Wooden shoe like to know
Trust me, Meat, you will be SHOCKED when you read the August scoreboard tomorrow, so make sure you aren’t standing in a body of water with bare feet
You're ceding your points to me?
Sweet. I’m glad you’re being so gracious about it.

After last night's game, none of us in good conscience could take the Phillies.
In good sense, perhaps. But not in good conscience.

I want to get excited about Johan
but the bullpen prevents me from doing so.

I'm excited about Johan
Mainly because he’s decided to never leave anything up to the middle relievers again.

bold statement
i would say that Jerry Manuel agrees with you. based on last night’s comments he seems to be determined to pitch the arms off the starters in order to win.

He's a useful guy
But every time I see him in the lineup he’s batting second. Maybe it just stands out to me.
While we’re on the subject, Ahern is 7-16 for the Nats, and it totally isn’t a small sample size. He’s just a .438/.438/.438 hitter.

Graphic Evidence Against Steroid Abuse
Know anybody who’s using steroids and just won’t stop, despite all your good advice?
Then show them this picture. (Potentially NSFW, and gross — hence its after-the-jump position.)
Depicted is a 21-year-old amateur bodybuilder who arrived at a clinic in Dusseldorf, Germany with severe acne on his chest and upper back.
He was a constant user of anabolic-androgenic steroids, of which acne is a side effect — as is damaged sperm and shrunken testicles, both of which he also possessed.
Doctors ordered the patient to quit steroids and start taking antibiotics. Two months later, the acne was gone. So was the muscle. Only gruesome scarring remained — and as his doctors wrote last week in the Lancet, that “is likely to remain with the young man for the rest of his life.”

Just a thought
Didn’t Gary say this is Reyes’ 56th mult-hit game this year? In, let’s see, 131 games? And doesn’t it seem like Wright almost never gets two hits in a game? So how come Reyes is hitting .306, and Wright is hitting around .293? I know Reyes has had more AB, but their averages are fairly similar for two guys whose production seems so dissimilar.

Yes, it does
But doesn’t it “seem” like that to you, too?
"I don't need to wipe everyone out, Tom. Just my enemies." - Al Pacino as Michael Corleone
27 more walks
for Wright may explain it (from Baseball Reference — not sure if they do in game updates, so that may be going into tonight).
"the game, like life, is full of men who are bitter, forgotten, and misunderstood. " - Joshua Love, Pitchfork, August 12, 2008
not sure
It could be that Reyes has more 2-for-5 or 3-for-5 games, with a good number of 0-for-4 games thrown in, while Wright has a lot more 1-for-4 games and 2- or 3-for-4 games.
It’s the way the human mind works, but maybe we have a way of forgetting Reyes’s bad games or something.
