only bad luck kept them from the Series last year.
I gotta disagree with this. Their offense was inconsistent last year. How many times were they shut out? Or score 3 or runs or fewer? They didn't hit at all in the playoffs. Pitching carried them through the cincy series and the reds kicked the ball all over the place for 3 games.
I'm concerned about the offense. They may have to make some deals to upgrade. We can find solace in the fact that amaro has proven he will make moves if necessary.
I assume you're talking about the five starting pitchers. Well if you must know, they've won a combined 571 games and lost 342....good for a .625 win percentage (regular and postseason).
please never use pitcher won/loss record to ever judge a player. Thanks
Took me forever but I got tickets for new York, love me some beacon. Going to get Philly tickets from the general on sale I think. Don't really see the need for 2 Eddie shows but have someone in NYC that wants to go, so why not.

I was checking out the setlists today from his aussie shows. He's been mixing things up more than last time around. I want to hit hartford and philly since both are saturday nights (I have to try to get it in before little fixers start arriving )
I'd love to see the acoustic version of immortality
Ah shit dude, completely forgot to say congrats when you confirmed it so, congrats.
Yeah, his Aussie set lists looked great, assume more of the new uke album will be worked in though. Either way, it will be great, no doubt. Immortality would be awesome, don't think I caught that he did that. Hartford would be cool, that's the weekend before Philly? Heading out to Chicago that weekend for yanks-cubs

Thanks man.
good point about the new songs. Guess it remains to be seen if that's a good or bad thing.
You ever been to Wrigley? You have bleacher seats? I LOVE chicago...probably my favorite city to visit (other than NY)
I can't imagine it would be too bad of a thing, an Eddie show will be sick matter what, I think at least.
Yeah, it's a great city. I went to wrigley when I was a kid but haven't been back since. Looking forward to it. Haven't bought tickets yet but doing one game in the stadium and one on a rooftop. Still have to figure the tickets out. Can't wait though. I have phish tickets the weekend before that so it's phish, yanks in Chicago, Eddie in new York, Eddie in Philly then Yankees old timers day. Going to be a great couple weeks.

wow, that sounds like quite a run.
I'm no wrigley expert, but I'd highly recommend hitting a day game. Great atmosphere after the game at Cubby Bears. I love day drinking
After much anxiety, scored 10C to the Tower. Sa-weet. LCD show last night at T5 was nasty.
Dude, I didn't realize this was at terminal 5, aren't they at the garden this weekend? Thats pretty sick.
Yeah, I tried to get tix to that but it sold out faster than an Eddie solo show. Mostly because a shiiit load of scalpers got their hands on tickets. So the dude was pissed and decided to have a string of 5 shows at T5 leading up to The Garden show, which will be their last as a band for the foreseeable future. It was awesome. They must have played for over 3 hours.
On an semi-related note, I stayed at a friend of a friends house in Jersey City. That fucking place HATES street signs. There was none to be found anywhere, or they at least chose where they wanted to put them. And getting back at 130 in the morning all wasted was no picnic to say the least.
Yeah, going to be a fun but rough couple weeks, should have added in that Betty ford will be directly after that.
Thanks, man. Yeah definitely trying to hit the day Friday game, think that would be pretty sick. Saturday is at 3 at Sunday is tbd, would assume there's a good chance that's the espn game. Thinking Friday and Sunday as of right now.
Why isn't Madson a slam-dunk to close games? Jose Contreras? Really?

Why isn't Madson a slam-dunk to close games? Jose Contreras? Really?
Because he's a spaz, and he really doesn't seem cut out for it. Maybe some day, just not right now. I like Contreras when he's on. And he doesn't get frazzled, especially like Madson does, in certain situations. I can't explain it, just something I see from watching so many games. And I think they don't want to mess with Madson in the setup role. I'll say this - if Madson leaves after this year for a closing job, someone is going to totally overpay for him.
No shit jp, I was looking at stub hub for the garden show but it was too much for me. That sounds fucking sick though, am sure it was a great time. Would have loved to go.
Haha, yeah, jersey city is a bitch. I used to stay there all the time when I was fresh out of school and it was a pain in the balls. Pretty convenient for transportation but not my favorite place.
Aweome to hear it was a good to time, sounds sweet.
Last thing I saw was, Completely shut down for 3-6 weeks but it's a partially torn rotator cuff. Not great news.
Thank god his contract is up after this year. Hopefully some of the young bucks can contribute in the pen at some point this year.
EDIT: haha, had to make a millwood comment. you gotta admit that some of the names they have brought in is pretty fuckin funny. It's like they're trying to build an offensive line with their pitching staff
Haha yeah, it's somewhat amusing. They would have been awesome 8 years ago. Just gotta hold them over till pitchers hit the block. Just dont want them to trade montero or banuelos unless it's for a legit ace.
I'm too lazy to head to the porch. Any of you dirtbags land EV tix?
Looks like stubhub for this guy :evil:
I got mine. What's that dive bar you were talking about? There is still a ticketmaster presale and the general sale...
I'd die to hear accoustic Immortality - my all time favorite song, by anyone.
Congrats again on the little Fixer.
Madson has a way of giving up crushing 3-run homers with 2 outs & 2 strikes in the 9th. It's really unbelievable. (although I kind of remember Lidge doing that in Cincinnati last year, with yours truly in attendance...) Anyways, Madson is lights out in the 8th, and the 8th is just as important, so might as well keep him there. The idea of a closer is the most overrated thing is all of sports.

please never use pitcher won/loss record to ever judge a player. Thanks
But he asked what they've won. That's what they've won.

Highly underrated. It isn't any yuppie/hipster doofus place if that's what you're hoping for - High Life bottle are fine by me. And dare I say it, the food isn't actually that bad for the location/price.

yeah, not looking good. sounds like it's gonna be sketchy until saturday morning.

i'm so out of the loop, i forgot about the presale. never had much luck there anyway. i don't even have the vs/vitalogy thing yet.

You see lidge?
yeah, unless new shit came out recently. not real worried about that.
utley is the key. hopefully they get him back in a month or two
you get your millwood jersey yet? haha

Thank god his contract is up after this year. Hopefully some of the young bucks can contribute in the pen at some point this year.
