I’d much rather see Delgado go the other way than have him hit a home run.

You think Kuroda will end up being a waste of money?

by Tango and Cash on May 6, 2008 7:25 PM PDT reply actions

More than likely. I think he’ll be solid this year and struggle a lot more in the next two.

If he keeps giving up jacks like this, we won’t even get this year.

Stupid David Wright.

What happened? Did he hit a homer? Is Gameday lagging that badly? I’ve still got the Dodgers up. Are they still up to bat?

by Tango and Cash on May 6, 2008 7:34 PM PDT up reply actions

He dove to stop Kemp’s hit down the line, saved two RBI.

Man, Matt Kemp is stealing bases like crazy. He’s got an 80% success rate.

by Tango and Cash on May 6, 2008 7:33 PM PDT reply actions

This is going to be a long game.

by Tango and Cash on May 6, 2008 7:41 PM PDT reply actions

It’s new Rock Band song day, so I might mind.

What's the Song?

Is it “Free Ride”?

by Tango and Cash on May 6, 2008 7:48 PM PDT up reply actions

Date With The Night by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Plus a shitty Fallout Boy Song.

Isn’t the shitty redundant? “Fallout Boy song” implies that.

by Tango and Cash on May 6, 2008 7:54 PM PDT up reply actions

Very true. Though i do want to say “Have you heard the new Fallout Boy song? IT GETS ME PUMPED!

what tha

why the hell is ethier sitting again? i can’t take anymore of andruw being in the lineup

by CSon on May 6, 2008 8:21 PM PDT reply actions

Small sample size plus his contract.

Kuroda is reminding me of Kaz Ishii.

Date With The Night/GTA 4 is sounding very appealing now.

God dammit Wright has good instincts.

The team that traded Jason Bay and Scott Kazmir for Lou Merloni and Victor Zambrano does not deserve Reyes and Wright.

Real Question Here

Russ or McCann?

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

by Andrew on May 6, 2008 8:34 PM PDT reply actions

Russ

I think he has the edge in D and patience, making up for Mccann’s power advantage.

by dan310 on May 6, 2008 8:40 PM PDT up reply actions

future outfield

i wouldn’t mind the dodgers eventually going to an outfield of ethier, kemp and d. young

by CSon on May 6, 2008 8:36 PM PDT reply actions

I’m still holding out hope for Andruw. Bear in mind I really don’t like Delwyn.

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

by Andrew on May 6, 2008 8:38 PM PDT up reply actions

small sample size

isn’t all of last year and all of april this year kinda prove andruw’s done? and what’s wrong with delwyn. i’ll give you that he’s a little deficient defensively

by CSon on May 6, 2008 8:42 PM PDT up reply actions

It’s entirely possible, but his track record is good enough that I’ll give him time. I think Delwyn’s ceiling is Craig Monroe, so I don’t really care about him as anything but a 4th outfielder.

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

by Andrew on May 6, 2008 8:44 PM PDT up reply actions

Thank you Delgado for being useless defensively.

Kuo is god.

Kuo

I forget, why isn’t he starting?

control

i think it’s his lack of and inconsistent control

by CSon on May 6, 2008 9:10 PM PDT up reply actions

great

he walked the pitcher

by CSon on May 6, 2008 9:06 PM PDT reply actions

Wow Kuo you’re great sometimes

by kretz on May 6, 2008 9:16 PM PDT reply actions

If the man could be a little consistent he’d be amazing.

It’s pretty similar.

You know the Pedro Guerro story right?

by Andrew on May 6, 2008 9:33 PM PDT up reply actions

no please tell

by kretz on May 6, 2008 9:34 PM PDT up reply actions

Tommy asks Pedro Guerrero, “what are you thinking when they pitch it”?

“Please don’t hit it to me”.

“Okay, what else are you thinking”

“Please don’t hit it to Sax”.
