Open Letter to Esteban (reprinted)

Open Letter to Loiaza
Esteban,
I'd like to apologize to you for the curse that I placed on you and your loved ones. I will sacrifice a live chicken this evening to try and keep you and yours from developing the debilitating diseases that I called down from the nether worlds. But remember that if you start to stink again I've got the voodoo doll ready, Hoss!!
Sorry 'bout that
Durden

P.S. Remember that DUI thing? I may have caused that. My bad.

Indestructible
Sorry, Sour-beck is this year's Jim Mecir; he has shown himself to be untouchable to my voodoo spells and unfortunately will be here to haunt us the rest of year as my crystal ball predicts that Macha will continue to run him out there whenever he decides the game needs to be a bit closer or more out of reach.

I like Saurbeck
Then again, I also like Antonio Perez...

I feel real bad for Antonio
I dunno why but I like him.  He's a very, very good hitter, you know, he's done well in the past and can't get tracked.

Se seems like a nice guy, a positive inlfuence on the bench.  Good athlete.  Good luck, Antonio.

I watched him closely on Friday and
Saturday. His stance at the plate may be part of the problem. His legs are extremely far apart, causing him to become unbalanced when he swings.

94 Plate appearances
8 Walks, 40 Strikeouts.

Not counting this year, 436 PA, 100 K, 39 BB.
That Bobby Crosby, without the HRs and Doubles.

wider base
better balance, common sense.

You "called debilitating diseases
down from the netherworlds"?  Where exactly do you live?  Danville?
