First of all...Saturday's was a beautiful game. Dempster was back to his 2008 form, timely hitting and a 7 - 0 pasting of Dodger Blew. Bradley even had three hits (none of good swings, but hey, sometimes it takes a few like that to get things going.) Reed Johnson was clutch and even Mike Fontenot had a couple of nice extra base hits -- off a lefty; even though I don't understand why he starts against lefties and he proved why he shouldn't on Sunday night.
Then Sunday it all blows up, and it's 5 - 0 before I really get comfortable on the couch. Did Piniella really tell Marshall BEFORE the start that he was going back to the bullpen after this? What a moron. I think Lou's days of good judgment are over.
More good at bats from Reed Johnson...and no one else could figure out Eric Milton. Umm, everyone? He throws a 74 mph hanging curve -- first pitch -- to everybody. Guys? It's okay to talk amongst yourselves. Even if Gerald Perry never says anything to anyone.
Soto looks just awful at the plate. Either he's injured or last year was a monstrous fluke.
Lee has hit his way back into the .240's and Soriano has missed his way down into the .240's.
I like this Blanco's glove -- he should play 2b everyday until he proves he can't hit. Great range and slick fielder and can spell Theriot at short every now and again, too. We're carrying three first basemen --which is retarded. Time to trade one of them (it won't be Lee) and get something we need in return. Fox and Hoffpauir need to play in the AL, anyway. The problem is that Hendry doesn't appear to have any clue what we need.
A split with the Dodgers? It's okay. Not great, but could have been worse.
I gotta go...more later. Or not.

if Hendry can't see what we need, he is clearly blind.
I heard the Marshall thing, too. No wonder he shit the bed.
Sometimes junkballers can get through mid season games as easy as Milton...its a timing thing. Staying back and hitting the ball the other way is the answer, but Perry doesn't know the question.
Won some money in Vegas this weekend, flew in Sunday morning, got off the plane, went to my game and went 3-4 with 4 RBI. If I can do it, some of these friggin' million dollar assholes should have no excuse. Of course, I have a couple days to rest at work, now...then the family onslaught for the worlds biggest (and in many ways saddest) first birthday party...
I thought Marshall was doing well as a starter but I guess they do need a lefty in the bullpen. Wells has been impressive, maybe we can score more than .7 runs for him in a game.
Did I miss some news or did they shake the coaching staff up. I see sinatro in the bullpen, strode nowhere to be found, the bench coach at first. What gives
Sinatro has carpel tunnel and can't work the stop watch, Ivan Dejesus is regarded as one of the bestest stop watch man in the biz.
Dejesus stop watch accuracy rating = base runner chances X lefty vs righty + caught stealing / stealing attempts is 1.54 and Sinatro's is 1.5333389
An obvious call to have Dejesus as 1b coach for any knowledgable baseball fan.
I would love to cut off Greggs head and shit down his neck. Jettison his sorry ass.
