Hi
changed the channel after the DP a few minutes ago to see Beltran and Wright each hit 2 run homers to put the Mets ahead 4-3 over ATL.
So, if that happens in this game the Ginas will be ahead too…

They should send RJ out there to talk to him. He would just stare Sanchez down, followed by perfect Sanchez control.
I would be okay with a .500 team, or close to it, that sucked at offense, if we had the ability to bring in 3-4 impact hitters next year. The lineup turnover cannot happen fast enough for me.
I think I preferred when the games were on at west coast times, that way I could just goto sleep and miss the entire thing.
4 pitch walk
if Manny swings at the first pitch I might fly to Chicago and punch him and Bochy in the face.

"The biggest thing I talk to Freddie about is having a certain attitude," Lansford said. "When you’re the No. 3 hitter, you’re our best hitter. I don’t care who’s on the mound. There’s a way you walk into the box and [maintain a] thought process, the whole way you handle yourself. I want him to start doing that now in Spring Training. He’s done it right away."
Aaaaannnndddd...
The Giants expect Lewis to be more of a presence in the batter’s box while spending less time in it. Though the Giants did virtually nothing during the offseason to upgrade their offense, they believe that Lewis can be one of the power sources they sorely need — not a 40-homer slugger, but somebody who can hit at least half that.

Scene: It’s ST in Arizona. Giants starting left fielder, Fred Lewis, is shagging flyballs in the outfield on a sunny, breezy day. The Giants braintrust slowly approaches Fred in LF…
Giants: Fred, we want you to hit more home runs in a single season of pro-ball than you’ve ever done before. This is in no way unrealistic or crazy.
/doffs hat made of monkey hair
Freddie: You do realize my career seasonal high in homeruns is 12, right?
G’s: That’s not important. What you need is ‘tude. Swagger. Grit. Balls. Dingers. It’s all about the ‘tude. Now, where’s your leather jacket…
F: Um, OK. I’ll get a leather jacket, but my skill-set is more of a ‘Can do a little bit of everything’-type than a whatever you’re thinking a #3 hitter should be. I’ll hit some doubles, maybe 10-ish HRs, draw some walks, and play really good defense in LF.
G’s: Wait, did you just say walks?

F: Yeah, the thing that happens when you don’t swin…
