Hahah...while that may be funny...and a little P.I...it's actually not because of their accent that "Godzilla" sounds funny coming from a Japanese person. In Japan they don't call him Godzilla...it's Gojira...which people just interpret as them saying Godzilla funny. OK enough rambling out of me today...

Except for that Jamie Burke is none of the above...

I played against him in HS...took the Golden Sombrero...0-3 with 3 K's. Not one of my finer days. He was tough...trust me.

Jamie Burke should be embarassed to look at himself in the mirror the way he plays...I'd give Davis a shot.

I have seen enough of Jamie Burke for good. I'm all for giving Ben Davis a legit shot at the 2nd catcher spot...I don't really see Ozzie's facination with three catchers.

Whoa a voice of reason!!! I agree with Baggs...nothing you can do about it now...just got to get 'em tomorrow.

Yeah I didn't see that...and somehow my post got there twice...mods can just delete both of them if they so wish.

Brenly Among possible replacements mentioned...the Wally Backman. ESPNews mentioned Backman, D-Backs bench coach Robin Yount, and whoever their current 3rd base coach is as possible succesors to Brenly.

Gload is the new version of Tony Graffanino...he's great as a reserve fill-in type, but if he would play everyday you would realize he's not a starter.

I'm actually not using the $3 tickets in the outfield...I hate sitting out there...I've got tickets right down the 3rd base line about 20 rows up. I'll keep an eye out for your sign though :fthecubs and Twins

I'll be at the HHH Dome tonight...$3 student admission and dollar dog night ------------> More money for beer

Actually Aboz...last year's GG was his 6th in a row...but you know he probably is in decline and was all hype anyway.

Again...care to elaborate on that fact?

Care to elaborate??? 2000: Jones .303 AVG - 36 HR - 104 RBI 2001: Jones .251 AVG - 34 HR - 104 RBI 2002: Jones .264 AVG - 35 HR - 94 RBI 2003: Jones .277 AVG - 36 HR - 116 RBI Perhaps you are using an alternative definition of "sharp decline."

I'd love to get any of the Big 3...if I could have my choice they would go in this order: 1. Mark Mulder 2. Tim Hudson 3. Barry Zito

I was pissed...the only game I could make it to was Saturday's 9-1 loss. I was pretty much depressed and wanted to get out of that damn dome as fast as I could after the 9th. It really was a pretty good time though minus the baseball factor. The dome still sucks but it is a lot better with the new FieldTurf.

I will be there as well.

He used to come out to Hells Bells...and it was insane. I have only been out to Anaheim for one game but right before the 9th, in between innings right before he came out that first bell rang super loud. The entire stadium just went silent. It played the next few bells and the music started with everyone just staring out at the bullpen door. All of a sudden the door flew open and Percival came sprinting out. It was surreal...like nothing I have ever seen before. It was awesome.

Much better inning by Diaz...he at least had some bite to his curve a couple of times. Let's hope he can salvage a few more inning out of this before we go to the pen.

Thank you...your's is good too...and particularly true. :fthecubs

Ah...then yes I agree.

1 IP 5 hits 3 runs...faced 8 batters.

How about Jon Rauch...I would have preferred to see him before Diaz in the first place.

This is going to get ugly real fast if Diaz doesn't find something soon. His pitches are doing nothing. Absolutely NO break on his offspead stuff and just laying fastballs in there.

What happened to this great "stuff" Diaz supposedly has? This is the first time I've seen him but so far...
