Outshined_One

I blinked and I missed the bottom half of the 9th. Go figure. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

It's only April...but man, I really love this team.

Well, this was an unexpected 8th inning. Good! :D

I get the feeling Cedeno will surprise people this season.

Gameday has Soto with four swinging strikes in a row. That's a new one on me.

Racist. I will not go for the cheap laugh...I will not go for the cheap laugh...

Ball 1 and Strike 2 were pretty much the same pitch. Nicely done, Angel.

Just for Men results in unusual shininess.

He's over 100 pitches and it's only April. Don't wear him down, imo.

It's a purely subjective call that varies wildly from umpire to umpire. It needs a bright line revision, imo.

I'm surprised they haven't shown the Victor Diaz game yet. How much blame did Dusty get? I'm guessing none.

Fukudome likes it when opposing pitchers need Tommy John Surgery.

I'd like to thank Carlos Beltran for his timely slumping.

I hate Luis Castillo.

I hate Endy Chavez.

I like walks and chasing the pitcher early. Keep up the fun, Derrek!

Bada-boom!

While I would agree it would be nice to see him miss more bats, Chien MIng Wang for the Yankees has done alright without really striking a lot of guys out. He also gets groundballs at an insane rate. I like seeing Samardzija get a bunch of infield popups, but he's nowhere near Wang's level in that respect.

Try not to suck, Cubs.

lol What else would you tell him to do? Have Joe Buck, Tim McCarver, John Kruk, Steve Phillips, and Joe Morgan secretly kidnapped and stranded on a remote desert island to live out their lives.

So you're saying he plays baseball in a wheelchair? :P
