Ugie Urbina has been getting lit up in this series. Just happy to be up 2-0 heading home.

His pitch count was only at 83. Why take him out? He was mowing them down.
Numbers is lucky Koch got him out of that jam with the lead still in tact.

Yeah, that's been weird. He usually just cuts up the competition.

Game three match ups...

Prior vs. Zito
Brown vs. Peavy
Glavine vs. Lowe
Hamels vs. Hentgen

Are these correct, guys? Also, let me know of any lineup changes.

I had a dream last night that at one point had Ke$ha in it and later found me hanging out in a falling-apart Old Comiskey Park, so I had a good feeling about today's game. I need games three and four to turn into straight up slugfests though.

Carp is going to throw a gem. I just hope my boys' bats are alive.

I actually tried to seek out steroid users during the draft.

I kinda wondered if people were gonna try to avoid them. I wish I would've taken more. I think I only have three (Palmeiro, Anderson, Tejada), but there are some whom I can't remember for sure if they were users (Kent, Loaiza).

I think Kent was just a jerk, not a PED user. I tried to think of guys who had one or two huge years and went back to being bums again. Caminiti, I got Hundley and that random huge year he had. I considered Anderson but you scooped him before I pulled the trigger.

Darvish knocking out the top of the order in the 9th was pretty clutch.


Buckle your bootstraps, chud. Its going to get thick.

I guess with Kent I just can't remember which early 00s Giants showed up on those lists and who didn't. Also, he was a guy whose numbers were respectable but not great throughout his twenties, and then when he got to San Francisco on the cusp of his 30s & became a perennial MVP candidate on a team loaded with PED users, so I've always had my suspicions. He was a sketchy dude. Remember when he broke his hand "washing his truck"?

He was always a mystery. He, pretty quietly, put up some ridiculous numbers for a 2B. He always just seemed to be so disliked by his peers.

It's impressive if you can be the most hated dude in a locker room with Bonds in it.

Wasn't there something that went on when he was with the Astros where they hated him too?

Yeah, he was hated in that locker room too. And they had just as many (if not more) unsavory characters.

For what it's worth, everyone on Kesha's Pet Penguins hates him too, and thinks his mustache is stupid.
