Flying leap, aided shove... whatever it takes!

Don't kid yourselves. Borch is going to look really bad at times. You gotta remember the year he was drafted was the first time he had ever played just baseball. He has a lot of catching up to do. But that being said the kid is smart enough and mentally tough enough to do that learning at the major league level.

Bottom of the 3rd Mark gets the first two hitters, loads the bases, then K's Milton Bradley who is hitting .500 against lefties this year to end the inning. yeesh.

JIMENEZ DOES YARD WORK!!! 2-1 Sox!

Sox can't do any damage in the first with a runner at 2nd and two outs.

:fyou lol too bad you can't put a smilie in green. Have fun man.

and actually Hawk and DK kept saying that this game seemed so much worse because of the excellent balls and strikes umping that we had had this year thus far.

You're dating yourself there Arne...

DJ is 39th in MLB for OBP. more then 100 pts off the lead. That should have been for lead off hitters, sorry...

How can anyone think that Jimenez has been bad or even average AS A LEADOFF HITTER? This guy is 3rd in MLB in OBP last I looked, he is seeing a ton of pitches per AB, and has done a great job in front of the #2 and #3 spots that had been hitting about .240 between them, until Lee was moved up there last week. Granted I think Jimenez would be an ideal #2 hitter, if we had someone with speed to hit lead off. The guy is 3rd in the league for least %age of pictches swung and missed. He is a great hit and run guy. We teach him how to bunt and he would have it all. But in the absence of a true lead off hitter DA is the best that we have.

As long Konerko isn't hitting and Thomas is, start Frank at first base, what are you really losing? At least then ONE of them is hitting.

After the whole Bobby Hill thing you can bet those guys aren't even on our draft board.

So I have two reasons to root for the Giants. I have them in my 13 run pool too!!!

Well that tells me #1 they are learning from their mistakes, and #2 they are a little more set with pitching at the major league level.

I watched Alfonzo Soriano and Alex Rodriguez drop pop up very reminicent of the one the D'Angelo dropped in Seattle. Not so much Sori as he is still learning the game, but they said that ARod has always had trouble on short OF pop ups.

How is Ripken overrated?

Or the fact his flintstone vitamins are no longer league and he came into camp weighing 15 pounds less than last year...

But everyone knew it was Frank... The only picker was elrockinMT, Congrats!

On me!!! D'oh!

Being a lover of irony, I am with you on this one. Prolife = blowing away people who are not pro life? Anyway I won't say anything more on this one...

The 5-31 PTC's DO NOT COUNT! ANyone who wants to make a pick for today must do so. BTW I am going to go with Thomas

Yeah I got them all.

How is the Blue chip? I used to go there a lot...... Personally I always thought it was a dump, but that is just IMO. But the area is SOOO much better than it was 10-15 years ago when it was all projects. There are a lot better things to do in MC.
