EVEN MORE OF A REASON TO START HIM NEXT YEAR!

IDEA: trade francoeur and kelly johnson for jose guillen. THAT WAY we have a new right fielder AND can start prado every day! YEAH!!!!!!!!!

Oooh if we throw in Lilli and/or Blanco, maybe we can get Banny too.

Nice turn by Kelly

Hampton lets two balls get scorched and then gets the double play to end the inning. Sounds about right.

Awww

poor lilli, trying to look mad. At least I think he was trying.

by Lizziebeth on Sep 23, 2008 7:32 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Hampton: .238/.304/.333
Lilli: .191/.236/.309

At least he’s better than Corky

Oh, definitely. was just saying it’s cute how he’s trying to look mad…he’s so lithe.

having a hard time typing with a band-aid on my middle finger, but it’s been fun showing everyone my new boo-boo. try it, you’ll see what I mean!

by Lizziebeth on Sep 23, 2008 7:43 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Haha. His 12 year old face and Dumbo ears just make it better.

What happened to your finger?

by VictorW on Sep 23, 2008 7:46 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Oh, sorry, missed your reply!
Paper cut…well, actually it was a file, so it’s a little deeper. Right on the tip, too.

by Lizziebeth on Sep 23, 2008 8:51 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

OUCH

That’s a thick cut. Those freaking hurt.

by VictorW on Sep 23, 2008 8:54 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Oh, Waaaah

Chip thinks Glass has gotten a bad rap from the media, the fans, the blogs….

Boo-hoo, go cry together….somewhere else.

I’ll give credit for Hampton for rehabbing (It’s easier to do when being paid $14M), but they make it sound like baseball players get it so hard. If it was the NFL, he would have been cut in three years ago.

by VictorW on Sep 23, 2008 7:44 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Muahaha

It’s fun seeing what usually happens to us happen to other teams

by VictorW on Sep 23, 2008 7:56 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Thank you Odarp

Might as well trade Chipper and plug him in at 3rd next year!

Whoooooo!

Kotchman’s got Hamel’s #!

Ryan Howard triple?

So basically would have been an inside the park homer if Victorino or Rollins was running?

by VictorW on Sep 23, 2008 8:51 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Ha-ha, buck tooth devil...

What can I say; I’m playing with an injury :)

by Lizziebeth on Sep 23, 2008 9:03 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Pretty good!

Blah Victorino has half of his triples and 3 of his 14 HRs against the Braves.

by VictorW on Sep 23, 2008 9:10 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Ugh

not to mention attempted murder on Heap…

by Lizziebeth on Sep 23, 2008 9:12 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Heh heh

It was a short video about Clint Sammons (talking about how it was being the new guy) they were showing on the jumbotron before the game on the 17th.

It's been sooooooooooooooo damn long

since we beat the Phillies. What are we like 3-15 against them now?

Hampton

Last appearance? You gotta be kidding me. I have this sinking feeling good ol FW is gonna resign him. I just know it…..

if its for a million or less loaded with incentives he’ll never reach, i’d be fine with it

Call me crazy

and many will, but I agree with you.

(Not crazy for agreeing, but the idea in general.)

Sweet mericiful Pujols

We got a win against the Phillies. My prayers have been answered finally.

No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.

by royhobbs on Sep 24, 2008 8:36 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Enjoy it.

JoJo pitches tonight.

by 10-4 on Sep 24, 2008 8:37 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

One win

Against the Phillies was a miracle enough. Another win, with Jo-Jo pitching would constitute for about six more, and I think Pujols has bigger things to worry about now.
