Bonds vs. Cordero might be fun to watch.

I'm feeling the peace tonight. Just assume they're going to lose and enjoy the game for what it is.

Seriously, if anyone can think of a good reason NOT to walk him in this situation, I'm all ears.

Senators2005 · « **Reply #64:** September 09, 2005, 07:55:09 PM »

well that worked out ok this time...but you are playing with fire with Andruw behind the plate...more often than not: you get burned.

That is almost exactly word-for-word what I was about to post

Alright, Esteban's coming up to bat. I see a rally-sparking hit here.

I view pitching to Andruw Jones like cheating on HOV. You get away with it sometimes..but when you get caught - you're screwed.

Hey Hey! Two on...how bout that rally esoteric spoke of!

luckyexposfan · « **Reply #69:** September 09, 2005, 08:01:50 PM »

Come on Jose we need a big play here, PLEASE!!!

*sigh* :oops:

carlfish · « **Reply #70:** September 09, 2005, 08:02:56 PM »

could this be ....... our inning?

Senators2005 · « **Reply #71:** September 09, 2005, 08:04:06 PM »

DAMNIT...Jose keeps missing those homers by about 20 feet.

Senators2005 · « **Reply #72:** September 09, 2005, 08:06:11 PM »

Preston flies out...everybody wants to be a damn hero. Can we just get some RBI hits guys?

luckyexposfan · « **Reply #73:** September 09, 2005, 08:08:12 PM »

Another day, another blown rally. Have any of our mid-season pickups been worth the plane tickets they flew in on?

If we only had a "singles and doubles" hitter on the roster! Oh wait, we do. His name is Rick Short.

God, if this team had players who just "settled" for singles with RISP, we'd be in first place.
