Jon Garland on the mound today trying to work the kinks out of his shoulder. Game starts in a few minutes.

 

Erstad, CF; Iguchi, 2B; Thome, DH; PK, 1B; Crede, 3B; AJ, C; Cintron, SS; Mackowiak, LF; Terrero, RF. Garland pitching.

And my man-crush personal favorite grinder in CF for the DBacks!

Unfortunately, when you have 30/30 potential you're no longer considered a grinder.

 

We had no use for that.

Wrong grinder.

Wrong grinder.

How about, when you have the potential to become a natural 30/30 player you're no longer considered a grinder.

Garland gives up 3 straight hits to start the game, and 1 run in the first...

 

and his ERA actually goes down.

Just got home, how did we score the run? Who homered for us?

LOL. Somebody flip the "Ozzieball" switch!

Back to back bunts, one bad but got on, one good to move the runner. I've said this before and Luis T. is ALOT faster then I thought he would be.

Time to update the ol' sig Flash....

 

Yeah, they got the Rangers on here.. BMac got rocked

Erstad doubles in Rob, 2 - 1 Sox. Ozzie just wet his pants with that double.

 

Iguchi flys out to right, Erstad moves to 3rd. Thome trickles a single out of the infield... 3 - 1.

I don't believe it... et tu, smallball? Where ya been for a year?

 

BTW classic Hawk wisdom: "Ozzie knows better than anyone if we don't beat ourselves, we have a good chance at another ring."

 

Pfft. Isn't it time for your bathroom break about now?

Konerko gets. a bloop hit, Second base and Right Fielder get in eachother's way. Thome on 3rd.

 

Garland getting hit around, 3 - 3.

Garland is apparently doing his 2006 Javy Vasquez impersonation.

4 - 3. Runners on 2nd and 1st. Inning over.

 

6th inning, Garland gives up a hit and walk to start off...

Crap. Bases loaded, 2 outs, 5 straight balls from Sisco.

 

...but he gets out of the jam. Inning over.

Any reason for Terrero to be playing again over Anderson again.

Cause he's in RF?? Erstad homers, 4 - 4.

Darin grinds one out to tie the game at 4

Erstad is going to be awesome signing if he can stay healthy. I'm excited.

Mack can play RF, Erstad in LF, and Andeson in CF.

 

And when the season starts, Erstad in LF leading off. Anderson in CF and Dye in RF. Pods on the bench or sent away.

Anderson K's.

There's all Guillen needs to see -- Erstad homers, Anderson strikes out.

Well you know that ain't happen'n. Anderson got his first at bat right now and Erstad was shown leaving the field so Brian should be in Center next inning.

With Terrero getting these starts to me for Ozzie, I bet you they are evaluating Terrero as a 4th OF vs Perez.

 

Anderson should figure out who his roomate will be in AAA.
