    why? you want ryan howard practicing bunts on the one in a million chance he's going to be asked to do it? just because you could bunt in high school against a guy throwing 68 mph doesn't mean every major leaguer is going to be able to do it against a major league pitcher. I get your point and all, but come on....Mike Fontenot is not, and never will be, Ryan Howard. Exactly. Obviously I don't ever expect a guy like Ryan Howard, Aramis, Fielder, etc to be asked to bunt, but a guy like Fontenot HAS to be able to bunt. There's no excuse for him not possessing that skill. Just like any fast player should know how to properly steal a base. And so on. Should, and does are different things. If he doesn't have the skill (and there is no evidence that he does) then just because you think he should doesn't justify asking him to do it. I'm not arguing against you on that one.

    I think I'm sensing sarcasm, and if so I agree. A good friend of mine spent a few years at AAA and had a few cups of coffee with the Royals. He had been a power hitter since he was in Little League, and remained that until he was done playing. I'm not sure he laid down a bunt in his entire life, including LL. Why would someone like that be expected to lay one down at the ML level? Because it's a basic skill of the game that every major league hitter should know how to do. Unless your name is Albert Pujols, I guess.

    I blame you.

    He's not an everyday player.

    So plug the leaks then, Jimmy. Who else was in the room?

    Somebody call the waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahmbulance.

    Same bat time? Same bat channel?

    Maybe I'm the only one that sees it this way, but it looked to me as if he was fanning himself. As in, "I'm really hot right now." He does it because John Cena in the WWE does it and Soriano is a big wrestling fan.

    Ronnie was screaming "YES! YES! YES! YES!" in a high pitched school girl voice. The only good part about my satellite going out was turning on Gameday Audio. :rotfl:
  14. Old Style
    :yahoo: Too bad my satellite went out in the top of the 13th, though. :(
  15. Old Style
    And my GD satellite just went out. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

    Well at least we were in first for more than 24 hours. Not much more, but still.
  21. Old Style
    Let's go Andre White!
  22. Old Style
    Well they have to walk Fox here with the pitcher due up next.
  23. Old Style
    It's a good thing Bradley walks a lot.
  24. Old Style
    Marshall = nails
