Night Shorty. I like it. Cuz if I was the manager I would want to be far away from Mr T.

Shit. Wasn't a terrible pitch. It was moving away. He got his bat on it nicely.

Fuckin Gardner. Booooo Byrd.

Now I hope they afford him a few more steps before giving up. He'll find the groove. And that short porch in Skanktown is mighty inviting.

We need JCL to predict this is the inning we get to Krudoa.

Gimme more PJ!

Harvey in a pickle. 2 on, 2 out. Cano.

Who'da thought after all he's been through (put himself through) that Dwight Gooden would be this sharp? He's welcome to sit in the booth on Ronnie's days off anytime, from my perspective. (Caveat: Anytime... he's not high.) TransMonk wrote: The Ike at-bats are getting downright painful to watch. Yuck. I wash my hands.

lol. Doc doesn't hesitate. 1-2 count. Up and in.

I dunno. But I hear tings. 9PM?

I have some free time. Okay, here's how I would fix Ike. 1) Stand up again like you used to. If only because it is easier to sustain over the course of a career (if you want one). You're a big guy. Not a slap hitter. You can hit without the crouch. You have done it before. Drop the crouch. Stand up. Trust your stride. Use your stride. 2) Start going out late and stayin up watching movies or whatever it is you did before the media ratted you out in regards to your personal schedule. Only you know what kind of rest cycle you need. 3) Swing a bat in front of a full length mirror for, meh, 10 to 15 minutes a day. Do it in slow motion. From both front view and side view make sure your hips lead and your arms become a controlled whip as a result. You know you can do it, so just trust your hands to the ball. The stride step and hips can move in sync, but if your hips and hands are coming through in sync, you've been fooled by the pitch. Ideally: Step/turn hips-swing. Just visualize this, continuously and seriously. Do this in private somewhere in the clubhouse. There. I did my best. I wash my hands of the situation. If he don't listen, what can I do? This is a semi-serious post.

Damn.
