I don't know how a .260 hitter can get on base a lot without walking a lot...and from his evidence of complete lack of power, why would he walk a lot??

We got what we should have thought we got in U-Boob-O.

The 2 pitchers we gave up for no apparent reason will become the next NL C.Young winners.....of course.

I would like to say,''Thank God we can now pay attention to the Browns."....but I do for a few minutes and then I say, "Well...there's still plenty of baseball left."


Then there's the Cavaliers......but there's still plenty of baseball left.





Maybe Ohio State can be something to look ahead for with a happy face.

As you can tell, my life sucks.

he just does. the guy walks a lot. good vision? He is an upgrade believe it or not, which is pretty sad statement on the team's offense no question and what we were putting in the outfield. (urns started the last two days with Brantley banged up!!) This is pretty much arguing which method of capital punishment you prefer. It matters zero in the end.

They play a game with which I am completely unfamiliar.



How many walk off losses do we now have?

Shapiro is like T-Woods.....he has 2 heads;and a hole in one.

I'm not exactly sure what happened. Shapiro was at his best when we were sellers, not buyers. I can't fathom why they thought we should be buyers this year. I don't know if Shapiro is running it any more or if Antonnetti has full control on these things. Again, I have to think something is wrong with Ubaldo or the rockies wouldn't have dumped him as he is quite cheap for multiple years. It would have been like us trading CC in 2006 rather than 2008, it would have made zero sense. for a guy to have steady progressive improvement for 3 years then fall of the table while under contract and they aggressively seek to dump him is wrong..why would they do that?? I have gone back and forth on it, I am just praying for a miracle is all.

This is fine thinking.

Antonnetti sounds just like Shapiro;silver spoon fed words.Really, he sounds just like him.

How does one get promoted to prez having achieved just about zee-ro?



Trading players you have no hope in resigning in July when you have no hope in contending is easy.The reverse is much tougher .....especially when you have no idea what contending means.

we're gonna show our extreme versatility and try losing 1-0 tonight.

A fine observation....I think Acta can smell it,too.He won't be able to resist pinch hitting with Urns.


Jesus!... do we strike out a lot or what!?
