Just more musings on 'on-the-job- training' at the big league level. Who's more likely to actually cost you a ball game (and I don't mean by what somebody did or didn't do in the on-deck circle): Somebody you try to hide in the outfield and at the bottom of the order until they improve, or a starter that you run out there every 5th day to see what the minimum damage his 100 pitches will do until he improves? I dunno for sure, but I guess Theo does.
Mattymatty, in case you're reading, thank you. You did not drive me out of the game thread. I'm just a more even-keel, cool-tempered kind of fan. The teeth-gnashing and hand-wringing (while we're playing .600 ball) is just not for me. Each to her/his own.
Wow, D-Rays doing a number on Detroit this afternoon.
15-1 in the 8th. Bonderman gave up 20! yes, 20! hits.
TB: 15 runs, 24 hits DET: 1 run, 11 hits
Apparently Yahoo Sports has gone a little haywire, as they have "J Wilson" driving in all 7 runs in the 7th for Tampa. Oh, and he also drove in their runs in the sixth and Detroit's run in the seventh as well. That J. Wilson can sure plaY!
I like mostly grain cereals: Rice Chex, Corn Flakes, Cheerios (no sugar added besides what's in the box--whereas my fiancee loves to pile sugar on there), but I do absolutely love one sugary cereal, and that is Honeycomb.
TCM gone for 5 games......I hope it was woth it..Torre knew that theyhad to hit someone but to let Clemens do it is stupid , Why not Karstens or Villone.....
And by the way . I never see these anywhere anymore.....Frankenberry, Booberry and Count Chocula. Made for a lovely bowl of sugary goodness with 9 vitamins and minerals
We already did Hail to thee cyber-trough of Apple Jacks last night during the seventh inning stretch...not sure what you're lookin for today.

ReplyDeleteGoing through the papers, so I'll put something else up soon.
ReplyDeleteDid anyone else think, "Hey, now they can pick him up" when they heard that Wells was DFAed?
ReplyDelete"they" meaning the Yankees, of course.
ReplyDelete(Can't tell I'm tired, can you? Sheesh.)
Personally I always like the "let Mikey try it". Not sure that is what you are looking for but it is the best I got right now!
ReplyDeleteIf Crisp were elected president and put large companies' welfare far head of the populace's -- would they refer to his administration as CocoCo?
ReplyDeleteI don't really get the ortiz quote in the site tag. I've never heard of "apple sox" or....
ReplyDeletenow, suddenly it hit me. "sox" "sauce". I've got the wrong accent.
still--kinda an odd thing to say.
Z/S wins the prize so far, IMO. CocoCo! Cool.
ReplyDeleteThe citizen of Joy Nation who likes to write about breakfast cereal seems not to have weighed in.

Apparently yahoo sports is majorly screwed up, because on MLB.com its only 8-1 for TB. I was scared there for a minute.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we can work out a trade deal for Wilson. WMP, Timlin, ?
ReplyDeleteYou know, that Jayne Mansfield had some big breasts!
ReplyDeleteMoss sent back down, so Hinske is likely back tomorrow.
