Sometimes? With Cueto, Volquez, and Bailey I wish I had a time machine.

A Bronson Bunt? Missed sign? Loss of concentration? What is going on?

Paul Bako is the greatest baseball player ever.

Re: Phils at Reds 4/7/08 Hello Castro!

Why in the world in Bronson swinging on the first pitch? So much for working the count. Hamels at 57 pitches through 4. He can probably go 7 or 8 innings now thanks to recent hacking.

I deeply dislike how teams seem like they collude in these afternoon games to coast through it.

It gives the game an NBA atmosphere.

He swung and made enough contact for the ball to go just in front of the plate.

He is handling Howard now, maybe he needs to put one in Burrell's earhole to start this at-bat...

Bronson listens to complete corporate cheese rock also. It's sad how out of touch jocks are with the real world. I bet Bronson can't wait for the Creed reunion.
