Went to get a beer and missed EA's error, what did he do?

It was a ball hit pretty deep in the hole and when Andrus planted to make a long and strong throw, he stepped on the edge of the dirt and grass causing him to airmail it, not an excuse at all, but that looks like what happened there

High ankle sprain is terrible news on Choo

When it rains it pours.... At least we get Beltre back soon. Hopefully 15 day DL is worst case scenario. I don't know much about sprains tho.

Problem is, we need a lead off hitter.

If Choo misses extended time I may prefer Rios to lead off to get him out of the 3 hole and hope AB comes back soon

Yup, I think Andrus would be that guy if Choo is out... not that he is the best choice but he might be. I just hope Choo isn't out... he sure is a great catalyst.

are you thinking for the moment anyway:

1.Rios-RF
2. Andrus-SS
3. Fielder-1B
4. Kouz-3b
5. Moreland-DH
6. Choice-LF
7. Murphy/Wilson-2B
8. Teen-CF
9. Cheerios- C (who is this JPA guy people talk about... I have never seen him show up)

That would work for me... see Wash going with Andrus at leadoff though. Be more interested in seeing the above though.

Yeah, that does seem the most reasonable.. hopefully no DL trip but I assume that is pretty likely.

You know, we complained about depth some at the start of the season but lately we have shown we are pretty deep. I have no doubt that Choice can step up if something is up with Choo.

Tough call, but maybe flip/flop KK and Fielder

Though I do think Wash would have Andrus leadoff anyway

I hate California teams and their fans in general.

You've got the Bay Area, a combination of smug hippies in SF and sub-human garbage in Oakland.

Then farther south, you've got the LA area, a combination of gang bangers in LA and fairweather, ignorant, and often apathetic idiots in Anaheim.

The only team in California I can stand is the Padres. From the small group I met and the fans I encountered as a visiting team fan at their stadium, they seemed pretty laid back and cool.

San Diego is a great city and that ballpark is nice. If i were to have to move to California, La Jolla or San Diego would be it
