There are no requirements for membership in the GDT club  .....        GDTs are like grenades.    Ya pull the pin and get away from it by any means available.

IIRC, I took the first Turner start.

Me, you and bluestreak must love some misery.

Will probably be a high-scoring affair.  Asher vs Ross.

Rusty happy to let Bodymore pour the gasoline over Ross with that lineup. Wonder if they've got a match too.

[mmzznnxx]

This lineup is the equivalent of taking a poison pill before the enemy tortures you.

[DPMOmaha]

Fairly predictable lineup.

[imref]

No Machado tonight.

Is Dusty just going to concede all of Ross's starts?

Nah, just trying to balance out those run support numbers.

We get no respect.

Ross exceeded my expectations for the first inning, coming in under 3 runs.

Honest question. Does Ross only have 1 pitch (fastball) to lefties?
