I'd like to see them do it every day but that probably won't happen in our lifetime.

[Outshined_One]

I hate Dusty for what he's done to Murton.

[Flames24Rulz]

6 groundball outs already. GOSH.

Ugh. That's what I need to see. More "Grounded out to pitcher, 4-3"

[Outshined_One]

Time for The Gopher to get to work.

Neifi batting 2nd is getting really old.

 

Not to me, it's not.

Only Neifi can have a lower OBP than BA. ;)

 

how is that possible?

Maybe Dusty change his managing style philosophy in the near future...It's our only hope since management is hell bent on extending him.

Rusch with 17 pitches through 1 inning.

Sacrifices

 

to be technical, that's sacrifice flies as opposed to sacrifice bunts.

[Outshined_One]

The similarities between Juan Encarnacion and Jock are jarring.

[Brian]

Sacrifices

 

Can we sacrifice Neifi.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Encarnacion singled to right field

Sacrifices

 

So if he sacrifices the at bat doesn't get factored in to the BA but it does to OBP? What about SLG?

[Outshined_One]

Surplus of pitching for the Cardinals? Que???

 

I'm sure the Angels would be dying to trade Vlad Guerrero for Blake Hawksworth and Adam Wainwright.

Can we sacrifice Neifi.

 

I don't believe that includes ritual sacrifices :wink:
