At least Silva is eating innings.

And by innings I mean chili dogs.

Sorry, man.

I had no idea.

by Teej on May 30, 2008 6:22 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

It's OK

the last thing he said to me was that they were delicious, run-free innings.

by seattlebruin on May 30, 2008 6:23 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

That's good to hear.

Because he if he actually died from eating too many chili dogs, he definitely wouldn’t have been run-free.

No, that would be wither

Everyone else: You are a fucking retard

Dodgers offense finally showing up

This makes me happy.

I can’t believe how horrible the Dodgers are at hitting home runs.I thought for sure Kemp would provide some home run power and that Loney would be a bit better.

Jose Reyes has more homers than anyone on the Dodger though, what the hell is up with that?

The Dodgers could be a tough team to watch on offense for awhile given that most of their regulars are young kids, if none of them ever develops power…

Sorry my NL fandom kicked there for a moment.

My Yankee-fan friend keeps telling me that “the Rays have already blown their load.”

So with every win, I laugh a little bit harder.

I told people during the offseason that

the Rays were gonna be good sooner than they thought, the Yankees fans scoffed saying they’d been hearing it for years.

Its been pretty delicious so far watching them eat their words.

Nice. I wish I could have gotten to Vegas before the season.

The over on the Rays was free money. I would have been tempted to take the under on the Mariners, but I just don’t think I could have done it. I’d feel a little too dirty.

I work with two women who are Giants fans who grew up in the Bay Area. They’re not die-hard to the point where they’re really down about everything, but it’s gotta be hard to know your favorite team won’t compete for at least the next half-decade.

Wait, we’re getting close to that point, aren’t we?

Also, maybe NathanHo was right, we should’ve burned the tree, we should’ve been unhappy with our success last year because it definitely damaged our franchise more than helping it.

It sure is great they traded Baek

for a sack of dirt. I mean, a capable, back-of-the-rotation starter for league minimum pay is significantly less valuable then a $40+ million groundball pitcher who can’t induce groundballs or strike anyone out. GO MARINERS!!!
