Have I told you how much I like Jimmy Baseball? ;)

Felix Pie must play everyday!
How about that STINKING CARDINAL, huh?
Go Eddy, baby .. slap that ball around the park!
Well, Next Year is here .. and Jack's century's gotta end some time .. GO CUBBIES!

I was one of his biggest haters, but damn, it does look like his swing is much better now…

Actually, that's not true.
Most of us are quite willing to admit when we’re wrong, it’s just that the few who won’t are among the loudest voices.
I’m more than ready to admit I was wrong about Edmonds, but it’s going to take a lot more than two nice games against the lowly Rockies to get to that point.
"I've always felt that starting pitching is the most important part of the rotation." - Joe Morgan, Sunday Night Baseball 8-12-07
Yep...
Not a lover yet either, but if he keeps it up, most of use will be glad to admit we were wrong.

"I've always felt that starting pitching is the most important part of the rotation." - Joe Morgan, Sunday Night Baseball 8-12-07
I'm not covinced just yet.
But he has looked better the past few days.
"I've always felt that starting pitching is the most important part of the rotation." - Joe Morgan, Sunday Night Baseball 8-12-07
The thing is
Apparently he went back to his old, successful batting stance before the game on Friday. He changed his stance in new Busch and at Petco, and it didn’t work for him, obviously. Whatever it is, hope it continues!
"Is there anything he can't do?" ~Len Kasper, 4/5/08, on Kosuke Fukudome
Yeah, Brenly said he eliminated
the stride from his stance and went back to the old stance he used, like you said, in STL. Looks like it’s working for him thus far!

Don't know. He may want to milk another inning and save the bullpen.
Do we play tomorrow or day after? I think that would factor into it.

Tack on to that RBI total.

Don’t bail out Jimenez

If I were Jimenez, I would not try to come in on Soto again.

I just had a weird feeling
Edmonds is on deck and I feel somewhat confident that he can pick up Geo if necessary.

Weurtz coming in, likely part of a double switch with Fonty coming in for Derosa, who made the last out.
