Can I just say that Brett Anderson's goatee is horrendous?
It like wraps around the sides of his chin. Probably because he can’t grow enough facial hair in the front. Brett, if you can’t grow enough facial hair for your goatee to be normal shaped, you probably shouldn’t have one at all.
From one grown man who can’t grow a beard to another: just stop

the third run was scored by Maier, who reached on a fielder’s choice, but he batted against Wuertz. Maybe it’s because he only reached by wiping out the baserunner that Anderson allowed?

He is unlikely to play on Wednesday according to Susan Slusser’s latest update.
I asked about Geren’s decision to start Suzuki rather than backup Landon Powell and he noted that Suzuki had been off Thursday and he got one inning off Saturday night. He said Suzuki probably won’t play Wednesday in Baltimore, either, giving him back-to-back days off with Thursday’s offday.

Maybe
But he’s turning 30 real soon, and this is his best season so far. Translation: Cunningham or Buck will almost certainly be better than Hairston by 2011 – if they are given the chance.

agree
What you fail to understand in your joyless myopia is that baseball is the key to life-- the Rosetta Stone, if you will. If you just understood baseball better all your other questions your, your... the, uh... the aliens, the conspiracies they would all, in their way be answered by the baseball gods.
Hairston has been consistently, well, not good with us.

It’s the least we could do after they gave us Adam Kennedy for Joe Dillon.

Fine with me. They can keep their stadium, however.

Of course this team would be doing a lot better....
…if we had scheduled all 162 games against the Royals.

I’ll settle for 81 games with the Royals, 60 games with the Pirates and 21 games with the Nationals.

Would they be HD Bailey's Mini-Sirloin Dibs?
They could advertise them with Padma licking them off of her own ankles.

Closers are overvalued.
Our other ones (that we haven’t traded) have been injured, non-closer-esque, or just called up to the bigs.

It's just confusing..
Seeing Joey Devine, Brad Ziegler, Huston Street and Andrew Bailey all take turns the last season and a half.
Finish him off.

But the whole bad defense + literally not walking at all thing just doesn't do it for me.
"We were shit, pathetic," Guillen growled early in spring training. "We hit too many home runs."
Memo to opposing pitchers:
Slider. Low and away.
That is all.
