Kind of felt like picking on little leaguers, but maybe not that different than good pitchers facing us. Still, it was nice to see a double digit score for a change.

Kirk leading the majors in DRS from catcher and hitting near .300 again and has 1.4 fWAR (leads jays) That deal is gonna be a bargain.

Okay, maybe more games like that and our SD blowout, and less games like *gestures wildly at the rest of the season*

Kirk just continues to save this franchise. Is he the real MVP?

Sorry, im trying to delete it.
9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.

I don't understand Schneider. We're up by 6. We have a bullpen day tomorrow. We have our long man pitching the 7th.

Why wouldn't you let him pitch the 8th (and hopefully 9th) as well? We're going through our pen tomorrow, and it would be nice to not have too many people going two days in a row.
