I'd switch Teahen and Grudz

But otherwise that’s probably about as good as it can be right now against RHP. Against LHP you definitely get Olivo in there somewhere.

All The Gload

You can stand and more. At least he is starting to hit some; he has always had a decent BA, so he’s due. Mostly singles, the occasional double and a homer or 2 or 5 are about what you get from Rossy, and that’s better than he’s been.

I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.

the crazy thing about it

is the last 2 or 3 games, when he has come up, I’ve been thinking; “OK Gload, c’mon now, step up here and bloop one in”, as opposed to the rest of the year when I was saying, “Ah shit, we’re F’d”

I'll like that lineup a lot more...

once we put DDJ in CF, Butler at 1B, and Olivo at DH.

by Bart41 on Jul 1, 2008 6:55 PM EDT   0 recs

Olivo at DH against lefties

I’m of the opinion that his hotness against righties is over….but either way

I Miss The

Old Brooklyn Avenue wall at Municipal Stadium. I don’t know how far from home it was, but very few ever cleared it. It was strictly for lefties; I think Norm Siebern might have done it for us.

Way to hustle out there, Guillen

I’m sure Gathright has the range to play both left and center all night

i hate ryan...

although, were an inning and a half in and he hasnt talked about fans bringing their gloves to the game

TPJ...you're dead to me

by billybeingbilly on Jul 1, 2008 7:43 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I like Ryan a lot.

The glove thing does get tiresome, though.

DeJesus when he's healthy.

And I think it was Split who suggested the move back to the DH role.

is German worse in LF than Guillen is now?

he hurts us more at the plate...

than guillen does in the field, b/c you know it’ll be billy who’s the odd man out rather than gload

i really think ryan is hoping some nutjob mlb player will...

actually get to him and hit him so he can sue and go get drunk in peace

by billybeingbilly on Jul 1, 2008 7:46 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

ya i think so too...

here is what he says next “and here comes Kevin Millar… this sorry sack of shit has never been a good player some people will say he is horrible.. i threw up last time i saw him strike out”

he pisses me off...he didnt used to be so god damned opinionated....

i dont care what you think ryan…really, you’re a play by play guy…tell me what happened, not what you think of someones haircut or how they wear their socks

TPJ...you're dead to me

by billybeingbilly on Jul 1, 2008 7:50 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I like him..

i didnt like him pointing out the fact that guillen didnt do shit and kept going on and on about so the fans will hate guillen more

I'm surprised they didn't mention the shadows.

Maybe he just didn’t see the ball.

i feel like the media is loving the jose guillen experiment...

he makes it so easy to be a lazy journalist…ask about the fans booing….he’ll go off…ask what he thinks of the team, he’ll go off….theres kietzmans entire show there
