Testin' out this newfangled "scheduled posting" thingie.

Giants v. Cubs. The Giants' "speed-'n'-defense 'em into a tie"-strategy might not work in the regular season, but it'll do just fine for the Cactus League.

Nice to see the scheduled posting function is working.

First pitch is only about 7 hours away, what shall we talk about?

Favorite Ben and Jerry's flavor. The correct answer is Oatmeal Cookie Chunk.

That's my favorite current one but they had this PBJ flavor a few years ago that was pure frozen awesome.

Good call there but I'll go with coffee heath bar crunch.

I traded Cody Ransom for Khalil Greene in my PS2 EA Sports MLB'04 game because he sucked there too.

much obliged

i thought the brass was considering shifting Sanchez and Correia around so as to not have the LHPs back-to-back? Now is a good time as any to do it, especially with yesterday's off day. This way when Lowry returns he can just plop into Zito's spot in rotation.

ACTUALLY

For a .235 hitter his numbers are pretty good... > 1 BB / 10 PA - and 18 HRs.
He's 24 though.
