Looks like Asdrubal has taken over the #2 spot in the lineup since Michaels is 8th against a LHP.

Gutz is back... finally.

i think some justification, in some ill-advised train of thought, is that andy marte doesn't like cold weather.

I guess we can bench him in Game 6 of this years ALCS then when we're playing at a snowy Prog.

Our hitters look foolish...again. But I guess Lenny DiNardo does that to everyone he faces, that's why he's Lenny DiNardo.

Naw, he just overheard Shelton telling the hitters "a walk is as good as a hit," and he's out to prove how wrong that is.

CC must've said "see, with that new contract, now you have to pitch like an ace"

and Fausto learned how to be an ace from a guy who hasn't been one but for one year.
