$136 million folks.

 

Followed by several million more wasted dollars

[Anomalied]

His OBP is the same as Pierre's was last season... and people still give me crap when I say he shouldn't be leading off.

Who gives you crap?

[Keener98]

Raisin, you know anything about the kid we got from the Reds for Coats? RHP Marcus Mateo?

Who gives you crap?

 

I think the resounding majority is opposed to Soriano in the leadoff position. Theriot's been the popular consensus for a long time now!

[C.C.]

I have a bad feeling about this game. I just do.

[Derwood]

wow, girls in hot pants step dancing to "deep in the heart of texas". Cubs thinking "we ain't in Chi-town anymore"

[weatherdood]

Raisin, you know anything about the kid we got from the Reds for Coats? RHP Marcus Mateo?

 

Had a 3.50 ERA in A ball this year... 60ish Ks in 75ish innings

[Derwood]

Damnit, bring on our bullpen, this might be interesting.

How old is he?

[JGalt73]

Who's even available in the bullpen?

[TMan92]

I wish baseball games were four innings long. Nobody warming up....What are our coasches doing. Oh God, Wood is up.

[Keener98]

Please don't panic here Lou. He'll be fine.

 

Wood up, buckle up folks
