Possible good news with Josh Hamilton headed to the DL

Beat you to the post by like 45 minutes I think.

BTW...you do realize we're going to see Lillibridge face Felix Hernandez tonight? Mercy

The Corkaroo magic is already gone.

 

Lillibridge really needs to go down to Charlotte and play everyday and work on bunting and hitting the ball on the ground and simply making better contact. He's like Curtis Granderson up there, with the only plus being his speed/defense, which don't help much if you're not on base.

 

They can mix in Nix and the only downside is they have to keep Owens around as the back-up outfielder.

 

This game is being played at the pace of the final game of a minor league season when everyone has a ticket to get out of town that night.

Were you the one who posted the Vasgersian thing? Mitch Williams was great in that clip.

He made that 90 mph fastball look like Zumaya threw it.

 

The sad thing is, he is very very fast. Not Owens fake fast. Really fast. So all he has to do, is make contact and run like hell. Yet for some reason his swing is long. One of the comments that Farmer made earlier in the year was that he thinks he is a bigger player than he really is and thinks he has power. Once they can convince him to slap and run he might actually do something.

I think Corky can be decent against LHP.

I'd just start Getz, since you know, he's going to play tomorrow anyway but Ozzie has his rules.

He would have been a decent player if he played 5 years ago during the steroid era (similar to Ryan Sweeney).

Wow...fluky bunt hit there. Don't let Griffey homer here.

That's a rule I happen to agree with.

His peripherals are those of a power hitter. Farmer is right on.

No, can't take credit for that one.

But why not play Getz tonight, and then Lillibridge vs LHP tomorrow? You'd give Getz 2 days to recover from his first game.

"Every time I see you hit one in the air you owe me twenty pushups"

I've always been confused at how people thought Griffey Jr. was going to be a clubhouse cancer with the Sox? It's like people are surprised he was a good clubhouse guy. When he was in Cincinnati, every one of their young outfielders said how amazing Griffey Jr. was with them.

People actually said that?

 

I was worried he'd be terrible in CF.

You will never see my type this again in my life, but I predict a leadoff extra base hit for Jerry here.

How does a guy who looks like a 12 year old, go up to the plate and think. f*** it, I am going to jack it. He is what, 150 pounds soaking wet.

 

 

I think the cold weather has something to do with Getz not playing, although it might be so cold he won't be able to feel any of his fingers.

 

 

Owens 1/11, Lillibridge 5/33 now. 6/44, not so good. .136 and falling off a cliff.

 

Fields looks like crap. Please try Betemit or even Viciedo.

People actually thought he'd be a cancer? Griffey is considered to be one of the best clubhouse guys in the game. Who doesn't love the kid?

Well it went past a bag. Does that count.

Damn, I tried. That was the worst swing in the history of sports.

This might shock you, but Griffey eats babies. It was a big concern for the team what with Buehrle having a kid about every two years now. Kids on the Reds were just too young to care.

Sweet, that was like a 7 pitch inning.
