fridays interleague game of the month with the rookieee

[THE_ROOKIEEE]

my 15**** game of the month today is on the pittsburg pirates to beat the detroit tigers

pittsburg vs detroit

i said earlier this season that i like the pirates as a team to do decent in interleague play..... today is a spot that fits real well and with how both teams come into this game this will be my interleague game of the month....

we are 3-1 in these plays

APRILS HOME FAVORITE GOM (DODGERS) ~~~ WINNER
MAYS UNDERDOG GOM (NATIONALS) ~~~ LOSER
MAYS ROAD FAVORITE GOM (PHILLIES) ~~ WINNER
MAYS TOTAL OF THE MONTH (TB/CLE UNDER) ~~ WINNER


pittsburg is playing host coming off a series split with the braves..... i like the priates here due to the fact that they are coming in off 2 straight tough road wins and facing a detroit team who is struggling at the plate.. (.190 last 10 games) .... not only that but the pirates last series at home they swept the mets pretty good.... in fact they have won 3 out of the last 4 series at home......

the pirates also hit their best at home (.288) averaging 4.7 runs per a game.... against righties this year they bat over (.298)....

i realize that our pitcher is not of prime material....but he has gone 6 innings in 4 out of his last 5 games pitched..... his opposing pitcher rides in the same boat but his bad form is getting worse as he hasnt hit the 6 inning mark in his last 2...... so with that being said i will give our pitcher the advantage here today at home.....

i see the better team being at home and a small pitcher advantage will be enough to bring another gom play home!!!!!

15**** GOM ~~~ PITTSBURG PIRATES +117


i know that this is not my detailed kind of write up but i wanted to get this out as soon as possible being ive been busy..... i will however be having a superplay in the oak/sf game which i will finish up the write up shortly....

Oakland Vs San Francisco

THIS SERIES HAS BEEN CALLED DEPENDING ON WHO YOU TALK TO ~~ THE BATTLE OF THE BAY , THE BAY BRIDGE SERIES, THE BART SERIES AND YES EVEN THE THUGS VS YUPPIES SERIES..... NO MORE WILL THERE BE THE BASH BROTHERS FROM THE A'S, OR EVEN THE SMALL BALL PLAY THEY USED TO CALL...... NO MORE WILL THERE BE THE BARRY BONDS THREAT OF A SPLASH HIT....... INSTEAD WE HAVE 2 TEAMS IN REBUILDING MODE TRYING TO FIND THEMSELVES....

NOW BOTH THE GIANTS AND A'S RELY ON THEIR PITCHING MORE THAN THEIR BATS

CY YOUNG WINNER, TIM LINCECUM TAKES THE HILL TONIGHT FOR THE GIANTS...IN HIS LAST 3 STARTS HE HAS SHOWN WHY THAT AWARD WAS GIVEN BY GOING 2-0 WITH A 1.66 ERA .... HE ALSO IS 5-1 FOR THE SEASON WITH A 2.98 ERA.... UNFORTUNATELY THE GIANTS HAVE LOST 3 OF THE LAST 5 GAMES HE HAS STARTED..... THE REASON IMO FOR THESE LOSSES IS NOT THE OFFENSE AS THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PUT UP RUNS IN HIS GAMES STARTED (ALMOST 5 A GAME IN LAST 10).... I THINK IT REALLY HAS TO DO WITH THE TEAMS MENTALITY AS THEY SEEM TO JUST PLAY HARD ENOUGH TO WIN AND JUST CLOSE ENOUGH FOR A TEAM TO MAKE THAT ONE HIT AND GET IN THE GAME OR WIN IT..... THIS IS WHY TONIGHT WE WILL BE PLAYING OUR SUPERPLAY ON THE OAKLAND A'S

OAKLAND STARTS ROOKIE VIN MAZARRO WHO HAS OPENED SOME EYES IN HIS ONLY 2 STARTS BY THROWING 13 INNINGS OF 8 HIT BALL WITH NO EARNED RUNS.... ONE THING I CAN SAY ABOUT THE A'S IS THAT THEIR FARM SYSTEM JUST KEEPS BRINGING THEM OUT AND IMO IS BY FAR THE BEST AT DOING THAT......

THIS KID MAZARRO WAS A THIRD ROUND PICK IN 2005 RIGHT OUT OF RUTHERFORD HIGH SCHOOL IN NEW JERSEY WHERE HE FINISHED HIS SENIOR YEAR 7-1, 0.27 WITH 6 BB'S AND 91 K'S IN 52 INNINGS. MANY SCOUTS ARE QUOTED BY SAYING," he has a Greg Maddux-like body w/ the twisting delivery of Kevin Brown. Two-seamer has late life to it, but gets batters out w/ a power curve. Has a knuckle-curve as another option.....HE WAS NAMED AND AWARDED BY MILB in 2008 FOR BEING THE MOST SPECTACULAR PITCHER IN DOUBLE AA BALL..... SINCE HE TURNED 21 IN 2008 HE HAS COMBINED TO GO 32-14 ....

BOTTOM LINE IS THIS...... THIS KID IS A WINNER NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.... HE HAS THROWN TWO OUTSTANDING GAMES TO SHOW WHY HE BELONGS HERE AT THIS LEVEL.... HIS OAKLAND TEAM HAS WON 8 OUT OF THEIR LAST 10 GAMES DESPITE BATTING ONLY .228 .... WHICH SHOWS ME THAT THEY ARE MENTALLY SOUND IN EACH AND EVERY GAME, GETTING THE KEY HITS NEEDED... THE A'S ALSO OWN THIS SERIES GOING 3-3 IN '06 / 5-1 IN '07 / AND 4-2 LAST YEAR .... THROW IN THE FACT THAT LINCECUM HAS HAD HIS PROBLEMS IN INTERLEAGUE GAMES GOING 1-1 IN 5 LIFETIME STARTS WITH A 6.35 ERA....

I LIKE THIS KID FROM OAKLAND, I HATE HIM BECAUSE HE PLAYS ACROSS THE BAY FROM ME..... BUT I MYSELF NOT BEING BIASED, LOVE THE FACT THAT LINCECUM WILL HAVE TO BE CY YOUNG DOMINANT TO GET PAST HIS INTERLEAGUE JINX AND HIS TEAMS MENTALITY TO BEAT THIS KID MAZARRO AND THE HOT OAKLAND ATHLETICS TONIGHT!!!!
