Anyone asked why Arcia/Plouffe are hitting 6th and 7th? Why the **** is Doumit hitting 3rd?

 

Veteran presence in the lineup.

He pitched last year for the local AAA team in Reno. I don't recall that he pitched in any of the few games I went to, so I have no on-the-scene scouting report to offer. I read the same things everyone else does, that he didn't seem to understand that you be nice to be people you meet on your way up because you might see them again on your way down.

 

From what I've read... It's why Arizona was willing to trade him. Upton as well.

 

Arizona is trying to build that nose to the grindstone good attitude team and its kinda my philosophy on how to build a winner. So I'm watching the D-Backs close.

Big start for Walters... He can't have another clunker.

 

Should I read past this post, since I just joined the game and saw the score?

Is that the smile that an infant gives you when he does a nice one?

 

I don't know... I'm waiting for someone to post a picture.

Might as well keep going. Maybe you'll drag the team back into the game.

Doesn't Walters have to be DFA'd if we want to get rid of him? Albers could be an option then.

Does it really matter at this point? I hope the Twins are done giving him starts. I've read he is a great person and the Twins love him, but I just can't see how they can justify giving him any more starts in the MLB. He is just not an MLB caliber pitcher. There are other options to clear from the 40-man if they want to keep him.

Nope. The moderators closed the thread after the National Anthem.

It would be worth discussing if he was merely bad. These last two starts were way beyond that. I agree with you.

Working so far ... courtesy of Hammer and Morneausie. CTTF, maybe you could go out the door and come in again at least 6 more times?

Well yeah it matters. If he has to be DFA'd, then it opens a spot on the 40 man roster.

ha! Well ... I did forget something when out running errands, but I'm too tired to go back out.

Which was sung by Ashbury and his Durante tone.

C'mon, take one (er, uh, six) for the team.

you can't run on gordon when he's almost in the infield

Gardy was making out a lineup card while Willingham was hurt.

 

He started by placing Doumits name in the 3 spot first and was going to fill in the rest of the lineup.

 

He then he realized that it was the last copy of his lineup cards and he made 50 photo copies of the lineup card with Doumits name in the 3 spot.

 

There is nothing that Gardy can do about that now.

I feel like that was an ally-oop. I was really hoping someone would take the set-up and you killed it.

ok ... just checking if my feed is slow again ... who's batting where everyone else is at?

Does stepping out onto the balcony and coming back in count?

yay dozie!

I think Badsmerf is for that... Badsmerf is also for:

 

1. Kate Upton

2. Philly Cheese Steak Sandwiches

3. Finding Money on the street.

Thank You Thank You

Only experimentation will tell. But with this large a margin, I think half-measures are not called for.

 

I don't usually put up a rally avatar until the late innings but it may be called for here.

Nice catch by Lough... Dang it. That would have been a huge hit.

Dont leave us in suspense... What did you forget?

Hosmer... Sigh... 2 steps forward... 1 step back.

Hey ... I never gave you permission to use my picture!

That's as hot as I'm allowed under the new posting guidelines. BTW if you want something hotter, google up "whistler's sister" with safe search off. ;)

I actually forgot to stop at the post office.

We have a weird connection tonight. For some reason the game thread is a strange place where anything can happen.

 

Ahhhh, I have no pants!
