Expected Bourjos, but Trumbo is probably still in because of the small ballpark

After watching that interview with Trumbo, I really hope he turns it around and starts dropping Trumbombs again.  Not that I wasn't hoping that before.

I'd rather see PB, actually. Who cares about the size of the bp, Bourjos has more than enough power to hit it out of this small ballpark. All he has to do is hit a dribbler to smack it farther than Trumbo has anyway, and seeing as all infields are the same dimensions it really doesn't matter about the size of the overall ballpark.

What is everyone talking about, Aybar hardly ever attempts a bunt

OT: The Tigers just re-signed Valverde.

I suspect it has more to do with sticking to a plan

man our big 3 suck so far.

[Jim]

OMG, this is going to be a very long/short day for Blanton

[WallyWorld]

it would figure that the pitcher who looked by far the best in spring gives up a homer to his first real batter.

blantana sighting!

Blah-nton.
