It might've been okay if it was the sixth inning of a mauling

But to start the game thread at that point? We’d be party vanned by the stretch.

So, Norton and Willie

We know Willie, BOOOOO, but are we cool with Norton? I’m ambivalent.

He's a decent bat off the bench

A little bit of power. And can he really be worse at 1B than Richie right now?

that’s just wrong

by Bearskin Rugburn on Apr 17, 2008 6:44 PM PDT up reply actions  

Neither Ballgame and wilkerson can hit the ball pretty well

but Ballgame is a tad better defensibly. And Norton is a decent bat off the bench. No one you want playing at 1B everyday, but still better then sexson.

by IceStormV1 on Apr 17, 2008 6:46 PM PDT up reply actions  

Wilkerson can hit the ball well

when he makes contact and he can work the count. Ballgame is a late inning defensive replacement and nothing more. Sexson is hitting like a good minor league callup first baseman. He’s overpaid, but he’s doing OK so far.

It depends largely on your opinion of Richie’s 2008… of which I’m admittedly ambivalent.

I think they should sit him every now and then

until he is benched/ catches on fire / we find out Norton is worse

The Flyers seemed to have 6-men on the ice those last 3 periods.

The Caps were too defensive and had no energy to amount any kind of attack.
