3 hits including a 2b for AJ.

Lillibridge covering some great ground to make a putout in RF.

I was excited when we got him. I thought he'd be the man. None of the above. I think he got completely out of rhythim by having the appendectomy right after the end of ST. Then, he came back too early and pretty much lost everything he built up in spring training. I think he's basically spent the month of May as if he'd been in spring training again.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 21, 2011 -> 03:41 PM) Why does everybody act like the NL is such a dogs*** league. They go 9-5 again against AL last night. People act like the league sucks. Your entire evaluation is based on 1 night?

Keep fishin'.

It's time I had some time alone.

There is no way to get Paul Konerko out.

Garland getting blooped to death.

Hustle bloop double for Omar. Hawk's right. Garland needs forever to throw a pitch now.

Alexis!

The gift wrapped run Ozzie gave LA today didn't raise my opinion of him.

Every pitch to Konerko looks like a beachball.

Another GIDP for Alexei. Kinda remarkable.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 21, 2011 -> 02:55 PM) Why the hell would you ever bunt with a guy who was just on a 30 something game hitting streak? That inning was mind blowingly bad strategy. It's like they wanted to outdo each other with stupidity. I don't know how else to process it. Remember in 2006 there was a time where Ozzie got Podsednik on 1b, bunted him over to 2b with Iguchi, immediately walked Thome, and let Konerko GIDP? I think that was against Gardenhire.

Grow things there.

Had we walked Kemp, that identical ground ball could have been a get out of the inning DP. Instead, it's an RBI groundout and a free run. Did Mattingly and Ozzie agree to give each other a gift run before the game or something like that? That was incredibly dumb.

Even if Kemp makes an out this is crazy.

DOES NO ONE HERE KNOW HOW THE GAME OF BASEBALL WORKS?

AND OZZIE IS GOING TO PITCH TO KEMP?????????

Ethier bunts and takes the bat out of Kemps hands? Is Mattingly insane?

And a defensive brain freeze.

Christ, another line into a DP.

The stealth elf strikes again.

An alternate way of looking at that chart...in terms of accumulated debt.
