yankee series… I think the last game of the Yankee sereies….

If GA wasn't so lazy the Halos woulda won the 2008 WS by now.

he's brought it on himself

asking for all the money in the world and he puts up a crap performance like that?

these guys aren’t above criticism, certainly not when we pay their huge salaries, and definitely not when they ask for more and claim to be in the same breath as Mariano Rivera.

It's 1 night. there are 47 other nights where he got the job done.

by melvintoast on Aug 13, 2008 9:45 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

he may have 47 saves...

but he’s hardly been as automatic as the stats show.
all I’m sayin is he’s been shaky for more than just one game (throughout the season)

by gdog009 on Aug 13, 2008 9:46 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Shaky? Yes.

Worthy of the scorn he draws from certain corners on this board? HELL no.

by Zu Long on Aug 13, 2008 9:47 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

for the record

I think this is only the first time I’ve scorned him – more a build up of some recent craptastic closing and the whole sum of his poor attitude tonight + gimme gimme talk.

I believe he's beaten Rivera head to head twice.

Why shouldn’t he ask for the same money?

~Till the Halo burns out...

by Zu Long on Aug 13, 2008 9:46 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

pls.

Rivera has been a better closer for quite a while longer.

besides, Angels own the Yanks.

WXRL?! what is that?

some sort of East Coast radio station?

stats shmats. Frankie still has a ways to go to be considered in the same category as Rivera no matter what the head-to-head etc. imo.

Yeah. Why should we listent to the objective stats?

Let’s just bitch at one of our best players for putting his heart on the field every night and hate him for asking for money that he absolutely deserves based on the fact that he’s outperformed EVERY OTHER CLOSER over the last four years.

I’m too tired to argue this anymore.

I just want Frankie to no more blow up and suck like he did tonight. capice?

what?

he was safe. did i miss something? the replay made it pretty clear he was safe

i guess for every “frankie hater” theres a pollyana “frankie apologist”

by ihearhowie2.0 on Aug 13, 2008 9:45 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

He was safe

but the leadoff batter of the inning took a called third strike right down the middle of the plate that didn’t come close to missing in any one direction. And another strike earlier in the at-bat was called a ball.

Didn’t cost him the inning, but it hurt, and I think it’s what most of us are referring to.

by Caseys Kiss of Death on Aug 13, 2008 9:46 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

1st batter. Homeplate.

Frankie struck the dude out twice!

by Zu Long on Aug 13, 2008 9:47 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

the next batter got the exact same pitch

and it was called a strike

To just about EVERY starter on the team
I especially remember Saunders going into the dugout up 4 and Tossed Salad blowing it
Lack also got one (or two) of those Frankie butterfingers
