Yes. And we even forgive you.

His change of speeds and arm angles are nasty. Espesially the first times a hitter sees him, it will be a huge advantage to Shingo. I want to see him more, but I think that NY preformance was mostly nerves.

You guys are missing the forest for the trees here. Corseball was a mentality. You are always going to have mistakes. Even the best managed teams have them. This team is giving heart and effort. That is the point. You can nitpick all you want, but then this team will probably take an extra base while you are doing it.

Heck at this point the only "negative" I have seen in the pen is Koch. Takatsu looked light years better in his last outing. No one else really worries me at all.

Depends on whether you have a connection to God. There are a lot of "Chiristians" who aren't going to heaven.

I think they are all night games.

And Neal has looked much, much better this year already. His confidence has been great so far. I only hope they keep him stretched out enough to make him a starter.

IMO you need that cerebral, deep thinking, level headed personality as a benchcoach. For whatever reason, JM had no people management skills what so ever. But as a benchcoach you only need to be able to be thinking something that the manager isn't, and be able to inform him.

KW was trying to trade him already. If he isn't dealt now, he is definately gone by the trading deadline.

I'm not worried about Maggs. He will be fine. Plus the sooner his deal gets done, the better.

I absolutely believe that Baines was not a good choice as bench coach. He was one of my favorite players growing up, but that is a position that you need a ton of experience in. Actually the perfect guy for the job (and I am preparing for the assault) would have been Jerry Manuel.

CW is right. Biblically there is zero gray area on this one. Can't say that it is easy or that I am able to do it, but IIRC there is a bible verse that saids something to the affect of Don't let the sun set while still angry with someone.

The choice is pretty clear. Forgive and forget or go to hell.

How stupid can you be???

No interest, what so ever.

And start a melee with the Dodger bullpen...

Harry is one of their heros... no wonder they can't pronounce anything right. Too bad we can't hear him butcher Shingo Takatsu or Esteban Loiaza...

I didn't realize that Wunsch had started his rehab already. I wonder who gets sent out when he is ready?

ARod and Delgado are both notorious slow starters. I am glad we are seeing Alex now, and not in July. Greg Maddux is done.

I prefer the Hoosier chapter of PETA. People Eating Tasty Animals.

It is dead. Ozzie will not let the carelessness of the previous regime go on for any length of time. This team hustles and makes it own luck. They bunt, they hit the ball the otherway to move over runners etc. They pressure the defense, and make the OFers make throws and plays.The old group waited for the 3 run homer, and that was it. Yeah it looked great on somedays. But it was horrible on just as many others The station to station days of Corpseball are gone. RIP

Just give him the two weeks off right now. No sense having this be something that will bother him all year long. It is early, and he wasn't hitting well anyway, so now would be as good of a time to miss him.

ELo was just about perfect today. You couldn't ask for anything more from the guy. Plus the pen gets two days off now, on a minimal amount of pitches.

It was nothing more than a bounding ball past the 2nd baseman, into the hole between 2nd and 1st. The RF was slow getting on it, and Willie busted ass into second. Great, great, hustle. Let me be the first to say Corpseball is D-E-A-D.
