T.G.

Even though his average is pretty pathetic, losing that long ball threat in the lineup is big, IMO.  Game changers are hard to come by.

it's for amphetamines... Had an Adderall exemption last year, but not this year.

Who knew Lou was such an agreeable chap?

Chris Davis is being suspended for 25 games for testing positive for amphetamines

The thing that is most shocking to me is the total disappearance of Brandon Moss.... From All-Star to a photo on a milk carton.

It's time to start the discussion...

Mike Scioscia should be the Manager of the Year.

And let's not forget Dallas MacPherson

Todd Greene

Ralston Schmidt.... how soon we forget.

What?

For old times sake...

I am thinking that by bringing in Beckham, it provided Freese with the incentive to hit better. A littlw competition did him some good.

Hamilton took two more cortisone shots today

Dante Bichette is still one of the best baseball names of all time...

Angelsjunky - all valid and logical points.  Maybe it's a reach - but I think his performance is explainable.  I am willing to believe that his drastic weight loss last year had an impact and that his thumb injury this year has also had an impact.  I believe or at least "want" to believe that the glimpses we saw prior to his DL stint is what we could still expect in the future.

You know his OPS on the road is pretty good....

Maybe I'm in denial.  Maybe we all see what we want to see.  Time will tell.

Kevin Appier had a better year than Sele in 2002.

If we all police ourselves, Lou will be out of a job.
