A meaningless game against the Midgets. Edgar vs. Schmidt. Oh, that's why it's almost 10AM and nobody has taken it...

I'm a little freaked out by them also. Especially that midget porn star that always used to show up on Howard Stern's show. I could figure out what freaked me out more, the midget porn star, Blue Iris (the 70+ yr old porn star), or the dude that liked to be puked on.

wow.

i can't believe we actually managed to talk granny porn, midget sex, and guys who like to get puked on, all by the third post.

this really is "the baseball forum that doesn't suck."

A midget clown would be REALLY scary. There must be a horror movie about that somewhere.

Not exactly a "midget" and definitely not a clown... but just had disturbing flashback to Todd Browning's Freaks... "one of us... one of us... we accept you... gobble, gobble.... one of us"

Midgets don't scare me, but I understand the phobia. Some friends and I always go to Vegas for the first weekend of March Madness. It's my dream to one year rent a midget to take with us. And before you say, "What do you mean, rent a midget?" go ahead and Google it.

Clowns.... I always hated the clowns. Of course, I'd always love to go to Vegas dressed as a clown too.

Melvin suffers from coulrophobia.

Seriously? Hey Byrnes, quick...... sign Bozo for the last homestand!

Here is the lineup that I'd like to see tonight:

CF - Young
1B - Tracy (11-31 against Schmidt)
LF - Gonzo (descent numbers against Schmidt)
RF - Q
1B - Jackson
SS - Drew
C - Estrada
2B - Callaspo (Hudson is 4-9 against Schmidt but he's not coming back till Wed)

I do NOT want to see Counsell or Byrnes out there. Counsell is 9-54 agaist Schmidt and Byrnes is 1-11 against him and has sat only 3 times since the start of August. As much as we've bagged on Melvin for running Gonzo out there every day, Byrnes has been out there more than Gonzo.

When I looked at the NL West standings in this morning's paper I noticed we're not ahead of ANYBODY!

Well this is the lineup we get:

Counsell, 2B
Byrnes, RF
Gonzo, LF
Tracy, 3B
Jackson, 1B
Drew, SS
Young, CF
Montero, C
Gonzalez, P

Melvin must think that Couns and Byrnsie are 'due' and that's why he decided to put them in the top 2 spots. With the top 2 a combined 10-64 it looks like we are going to have to rely on the middle and bottom of the order to score runs.

I can accept that Byrnes is going to play just about every day but when a guy has had a sub .260 OPB for a MONTH AND A HALF he needs to be hidden somewhat in the lineup.

Great first inning by Edgar!

he has been pitching like that since the 1st of August. I know him and Mike Parrot worked on a lot of stuff after being sent down. I think a lot of it was throwing strikes.

I am sick of Schmidt.

I guess Byrnes WAS due to hit off of Schmidt!

matt · Posted: Mon Sep 25, 2006 7:59 pm Post subject:

Now we REALLY have something going against him!

Diamondbacks are dissecting Schmidt this inning.

Great inning!!!

And btw, I love midgets. They're just so cute and adorable. I tried to convince my buddies to get me some midget strippers for my bachelor party last year, but they chicken out. I was very disappointed.

THOM: "You're really getting a bird's eye view tonight of two franchises headed in opposite directions."

I hear that, Thom. And it sure is nice to be an AZ fan rather than a SF fan going into these next few years.
