Re: Jay Bruce called up!!!!!

If it wasn't for gas prices and me only being 17 on a school night before exams...I would definitely be there.

School exams come and go, there is only one Jay Bruce.

Re: Jay Bruce called up!!!!!

I am thrilled he is finally getting the call, but expectations need to be reasonable. He is just 21.

Patterson needs to go to the bench. Bruce for Patterson alone makes this a much better offensive team.

My expectations are reasonable. I remember that when Bruce was 19 he hit a ball so hard that it went through the first baseman's glove and the only person able to catch it was Jim Coombs who had to leap over the wall and do a triple lutz.
