You've either got balls of steel or you've got balls of jello to take on today's game thread! Good luck!

I figure it's more we've got brains of ****.

Well, if I had brains of steel I'd stay clear of magnets..............do those brains come stainless?

IUnril this thread, I'd never wondered what the record was for combined syllables between a pair of starting pitchers was.

Anyone got software to speed up my manual research?

Go Linguistic Anomalies!

I predicted 80-82, so......! Not that I want that.

Why do they insist on playing their 25th man? Every damn day it makes us worse.

Haniger's out, Santana's out, now Beckham's out..

Judas priest, they pay these bums way too much (even rookies) to give them routine days off. It's a G.D. game they're lucky to play. Bunch of pansies playing nowadays.

Either that or Servais needs to stop putting the team at a daily disadvantage for no reason. Every day with the replacement player that's .150 OPS lower than the guy he's replacing. So dumb.

The M’s continue with their grim reluctance to blow a game open with a key hit.
Jay Bruce is Buhneresque with 22 hits and 23 RBI s

He needs to rest the regulars in May so they are fresh in Sept for the Pennant race!

Pfft, right?! Good Lord.

That's why I say you plant a guy there like Ichiro that you never want in the game anyways, but can provide decent defense.

Servais treats this like Little League. I swear I heard him talk about "using everybody" the other day. Turned my stomach.
