I know. They won't even give Pie a courtesy start a day before they option him to AAA. I like Reed Johnson, and he is what he is.....a 4th OF, strictly a platoon player, but I don't get the fetish of him starting against RHers.

Especially a REALLY REALLY GOOD RHP

People say that Lou only starts Pie against tough righties, thus putting him in positions to fail. Now people bitch when Lou doesn't start him against a tough righty. Come on, at least be consistent.

If you're in LA, Orange County or (of course) San Diego, 1090 AM will do the trick. The color man for the Padres sounds very much like Lou Piniella. Totally threw me off while I was listening to the games the last two days.

People want him to start against all righties. Starting him solely against the best of righties and then having the team criticize his play is pretty unfair. Not starting him against righties period is ridiculous.

 

I guess people shouldn't bitch since we have Reed Johnson and his .643 OPS against righties (.660 overall) and Jimmy Boy and his .533 OPS against righties (.498 overall).

I agree. But that really doesn't have anything to do with my post.

Hey Soriano, remember I said you would hit a least 3 HRs this series. Don't fail me now.

Never again will I say well this isn't that bad of a pickup, he could be a decent platoon player.

How so?

[BigSlick]

Everyone pray to their favorite deity for Edmonds to fail his physical

 

Nothing would make me happier to see Jim Fat Hendry denied another crappy player for Lou to play around with. Every year he has to acquire some crappy player for the manager to overuse

 

And he already gave Lou Reed Johnson!

Cause I was commenting on people who complain when Lou starts him against tough righties, and then complain when he doesn't start him against tough righties. I thought it seemed pretty straight forward, but maybe not.

[David]

Lilly looking good so far.

[Schwarber Fan]

Good start for Ted

[splintersag]

Nice start. Three K's to begin the game.

[killthegoat06]

Lilly strikes out the side.

[Chocolate Milk]

Lilly looks to have great command so far. This bodes well.

 

Please force Peavy to throw strikes. Try to get his PC up and get him out of this game.

[AFCubsFan]

Oh great...now the racist fans at Wrigley are holding up a KKK sign after that inning.

[cubweiser03]
