A direct result of him dispersing so much pollen with his swings lately.

This after being dropped to 8th in the batting order on Monday. He might be the 8th worst hitter in the starting lineup, but he doesn't need to be put in that spot to swing at sliders low and away, so the opposing team can get to the pitcher.

Even in L.A.,the guy is really hearing it from the fans tonite.100k a game to pop up and strikeout isn't sitting well.They should blame the guy who made the decision to pay him 17 mil a year(after hitting about .225 last season.)It's the guy's birthday.How can ya boo him om his birthday? LOL...Maybe he will somehow run into a pitch like he did last weekend in Atlanta.

He's been getting boo'd since the second week when they returned home to face the Pad's. I went to the Peavy v Penny game that friday and it sounded like Tomko was back in town every time Jones waddled to the plate.

No way he could have regressed this much. If he was batting .240 thats one thing, but .159 ?? Is this a hex from Seattle for Beltre's first year?

CANON jinxed the young man.........Even Andruw got a hit in his last at bat.It was one of those nights that the Dodgers decide to go out and find a way to beat somebody.They are doing that every other game at home,but like every fifth game on the road.They are teasers (at best.) If they can get somebody on an off night(like Haren had,) then they can hit that,but any other kind of pitching blows them away.

Strike out leaders :

1 Ryan Howard PHI 37
2 Mark Reynolds ARI 35
3 Chris Young ARI 32
4 Carlos Pena TAM 31
5 Andruw Jones LAD 29

Andruw has only the 5th most in all of baseball.Problem is the top 4 all have 5-7 home runs,and he has still got 1!
