I picked up Mazzaro in my fantasy league
I have a roster spot open in my pitcher staff for “4th and 5th starter going up against the Giants this week”
In the past weeks I’ve used :
Zimmermann
West
Tonight I have Mazzaro going, looking to go 3/3
Zimmerman is worth starting against good offenses too.
Randy Winn is going to catch that. And he'll do it real classy-like too.
Both lineups via Yahoo Sports
O. Cabrera ss .234
A. Kennedy 2b .328
J. Cust rf .231
M. Holliday lf .274
J. Giambi 1b .217
L. Powell c .204
R. Davis cf .239
J. Hannahan 3b .205
V. Mazzaro p .000
A. Rowand cf .311
E. Renteria ss .258
R. Winn lf .282
B. Molina c .256
P. Sandoval 1b .322
J. Uribe 3b .296
N. Schierholtz rf .225
E. Burriss 2b .251
T. Lincecum p .154
We are defending our Failoff title again!

Nah
Sanchez actually doesn’t give up many homers – his rate is only slightly higher than Lincecum’s, and the same as Matt Cain.
However, he would walk those guys a combined 10 times and take 63 pitches to do it.

If there is a stadium where you should send Cunningham or Buck out there instead, this is the one.

I have no idea what this ad is for, but I seriously want to scream.

LOL. I should say that I think Bruce is a LOT more entertaining as a post game show than what Flemming gives. Flemming does a great job calling the games, but Bruce gives a lot more attitude and entertainment with his call in show. He can be arrogant and a prick – but he also let’s the fans take over the show and really air opinions – which I personally find interesting.

You guys like to get on ESPN for showing this game but it should be noted that this game was among the top rated shows on cable that week.
Ratings are skewed because only a small number of people are Neilsen families, and it’s still not representative of baseball fans to assume that Red Sox and Yankees is something everyone wants to watch or cares about.

watching scherholtz swing the bat
I don’t know how he ever hit a home run in fresno
he seems to have to get a lot of leg kick into it in order to really drive the ball.
Randy Winn is going to catch that. And he'll do it real classy-like too.

Sure you can
does not have to that is not his forte want him getting on base stealing bases scoring runs preventing runs with his D
no you can't
manny should learn to drive himself in
nope your wrong
he should drive himself in
burriss should imitate him
drive himself in and get RBIS
neither of his fortes have been muy fuerte thus far.
