My dad has a saying. You run into an asshole one day, you met an asshole. You run into 5 assholes in 5 days, you're the asshole.

Ya know, you've said this before and I enjoyed it.

Today, I wrote it down.

I'm not looking forward to the dreaded Coco Crisp ABs against us. I hated that motley crew team of coco, Donaldson, Sogard, and reddick. I'm glad they were broken up.

Hoping there is no emotional letdown

How could there not be? At least some.

How much emotion did you put into yesterday? Didn't slug anyone, nor get slugged did ya?

 

[Duane1952]

Keep it up Derek.

 

[darrylgann]

Everybody at the Warrior game. Sparse crowd.

Bet a couple of you slugged a bottle.

Bet a couple of you slugged a bottle.

Not an entire bottle, but perhaps a "snort-or-two."

All kidding aside, I was literally jumping up-and-down, howling at the moon, yet the sun had yet to set.

Slept like a charm several hours later though. ha

 

[darrylgann]

Why couldn't that be a home run

 

[DT LUNA]

Our man Ryan

That's like asking the chicken why he didn't cross the road.

Derek looking much better tonight

I know I'm gonna catch some grief, but Mazara is a FAR superior RF compared to Choo. I'd seriously consider keeping him there and putting Choo in left.

Choo was awful in left. Putting Mazara in LF gives you a better overall product in the OF.

Unfortunately, he often does for an inning or 2/3.

I think I'm a little disappointed about him - personal problem - b/c I sure thought (around 2010) he had the potential to be a very solid # 2.

Maybe I overestimated him, and therefore, has nothing to do with him.

Put Choo at first and trade Moreland...or put Prince down like a lame horse and DH Choo.

Let's not forget, Choo was awful "everywhere" at that point in his Ranger career. Isn't that right? He couldn't field, throw, nor hit if memory serves.

But as far-as-far Mazara is concerned, I think he's made at least 4 catches, and ONE BIG TIME THROW which Choo would not have made. Nor will he. Mazara may have saved/won 2 games for us "defensively."

Seems like a lot to me.

We need Moreland to throw guys around in fights. Pay someone to take Prince.

Choo could never play first

But he play hard?
