Song Lyrics
Let it be
Let it be
Let it be
Let it be
Cut Shea Hillenbrand
Let it be
I am speaking at the L.A. County Museum of Art at some $200 per-ticket art shindig tonight so I will happily be missing this depressing team and its attempt to win a 2nd game out of the 8 it plays on this miserable, forgettable, re-routed, rain-delayed, unretired 42 cross country windstorm.
The home cookin' better be a pot of Panther stew washed down with a coupla pints of Pride.

OPD out of spite
P: Hillenbrand
D: 12
Obviously, I'm saying this game will go into extra innings.
It's time for him to start earning his keep.
OPD
P: Lackey
D: 2
You down with opd, yeah you know me!
OPD
first person not to pick Lackey... I hope I'm wrong.
Say Shea
Rev, did Shea steal your girlfriend in high school because he was a better ballplayer or something? Jeez, I just don't get you folks who genuflect from game to game.
Here's some news you may have heard but your emotions don't allow you to process: teams don't go 162-0, nor 142-20, nor 120-42. Our team will go 90 something and whatever. They'll have spells where they go 18-8 from monthy to month. RELAX or go take a valium!
Just don't do it before your LACMA talk.
Strange Comparison
let's see here
Avg: .160
HR: 3
RBI: 7
Batting stance: constipated
And Hillenbrand?
Avg.: .156
HR: 0
RBI: 1
Batting stance: not working
The difference here is that Pujols is at least driving in runs while hitting like my grandma.
by Carl Johnson on Apr 18, 2007 9:56 AM PDT up reply actions
Uhh...
Hillenbrand is Steve Finley, not Albert Pujols.
the point is...
Hillenbrand is a career .285 hitter and avgs. 19 HR's a year. he was specifically brought in to replace Juan Rivera until the latter gets back.
If you guys can remember beyond yesterday, Rivera is a notorious sloowwwwwwww starter and could just as easily be sucking right now. My point is you guys need patience. If it was Rivera in the DH spot would you be crying the same? My guess is, yes. Let's dump him for the hot hitter this week. Leave that to your fantasy league, this is the real deal!
No, we wouldn't say dump Rivera

Rewind

- "<batter> grounds out to short/second base, and that's another one-two-three inning for <opponent pitcher with less than 50 IP in the majors>."
from now on

I don't like the sound of this:
Why they couldn't have already had x-rays taken I don't know. But if it's swollen up on him like they say, I'm gonna start crossing my fingers, because the last thing we need right now is for that guy to go on the DL with a broken bone. He's the only support Vlad's got right now.
Erick Aybar looks extremely uncomfortable out there. Every time I see him I cringe, as he appears to be out of his depth. I hope he shows signs of breaking out of this soon, he's supposed to be a top prospect.
Big John wasn't all that great today, but still, 3 runs through 6 innings should not be the end of the world or anything. He battled, and ended up throwing 100 plus pitches, and I admire his tenacity and will to win. He and Jared are tremendous competitors. I'm so happy that both of those guys are on our team.
That's the bright side I'm taking with me from today's game. Both Lackey today and Weaver last night gutted it out and showed how badly they want to succeed.
I agree with Rev: we gotta bring up Kendry. I feel the mono/dippydoodleitis thing catching up to Kotchman again. I swear the guy is 0 for a road trip or something. He and Hillenbrand....god help us.
no team chemistry
this is what happens when you trade away your core leaders
i mean
long story short, im pissed. just swap the Salt Lake team with the pro team and see what happens
Keep steady until may
poor Rev
Is it okay to boo the Angels
Maybe....
Everyone managed to get a point... except one.
... Day off for the better please...
(96% Confidence Level to Lackey, 48/50)
Ok. And, i just realized who "Butterskotch" is Higz, so ignore the yellow highlight.
did Danaheim drop acid this morning?
