Un-grumble!

Cabrera says: "Why are you even looking at adding another shortstop!"

[Lefty Specialist]

Hey, maybe Cabrera's feeling the heat. Whatever works.

Neil Walker is Comcastic....

Poor service and overly expensive?

I was just thinking that they both suck. But your description is more erudite.

Reynolds says, "Check this out, Faffy!"

[Centerfield]

We don't need no stinkin' Reyes.

He apparently hurt himself on a swing, but he was smiling as he walked to the Clubhouse. We're awaiting a medical report on him.

OE - He left the game with "left wrist discomfort."

[Frayed Knot]

Of all the things to complain about this season, Neil Walker is WAY down the list.
And not exactly "Comtastic" on that play to throw out Dyson (who actually suxx)


Meanwhile, if this game goes into extras (or even if it doesn't) we could be in trouble. Not only is the pen over-worked from yesterday but we're already down to just d'Arnaud on the bench.
De Aza already in for Cespedes, Conforto for Reynolds, and Kelly farmed out for Verrett

[Edgy MD]

All that talk about cruel scheduling is fine, Keith and Gary, but you're neglecting to mention that the double header has been all but eliminated over the last decades, when it was more or less the Sunday standard at the start of Keith's career.

Boy, there's a joke in there somewhere.

[Lefty Specialist]

How much money do they have to eat to rid themselves of De Aza?

[Edgy MD]

All of it, I guess.

But Cabrera.

Can't get rid of him right now otherwise d'Arnaud would need to play CF.

[Guest cooby]

wait, this is a day game?

[soupcan]

C'mon Cooby keep up. I figured that out all the way back when they were in the 5th.

[Guest cooby]

Glad I'm not the only one/

I wondered why this thread kept getting posts, so I looked at it.

[Ceetar]

Solid win there. Now 4 wins out of the last 9 games against the Royals.

[Guest themetfairy]

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Books!

I confess I was worried about this one!

[Guest cooby]

yay!

[soupcan]

Gotta say - Familia is no Benitez.

[Edgy MD]

Cool to see Cabrera make the last two plays. He's playing with a lot of cahnfidence.

[Zvon]

Great game.
With the Fishy RBI single off the bag, I thought we were done for. Reynolds 1st MLB kaBOOM? Niiiiice. I haven't seen it yet but I heard he also threw a nice peg to 2nd as well, but didn't get the guy. Again a very sound bullpen, and again happy I didn't have to see Bubblebutt.

Cabrera has been amazin'. That's soooo crucial.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

[Guest themetfairy]

I love that beautiful old man!
