I remember my best friend was pumped to see it because it was a superhero movie, and I remember seeing the preview and how dumb it looked (particularly the gamma ray dogs or whatever they were). And I kept on warning him not to see it. The first thing he said after he came back to it was “You were right.”

Dang, we could have got him there.

Woo! Eat that, David Wright! The fantasy league I own you in doesn’t count batter strikeouts!

So does Ethier sit for Pierre when there’s a “tough lefty?”

by Tango and Cash on May 5, 2008 8:01 PM PDT reply reply 0 recs

I think since Kemp and Pierre are red hot and Jones makes a lot of money Ethier gets it in the shorts.

Pierre's been getting on base

Still no power, in the bat or the arm. Ethier should be getting most of the starts, no?

Of course, and to Torre’s credit Ethier has gotten more plate appearances than any of our outfielders.

It’s just that when you give 44 million to a one tool player, you end up being forced into some bad decisions.

Hopefully, another team will want him eventually.

The Padres legitimately need Juan Pierre, but we wouldn’t trade with them.

Plus there’s guy like Rajai Davis getting DFAed all the time, so that makes things harder.

If a trade is beneficial between both teams, there shouldn’t be any problem with trading with the Padres. I wish teams would stop caring so much about trading within the division.

Havoc on the basepaths: wreaked.

Dewitt takes the career lead in curtain calls from LaRoche.

Everytime Blake DeWitt hits a homer, LaRoche spends another week in the minors.

The silent treatment thing was pretty funny.

Whats this about silent treatment?

Whole dugout was completely silent once Dewitt made it back to the bench. They mobbed him five seconds later.

Looking back on it, the Kuo bat flip was the only good thing to come from last year.

It’s getting to the point where I’m happy to see Andruw hit into a double play because at least he hit it hard.

I might have to drop him from my fantasy team if he’s still pulling this crap in June.

I

have to agree with Vin, the bats being used to today are awful, I see a broken one almost every game

by EdfromAZ on May 5, 2008 9:22 PM PDT reply reply 0 recs

Wow

with the Phillies win we are only 3 out of the division, how quickly things can change…I hope we can remain at this level of play consistently, the bats were great at home again.

a happy cinco de drinko to all.

O.A.
