That's useful
But there's three runs to overcome, and if we weren't hitting Gil Meche of all people, it's not exactly a given we'll hit their pen tonight either.

Fine. I'd be happy with just a nice little single here, not picky who hits it, although it would probably be helpful if it was one of the next guys up to bat. I'm easy, just score me a run here and there and I'm good. [and no dirty minds here, please.]

If he can bring any value in return. He's still a fine defensive player and can knock lefties around a little bit, so I'm saying firesale Jay. I just don't think he's a good hitter.

As for Loaiza, I'm gonna assume something was just wrong with his arm tonight. I didn't even see him top 84.

Though Florida's is the worst.

At least their basketball team didn't wear that.  If so, they probably shouldn't be allowed to win the national championship.

That's a great idea
Owners should be able to short players whom they think will majestically underperform.

I just came from the Rivercats game...
In Portland. The Cats look good! Kielty tried stretching a single to a double and got thrown out at 2nd. Chad Gaudin looked awesome. 2 hits over six innings. Sounds like the parent club could have used him tonight. Maybe just a bad night from Esteban. Nothing to worry about. Papa Joe will bounce us back right tomorrow. Go A'S!

so...
OAK lost
SAC lost
MID lost
STO lost
KCO won

Bad day for the organization, I guess?
