Yunel talking to Hanley
Yunel probably asking how to rake and Hanley asking how to field.

Kotsay taken out of the lineup.
It really is a 50/50 on whether he’s injured or traded.
by VictorW on Aug 26, 2008 7:13 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I’d say there’s a much better chance he’s been moved.

Wait, something's wrong
Doesn’t the opponent automatically get some runs in the first inning?
by 10-4 on Aug 26, 2008 7:29 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Yeah it's weird not being down 2-0 already
And Chipper puts us ahead!
by VictorW on Aug 26, 2008 7:32 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
And also of note: Blanco got out on the first pitch, and Yunel got a 4 pitch walk. This reminds me of that episode of Seinfeld where George decides to do the opposite of his instincts and everythign starts going great.

Ah, ok
I’m listening to radio.
I was considering going tomorrow night to get that one, just couldn’t tell from the photo (on the official website) if it had the tats. Don’t want it without the tats.

I think when September callups begin, we call up five starting pitchers, so we can have a second starter for each game.
by 10-4 on Aug 26, 2008 8:12 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Well, i guess Buddy could be one, so we only need 4 more starters

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Besides, i think he still has fewer innings than Boyer, who went over 200 last week.
by 10-4 on Aug 26, 2008 8:18 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I guess
I’m under the John Donovan belief that innings should be increased 30-40 a year, and regardless of where he stands now ………………. 156-159, stop him now, and let him strive for his progressive 30 next season, and strive for 180-190. If we’re not supposed to be seriously competitive, then there’s no real harm in doing such actions, and if we’re to bounce back in 2010, then at least we’ll have Jair striving for 215 innings, health and success barring.

Caught it on my way home – the first time I was back outside since 8:30 this morning when the monsoon blew me up the hill to my office from the parking lot. I stopped off at the parking deck at Lenox to take this with my phone.

I'd rather do what I've been doing
Park for free, buy a $3 ticket from scalper, sit in my usual section because I’m tight with the usher, and drop a fiver on some hot dogs. No need to spend $30 for a bunch of crap I don’t really care for.

If Corky can do that to AAA pitching
Then Hampton would look like Ruth

Maybe it's . . .
Batter, as in cookie/cake/delicacy batter, as in eating, of the week. A stretch, but more believable than hitting ball with stick “batter.”

Is it just me or does he look older than 35? Or is that 35 in Dominican years?

The thing is
He is such a negligible player, nobody cares to check his documentation. His bio probably says he’s 28.

Oh wow
7 career homers before this year. 12 in 2008. Who does he think he is? Brady Anderson?
by VictorW on Aug 26, 2008 10:22 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
See?
Last year, he lost his job because all the power he thought he had was all warning-track, instead of using his superior foot speed and putting the balls into play. But now he’s like that guy from Major League 2 who was bragging about being a slugger now.

6.31 team ERA after the All Star break. They started tracking this in 1961 and that’s the worst ever. If we can keep that up, we’ll have two records for the year.
