I believe that RFK holds around 48,000 for baseball. However, the Nationals haven't had a home game yet this year.

Also for the record, coming from behind vs. the 2005 version of Steve Kline doesn't actually qualify as a come-from-behind victory. I don't believe the Yankees will even get credit for those RBIs.

I know Burnitz strikes out, but so does Corky. IMO, we have better fielding and much better chemistry. Alou went on the DL today too. I got sick of hearing during the off-season how we lost 80 HR and whatever RBIs. We have Nomar for a full season (I hope) and Burnitz who will take some of that sting away, without the bullshit.

Jesus fucking christ. This bullpen is fucking horrendous. You can't rely on guys like Glaus and Green to hit a HR every fucking time to get you a head and then to do it again to regain this lead. Dbacks need some serious pen help. Otherwise this is going to be nearly as bad as last year.

04-10-05, 12:20 AM
If it's any consolation, your team is in a division where there are two bullpens that are arguably as bad or worse than yours.

How do you figure? Only the Rockies have a worse bullpen. The Dodgers have one of the best. The Giants is above average as is the Padres.

And I don't even like the Dodgers, but watching them the last few nights has been a blast. I got almost as wound up as Bradley did after that catch. What an inning!

It's amazing to me that the Dodgers can even be in the position where they are, while getting virtually no production from the #2 and #3 positions in the lineup. That's just crazy.
Deftones
04-10-05, 12:42 AM
Ok. This is where the Dbacks will be different than last year. They couldn't get guys home in situations like this. I think the fundamentals were pounded into their heads, and they will be much better in situations like this.

Glaus K's a lot, but when he's not doing that, he's making opposing pitching his bitch. This is the same guy you were praising earlier for hitting a homer in three straight games. And it wasn't as if the count was in the pitcher's favor. 3-1 with the bases loaded with the game on the line is enough to make most pitchers crumble under the pressure and make a bad pitch.

I'm pretty sure he strikes out more than he hits HRs, but I'd have to check that. :lol:
I don't disagree. Brazoban made some good pitches, and threw them by Glaus. Can't really make excuses for that.

Holy shnickies. I hadn't realized that Jeff Bagwell's HR tonight was the first Astros homer of the season. Jason Lane had one, too, but that line-up is scary, and not scary like last year. Weak, weak, weak. At least they're winning, but come back soon, Berkman.
