Bochy will throw him in as a pinch runner, late in the game, lefty on the mound.

by rightcenterfielder on Jul 8, 2008 3:17 PM PDT up reply actions  

So

Since Omar indicated a willingness to sit on the bench while Burriss got some starts, Big Head has started Vizquel pretty much every game.

Following this cause-and-effect, this means that if I were to tell Bruce Bochy I’d be willing to do the team’s laundry after every game, theyd probably give me the majority ownership share.

If he does it over 60+ games like in SJ, maybe.

I kinda agree

Gallagher will fit in with the A’s collection of 3rd starters.

Matt Murton = healthier Travis Buck.

Patterson I don’t like at all. The catching prospect, I don’t know anything about. If he’s a stud, then maybe this is the best you can’t get for a volatile commodity like Harden.

How crazy of the NL players to not vote Omar onto the All-Star team. He has great intangibles! He plays great defense! What a leader he is!

my mom said she liked those commercials and I was just like, “WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?”

Then again, she doesn’t watch as much baseball as I do and thus, doesn’t see them 18 times a day.

I liked the commercials the first time I saw them. Then they decided to show them twice during each break.

by giantfan5 on Jul 8, 2008 4:58 PM PDT reply actions  

He takes an ok number

But the problem is he’s taking a lot of 2 strike pitches when he needs to put one in play. Atleast that I’ve seen. Anyone think this is remotely accurate?
