sucked ass lately. I’m in Chicago working so didn’t get to see or comment on the game, but it sounds like the entire team is in a funk right now. It’s contagious, but unless we go all Baltimore Orioles and go 4-32 or something to finish out, it’s just part of the ebb and flow, I guess.

Go get ‘em tomorrow, I’ll be there in spirit.

to nubs right now. I was switching back and forth between the game and the Olympics and it was 5-3 and RamRod was in the game. I turned back 15 minutes later and it was 8-5. I couldn’t believe it. I’m glad I didn’t watch it, because I might have done physical harm to the TV set. Unbelievable.

P.S. Beer is alway appropriate

BROOKLYN, Mich. — Pat Green may think twice the next time before asking for a cold one.

The last time he did it, the Texas-born country singer-songwriter was knocked out cold.

Green performed Saturday night at the Michigan International Speedway after NASCAR’s Carfax 250 race. He’s best known for the 2003 hit “Wave on Wave.”

The Jackson Citizen Patriot reports that late in his show, he shouted, “Anyone got a beer?”

A can of suds suddenly soared from the audience onto the stage. Then a second can from the crowd hit Green between the eyes, knocking him out.

Medical personnel treated him at the track.

A phone message seeking an update on Green’s condition was left Tuesday at his publicist’s office in Nashville, Tenn.

Anyways, missed all of the game tonight. Sounds like a good thing. I really hope things start turning around quickly. Hopefully Greinke can right the ship tomorrow.

something says that if he doesn’t bunt with runners on first and second and no outs, he doesn’t get hit in the face by the pitch.

Maybe not a fair conclusion to Trey.

So, will Zack hit someone tomorrow?

There have been many times this year where I’ve been critical of Hillman for making a boneheaded move. I’m sure more than that, he’s made the exact right move, but obviously, you tend to forget about those. The disturbing thing is that it seems like he is star-crossed – any time he has a decision that could go either way such as last night, his decision turns out to be disaster in hindsight. I mean he COULD have left Gil in, but obviously, it wasn’t a horrible move to bring in Ram Ram, he has been nails all year…it just didn’t work out last night. Who knows what would have happened if Gil was left in for the 8th and Joakim came in to begin the bottom of the 9th – the role he is more accustomed to. I guess it was bound to happen at some point…just another game, right?

To get to softball – WTF happened? Seems like Trey had a quick hook. I thought Gil could have started the 8th the way he was cruising. Also seems like Trey had a quick hook on RamRam – did he get hurt? I mean, I like that he is willing to stretch Soria out, it just didn’t work and that will happen. I’m not blaming the loss on Trey – he made reasonable moves, I’m just wondering.
