name a lead off guy that is better. there aren’t many nowadays
that is about theriot
Well... I wouldn't be too hard on him.
There aren’t many great leadoff hitters in general and fans in other cities don’t watch Theriot make TOOTBLANS.

A lovely story:
One day, long, long ago, there lived a woman who didn't whine, nag or bitch. That would be me....
But that was a long time ago and it was just that one day.
The end
What the hell happened?

NICE JOB MARMOL

I'll go to my grave believing Armando Galarraga tossed the 21st perfect game in MLB history.
They both suck today
Marmol didn’t need to be walking those guys
I'll go to my grave believing Armando Galarraga tossed the 21st perfect game in MLB history.
Soto blew the play of the game.
But I agree that Marmol bears some responsibility.
THIS is the team we know too well.

Ball bounced up and off Geo's mitt.
Now a wild pitch. FU**!
