It's good to know at least 1 guy on the team wants to play baseball.

 

That got me thinking. Who has come to play this year? I can only come up with a few.

 

Theriot, Lilly, Lee, Guzman, Fuld, Fukudome, and Wells.

 

Guys who have mailed it in?

 

BRADLEY! SORIANO!, SOTO!, are the three worst offenders. You can include Dempster, Gregg, Heilman, Miles, Hoffpauir, Samardzija, and Fontenot.

 

Marginal guys...

 

Marmol, Marshall, Harden, Ramirez, Zambrano, Hill

 

 

So if they did well this year, they came to play...if they did bad they mailed it in, and if they were mediocre or had a lot of injuries, they are considered marginal?

How else would you classify it?

Well Miles is crap. Reguardless of how hard he tries. Heilman pretty much the same. Samardizija had no buisness being up. Fontenot, yeah I can see a guy who after 8 years or so in the minors finally getting his chance to start going, "The heck with trying, I'm big time now."

Ramirez hitting .199/.272/.325/.597 over his last 12 games.

They all picked a good time to go cold. I love the article saying they seemed bothered by not adding a bat. Jesus, where?? Maybe if some of our "studs" started playing like the contracts they have.

As stated often on this board. Stockton is atrocious.

"Ball 1, 1 and 2" as the batter is walking back to the dugout after the 3rd strike.

 

That is what prompted me to mention his atrociousness. Does Stockton even know what Twitter, Myspace and Facebook are?

That's 5 of our 8 regular position starters with sub .600 OPS's over a week or more period. Lee, Fukudome and Baker are all still pulling their weights. Strangely enough they are typically positioned just far enough away from each other to make their individual contributions useless.

 

Auto out, Auto out, Lee, Auto out, Fukudome, Auto out, Baker, Auto out, Auto out

When's the last time we won a game that he announced?

 

Judging by his age, I am guessing it was one of the '45 World Series games.

Didn't he do the clincher last year?

That was Josh Lewin.

I just remember it was the only fox game against the cards where we didn't get the Cardinal crew.
