Outshined_One

I like this inning.

Oh my God. What a fantastic call.

Wat?

Time for The Great White Hope to do his thing.

Keith Moreland is starstruck.

Well, it's not Jeff Gordon bad.

Nuts.

Is Kyle Lohse in a Pedostache contest with Schumaker or something?

That was quite the happy bat flip from Milton.

"Have Keith Moreland drop a routine fly..."

Apparently the sun is delightfully bright today.

Infield pop-up, Theriot mis-plays it, Baker picked it up just off of 2B and tagged Pujols out as Pujols was trying to slide into 2B.

That was a decidedly unexpected 1-2-3.

That...worked?

Boise is getting destroyed 9-0. The offense and pitching have been pretty bad for them this season.

Nah, Lenny's boy is Cutter Dykstra. He's playing in the Brewers system.

Bah, Castro and Vitters have the day off with Daytona. Stupid futures game!!

Not a makeup. The wrists broke and he went past the plate. Looked like he managed to hold up. At the very least, that's a call the 3B umpire should be making.

Thanks for the makeup call, ump.

Oh dear God.

I love how many plays we've seen this season that hurt us because our middle infielders are dwarves.

I want to see Piniella and LaRussa argue with each other.
