Steel yourselves. I’m making C.S. Lewis jokes about Cody Ransom for as long as I can manage.

Crowe got the guess what you can’t hit treatment. Slider change slider change.

It struck me as the rants of a guy at a bar who really think he’s smart and just goes on and on about shit people don’t care about.

Sizemore a NL player? OK Bob

He’s more like Pujols than Gardner is, so maybe there’s a point.

only if they don’t eventually get a walk anyway…. more pitches = good, all else equal

50 pitches, 26 strikes. This is only going to work so long.

hal reynolds just came with the “i’m surprised they don’t move grady to 3rd” (maybe not just…but i just got here, and he said it very recently…)
3rd in the batting order, not 3rd base
by DontCallMeJoey on Apr 16, 2009 1:59 PM EDT up reply actions
I’m pretty sure he meant 3rd base, since he was talking abou the double steal.
by supermarioelia on Apr 16, 2009 2:00 PM EDT up reply actions
it was when grady was at the plate. you give hal too much credit.

I’m listening in car, so I can’t post much, but Sterling thinks Grady should bat third.

No you don’t. Casey never would have worked that walk to begin with.

Maybe I’m just pissed at DeRosa, but these Alltel commercials piss me off. First of all, you barely exist anymore. Second, the bit in this commercial is a blatant rip-off of Chris Farley on Weekend Update.

He had his head down and that was clearly the reason his reaction was delayed. That is inexusable.
by supermarioelia on Apr 16, 2009 2:08 PM EDT up reply actions
Yes, but a runner going to second is supposed to watch the third base coach and not the ball in play. It’s a fundamental of running the bases
costas, who i like, is absolutely shining jeter like a new trophy right now. it sort of makes me want to do something criminal
I hate the Yankees, but this guy i work with hates the yankees so much today. It makes my day easier.

I have to be away for about twenty or thirty minutes. When I come back I want a lot of Indians players’ names typed in all caps with lots of exclamation points.

A giant hawk just landed outside my window & is currently picking the guts out of another bird. Clearly this is a good omen.
Hey, Gardner, what are the best shade conditions for these chives?

I love how when you buy tickets from a team’s official site once you get e-mail from them from the rest of your life. Look, the Pirates, it was just a one-time thing. You gotta get that into your head.
Costas needs to shut up on the steroid shit, “It’s like conventional arms versus nuclear weapons Bud”
is costas saying that steroids is like night games?

The ball to strike ratio is not good for Cliff. Is he seriously getting squeezed?

Well, they knocked him out at five innings. Job well done. And they weren’t even as selective as they could have been.
Hey guyz, quick riddle, what weighs 340 pounds and is on the hook for the loss?
