Pie comes in for Johnson
If you play Defender I could be your hyper-space.

Wonder if RJ is hurt?
He’s done fine defensively in CF, and I think he can hit RHP.
This is weird…

How many breaking balls
is he going to stand there and take for strike 3? With 2 strikes, how can you complete freeze up and take breaking balls in the zone? I understand this was a backdoor slider, but he has taken curveballs right down the middle.

Alan Trammell: Assistant (to the) Manager

XM has the Wash broadcast
So they said a cake came and his name was “spelled wrong”. So the other guy says “Oh my! Did they put a ‘C’ before the ‘K’? My wife asked if they could say that on radio. Then the guy who saw the cake says no no no they didn’t put a C before the K.
Anyway his name was spelled Fukodome and it was a real mistake but it was a funny conversation. Even for the people who didnt get it the 1st time they got it when the guy spelled it out loud saying F-U-K-O-D-O-M-E.
I guess ya had to be there haha

There's a MASN promo airing
where fans are attending announcer training camp and are learning how to pronounce difficult names. Last name is Fukodome’s – any everyone starts laughing, except for Nats studio host Johnny Holliday who asks “What are you, twelve?”
Even Piggy’s name was in the promo – someone said “Pigs in Jello”?

Soto
Is on pace for 120+ strikeouts. Meanwhile, can he keep up a .410 BABIP? I think that would be a record. He is going to trend down in his BA/OBP/SLG.
Meanwhile, Pie is trending up. That said, Soto is clearly a better hitter than Felix.
by californiachicagoan on Apr 26, 2008 8:38 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
i don't see how....
...you can assume that he’s gonna keep the same strikeout pace, but not the same hitting pace.
------ TheRiot Squad ------
by RightFieldSucks on Apr 26, 2008 8:41 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Luck
Because how often a person strikes out tends to be more consistent for a player than batting average of ball in play. BABIP can fluctuates wildly from year to year for the same player, but K/9 don’t, as much.

You'll enjoy SB in the summer...
I know one of the old PR guys from the Forresters who went on to the NBA. Good luck.

Thanks, Ross!
I interned at KEYT, but that was last winter. Haven’t experienced summer yet. I’m looking for extra employment though to support myself. Any suggestions?

I'm not kidding
Win a few bucks on the Cubs then buy URLs and park advertisements ont he pages then get paid per click and use the profits to buy Cubs tickets! Thats what I do. I just scored http://www.summerolympics2008.com/ that’ll earn me at least 10 bleacher tickets this season.

Not sure
I don’t live up there anymore. Last I heard Gerry Fall is still at KEYT. UCSB’s athletics department might have some openings. Stay away from the News Press. Too much bad juju there.
