Dang it, Soriano trying to be a spraying, opposite field hitter. Should have pulled it.

why does ludwick have a scabby right eye?

 

He tripped over his bag in the middle of the night and did a face plant. He also apparently has a huge rug burn on his back from the same incident. Heard that on one of the morning sports radio shows down here. Actually a rather humorous story.

 

seriously???

 

that is freaking awesome...was he loaded?

 

He was chilling with Pawelek.

Hot dogs without ketchup are still fail. Sorry, Chicago.

 

You're one of THOSE people? Mustard, no ketchup... :mrgreen:

He tripped over his bag in the middle of the night and did a face plant. He also apparently has a huge rug burn on his back from the same incident. Heard that on one of the morning sports radio shows down here. Actually a rather humorous story.

 

I'm thinking there's like a 5% chance that's the real story, though.

 

Mound help!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fontenot grounded an IF single to the pitcher

Don't know. It happened after one of the games in Cincinatti. But I would say it's a distinct possibility. The next morning the first thing he did was call his wife to tell her what happened so she wouldn't get suspicious.

[genbar]

Take some more pitches, Koyie.

[PrimeTime]

Take some pitchers you moron

[JonJayCutler]

I'll never understand why people put half a garden on their hot dogs. Mustard and onions only please.

[Fred Hornkohl]

K. Hill popped out to shortstop

most likely, with mustache securely in tow, he challenged a local barman to a draw

 

i am thinking the local barman's fists won the high after midnight duel

[hawkeyecub]

Seriously, how did the wrist problems/ warning track power just dissappear? Now he's hitting them oppo and just cranking it?

 

His bat just looks SO much quicker than it did in April/early May. He's able to turn on inside pitches he wasn't catching up to earlier and driving the ball to right often enough.

 

God we have some idiot fans booing Soriano when he actually drove an outside pitch pretty hard opposite field.

[genbar]

Dang, Rich.

[E.J.]

Harden should be batting 5th.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Harden singled to center field , Fontenot to second

[Butterscup1679666578]

Hot dogs without ketchup are still fail. Sorry, Chicago.

 

Couldn't agree more.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Rich Harden 2-2. Can he play 2B?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Come on Reed, make me care that you back on the team.

i am probably completely wrong on this, but i think lee is finally just letting it go and trusting his wrist again

[str8carter]

He says it was caused by luggage. But his wife probably smacked him. As far as the pornstache's go...the bullpen started it and it kinda caught on.

Hey if Harden can't pitch and with his speed, can't we make him a SS or 2B?
