what's great is...
that we are still at/near the top of the division and best record in mlb – we’re money

Oh i'm not worried...
Last year though, when we were losing and things were tight later in the year, losing 5 of 7 sounds horrible…
This year though, the losses so far don’t seem to hurt as much.

It's not like DLee swung at a bad pitch or anything.
He hit it well, just right at someone.

Down on one knee, trainer out immediately.
According t othe replay, that’s off the front edge of his left wrist. (Front edge defined by if you put your hand out flat, horizontal to the ground and perpendicular to your line of sight.)

Yeah, but it's swelling up fast.
He could barely put his batting glove on his hand. I foresee a Cedeno appearance.

Because one of your best hitters just got nailed up
by a pitcher with impecobile control…that’s why…hell yeah I plunk someone!!!! Even if it wasn’t intentional….this team could use a little spark
