Shields seems to own Hannahan...

he doesn’t normally look like this

random fantasy thought

I added Ryan Ludwick (STL) this week. Today he went 3/3 with an HR, single, and double. Sweet.

I've come to the conclusion that the two most important things in life are good friends and a good bullpen.

Fire Van Burkleo Now! This offense has suffered enough!

ordinarily, I don't buy the "swing for contact no matter what" ...

... but it sure looked like right approach with Frank and Sweeney there.

EXCELLENT BAD SWEENEY!!!!

Growing on me, and not like a fungus. Seems like a fungi, though.

I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal

Btw

Cahill crushed in Stockton today. 5 IP 8 ER.
Yeesh, first Anderson, now him.

Meanwhile Doolittle has upped his average to .370

"We were s--, pathetic," Guillen growled early in spring training. "We hit too many home runs."

by lenscrafters on May 19, 2008 9:33 PM PDT   0 recs

That outing was a lot better than it looks from the 8 runs

Nothing whatsoever to worry about with Cahill.

Crappy defense, crappy umpiring, bad lighting

and young players—lots of weird things can happen in A ball.

just Ellis and Sweeney left on the bench

Ellis is still injured (why he wasn’t DL’d, who knows)

Sweeney can only play the field for Barton.

Ellis was running today

before the game, gonna be back soon

Ellis

was jogging around the Bases in ATL as well. He could probably come in if he’s needed that badly.

What about Barry?
"Barry who?" Forst said, and I felt like I was in the middle of a knock-knock joke.

by KMoAsFan on May 19, 2008 9:35 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Dang.

Has Ryan Sweeney been impressive or what? I can’t wait for the outfield of Buck, CarGon, and Sweeney. That is, if Buck ever starts hitting again.

What about Barry?
