Blake?

Ok, Mr. Sabean, see… Blake can play first base and Velandia is one hell of a 2b. Mind giving us Lincecum for the pair? I’m really hesitant to do this, as we might be getting robbed long-term.

Can we score 10 runs in 1+ innings against Arroyo like the Jays did last week?

Laffey is sort of awesome.

The music in that ASG ad with the graf’d statue of liberty is horrible disturbing.

Going the other way. Good.

Marte’s 16th start of the season, 15 starts in the first 81 games (slightly more than once a week)

Every day I forget how gross this offense is until I see it in action again.

Arroyo strikes out the side swinging on curve balls and sliders.

So, does your avatar mean we should fire Wedge because he didn’t find a way to use Jason DuBois? Or because Jason DuBois should be the new manager?

by afh4 on Jun 29, 2008 1:21 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

no. I was going with yesterday’s avatar theme w/o getting rid of my old one.

Yeah Shop’s cool and all but that was a pretty dope relay from JP. He caught and threw in a solid motion.

by afh4 on Jun 29, 2008 1:28 PM EDT   0 recs

Astro now has a walk in two straight games, after walking to lead off the first today. And he tripled yesterday.

still over 400?

No. He had an 0-4 two games ago. He’s at .375.

by afh4 on Jun 29, 2008 1:30 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

know what I just realized? The Tigers are .500. Ugh

by ASP on Jun 29, 2008 1:30 PM EDT   0 recs

They’re going to win the division, I think.

by afh4 on Jun 29, 2008 1:31 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I would concur

Tough crowd. If we were in first place that would be really funny.

by SuddenSam on Jun 29, 2008 1:37 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

7.8 is pretty funny I think. I mean, if a movie were 7.8 out of 10 that’d be good.

If Jorge Velandia and Yamin Haad were hanging out would they be able to go anywhere without being mobbed?

I’m telling you Velandia is a machine out there.

really is a tragedy he isn’t on the All-Star ballot.

Adam Dunn showcasing himself for Shapiro.

by afh4 on Jun 29, 2008 1:44 PM EDT   0 recs

I would shit myself if we traded for Dunn + Extension.

That would certainly solve a lot of issues.

by gte619n on Jun 29, 2008 1:45 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I don’t see how the Reds are trade partners at this time.

by SuddenSam on Jun 29, 2008 1:47 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Completely agree, I’m just wishing.

Norris Hopper is a pretty sweet name as well.

Guys, I don’t want to upset anybody but super prospect John Halama is getting knocked around a little in the 2nd.

Alright, Ben. Let’s build on that great AB you had first time around.

Oh, and Shapiro?

Honestly, is he? I’m on Gameday and honestly don’t know anything about this guy.

honestly.

No. I don’t think so. He’s probably fine.

he must be if he’s still in the majors. Cuz he can’t hit.
