it’s like 7/8ths what we want, but Bochey just never does the right thing. EVER. He plays the kids everywhere else, then puts dave fucking roberts in LF. How does that make sense?

Why not have Roberts lead off with Winn 2nd and bump everyone up and put Velez before Rohlinger….That’s what I would’ve preferred

Roberts
Winn
Rowand
Pablo
TI
Velez
Rohlinger
Ochoa

Holy crap

Newhan still in league?

I thought Commissioner Selig broke it at the end of the movie.

"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.
