Pierre With An RBI

Which assures his spot in the outfield for 3 weeks, I'm sure. Back an one hour.

In One Hour

by Tango and Cash on Apr 9, 2008 1:10 PM PDT up reply actions

Juan Pierre wants his job.

If That Motivates Him

To take a walk more often, I'm all for it.

by Tango and Cash on Apr 9, 2008 2:01 PM PDT up reply actions

This might actually turn out okay.

This Game?

Or our outfield situation?

by Tango and Cash on Apr 9, 2008 2:03 PM PDT up reply actions

The game, though Gameday is telling me Kuroda is taking an exceedingly long time to throw an 0-2 pitch to Upton.

Inning Over K

Outside sources are telling me the Diamondbacks are still up, that can't be good.

2-2

Ethier sac fly. He just knows how to win, baby!

by Tango and Cash on Apr 9, 2008 2:13 PM PDT reply actions

When asked how to win, J.D. Drew mentioned something about popcorn shrimp.

I Hope It's Popcorn Shrimp With a Dipping Sauce

If you eat popcorn shrimp without a dipping sauce, your life is forfeit.

Mark Reynolds looking a lot like Tony Batista today.

Nobody's Picked Him Up Yet

In my fantasy league. Surprising.

by Tango and Cash on Apr 9, 2008 2:29 PM PDT reply actions

James Loney!

I should have put him in today! Home run! 3-2 Dodgers!

by Tango and Cash on Apr 9, 2008 2:30 PM PDT reply actions

So that's what it's like when our team hits a home run.

Do You Think Jeff Kent High-Fived Him

In the dugout?

by Tango and Cash on Apr 9, 2008 2:32 PM PDT reply actions

What a Train Wreck.

by Tango and Cash on Apr 9, 2008 2:47 PM PDT up reply actions

I'm glad I just had that impromptu meeting I think.

Damn!

by Tango and Cash on Apr 9, 2008 2:50 PM PDT up reply actions

Double Damn!

4-3

by Tango and Cash on Apr 9, 2008 2:50 PM PDT reply actions

Double Switch

Jones is in, Pierre is out, Kuroda is out. Not sure who is coming in.

by Tango and Cash on Apr 9, 2008 2:51 PM PDT reply actions

I don't think we have any fresh arms left.

You Put Him in Today?

by Tango and Cash on Apr 9, 2008 2:52 PM PDT up reply actions

Oh No.

Park is in.

by Tango and Cash on Apr 9, 2008 2:53 PM PDT reply actions

Does Torre Know We're Only Down by a Run?

by Tango and Cash on Apr 9, 2008 2:53 PM PDT up reply actions

Park?

Um Joe?

by JLS23 on Apr 9, 2008 2:54 PM PDT reply actions

Well at least lets get his blow ups out of the way

and ship him out quickly

by JLS23 on Apr 9, 2008 2:55 PM PDT reply actions

Are you telling me McDonald or Meloan

couldn't pitch mop up? Or Eric Hull for that matter.

by JLS23 on Apr 9, 2008 2:55 PM PDT reply actions

Hull Just Got Traded

To the BoSox for scrap metal.

by Tango and Cash on Apr 9, 2008 2:56 PM PDT up reply actions

I know

Why Im not sure. Never gave him much of a chance

by JLS23 on Apr 9, 2008 2:56 PM PDT up reply actions

Who Knows The Reasons

For Neddy's moves.

by Tango and Cash on Apr 9, 2008 2:57 PM PDT up reply actions

He still works for Sabean

by JLS23 on Apr 9, 2008 2:58 PM PDT up reply actions

Bases are Re-Loaded

Nice walk, Park.

by Tango and Cash on Apr 9, 2008 2:55 PM PDT reply actions

and now we bring in park?
are we trying to lose this game or what?

by saydah on Apr 9, 2008 2:57 PM PDT reply actions

We're going to get swept

And then raped by SD again this weekend. Joy. I hope Peavy gets his hands inspected this time.

by JLS23 on Apr 9, 2008 2:57 PM PDT reply actions

Fatso got a hit

by JLS23 on Apr 9, 2008 2:59 PM PDT reply actions

Maybe There Really is Nobody Left.

by Tango and Cash on Apr 9, 2008 3:10 PM PDT up reply actions

how can it be this early in the season and i am already so depressed by this team?

by saydah on Apr 9, 2008 3:11 PM PDT reply actions

At Least Jason Grabowski Isn't Starting.

by Tango and Cash on Apr 9, 2008 3:15 PM PDT up reply actions

Even though we're sucking

Id be ok as long as all the right guys are playing. Kershaw's debut will be fun.

by JLS23 on Apr 9, 2008 3:15 PM PDT up reply actions

Russ not off to the best start this year.

Co-Author Of The Fourth Most Popular NL West Based Blog On SBN

by Andrew on Apr 9, 2008 3:29 PM PDT reply actions

Nor Mr. Jones
