Dude, you're blowing it

Another gem from the boys at I Remember Dome-Dogs:

"Dude, you're blowing it," was the favorite line of a dude-bra friend of mine who graduated last year, but Jose Valverde can congratulate himself on eliciting the phrase from me, with 96% of a loss tonight. 8 innings of shut out baseball by Chacon, only to have Coop pull him from the game with a scant 109 pitches...WHY? Whatever Cooper's idiocy, Valverde's absolutely dismal performance can be blamed on no one but himself. Last week I suggested that luck is a large part of the game, while I hold firm to that claim, tonight, Valverde made his own luck with abysmal pitching. Here's to hoping he figures himself out, SOON.

At the moment, I unfortunately got killed with Jose Valverde in my fantasy lineup tonight. I'm giving this guy one more game to right himself or I'm dropping him.

Buddy, given the junk I saw him throw tonight, and his career year-to-year inconsistencies I'd say, drop him or try to trade to whatever sucker takes him. Ehhhhh, I lied, hold onto him, he'll come around.

not too many guys come out to start an inning now adays with 109 pitches already thrown... these aren't the days of Al Lieter throwing 146 pitches in a game.

The battle between Adidas and the University of Central Florida over the brand of shoes Michael Jordan's son will wear has cost the school any future sponsorship with Adidas. Ring, ring. That must be Nike on the phone.
