Freeflowing Thoughts

Following the example of one Bucco pitcher, I figure I'd just get some brief thoughts off my chest.

Thought 1: Ian Snell exasperates me immensely. I wonder if his coaches and teammates find him anywhere near as immensely exasperating as this fan does?
(Afterthought: Probably only when he pitches the way he pitched last night.)

Thought 2: I had a fight with someone before the game. I was distracted. I shouldn't have been distracted. Oh, and yeah, a teammate told me I was tipping my pitches. (Was it the same teammate who told you the Rockies were stealing signs from you, prompting your wonderful outburst about "killing that dude" before subsequently apologizing and being fined by the league?) Seriously, just shut up. I don't care anymore why you didn't pitch well. I just want the bad pitching to stop. I could care less why it happens. Just stop doing it. It's time for the excuses to end. Just do your job and pitch and stop spouting off when you don't do your job.
(Afterthought: Making excuses is a very human trait, and one I've been doing a lot of lately, and as such, I'm very frustrated by it when I see it, incredibly clearly, in someone else.)

Thought 3: Losing big sucks. Losing when there's little good (sorry, still waiting to see if those 2 scoreless innings of relief from the reliever just called up from AA stick the next few times he's used) in the loss tremendously sucks.
Afterthought: Whether they win or lose tonight, I need a reprieve for a bit. Following the Pirates closely enough to write long recaps of every single game might make me, too, like a certain pitcher, "break."
