Nice, no more babying Reyes with Molina.

Not worth it on a guy like him to take a good bat out of the lineup.

I haven't been able to follow things as closely as I'd like to, so can someone give me an update on Hill. Is he injured or just playing that poorly that Nix has taken over second base. I can't imagine a scenario where the latter is true.

Because they don't want to stretch Rzep back out, only for him to be sent back to the 'pen in two weeks. I'm okay with that decision...he's been very good out of the bullpen, and while I'd prefer him as a starter, the reality is that we have a pretty crowded rotation going forward; if his place long-term is in the bullpen, keep him there.

Likewise, Villaneuva last threw 50+ pitches on the second-to-last day on the 2009 season. They'd be hard-pressed to get more than four innings out of him without taxing his arm.

Jo-Jo with a one-hit shutout tonight.

Now don't act surprised when it happens.

Hellickson will either eat us up or get bombed.

Chris Woodward has ex-convict eyes.

I think we have a shot at him, so long as we go out swinging for fastballs. If he can get ahead and use his off-speed stuff more, we're boned.

Wow, Reyes goes an inning without a walk. I don't know about you, but I view that as a major success.

I glanced up a little late... did Reyes have Upton struck out looking?

For some reason Felipe Lopez is their cleanup hitter.

Kind of embarrassing.

Jose Bautista doesn't just have a horseshoe up his ass...he has the whole horse.

Bautista with the sneaky slide.
