Question: If you had one Koybaiashi Deathball, who would you plunk?
PerzypunkzhuizoslovesUMjfhkajsfhaski or Brandon Phillips?

Just think, if the White Sox hadn’t whored themselves out to 7-Eleven, then the game would already have started.

He actually had a 5000 OPS in the last series.
One walk, one home run, no other plate appearances — 1.000/1.000/4.000.

The one thing about Ozzie that I don’t absolutely, totally, 100% hate, is that totally disgusted look he gives the reporters when they ask him asinine questions.
by gte619n on May 20, 2008 8:10 PM EDT 0 recs
Simply hearing him during highlight clips on mlb.com is awful enough. I can’t imagine enduring an entire nine innings of him. You have my sympathy.

Everyone here Wedge single out Peralta on the pre-game show again? What the heck is up with that?

So, for reference, the guy leading the team in bombs gets put on timeout while Casey Blake posts an OPS+ 89?

I’m actually surprised Blake’s at 89. That’s up from earlier in the year.

Blake has had a pretty strong couple of weeks, .300/.400/.500, and the only fault in it is that it’s propped up by a few intentional walks. Weak walk rate and some BIP luck, but overall you can’t really complain for the moment.

Basically, Peralta is getting another day off to “think about things” or something like that, and Peralta was “doing what he was supposed to” today during batting practice – which Wedge stressed the next part – he should (you could hear him leering in his voice).

Hafner is trying the Beard method, it seems. Hope it helps.

I’m listening to this one on the radio feed since I can’t deal with Harrelson’s annoying catchphrases, so I’m going to be nice & behind.

At least he stayed alive for more than three pitches. That AB was at least a small-scale battle, which is an improvement.

LOLOLOLOLOL I had no idea. Mussina finally gets rocked like he should in every start. And boy is that Ohlendorf kid BAD.

What’s impressive is that Mussina only gets tagged for one earned because the inning should’ve been over if not for a Jeter error. Of course, he didn’t help himself by giving up 7 runs after that, but..

Here’s to someone else getting a no-no so I don’t have to hear about Jon Lester and his cancer for one more day. Seriously, like 75% of the rest of America is dealing with cancer in one form or another, so I don’t feel the need to give a shit because he’s a Boston pitcher.
Got in a fight with Joel Skinner, was injured by a charging Jhonny Peralta coming in from third.

if CC gets a no no it better be for more than 9 innings or he is not getting the win

Seems kind of odd to have both starting pitchers wear #52 and not be in spring training.

This guy’s story is similar to Phillips and the Marte apprehension, no? Diamondbacks kind of bailed on him and he’s really flourishing with new opportunity.

He had some injury issues too, though. I think back problems?

I think you’re right – but I get the sense that they bailed on him early, given the potential.
