Storen's going in the top 30 it seems like.

Everything is setting up for Contreras to pitch on Saturday, with Richard going to the pen. Milwaukee crushes LHP.

Herm and CQ look like they're on a date at a movie.

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 01:00 AM) Gordon has to get a hit eventually.. right? No

Already seen something for Beckham to work on. He's a little too far off the plate right now. He has fast enough hands to try and get the pitcher to throw it inside.

4-0 on the Thome bomb. We are hitting Bonderman very, very hard.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 12:54 AM) whatever, if he has somehow found a new approach that can be a permanent adjustment for him that allows him to continue this for more than the rest of this year, I have no problem with it assuming jermaine is gone next year, or at least DH'ing and not playing a corner spot, that would open up a corner spot for pods and cq could stick in a corner spot, it would leave an opening for perhaps danks2 ? or someone not named brian anderson Oh gross...don't even think of extending him now. If he hits .300 the rest of the year, you review it after the season. Don't make any decisions now.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 01:50 AM) Good lord, I must be in Bizarro world, everything is reverse and what I don't want to see... Scott F'n Podsednik is our best hitter... Two of the scariest words imaginable: contract extension

Worse stuff: Colon yesterday or Bonderman tonight?

That a boy Pods!

Ramon Castro showing why he only faces LHP. So far, this game is following the same script as nearly every game from this home stand.

The Anderson special. He's back to that massive hitch and 2 part swing. Can we save taxi money and put him and Wise on the same flight out of here on Wednesday?

Anderson made that catch look pretty easy.

2 for 51 with RISP

Wow, deja vu. Getz with a few awful swings with the bases loaded. Why is one of the weakest hitters in the majors batting 7th?

Can we get a hit with RISP?

Ugh, no hustle almost gets Dye thrown out at second. We're seeing this far too often.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 01:21 AM) Bonderman's fastball is lifeless compared to what it used to be. Yep, keep throwing 89 mph fastballs on the inner half.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 12:17 AM) how does senor splitty look? or is he just throwing heaters? Threw two to Thomas...one good, one bad. His sliders to Cabrera were both 3 feet outside.

Big batter there for Jose to get.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 01:12 AM) Somebody tell Hawk its a 5 game series, the rookie ump was going to be behind the plate 1 game regardless. I was thinking the same thing. It's ridiculous how many 2 strike hits our righties have allowed on inside fastballs to lefties this year.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 01:10 AM) I got the Tigers announcers on Extra Innings...what did he say? Just talking about how poorly they're executing, and that if you can't win those 42 in-between games, then they will finish at the bottom of the standings.

Wow, this coaching staff should be ashamed of themselves. It looks like these guys have never played together.

Haha, Hawk complaining about pitches not even close to the plate.

Hawk with quite the rant during the pregame.
