So... assuming Batista doesn't get out of the inning... is he going to get any more starts?
It looks like they are going to bring Dickey in. This guy hasn’t pitched a half-way decent game in a really long time. I’m not sure even our manager can keep throwing him out there.
Maybe I’m putting way too much faith in squinty.

Boston fans booed him last year.

To be fair Guillen had an awesome year.
Regardless, Drew fits the park better and is a better hitter…and defender.
Yesterday's Pants

That's the difference between us and Boston
When they overpay for someone they still get acceptable production from them.
Ibanez .266/.337/.445 this year
I know that’s a little worse, but still…
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!
Granted, but it's like .012 OPS difference.
And for most purposes the batting averages are identical.
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!
Comment was purely about hitting.
I said nothing about defense. >_>
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!
OBP is more important than SLG. OPS doesn't tell the whole story.

But then you have to consider that, Ibanez has played every day,
It’s only a matter of time till Drew breaks something. Again.

That was the same game
You guys wasted my HR. The one thing that made that game worth it was you trying to out do Matthew’s diving catch and totally rauling it and landing face first in the grass.
No we played two games that day.
And Matthew’s diving catch came after I Raul’d it. And it was a slide, not a dive. I landed in a sitting position, then stood up. What game are you recalling?

I skipped the four hours of pre-game but the race itself might me amusing.
[not someone who ever watches horse racing]
Goddamit so much for having this read to go:
Goombas (クリボー, Kuribō?) are depicted as brown mushroom-like creatures with feet, bushy eyebrows, and a pair of fangs sprouting from their lower jaw. They generally tackle, headbonk, or bite an enemy. The Goombas once lived in peace in the Mushroom Kingdom, but they betrayed their homeland to side with Bowser.
