We're at .500 -- that's probably where we'll end the season.

There's always next year.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Kinda late for that.

I'll ask this again... why in the hell is Blanco batting lefty against left handed pitching? He is a switch hitter, correct?

He batted right-handed his first at bat yesterday, for some reason switched. Maybe he's hurting or something.

Yeah that's what I keep wondering, I have no idea why, but as long as he is doing it, he better not be in anymore lineups against lefties because he looks awful.

Well, he did hit an RBI double off one yesterday.

He sucks, he shouldn't be on a major league team. It took 3 injured infielders to get him on the team.

Yeah, we seem to have cornered the market on those types of players this season.

I'm just surprised a reason hasn't been given, since Len and Bob were going on about it during yesterday's game.

Yeah. I mean if it's like a knuckleballer or something it happens a lot, so I thought maybe he wasn't seeing Duke well from that side, but I guess that wasn't the reason at all. Probably a headcase. He'll fit right in.

Len and Bob said tonight that he has had surgery (I'm not sure how recently) on his left shoulder. And since the front shoulder is more important, it is more comfortable for him to bat lefty.

Thanks. Hopefully pretty soon he'll be comfortable back in Iowa.

I had Costas and Plesac on MLB Network, and they really kind of suck. Plesac seemed pretty happy having an opportunity to rip on the Cubs whenever he got the chance tonight.

I was busy making dinner. Dodgers had 2 on, and then next time I checked my iphone, Cubs had the bases loaded one out. For some reason, I figured the game was in the bag. I don't know what drugs I was on. I am standing there cooking mushrooms thinking the Cubs won the game (or at least got it to extras).
I like you guys a lot.
