Paulie vs. Changes/splits is not a good thing for us

where do you find such things? I've got to be on the way

I've only been getting at it for a year and a half or so though

click on your name

and then look at your blogs at the bottom of the page. it lists the number of posts.

Now I've got something to shoot for

Yeah, Colin,

but there was a slow game last year when you had 123 post in a row without anyone else interrupting. Now that's a record!

; )

Having Carlos in the six spot makes our lineup feel so much better in my mind

just got back from the brewer game

I was listening to the Score on the way home Stone and Farmer are a real treat to listen to. I'm glad to see that the game is on Fox right now.

I like Quentin a lot.

Agreed on the radio call

I'm listening to it (game's blacked out here until I get MLB.tv's feed later), and I can actually do other stuff while listening. Last year, I had to pay so much attention to Singleton's halting delivery that it pretty much kept me in the chair.

It really wasn't that shocking guys

the guys in the booth were baffled by the

Linebrink trade last year

dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.

by colintj on Apr 5, 2008 5:16 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I wasn't.

Will Inman by himself was a pretty good return for a half-season of Linebrink.

by The Jerry Royster Experience on Apr 5, 2008 5:18 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

exactly. made sense for all involved.

The Linebrink trade sure was weird...

Kenny never would have done it, but it worked out for the Padres.

Linebrink getting groundballs

you are not kidding

I don't care how bad he's looked, the man is terrifying

A Ringer for Jose

Is it me, or could Carlos Q play a young Jose Canseco when they make a film version of Juiced?

it's hard to sound that desperate for attention and money

Swisher

called him Cansequito when he introduced the lineup on Fox.

by Ryno on Apr 5, 2008 5:20 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

haha. He really does bring the awesome.

That's pretty funny

I missed most of the game and didn't hear that

by stooge9 on Apr 5, 2008 5:23 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I was thinking that earlier today.

I definitely agree.

groundball, groundball, pop up = good times

tentative optimism is seeping in!

I guess that's a legit flyball...but Joe could lead the league in lowest LD% amongst 3B

amongst qualified if he keeps getting ABs

not really showing off my credentials there.

but that pun makes up for it.

If Ozuna needs a defensive reaplacement...

what's the point of keeping him around? His numbers against lefties aren't really that good.

by The Jerry Royster Experience on Apr 5, 2008 5:23 PM CDT   0 recs

he's not any better than The Frenchman

but guess which is making a million guaranteed this season

Whoever the color guy is,

stop reminding us that you're Hispanic. No, seriously, we get it.

Hahaha.

And someone yanked him out of the shot!

Who is the color guy?

I like him a lot more than whoever they usually get

Okay Ozzie...

Dye to the bench, Quentin to RF, Swisher to LF, and Anderson to CF.

Hall is awful.

by SSH2005 on Apr 5, 2008 5:26 PM CDT   0 recs

AJ should come in too

playing right, let's just give it to him

Is that a slider?!?

by colintj on Apr 5, 2008 5:31 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

And there's Quentin with another nice break

whoever was worried about him coming in.

by onthemark12 on Apr 5, 2008 5:31 PM CDT   0 recs

There you go

when swisher starts making plays like that...

Good jump on a ball ahead of him..Swish had a great game in the field today

He looked a little shaky yesterday

But so far, so good. He had a real good game in Cleveland as well.

Stone talking alot about poor visibility.

Last year it might not have been mentioned.

It's a joy to listen to this guy.

I think he's much better on radio than TV. Get's to talk more, "paint the pictures."

Stoney

loves to talk about visibility. my friends and i used to joke that lenscrafters should sponsor a visibility check back when he was announcing with the cubs.

Holy shit it's Maverick and Goose
