Ernasty not too nasty.

He puts a batter on, he's out of there. Short, short leash.

I understood and applauded the need to go into Afghanistan and wipe out the terror camps. I'm just wondering why we're there ten years later with no real victory in sight, while our troops are being blown up, ambushed, or otherwise killed and injured. I'll overlook the snarkiness of your post.

Wow, interesting stat: In the past five years, the hitter before Hamilton has been walked intentionally only FOUR times.

TXNick is making some big assumptions.

More American troops killed by a Taliban bomber. It never stops. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-22051858

McIlroy continuing where he left off yesterday, -2 through first three holes. Furyk is -2 through two and both are one shot back of Horschel.

He should fool them by standing a few inches closer to the plate. That'll teach 'em!

Troll much?

Well, if that's really the case, he doesn't belong in the cleanup spot.

From Elias: Chris Davis has 16 RBI this season, the highest total through 4 team games since RBI became official in 1920. The previous record was 12 RBI through 4 games, by Dolph Camilli (1935 Phillies), Mark McGwire (1998 Cardinals) and Charles Johnson (2000 Orioles). from ESPN: Chris Davis has hit a home run in each of his first four games this season, and has hit 11 in his past 11 regular season games dating back to last season. Of those 11, seven were off off-speed pitches to the outer half of the plate.

I'm not worried about his swing, but his weight. He looks thin. And on that topic, how many pounds has Trout gained?

It's beginning to look a lot like LAST year April deja vu Take a look at the 3-4-5 whiffing once again with strike outs and ground balls but no base hits It's beginning to look a lot like LAST year Offense nowhere near But the ugliest sight to see is the money that is paid to go 0...for...3.

Sorry, Taylor, I should have double-checked before posting a Craig thread.

Greinke's getting some run support now.

It is a bit early for these threads. Wait until tomorrow at least.

Two games is hardly a "nice lead".

There should be an asterisk next to this effort. Seven of the nine Pirate hitters are batting under .182 on the season so far. Greinke is mowing them down.

Validates the argument that ST numbers don't matter. Morales raked in the spring and hit 7 HR.

One Pittsburgh baserunner through five innings. A harmless single. Dogs lead 1-0. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/boxscore?gid=330405119&page=plays

McIlroy finished with three straight birdies to tie for the best round of the day (-5) and he is three strokes behind leader Billy Horschel. Rory narrowly missed a 24-ft putt for eagle on 18. Horschel has made 21 consecutive cuts, the current best streak on the Tour. First-day leaders Bettencourt and Tomasulo each shot 1-over to go four strokes back of the leader. The winner of this tournament gets the last open spot in the Masters.

According to this, several B-1 strategic long-range bombers are on their way to Guam, as well as at least one E-6 "Doomsday" plane, which provides command and control for U.S. nuclear forces should ground-based control become inoperative. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-04-05/us-secretly-deploys-b-1-strategic-bombers-e-6-doomsday-planes-near-north-korea

That's a winner, AZMike.

Two weeks of "Shock and Awe" and ten years of occupation. Yes, it sounds familiar.

I would keep the same lineup for awhile, but move Trumbo down a spot or two immediately.
