Joyous Times
Cairo in the lineup again and batting 2nd.
On the plus side they are sticking with Clement even as he struggles at the plate.

Is it wrong to think I'd rather have Vidro playing first?
by JI on May 11, 2008 12:08 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
nope
I was thinking the same thing…. and I’d rather have him hitting second then Cairo and I’m not a fan of either one of them.

I'd take Triunfel over both of them
Though setting his development back several years and possibly recking his psychological framework isn’t in the Mariners best interest. Let’s trade him for Griffey!

not for a first baseman
this team needs someone that can hit homeruns…. Truinfel wouldn’t be the answer…. even if you were talking in jest.
if they’re going to go to the minors for someone to come up to develop, I’d rather see them bring up Saunders from AA and put him in Left… and Raul at first.

I wish my friend was willing to bet that much.
At one point I had a 10,000-1 $1 bet that the NCAA Final would be Texas-Davidson. I made this before the brackets came out…and my friend was freaking out when they both got to the Sweet Sixteen.

by BrianL on May 11, 2008 1:51 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
IT seems like hes FORCING the count deep
Instead of having a good eye, and LETTING it go deep.
so he gets himself down 2-0 with the mindset of just taking some pitches no matter what.
get him to swing hard and early, and he’ll be set.
but thats just what i think.
