I like Ward.

 

Eh, Macias could have easily done that as well.

 

Mabry too!

I've paid my dues. I only solicit votes once a year, and considering what I did for Derrek Lee a few years back, you'd think you guys wouldn't mind so much.

Don't mind at all. Just teasing you.

Ok. cool. Have you voted? :wink:

Dang. Ward with the game-winning grand slam! It will be nice to have someone who's actually a threat off the bench for a change.

[Guancous]

The beauty is that Ward will be the #2 option off the bench.

 

I didn't mind Mabry off the bench last year. I really minded him replacing a MVP candidate everyday.

What was the crowd's reaction to Sammy like?

What was the crowd's reaction to Sammy like?

 

Half and half.

What was the crowd's reaction to Sammy like?

 

It was a mixed reaction; some clapping along with boos.

This was his first appearance in HoHoKam Park in three years, and the reception was mostly positive but hardly enthusiastic.

 

IMO, it was not mostly positive, it was some where in the middle.

That is some ugly pitching. How does Novoa walk the bases loaded?

I think he really likes Iowa.

 

But the good thing is, Scott Eyre amazingly finished the inning with no runs given up.

I wonder if anyone has picked up Nevin yet. If he realized his career as a starter is done, he's a good bench power option.

Eyre's actually pretty damn good when he isn't injured. :wink:

 

With his offseason fitness routine, I think he's in for a great year.

With very little effort actually.
