You know,
if the Dodgers are also trying a catcher out at third base . . .

Ummm hmmm
I just noticed that… interesting.
Gadzooks, that is an ugly lineup for the home team.

Todd batting cleanup
Interesting move – I thought he may move back down to the third spot but not cleanup. Let’s hope it works out well.

I will have MLB.TV tonight
A friend loaned me a subscription. I wonder if this will hurt more.

I'll give it a try for the first two innings
If it’s making me more homicidal than usual, it goes off.

I've timed it ocasionally
and it’s about 20-30 seconds behind.

Coors looks pretty empty
Surprising for a Friday night even if it is cold and windy.

Good first for Francis
Two flyouts and a strikeout – let’s score early and often against our nemesis, Brad Penny.

you know I was looking at the standings today
We have played the fewest home games in the majors – 10 – by far. I think the lowest I could find for any other team was 14. The Cardinals have played 18 home games. I really think Coors is going to help the team.

Penny
Jeff has mentioned a couple times that he’s the only guy not wearing long sleeves. Maybe he should have rethought that?
by holly96 on May 2, 2008 7:40 PM MDT 0 recs
It'll be a reverse of Game 1 of the NLDS
when it was incredibly hot in Philly and Hamels was the only one wearing them, leading him to trouble.

He stopped the fastball in the dirt from becoming a wild pitch. Except he was over by third base and the fastball was from a hitter, not a pitcher.
