Seems like
we have forgotten how to do it a bit. It really seemed like all three of those outs were on pitcher’s pitches rather than hitter’s pitches.

No doubt
hopefully the trip to St. Louis will get these guys loose…

Plus
Dempster is pitching tomorrow. If there is one guys who we can count on to get us out of a bad stretch I think its him. He seems to have the right character makeup to be the guy to never get down, never give up, never surrender…oh and to give Lou a wedgie…

Lou's face looks like he just saw Cotts throw another ball.

Hoff is getting benched.
Dome will move to right and Reed will paly center.

or fact?

He just announced it
in his post game presser.

Makes sense
plus there really isnt much drop off b/n reed and hoff as far as a bat goes (IMO). Although there is the handedness factor..

Lou said
he’s willing to give up theoffeense for better defense.

Plus
with Reed, Theriot and Wonder Hamster, we have the all scrappy team..even better with Demp pitching.

I really think Reed
brings energy to this team when he plays. I’m a huge Reed fan.

Any postgame info from Lou?

Hoff's not benched, just moved to his roster spot...

Fair enough
He is only starting b/c of GB’s injury, i hope he is better very soon.
