I'm so sad
to hear the score. I hope there’s something that sparks them. But I’m ready to go do something else. From the sounds of it, this one’s lost.
I think you'll regret those words
buddy.
My new life, my new world, and my beautiful daughter:
Kayla Davis: Due date (8-11-08)!
it's the FOURTH INNING.

he explained it in the thread.
No disrespect, I pronounce it FooKoo, I just didn’t like someone saying “Don’t call him that” without an explanation. But he explained why he likes Dome instead, so it’s cool.

Jim Edmonds is out. Matt Murton will play LF. DeRosa moves to RF. Fukudome to CF. Huh?
Alan Trammell: Assistant (to the) Manager
yes.
And you don’t want Murton or DeRosa in center.

We knew this set of games would be a test... we're not going to glide like we did
but I’m sure we’re going to pull it out even if by sheer grit
btw, Emelie, I'm a journalism major too. Or I will have been once I graduate this weekend. : )
Alan Trammell: Assistant (to the) Manager
I'm long past the graduation expiration date :-)
I went to Boston University’s College of Communication
Cool!! Congrats. So are you currently employed in journalism? And may I request that you take Carrie Muskat's job?

Another grounder to Theriot, deep from the hole and a good throw to get Upton. inning over.

MUCH Better inning
for Z. Whew.

Z threw inferior stuff ON PURPOSE so he could inflate the ERA and miss the All-Star Game consideration, thus preserving his arm for the playoffs! Ah yes it makes so much sense!

NHK shows Dome's review in June
Including his 9th inning basehit against Saito, LAD, and 3run homer in Wrigley etc

Hoffpauir rips a ball past the first baseman all the way to the fence, he'll cruise into second with a double. Runner in scoring position with NObody out.

they've never played this good.
they don’t have a history of being there for their fans; the fans are therefore not there for them.

We have the answer for DeRo's error now.
Tampa’s mascot got into his head pregame, imitating all of his stretches and basically being his shadow. Shake it off, DeRo!

Then he did hip gyrations right behind DeRo's head! It's amazing he can even play today, what a gamer.

Aces get roughed up on occasion, though Z didn’t in today’s game, and they hang in there to pitch 6.2 with 100+. You don’t win many games scoring 3 runs.
