Z! Keep that damn hand away from a ball hit up the middle. Man I wish he'd stop doing that.

[Outshined_One]

Z needs to stop trying to field comebackers with his pitching hand.

[Omar]

[Omar]

[Mizzou]

Geez Aramis, don't bother hustling or anything, just jog to first.

[Moller1679666555]

Geez Aramis, don't bother hustling or anything, just jog to first.

 

That was almost more "amble" than "jog".

[Coach C]

And Hollansworth's hit get taken away from the minor leaguer.

[USSoccer]

Trinidad Rodruiguez makes a great catch......

[Omar]

(Insert 4-letter word here)!!!...

 

Good contact by Holla..

[Blueheart05]

Holla got robbed of extras by the sub

[JoshiQ]

That Rodriguez has me hating him already.

[Outshined_One]

[expletive] Rodriguez.

 

Maybe I can start for the Cardinals in LF for a season, win a gold glove, hit .330, and chalk up 20 HRs with 95 RBIs.

[Coach C]

Warning track power today.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Ugh.

 

As a CF, I have to say Jim Edmonds should have caught that one.

[Fred Hornkohl]

And that's why I hated the small ball last inning. Carpenter is getting hit hard tonight. You can't just give up outs.
