"Turd Throw" and other stories from the rancid NLC.

Howry would be the #2 or #3 man in Milwaukee's pen.

I'm just glad that Howry finally perfected his one pitch, the big, fat fastball right the down the middle.

I thought Brenly was going to jump out of the booth and strangle Howry.

This is how fucked up Howry is.  Ahead in the count, he throws a strike down the middle to Quintero who, as Bob pointed out, is a free-swinger (even though he earned a walk off of Goose Man later).  Later in the inning, when all that fuckstick had to do was throw a strike down the middle while Reggie Abercrombie was giving him an out by bunting, he instead threw 4 pitches out of the zone.

I had the feeling that Lou was willing to sacrifice last night's game to determine, once and for all, if Howry's going to be able to be counted on down the stretch.  He even threw Wuertz in there for comparison's sake.  It was relatively low-pressure, as it was only the 6th inning, and I'd say mission accomplished.  Now let us never see this batting cage machine ever again.

Until, of course, next year, when he's the Brewers' 8th inning man.

Bravo.  You win today's "Best Rationalization for a Shitty Loss" award.  That's such a good story that I'm going to believe it's the truth anyway.

I ain't gonna lie.  In fact, I really am in the "big picture" crowd where we will look back on this game and fart and laugh. 

But that was the kind of loss that, when I woke up in the middle of the night, it was the first thing I thought of and it took me a few minutes to fall back asleep.  Losses like that force you to rationalize just to get through the day.  Glad to be of help.

Did anyone else notice in this season how the NLC is no longer rancid?
