August 14, 200817 yr No words can describe how loud i yelled and the sounds of my gum and computer mouse smashing into my wall. this was an exact relplay pretty much of monday night. bottom of the 8th with a chance to tie at worst and we come out with nothing. two times we grounded into base loaded double plays and i have lost all faith in renyel pinto. josh willingham in all seriousness should be benched. i just dont know what to do with this team anymore........all we f***in do is piss away games
August 14, 200817 yr a step forward, a step backwards...more inconsistency... that said, this wasnt the most painful of losses but the bottom line here... Josh Willingham needs to be benched, enough is enough there
August 14, 200817 yr This was NOTHING like Monday night. 6-9 with RISP tonight. Yeah, we grounded out with bases loaded twice, but do you really expect us, or any team for that matter, to get them in every time? Besides that one play where Noly didn't cover 1B, did you see anything were we made a stupid mistake? Of course not. Sensationalism at it's best. Ridiculousness. It was a loss, but this was NOTHING at all like Monday.
August 14, 200817 yr willingham sux ass, a fly ball wouldve scored a run. Hell, even a strike out wouldve been better. i just dont know whar should happen with willingham.
August 14, 200817 yr Their is a song i'm playing for the team but they would not listen, Forward ever, Backward never
August 14, 200817 yr I don't think this team will make the playoffs just from watching the last few series. We don't have enough bats, way too inconsistent, less than average defense, and a manager that leaves you scratching your head. We have had a good year but my expectations are to finish above .500 I don't see the playoffs in our future. A good year none the less assuming we fail to make the playoffs. :thumbup

The Marlins didn't "piss away" anything. The Cardinals played better, and won. As far as the game...I don't want to see Gonzo in RF, again. I didn't want to see it tonight, didn't want to see it the last 12x...he's not a RF'er. Stop the experiment. There's a reason he had played 0 career games in RF, before this year. He won't play the position better now that he's 40, and has no arm after surgery. Gonzo is not a starter anymore...so stop it with all the knee-jerk reactions with Hermida and Willingham. Also, tonight was just another case of why "veteran presence" is overrated. It doesn't help you put your pants on better than others for big games, and it doesn't help results. It's about talent. So for those of you waiting on Paul Lo Duca to be the difference, due to "veteran presence..." Don't.
August 14, 200817 yr Willingham didn't come through, Gonzo didn't come through. Everyone else on the offense basically did. Hanley scored twice and had a RBI. Cantu had a RBI. Jake had 2 RBI. Uggla got on base once with RISP. Baker had a hit and scored. Amezaga singled to put Baker in scoring position. Don't compare this to Monday. This was a loss, but that was a monstrosity.
August 14, 200817 yr Author brad penny giving up 3 2 out 2 run homers......and i truly beleive a guy like paul lo duca can fit in left and he is the exact type of guy u want in that situation.....he puts the damn ball in play
August 14, 200817 yr Why do people and Fredi insist on giving Hermida the day off and start Gonzalez. I know Gonzalez had a good game in NY but if he is going play he needs to play for Willingham. Every time there's a single to rf w/ a runner on 1st, its and easy 1st to third run. I know Jeremy is not hitting that good but c'mon Willingham is lost out there! If your going play gonzalez then play him in LF and have Hermida in RF. Hermida is batting better then willingham. Do we have anyone in the minors that can hit and play the OF?

Fact is, Lo Duca doesn't get the ball out of the infield very often...I doubt he would've faired better, especially against Perez, who was throwing 97.

You want to replace Hammer with the guy who was hitting .230/.301/.281 and was so bad THE NATIONALS didn't want him?

With bases loaded this year, in a very very small sample size, LoDuca walked once and grounded out four times.
August 14, 200817 yr I'm begging for Willingham to be benched, and I can tell you the last guy I want replacing him is Lo Duca. Thats just insane. You should be ashamed of yourself for suggesting that. The only options for Willingham are Gonzo temporarily or if Maybin gets called up, moving Ross over. Thats it.

August 14, 200817 yr Lo Duca would be a great addition he is absolutely killing the ball in triple A, bring him up!
