Got back from the game...a few notes:

 

Soriano looks so much better than a week or two ago. He's able to stop his bat on the terrible pitches now for check swings, and he can then actually do something with the hangers. Definitely the biggest positive to come out of the day today.

 

Theriot had an up and down day, but definitely more up than down. 3 times on base, and some absolutely sparkling defense today on balls that any SS would have trouble consistently making. Also one of the two times he wasn't on base, he had a very sharp line drive (from watching the play again on TV, it doesn't do it justice of how quick the ball was on the first baseman). Of course the CS drags it down and is very frustrating, although I do agree with someone that Lee doesn't take strike 2 right down the middle of the plate unless it was said from the bench.

 

Howry looked good today. That's 4 straight innings without an earned run (the only run he gave up in those innings was the St. Louis game when Soriano let those two easy fly balls drop, and Lee also made an error). I think he may have turned a corner.

 

I was the only fan around me who was really upset that Marmol was coming in. I don't understand why Chad Fox is on this team. He can't go multiple innings, he can't go multiple days, and if they refuse to use him in a 5 run game, when will they again? That was the only really upsetting part of the day.

 

Well besides Johnson continuing to start against rightys, Id agree. I cant believe Felix didnt get to start the last 2 games, and with Johnson on the mound tomorrow Im sure he will sit then too. Lou is screwing over Felix right now, and its indefensible.

 

 

I would agree with that. I decided to leave Johnson alone because he did his job yesterday, but I wasn't happy about that when I heard the lineups.

He did?

 

Yes. He had 4 at-bats, and got hit twice, which as we know is more of a skill of Johnson's than random luck. It's essentially his way of drawing walks.

 

1 of his other 2 at-bats he was asked to put down a sacrifice bunt, which he did.

 

So he struck out once, got on base twice, and laid down a bunt when asked the other time. His defense wasn't really tested yesterday, so not much to say either way on his defense.

This was the outstanding crowd control expert in our area. Though I do want to know what he was writing about me in that notebook.

Glad I'm not the only one noticing Roast feeling himself up.

 

And Sulleymon in an Ole Miss hoody is classic.

 

SSR managed to look drunk in all 3.5 pics he was in.

The odd part is that he wasn't like that during the game. I, on the other hand, only stopped once the camera was turned on.

 

It was definitely a good game to go to and was nice meeting everyone.

I always thought Laura was black, and Yeti weighed more. Good move in doing away with the chinstrap Roast (I know you did that a while back).

Who's that chubby guy that ate Roast? I think we need a side-by-side comparison of 16-year-old Roast to today's version of Roast.

roast discovered beer

Hahaha, this.

 

Well, that, and the fact that since moving to college I have been jobless *until recently* and also not been doing TKD. Less exercise + beer = chubby roast. I'm working on losing it though.
