not sure what that is

but we have a thing here that is called “urent care” which has the copays of a normal dr and the ability to help like an ER (within reason)

Unofficial Self Appointed President of the Castro Blocker Fan Club

by Cubbie-Tim on May 2, 2010 1:30 PM CDT up reply actions  

Sounds like Med-Point

MP is basically for people who have or don’t have insurance and need some type of urgent care. When I jacked up my neck, and another time when I had a migraine that was so bad I thought I was gonna die, it was after hours so I went to MP because going to an ER would have been stupid. They’re doctors and all that, but doctors not with any kind of practice.

not that specifically

but most communities have some kind of non-emergent care.

Hopefully no one else falls off

It always seems like it’s something, y’know? The pitching is good, but the hitting isn’t. The hitting comes around, and the pitching takes a dive. Soto and Sori get hot, and Rami and Lee slump.

If this team can fire on all cylinders, man, this is a scary team.

Does anybody have a stat on the number of bases loaded situations that teams have taken this year

and along with that the number of bases loaded walks? I was wondering about this yesterday

The D'Backs have allowed an obnoxious number of bases-loaded walks

So far this season. Somewhere between 7 and 10.

Well

Not having Ramirez in the lineup today means Chad Tracy gets on base and eventually crosses home plate.

if tracy is going to be on the team

he needs to play.

giving rami the day off (esp with off day, roadtrip tomorrow) hopefully lets him just focus on what he needs to do.
