Rob – That happens to me literally every time I rip on a player…he gets a hit. It makes me think that I should also come up with really terrible insults on the reg in order to encourage them to get hits!

Greg – That is one of those sad, but true stats!

Will – Glad you enjoyed! I joked that 2/3 of all comments weren’t really publishable. They wanted to find a way to set up an “adult version” on a second site somewhere.

Mary Jo – When they won on Tuesday, I was happy with that. With Fister and Verlander, I figured that was all I could hope for. After last night, I thought “okay, whatever happens against Verlander, they won the series…” only to be pleasantly surprised for a third time today!

Aaron – The 23,000 is one of the biggest crowds I’ve seen for one of these noon games. They had a lot of school kids there, but it was still a good crowd.

I haven’t heard much on Tomlin, but I think he is doing some light throwing at this point. I haven’t heard a timeline yet of how soon he could be back though. And I’m with you on the outfield and the wasteland…I joked a little while ago that I wished I could put Aaron Cunningham and all of the rest of them annoying me on a deserted island somewhere. Kotchman has looked at least a little bit better at the plate though, and I’m willing to put up with a bit more crap from him because of his great defense than I am the other guys.

Kendall – You made Corey’s day with that comment! Half of the day I was laughing so hard, I could hardly type anything!

Couple of questions: How much longer on Tomlin and what are we doing in the way of a corner outfielder going? I can’t take much more of the Duncan/Damon/Cunningham platoon. The bottom of our lineup is a human wasteland right now (even though Marson and Kotchman came up with hits today…)

Major scent dump. Broom!
