P.S. It looks like there’s a change we might go after the ol’ manatee David Weathers. Here’s the link.

We could use the pen help, but I feel like we need another lefty, since Pinto can’t throw strikes. If we don’t go after one, we can expect to see Tank back with the club soon.

bases loaded against the rookie and we blew it. that hurts.

He’s a beastly man-child from outer space… he makes our silly human baseball game look easy.

Let me put on the ol’ swami hat…. Hammer will homer again.

is warming up in the batting cages to strike out to start the 9th

for FINALLY pulling a pitcher when you need to.

Jacobs… I’m speechless

it’s off with the television. Good night.

one player i don’t think we’ll sign in arbitration this year… definitely trade bait

lowest clutchiness rating of any player on the team.

Helms was suppose to leadoff

New rule:

“Hendrickson somewhat less awful” is now worth 2 points as an AAB.

At least our offense is battling back and showing some signs of resiliency, it just so happens that the pitching is just so terrible sometimes it’s not enough to overcome.

Schmendrake-son just put us in a terrible hole, nevermind the awfulness that is Mike Jacobs in the field.

Remember that Hendo is our #5 starter at this point (Nolasco, Miller, Olsen, Tucker, Caca McGee), so those #5 games are kind of a wash, where you need the offense to pull you through. Just didn’t happen tonight. Bleck.

The attendance for the game was 12,166. The attendance point goes to Bumppo.

Players earning a point: Ramirez, Treanor and Ross.

A point goes to: Brickell, Dgriot, HadMatter and Hurricane.

Recap:

Congratulations to all of tonight’s winners! If I missed anyone or anything, please let me know.
