If he gets drunk enough, he can forget the last week.

Hamilton is going through the same thing Pujols went through last year, it's mental.  Playing against his former team so quickly has made it worse.  Hopefully he comes out of it during the first homestand.  I doubt his slump will last as long as Pujols' because Hamilton doesn't have the pressure of having to carry the team on his shoulders, especially with Albert getting off to a good start this year and not to mention Trout being an established star.

This joke's premise is the ridiculousness of listing a ray killing Steve Irwin right next to the Rays' goal to the the World Series.  That's why I laughed, it's so over the top and unexpected.

Scioscia's managing did not frustrate me during today's game.

Dino Ebel doesn't make that much.

If Chuck had said agree to disagree in the chat or something along those lines about Blanton, I would have stopped.

"Sometimes things go your way, sometimes they don't.  That's baseball.  I've never seen this Joey Bozo guy before, so why not pitch to him?  I had full confidence in Downsy.  Howie made a great effort there, showed a lot of grit got himself dirty.  CJ had good stuff tonight too, the ball was jumping out of his hand.  He kept the ball out of the strike zone quite a bit, which kept the hitters guessing a lot, they had no clue when a strike was coming.  He's head and shoulders above the rest of the lefties in the league.  We've just got to turn the page and tip our caps collectively to Dusty Baker, we beat his club not too long ago in the World Series and we'll get em again tomorrow."

"The ball was EXPLODING out of Downsy's hand."

I laughed and fist pumped simultaneously when he gave up that hit.

Great let's show up and cheer loud as shit.

Scioscia on split-squad games on first day of Cactus League schedule: "Absurd. It makes no sense."
 
Kind of like your managing Fat Man.

Keep it all on here that board wasn't active enough.
