Darin ruf's name was likely constructed to save letters when tweeting it.

[DPMOmaha]

He went to Creighton and now he's a Phillie.  Dude's full of wrong life choices.

[OldChelsea]

Eeyore starting + national telly = recipe for disaster.

[seems every time one of the teams I support is on national telly, they lose, for some reason...]

Zuckerman:

Espinosa doesn't know why Davey didn't put him in lineup. "I feel 100 percent. That's his decision. Go ask him. I'd like to know too."

[cmdterps44]

Other players would like to play too, Espinosa.

[sportsfan882]

Zuckerman:

Maybe if he would hit better he'd be in there. Hopefully Lombo takes advantage of the rare start. We need to get something going offensively on a consistent basis. These fluke 10 run games followed by 1-3 run stinkers will not get it done.

[Slateman]

Well .... that happens sometimes

[Slateman]

We're doomed

[welch]

Just win.

[The Chief]

I don't care who's playing, they need to win.

[PC]

Zuckerman:

Davey says Espinosa not starting tonight strictly because thinks he's been pressing at plate. No problem with shoulder.

[monkeyhit]

About time, Davey. He's been a canyon in the lineup/KKKKKKKKKKK

[Lintyfresh85]

Maybe if he would hit better he'd be in there. Hopefully Lombo takes advantage of the rare start. We need to get something going offensively on a consistent basis. These fluke 10 run games followed by 1-3 run stinkers will not get it done.

In eight games since receiving the cortisone shot, he's hitting .348 (8-for-23) with three doubles, four walks and six strikeouts.

So Espinosa has heated up since being cortisoned (which is an anagram of steroid con).   

[OldChelsea]

Joe West doing balls-and-strikes tonight...this match will last 4hr.
