Thunder

Good signs from Pedey today.

This is a huge OF here in San Fran.

Salty has a pretty nice .343 OBP this year.

Pedey broke through last AB, so I'm not bummed that he didn't do anything there. He pulled a solidly hit groundball. Not told bad.

Okay, we score on luck. That's not going to happen every time. We need hits. EDIT: That was my 3,000th post.

Okay, 2 outs, runner on second. Past week, we don't score. Lets see what we do.

Drew is playing because he's .333 lifetime coming into today against Zito.

This is the kind of offense I like to see.

Ells is heating up, Victorino is hustling down the line, and Pedey needs to get going.

I know right. *Tries to delete all the GT's that have been started by me*

This offense is really making me start to panic.

Damn. This is why we need to score more runs.

We still need to improve hitting with RISP. This is getting depressing.

Will getting the job done! That is what we need.

He's been leading off innings a lot.

Ortiz has been great all year. With Nap hurt, it's a good time to get him playing time.

All I know is that it's certainly possible.

Farrell said he wasn't going to play him everyday...

You actually believe him? How many times has he lied? Even if he is telling the truth, his first few years with Seattle was the clean A-Rod.

I have the page open, but lineups aren't up yet.

No. My guess is that he started when he first got to the Yankees. That was when he got rich enough to afford them in large quantities.

Fine. I'll just hack into RSFFL's account.

I agree, but you must use my perfect GT names for the Dodgers series.

Xander could also be the black, PED free version of A-Rod. Or at least what his career could have been.
