Ziggy needs to start the 8th

I am not wanting Uggla going are deep HRing leading off 7th. Pardon the translation being from others language.

translation: "Could Get Uggla"

I think that’s what you’re attempting to transmit…

Nonsense

My office overlooks a pond with lots of ducks, and I’ve seen them out there going at it on several occasions. The actual encounter doesn’t last very long, just a few seconds, but you get plenty of warning with their pre-coital courtship ritual.

I’ve never seen the geese in action, though.

C'mon an idiot can figure this out.

You have a pitcher who only gets groundballs (Ziegler).

You’re facing a team that hits a bunch of home runs.

So you replace the groundball pitcher with a worse pitcher???

Well, Ziggy couldn't have gone that long

It was his 4th day in a row pitching.

So he's already pitched three days in a row

Yet you continually warm him up and sit him down for three innings?

Maybe Ziegler said

Jack Cust having a tough time of late

Hopefully just a mini-slump

by Trainman on Jun 21, 2008 8:29 PM PDT   0 recs

Cust is strangely ineffective lately

he’s either dead-on, or dead-on-arrival.

Most of the hits the Marlins got tonight are on fastballs

I was surprised that Embree threw nothing but fastaballs in that last HR at-bat
