Alexi Amarista Starting in LF Tonight

Taking a quick look at his minor league numbers, Amarista played some rookie league outfield at age 19 in the Arizona league and a game in CF with no action at Single-A Cedar Rapids. This occurred in 2008. Magically he appears there again tonight with Vernon Wells replacing Peter Bourjos (maybe he is "Sore-jous" today) in CF. I wonder if Mike Scioscia has let him know about this yet. Is May 6 the Venezuelan version of April Fools Day? Wouldn't a "Hey the Navy Seals just put a hole in the face of Hugo Chavez" have sufficed? Let's hope that Amadeus Lexus takes the right glove with him as he runs out to the stadium's blasting of Thin Lizzy's "The Boys Are Back In Town" at 7:07 tonight. I will be in 538, where will you be?
Check your PREGAME PICKS and take note of the weird lineup out there...

Actually Red and I played with that one the other night in a game thread, I changed it to Bikini Amarista.

Washington is full of bikini baristas...don't they have those down your way?

some are way better than others...some have been shut down for being too wild
In WA there are espresso stands on damn near every corner. Some have schemes to cater to certain demographics, if u know what I mean?!

I did something similar in a game thread a while ago...

I don't get it, Colin
I mean, I get the Dub Yoo, but not the Tee Eff.
Could you explain it to me?

You know, if we had Fleet Pete in there instead of King Lousy tonight
That would have to be the fastest team in MLB.
So how are all your red sux buddies (haha) faring today? The fall-out around Beantown must be classic.
I worked at home today
And it’s Bruins, Bruins, Bruins (with a little Celtics) on the radio, although there was a predictable rant in the Globe this morning. You think we’re tough on VW? Read the paper the day after a Lackey start.
Too funny
I’m sure they have all started to bail out on the Celtics, like many of us have out here with the Lakers. Though I have’t given up hope . . . yet. We’’ll see what happens tonight.
This Lakers dynasty is nearly done...

If you are truly a Mavs fan
then you know that history has shown that you are about to have your heart cut out of your living body and shown to you before you die.

I ain't much of an NBA fan anymore, but a Lakers series loss does not mean that their dynasty is done.
All it means is that the Lakers having to play so many extra games with so few weeks off between, year after year after year, is finally catching up to them.
Since the start of the 2008-2009 season, the Lakers have played an extra 75 games, nearly an entire 5th season in the span of 4 years. Meanwhile, the Mavs have onlyed an extra 29, averaging only 7 extra games per year.
Sned them home. Let them catch up on their rest. Resume Dynasty.

Meh
Unless they can land Howard and/or Paul I don’t think the Lakers will go on any more historic “dynasty” runs
What we've got here is a failure to communicate.

There is a difference between going on another dynasty run...
…and being completely done with this one.
You don’t have to win EVERY year to be on a dynasty run.

One day I'm gonna write a book called "Mike Scioscia and the Prevalent Platoons"

so i have to ditch my novella “Looney Platooney: A Mike Scioscia Story”
What do you need a fancy suit for, Charlie, you ain't got no job to wear it to.
Does that mean I have to nix my daily calendar?

Roll with that.
The only time “Turn the Page” would make any sense.

Collapso has played LF before in the majors, even last year for the Angels.
Why not Collapso in LF, Sandanista at 2B and Maicer at 3B.
And no Trumbo? pshaw.
w00t the f00k.

Soth has just never been good at building an offense.
He has done some pretty great things with pitching and defense over the years but….well, Darin Erstad was once our first baseman, on purpose. First of all, he has been a slave to platoon splits. I am willing to bet dollars to donuts (the donut shop next door is very excited) that Masterson has some crazy platoon splits where he dominates righties, so Soth is going to sit Bourjos, Trumbo and Mathis and play the lefties, even if they are pip squeak middle infielders.
I wonder if Bourjos needs a night off...
after playing “human pinball” on the basepaths last night?
I love this team.

None of the above...
My favorite nickname is Bikini Amarista

“sexy?” just guessing.

FYI - Brandon Wood is 2 for 2 today with 1 RBI
He has raised his average to .242 which if I recall correctly is about 100 points.
wow
How bout that?

Check this out:
If we started, say:
OF: Wells, Abreu, Hunter
INF: Callaspo, Aybar, Amarista, Kendrick (at 1st)
Battery: Voodoo and Conger
DH: Izzy
Would this be the first all non-white (non Euro-American) starting line-up in MLB history?
Euro-trash is the worse
:P

I guess the boys scored too many runs yesterday
Don’t want to get the offense all overheated or anything.
It's a funny old world; a man's lucky if he gets out of it alive.
I would rather Tumbo get the start in LF
to prepare for the day when Kendrys gets back and we give up on the Vern experiment
Well, come see a fat old man some time!

"Ballplayers play baseball." -Jose Mota
Scioscia wants as many left-handed bats as possible in the line up
Rightys are only batting .100 off Masterson.
That’s what they just said in the pre-game show
If a lexus and a VW crash into each other in Center Left field....
which driver is at fault?
Well WIllits and Pettit are never gonna get another chance with this team.
Jeff Mathis Batting Average Watch: .194
That was my thought.
Not so much with Petit, who I think still has a chance to earn a spot on the roster, replacing aging Abreu or Hunter, or Wells at some point.
I think if Lexus and Trumbo can handle playing the OF sometimes Willits is gone. We need space to keep a fourth catcher anyway, right?
In the long run men hit only what they aim at. Therefore, though they should fail immediately, they had better aim at something high.

I would venture to say that Amarista in LF worked out pretty damned Wells.
