So here's a question it's never occurred to me to ask: if you are the starter in an away game and the home team is ahead going into the ninth and stays that way because your offense hates you so much it wishes you were dead, so you only pitch eight innings instead of nine, is that a complete game? (Okay, okay, I know the answer to that, but fucking hell.)
Because if it is, then boy did I ever watch the wrong CG today.
Because not only was David Wells not thrown off by his six-day suspension, but he came back from it to throw his first complete game of the season, a one-run seven-hit beauty. (Okay, technically he had another CG, but only because it was cut off by rain after six innings.) We won 5-1.
Yeah, I didn't watch that one.
I watched Jeremy Bonderman's brilliant CG instead, and if I was worried about him being thrown off by the extra day of rest provided by a rainout, I didn't need to be. Actually, it obviously did him good, it being late in the season and him being tenth in the league for innings pitched and all. This was his fourth CG for the season, with two runs on five hits and six Ks and one walk, and it was wonderful to see him look so good after how shaky he's been recently.
And it made me fucking want to puke and die. Because do you think he can get any kind of run support? Do you think the Tigers offense can get any further once they get men into scoring position several times? Are you fucking kidding me?
2-0. We lost TWO FUCKING ZERO BECAUSE OUR OFFENSE CANNOT GET ITS HEAD OUT OF ITS ASS AND PLATE THE GUYS WHO GET ON BASE.
Okay, yes, Jon Garland also threw a CG, and a pretty one at that, BUT. I mean, Jesus, it's not like we never had a chance; we only got four hits, but we got more men on base than that, and we had a man at third twice, and we even managed to draw a walk (whoa). We had opportunities to score, and we wasted every single one of them.
Hell, Bondo's last CG was also a two-run loss, although, gosh, at least we got ONE run that time.
Tigers offense, you suck. You suck and I hate you and not only do you not get cookies, but I will find a way to TAKE AWAY the cookies that you do not have. Do not put it past me. I will go to school and take math class after math class until I am super smart and I will invent a new kind of math that will allow me to leave you with the negative cookies that you deserve. Because I hate you. And you suck. Now go sit in a goddamn corner until you think you understand why you are being punished.
