The thing I hate about message boards are when a guy is deemed pathetic like Pierre, he can have a good game and people still bag on him.

I hate that so much.

 

The thing I hate about message boards are when posters use one good game as a reason why someone should keep a job or not be in the doghouse of the fan base.

Someone told me it's hailing in Chicago. I'd like to see that on tv during a game.

Nicely done Chris. Nicely done.

OT but relavent. Viciedo is really rakin, 2 more HR today. Dunno what else he can to deserve a call up.

It's a smart to have a multimillion dollar player rotting away in the minors when we could use his bat.

That happened a few weeks ago at Target Field.

At least IMO, he's not "Rotting away" as long as he's getting AB's and work.

 

"Rotting away" is what Brent Morel is doing on the bench now.

Good, I hope the hail was large.

An entire season's worth of godawful play is suddenly forgotten because of one game? Unreal.

IMO he is rotting away. What are we saving him for? The AAA championships? We need him slugging those HRs with the ball club that matters. There's a reason why we threw a ton of money at him and it's not to hang out in Charlotte.

2012.

 

Hell, if we wait a couple weeks we can probably buy another pre-arbitration year.

 

It's not the right move for winning this year, but you've got to see what I mean here. He's getting at bats, and he's getting better, especially on the patience part.

 

Beckham nearly flew out of his shoes on that last swing.

Rain rain please come. I'd rather not have to worry about the bullpen somehow blowing this lead.

3 walks for Dunn. I guess that's something.

No way do they call the game immediately though.

Yep. His walks are better than his K's, that's for sure. I wish he'd start hitting but we'll settle for walks.

I did snicker a bit at Hawk suggesting that Dunn needs to cut down his swing.

Mow 'em down, Chris! Let's throw strikes!!

Sale's slider just seems way too hittable to righties these days. This 5 run lead seems small for some reason.

Isn't that the truth. C'mon bullpen!!

Wow, Sale needs to be sent to the minors and find some command of his fastball. Should be Crain time.

Uh-oh.

Great start Jesse.

Huge K, Crain. I like this stat Merk just tweeted: Crain's inherited runners for 2011: 15. Inherited runners scored: 4.

Now for the DP.

Nice job by Alexei of getting one out. No fastballs to Kemp please! Walk him if you have to.
