So much for EE not batting 8th this year.

[Strikes Out Looking]

Why is Larue sitting? With Ramirez in the rotation, shouldn't he be catching Uncle Milty? And doesn't Jerry Narron have any concern for my fantasy team? (Larue is my catcher and I didn't bench him because I thought he'd catch tonight).

[TheBigLebowski]

I have this strange feeling we're gonna rake Webb around the yard tonight.

LaRue 0 for 5 4Ks vs. Webb
Valentin 2 for 9 3 BB vs. Webb

That's why. Narron always checks the matchups.

I wish there was a place to play Ryan Freel more often....

All those stolen bases....

You can't steal 1st.

He hasn't been playing well since April, and to top it off he has made countless stupid baserunning decisions.

Strike out, Wild pitch/Passed ball

Since he gets into maybe one or two games a week, I don't expect him to play like he did at the beginning of the season..


How would Griffey, Phillips, or anyone else play if they saw action as sporatic as Freel does?

[dsmith421]

Realistically, given the pitching matchup, what are our chances out of the gate today--40%? 35%?

Phillips busted into the lineup doing what Freel is currently during.

Riding the pine......

The steals have been replaced by Phillips and Lopez, plus the defense is better with Phillips.

So far he's not missed.

That screaming you hear is the air-raid sirens going off downtown,in preparation for the shelling Milton is about to take.

[Patrick Bateman]

Webb is death to RH hitters, plus Arizona has no LH pitchers.

Valentin over Larue is a cinch pick.
