RAIN DELAY DEBATE (if there IS one...): Geo locked up the NL ROY last night...
I have a hard time believing anyone else can beat him out unless he has a horrid September- and give his PCL MVP recognition last year, he would seem to have the "consistency" side of the equation worked out pretty well.
Hard to believe earlier this season he had that run of consecutive at bats where he struck out.
Was it five (in one game)? More over two?

Deja vu all over again ;)
Go Green! Go White! GO STATE! (#13031 on the Cubs season ticket waiting list...)
well in that case...
Geo struck out 8 straight times over 4/25-26. However, Zambrano and the bullpen combined on a shutout on the 26th, prompting Geo to remark that he could care less about striking out 5 times in a game since the pitchers threw well and the team won.
That’s when they turned the corner, IMHO.

Sori should have gone
on contact and force the issue, either way he is either out or scores, DLee is much slower and Sori get’s the secondary lead and is halfway home before the ball gets to JWilson.

I do enjoy my Budweiser.
And to be frank, I’m not entirely thrilled with European brews – I like to drink my beer, not eat it.
But Coors sells watered-down malt liquor and tries to act like it’s a gourmet beer that has to be kept chilled so it doesn’t lose one ounce of its precious flavor. It’s ridiculous.
Ah, yes...
…the blue thing on the bottle…which also begs the question, why is anyone drinking Coors Light out of bottles?

Scrappy is a disaster waiting to happen on the base paths.

And he's often quiet when Theriot or Fonzie make mistakes.

I disagree with that
They frequently point out bad baseball. And they aren’t bad commentators.
Yes, BB has his biases, but it sounds like he did comment (got Gameday audio here).

Radio is about 3 plays behind mlb game day, which should I pay attention to?

This jambalaya is good
It can only mean one thing:

You cannot expect DeRosa to make that catch everytime....
I don’t blame him for diving…but I would have rather seen him take a deeper route and concede the hit.

Is there a new thread? Or is no one talking because this game is better than expected from Marquis and Duke?
