Hell Yeah!

Joe Torre is the man! Another manager I really like is Mike Scoscia of the Angels. Sorry I think I completely butchered his name.

Answer:

Not if Juan Pierre is going to be batting second and Russell Martin’s walks that far down in the lineup.

At this point

I’d take almost anyone besides Willie Randolph.

So Beltran is still hurt. Lovely.

I literally

hate that guy!

by MAN in the BOX on May 5, 2008 10:08 PM EDT up 0 recs

that's good

It’s hard to figuratively hate people.

by anonymous on May 5, 2008 10:17 PM EDT up 0 recs

actually...

it’s .425, with 9 home runs, 27 RBI, .717 SLG, and .472 OBP (for OPS of 1.189) Go Larry!

by sddbaker on May 6, 2008 3:48 PM EDT up 0 recs

Any predictions..

on which Ollie will show up tonight?

by MAN in the BOX on May 5, 2008 10:00 PM EDT 0 recs

Looks like the one from late 2006

by Simons on May 5, 2008 10:21 PM EDT up 0 recs

Here we go

by Eric Simon on May 5, 2008 10:10 PM EDT 0 recs

Billingsley

Got a bit of tank ass going on, eh?

by Eric Simon on May 5, 2008 10:11 PM EDT 0 recs

I like Vin Scully

by Simons on May 5, 2008 10:11 PM EDT 0 recs

Me too..he’s a machine.

by MAN in the BOX on May 5, 2008 10:12 PM EDT up 0 recs

He's no Mark Grace

by Eric Simon on May 5, 2008 10:12 PM EDT up 0 recs

No

don’t go there

by MAN in the BOX on May 5, 2008 10:13 PM EDT up 0 recs

That was quick

Three up, one pop-up and two strikeouts.

by Eric Simon on May 5, 2008 10:15 PM EDT 0 recs

i bet that tank ass is why he’s gonna be a strike out machine..lol.

by MAN in the BOX on May 5, 2008 10:16 PM EDT up 0 recs

Worked for El Sid

Amongst others. Jonathan Broxton is a big boy, too.

I hope I picked the under on balls-hit-out-of-the-infield

by Simons on May 5, 2008 10:17 PM EDT 0 recs

What's the likelihood Gary mentions Furcal's absurd BABIP?

One in a million?

by Eric Simon on May 5, 2008 10:18 PM EDT 0 recs

that's one way to keep it up

Hard to make an out on a ball batted that far.

by anonymous on May 5, 2008 10:18 PM EDT up 0 recs

never in a million years

by DoctorK16 on May 5, 2008 10:19 PM EDT up 0 recs

fuck

by DoctorK16 on May 5, 2008 10:18 PM EDT 0 recs

and again with calling him Bel-trann

I know, I know….

by Simons on May 5, 2008 10:19 PM EDT up 0 recs

Better than Jon Miller

who pronounces it bel-TRON.

by Eric Simon on May 5, 2008 10:20 PM EDT up 0 recs

?

Isn’t that, you know, more like the right way to say it? Not that I like Jon Miller in any way, you understand.

by anonymous on May 5, 2008 10:21 PM EDT up 0 recs

the correct way to say it is . . .

tranny.

by jessef on May 5, 2008 10:22 PM EDT up 0 recs

As opposed to BEL-tron?

Not sure. I’m no master of ethnic pronunciation.

by Eric Simon on May 5, 2008 10:22 PM EDT up 0 recs

excuse me, that's "pronunciation of color"

I think it is actually Carlos Beltrán, accent on the second syllable. Not that Miller speaks a word of Spanish—he probably just stumbled onto that by accident.
