[cmdterps44]

Since we had such a great discussion last night, I went and got Chick fil a today.

[CJames0569]

Line-ups? Statistics? Hell, anything besides..

Olsen vs. Niese. Should be exciting.

I read that as A CHICK FLIK TODAY   

[JCA-CrystalCity]

I figured you'd make a trek to Bojangles for take out, and use the bag on a "date" with Debbi Taylor.

First pitch is when?

That would be the primary choice but I have no idea where a Bojangles is.

[CatsEye]

Olsen vs. Niese. Should be exciting.

              And.....................do we have a 9 man team tonight on the field -as in line-up; or a picture of the stadium we are playing in; or maybe photos of the pitchers; or just some type of hint...........or are we doing braille tonight - touch the screen, touch the screen ?  
        
   (yea, this is me being sarcastic, fecitious, and displaying my warp sense of Gonzo-type humor.....no ill-will intented nor maliciousness -Halla)

You're being insulting to the woman that I lust for. Show some respect.

What purpose does Taveras serve on the roster? He is one of the reasons why I can't fully get behind Rizzo. He does nothing that Harris or Bernadina can't do. Free Mike Morse. This is just embarrassing.

[Natskins]

First pitch is when?

I voted for 8:47 pm. I think phone lines are still open if you have a preference.

Agreed, Taveras doesn't deserve to be on the roster. GMUNat don't forget to modify/edit the gameday thread you started to at least include the lineups. If you don't and we lose, it's your fault

[DPMOmaha]

Zuckerman questioned his place on the roster yesterday too...

Riggleman makes the lineup card, and Morse is rehabbing.  No one is being held prisoner.  I will agree that Taveras being in the starting lineup is embarrassing though.

[CatsEye]

Yea, I voted for 8:30 pm.  Phone lines are still open like Natskins said.

I can understand Guzman. Riggleman just misuses him. Put him in a position to succeed and he will. Taveras will never succeed. If I was the manager, this is my lineup:

Guzman RF
Desmond SS
Zim 3B
Dunn 1B
Hammer LF
Pudge C
Gonzalez 2B
Morgan CF
Olsen P

He would never do it because he is in love with stroking everyone's ego.

Former Viking and CBS football analyst Chris Carter called up by Mets.

[Lintyfresh85]

Guzman is a terrible idea in RF though.

[Salamander Man]

I can understand Guzman. Riggleman just misuses him. Put him in a position to succeed and he will. Taveras will never succeed. If I was the manager, this is my lineup:

Guzman RF
Desmond SS
Zim 3B
Dunn 1B
Hammer LF
Pudge C
Gonzalez 2B
Morgan CF
Olsen P

Why would you want Guzzy over Morgan at the top and Gonzalez over Kennedy?

a guy who is incapable of walking batting lead off?

[Evolution33]

Mancrush?

[NatsDad14]

Why would you want Guzzy over Morgan at the top and Gonzalez over Kennedy?

If you look at his OBP the last 3 years vs. LHP: .380, .323, .410 he is fine in that spot. I would pinch hit him the first time a RHP comes up. But, Riggleman would never do that.

Gonzalez vs. LHP is infinitely better than Kennedy

Morgan is a disaster vs. LHP

[hammondsnats]

Few things:

1) Bernadina continues to fail so they have to try someone else out there.  I don't have a lot of faith in Taveras either, but I don't question the switch.  Maybe this is his last chance? 

2) GMU - Kennedy is better than Guzman.

3) We win tonight 4-2.
