Fred Hornkohl

This is a really bad idea.

I can't decide which "Fred is old" joke to go with here. Back to the topic, I remember Meth defending Jason Marquis along the same lines: that his above average bat made up for his meh pitching ability. I just don't see how 2-3 abs balances out 6-7 innings of pitching. re: "Fred is old" jokes...... insert any one randomly. They're all good, no? re: Jason Marquis...... What's going on there. I know he was having some problems earlier, but I see now he's not even on the Nationals roster. Did he get released ??? edit: OK, I see he's just been placed on the 15 day DL.... expected to be out for 6 weeks..... taking cortisone and rest for bone chips instead of surgery.

That might be a little bit ambitious given the weather forecast. Cold with string winds out of the NNE (in from left field) is gonna make it next to impossible to hit one out tonight or tomorrow night. Wednesday afternoon may be better. Of course, this weather is good for our pitchers.... who haven't allowed a HR in the last four games !!!

:shock: I hadn't really looked at anything other than his season totals but wow. He is beyond woeful right now. Aaron Miles could do better than that. Heck even Pujols could do that even though he is fallen off. Ramirez was carrying an OPS of around .600 when the CUBS hit NY a week ago. .600 is a bad slump..... but then he went 0 for NY, and the numbers went right through the floor. He's only had 2 hits since then, and those came in the last 2 games. He seems to be making better contact and hitting the ball with authority on Sunday. I sure hope that's a sign that he's coming out of the funk that he's been in. We really need Ramirez..... we're not facing Milwaukee this week, eh?
