Fartinez in CF could be interesting ... and by 'interesting' I mean scary. Actually 'scary' is probably too severe a word, but one of the cautions always thrown around the prospect discussions about him was that he'd need to develop a real good bat because he wasn't looking like a guy who could handle CF, at least not on a long-term basis.
FWIW, Jerry essentially admitted that he was relying on the "proven" guys a bit too much and that he has to back off from that tactic. Now, between the re-shuffling of roles and the re-shuffling of jobs, things may get a bit more spread out. Either that or he'll just start over-relying on different guys and the cycle will repeat itself.
Even though it's closing in on midnight and the game's been over for nearly two hours, Tony LaRussa just changed pitchers again. Stay tuned for further updates.
No thanks. We already have our share of older and more injury-prone/late-career sluggers ... even if this one does have those adorable curls in his hair.
I wonder if she still thinks O.J. didn't do it? It was embarrassing all around because they tried to pretend that a cheesy plug for a FOX news program is somehow more worthy than one of a regular TV show. News programs and the people on them like to think of themselves as being above those on entertainment programs - except when it comes to either acting like it or being paid like it.
Phils get two on in their half of the 9th but can't get one in and the Jays complete the sweep. Would suck if we couldn't take advantage of that tonight.

]Has Beltran gone after the first pitch each time tonight? ]What did Beltran see 4 pitches tonight? The answer to these simultaneous asked questions is ... well, not quite, it merely seemed that way. Carlos swung at the 3rd (FO), 2nd (1B), 2nd(FO), 1st (GO) & 1st (FO) pitches in his 5 ABs
