What do you reckon?
I have drunk a 750ml bottle of Leffe Blonde, it’s 11pm, but there are still 3 nailbiting innings to go. Do I drink more and regret it tomorrow?

This is exactly the kind of thing Hurdle would do.
And when you finally think it makes sense, he won’t do it. Just because that’s who he is.
I like how the managers are still making the chess moves.
It doesn’t really matter what they do.

Amusing
Tulo/CDI groundouts to the exact same spot. OK not amusing, lame.
I'm not sure
Barmes saw any of those pitches. At least, I hope not. He looked like a rookie there.

You have

The Dominican pitcher throws a ball to a Venezuelan hitter
and gets injured. On comes a pitcher from Canada. He throw a ball over his head, and the hitter twists down and pulls a muscle. The pinch-hitter is a LH American batter, so the manager brings in LH Puerto Rican pitcher, who throws a ball. The pitcher passes out from dehydration and is replaced by a LH prospect from Panama who throws ball four.
And then you have an International Walk

It's one of those conversations
where there is no right answer, just a gigantic merry-go-round of opinions where every side has an argument and a legit claim. Those drive me nuts.
I like discussions
that might actually get somewhere. The debates where both sides are so firmly entrenched in their ideas and have become so familiar with opposing arguments are the ones that never seem to go anywhere. I have my own opinions on what I think should be done, but at the end of the day, it won’t really matter that much because the discussion won’t go anywhere.
True.

Yeah
It seems some of the most important arguments are the ones that never go anywhere. It’s why I tend to avoid them completely.
Well then,
I guess I feel that. I try to avoid contentious political argument, myself.

Game 2 should be fun
with a monster pitching duel between Haren and Jimenez.
I can see it being 1-1 in the 7th.
Yeah....
was saying the same thing. With Haren facing Jimenez, I wouldn’t be surprised if tomorrow’s game went something like 1-0.

You don't see
any humor in rejoicing that we’re in first place after 1 game?

Look at it this way
the offense was NAILS despite facing an elite starter. Three hitters we wanted to see perform well to get off to a good start – Iannetta (soph slump), Tulo (traditionally slow starts) and Smith (perilous starting position?) ALL hit huge home runs. And Stewart did fine at 2B
Really the only down side of today was Cook….he was just WAY down.

Disappointing as it is to lose, there were those bright spots. I’m still scratching my head over some of Hurdle’s moves, but that is certainly nothing new. We’ll be fine. As TuloRocks2008 pointed out, Cookie won’t be down like this many times this season. On to Game 2 where we win 2-1!
