I really hate Troy Glaus.

"While conservatives tell you 'leave things alone and no one will lose,' and liberals tell you 'interfere a lot and no one will lose,' baseball says 'someone will lose.' Not only says it - but insists upon it! ... Democracy is lovely, but baseball's more mature." BVCE supports SF Dugout and Manny Burriss.

Hasn't Glaus hurt his ankle yet?

Where's Tawnya Harding's ex-husband when you need him?

Even better

Remember when he was with the Angels and he was sitting because he was having problems with his contact lenses? That's always a possibility.

Not to worry

Kruk has told us that Tyler Walker is down in the bullpen and "ready to go."

are you sure he didn't say walker's calling in his lunch order "to go."

they smell the #1 draft pick

..and don't want anything to get in its way

by wcw on Apr 13, 2008 3:47 PM PDT reply reply   0 recs

#5 this year, another top pick next year. Draft soundly and wisely and we could have a quick turn around

by wilriv21 on Apr 13, 2008 3:49 PM PDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

So, we shouldn't draft another high school pitcher?

Now you're scaring me. I mean, I like Bumgarner, but I'd have wanted Heyward.

Some day, we'll have a game where Bochy doesn't blow through the entire bullpen, right?

He should spend offseasons touring the nation on an All-Terrible Name All-Star Team, alongside Chipper Jones and Gookie Dawkins.

Madison Bumgarner could pitch, come to think of it.

Sanchez vs Johnson

Tomorrow night we cut into the DBacks league lead when Jonathan Sanchez duels with Randy Johnson. Who will strike out more opposing players tomorrow night?

by wilriv21 on Apr 13, 2008 3:52 PM PDT reply reply   0 recs

No...

...the question ought to be "Which team will have more players striking out?"
Unfortunately sometimes the pitcher is just an accessory , y'know?

Nate Schierholtz doesn't want to be forgotten. he hits a HR for Fresno today.

by wilriv21 on Apr 13, 2008 3:55 PM PDT reply reply   0 recs

3-for-3, no less

He's the real prospect in RF -- which is why he should play every day in AAA.

Hopefully we'll see this alignment sometime soon:

Rowand CF

Absolutely. Especially since Winn's one of our only veterans who might have some trade value.

maybe the Indians could use him in LF? They have a glut of talent on the farm
