Gorzesplooge?

Probable Pitchers

Tuesday, August 4

Tom Gorzelanny, LHP (3-1, 5.19) vs Johnny Cueto, RHP (8-8, 4.06)

Scouting Report:
Cubs: The Cubs acquired Gorzelanny on Thursday from the Pirates, and the lefty will make his debut and return to the big leagues in this game. He's been pitching for Triple-A Indianapolis, and was 4-3 with a 2.48 in 15 games. In July, Gorzelanny had a 1.11 ERA, giving up four earned runs over 32 1/3 innings in five games. Former Pirates GM Dave Littlefield, now a special assistant to Cubs GM Jim Hendry, had scouted Gorzelanny, who did pitch for Pittsburgh from May 18-June 9, but only in relief. He was strictly a starter in the Minors. In fact, Gorzelanny picked up a win in relief against the Cubs on May 25.

Reds: Cueto had another rough outing against the Padres last Thursday. He gave up six runs in just five innings as he lost his fourth consecutive game. The big blow to Cueto came in the fifth when he allowed a three-run homer to Will Venable which gave the Padres a 6-1 lead. Cueto has given up 26 runs over his last five starts while throwing just 22 2/3 innings. He will look to break out of his slump against the Cubs who beat him July 25. In that start, Cueto allowed four runs over six innings.

There's way to much premature ejaculation going on around here.  I remember a simpler time, when we would commence splooge threads to celebrate those that have actually done something(s) good.

It just looks like he's splooging in virtually every picture, so I figured why not.

[Quality Start Machine]

OK, so should we start calling him "Zippy" or "Pinhead"?

[Tinker to Evers to Chance]

Splooge.

[Ghost of Dave Rosello]

How is Pittsburgh in last place if they have five starters better than this guy?

[RV]

Baaaby Ruuuth!

Nice game, ya freak.

DPGR?

I was going to post in here that Gorzo was going to be the bigger part of that trade.  Finally a Weebs prediction that wasn't completely obvious, and yet there's no record of it ever happening.  FAIL.

Call me crazy, but I'm withholding splooge until he pitches this well against a Major League offense.

[BC]

I predict he pitches longer for the Cubs than the other recent number 22's.

Pirates to pay for giving up on Gorzy

Pirates to pay for giving up on Gorzy

Gorzelanny has had elbow issues in the past, and we know from last year that he can lose his command and become completely useless in the blink of an eye.

That's cool. I just won't blink. Ever. Again.

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnd, scene.
