Felix threw nothing but outside FB to Clark all day

I wonder if this is everyone’s approach or just our own wunderkind’s genius gameplan. Seems like a terrible idea to me. Goose?

Shrug

Clark’s old and he sucks. Seems like you could just go right after him to me. I’ve never really noticed pitchers pitching a specific way against him.

Everyone gets along much better after a late inning DP in a close game

Leadership.

Someone had to fill the WB grittyness role.

I never really liked the old tagline.

Question:

Should Wak consider playing Branyan in LF to get Carp’s lefty bat in the lineup against some RHPs? that would give us Branyan, Carp, Ichiro, and Griffey as lefties.

Branyan also seems servicable at corner OF: 0.5 UZR/150 in 54 games 2006 (-61.8 UZR/150 in 13 games in 2007, but still).

This feels like the Sounders-DCU game.

With Aards out, I would really like several dozen more runs.

I didn't.

But then again I am always optimistic about young players.

Hah!

Intentional walk to pitch to a guy hitting .444!

Damn, good move.

So good, the player’s average dropped 44 points!

Well fantastic

At least we have the meat of our lineup coming up.

Jose Lopez gets nowhere near that ball.

So,

Texas lost. Yay.

It was perfect.

Much like Rizza lead up call on Boone and Cameron’s back-to-back homeruns, back-to-back times on May 2, 2002.

I do, but it doesn't work anymore.

I have tried contacting MLB.com on getting access to it, but they have been terrible in responding to the matter.

With 4 homers, Cameron crows

Why do you leave that on

When he’s already missed two down the line? Moronic.
