McLaren on HO/pick to click for tonight

"He seems fine," manager John McLaren said. "I watch the guy's body language and he seems good. He's not hanging his head. He needs to go out and feel good about himself, get some quality innings in."

...wtf... Oh i gotta make this 300 characters. Go M's!

My pick to click tonight is....Ichiro he will get on base and cause some trouble along the base paths.

If you take away the fact that

the Ho has no major league caliber pitching ability, he's a quality major league pitcher.

My pick to click is me. Clicking off the remote control after the first inning.

My pick to click: Edgar.

We're going to look so foolish against Garza but somehow manage 7 unearned runs, that Bavasi will call up Edgar and sign him to a one-day contract. Edgar will then ask NASA to send him a space ship and he'll fly in that to the game, suit up in his old #11 jersey, pinch-hit for Vidro with the bases loaded in a 10-7 ballgame in the top of the ninth inning and give us the lead with a grand slam... And then seeing that we have the lead McLaren will send Ramirez back out there and he'll promptly give up a basehit and then a walkoff homerun.

Can't a guy dream?

Well, until the bottom of the ninth anyways.

I rather think of Edgar playing then

the impending doom of this blowout/no-hitter.

I "would" rather think.....

of unicorns. Gay unicorns like Tom Cruise. As long as we're playing make-believe. (now if I only knew how to link to youtube movies)

We already have a guy dreaming

He's our manager.

OH GOD

I just realized that Ho is also going to be pitching in the Texas series. He's gonna get slammed!

VIDRO STOPPED BECAUSE HE PROBABLY SAW SOME EFFING FOOD IN THE CROWD - katal

That is...

... if they don't finally tire of HoRam's poor excuse for pitching and realize they don't have the luxury of sending up every 5th day a guy who'd get jocked in A ball.

What will likely happen (unfortunately)

is that Ho will go 6 innings, 4 runs (with about 15 LOB) and it will be just enough to convince McLaren and Bavasi that he can still be effective. Just like the Weaver starts from early in the year. I just wish they'd put him on a short leash, and pull him at the first sign of trouble.
