Please get Heilman out of there.

Wow

"Do you want a bunch of duds walking around with their shoulders slumped and having no emotions, no feelings?" Bradley said. "I don’t think the fans want that. I think they want a guy who’s going to get into the game and feel a little bit. I’ve always said, ‘I don’t really play baseball, I feel it.’ "

Well

at least I get to continue getting saves for my bet on Gregg for this year.

That was just about the closest HR to where Al sits that I’ve ever seen.

What’s most frustrating about this is that yesterday, Heilman was almost perfect.

Forget all that other stuff. I gotta believe.

by drewishdrewid on Jul 25, 2009 2:51 PM CDT reply actions  

I know!

I hope I have to pay up, that would mean a lot of saves down the stretch!

How big is Milton now?

Actually, Heilman would have never been there if Milton had not hit that, so SCREW Milton.
