Why Stairs is not in the lineup is just beyond me. Sometimes, Gibby really baffles me..

I cannot for the life of me understand the facination with Mench. This guy is not a good ball player and is a waste in the lineup. I would much rather see Lind, Stairs or Stewart (In that order)

Left-handed pitcher, I guess. Stairs doesn't hit them well, though one could argue that Mench doesn't hit anyone well.

Mench grounds into a double play. :clap:

When is Wells coming back?? :waaa:

He's the team MVP so far imo. Rolen a close second.

Barajas needs to be the starter when Zaun comes back. He is clearly better at the plate and I feel he is better with the glove as well. That might make too much sense for Gibby though. Does Barajas call a good game with the pitchers?

Wells could return to Jays next week

That will be quite welcome as Mench and Wilkerson should never be in the same outfield. Wells really healed quick. It'll be very nice to have him back.

Why was Tallet left in there to face Mora??

Peteros · Post #13 » by **Peteros** » Sat Jun 7, 2008 1:42 am

Bullpen throws it away again. All that work from Marcum for nothing. Thanks bullpen.

**** this team....

I probably shouldn't have started watching this in the 8th inning. In retrospect, a poor decision on my part.

Kid.Canada.23 · Post #20 » by **Kid.Canada.23** » Sat Jun 7, 2008 1:50 am

this is the 4th game in a week we have blown late....

Instead of 32-31, we should be or 35-28 or 36-27
