Interesting in that A. Hernandez gets a spot start at SS -- while they still had designs on him as an everydayer at 2B, Woody woulda gotten that spot.

I think it shows the org sees him today as a reserve and that the starter boat has all but sailed.

Go Johnny Pine Tree State. They laughed at me when I suggested he mighta been the guy they wanted. Laughed!

[stevejrogers]

I like the fact that I didn't go OH F*** S*** when I didn't see Reyes SS in the leadoff spot!

Though I'd appreciate not seeing Wright for a game or two as well

[stevejrogers]

Welcome back Cliff Floyd from the DL!

[Guest SwitchHitter]

Encouraging inning from Hirsh.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

It's great to have Cliff back. Hopefully, he'll be rested and ready for the October.

[Guest KC]

They said Cliff hit two dingers yesterday at St. Lucie ... bang pow!

[Guest SwitchHitter]

He shoulda waited till Monday to be sure.

[Guest SwitchHitter]

I guess Maine doesn't run the bases very often.

[Guest martin]

i dont understand that call, is the claim that maine ran in so the throw to first would hit him? i dont get it.

[Guest SwitchHitter]

Ran out of the basepaths. I dont' think he was trying to be hit. I dunno. I have it on radio.

[Guest SwitchHitter]

Argh......Biggio you bum!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

2-0 Mets going to the home half of the 5th.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Berkman is one strong country boy.

[Guest SwitchHitter]

Berkman cuts the lead in half.

[Guest SwitchHitter]

I know y'all are the best team in the NL.

But do my broadcasters need to keep mentioning it?

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Astros apparently do not like having the fewest errors in the league.

[Guest SwitchHitter]

KC, my broadcasters say that your bar & grill brought a party to the game.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Hirsh is really earning his unearned runs.

[Guest SwitchHitter]

I was at his ML debut. He got out of a bases-loaded jam in the 3rd, only to give up 3 HR in the 4th. He earned that 8+ ERA, too.

[A Boy Named Seo]

I love OO's avatar. Nicely done.

[Guest SwitchHitter]

I'm bailing.....my kids are back from the neighbor's pool and we're going out for dinner.

Someone else will need to post now.

That's me, Caterin' Kev ;-)

[Guest OlerudOwned]

JETER IN THE HOLE, LEAPING THROW ACROSS HIS BODY, HE'S OUT. DEREK JETER IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111

Nice play by Valentin.

[Guest KC]

Vacation State yanked, Feliciano comes in and does what he does. Maine
looked great tonight. 3-2 after 7. Nice quick game so far, now whatch the
ending take two hours.

[Guest KC]

Captainintangibleesque!!

[Guest KC]

Aaron 1, 2, 3's the eighth.

[Guest KC]

Cliff with a half a bang pow scores Wright for some insurance in the top of
the ninth.

[dinosaur jesus]

It's easy to mention this now, but Qualls is actually a better pitcher against lefties than Miller is. I love it when the kneejerk move is the wrong one.

[Guest KC]

Bidge doubles, Lane walks ... I'm dying over here.
