I’m gonna get crazy and take the Giraffe today. Third start’s a charm.
This is starting to get depressing. Can I pick someone from the other team? OK….I’ll so with (picking random name out of hat….) Gabe Gross.
Crap
Ya gotta have hope. There’s always the bat boy, or someone in Durham… I’d go with rain, but I think they can close the stadium in Seattle.
well, i know we can’t pick a hitter. those guys suck right now. so i guess it is Niemann by default
well, since being in the lineup usually helps in order to be player of the game, i’ll have to switch my guess to Bartlett
Longo all day
Hmmm… gotta go Longo.
I am jumping on the Longo bandwagon.
Carlos Pena wants that hitting streak back.
Longoria
Wade Davis? No?
I’ll go with Crawford in a bounce back.
Carl Crawford!
Navi
The Sunburst Player of the Game will be Jeff Niemann.
The bat.
Aybar… to even sure if he’s in the lineup today, but I have a good feeling about Aybar against Jaka… whatever his name is.
Burrell
Ok I feel a winning streak upon me…;o) Im going with Navi again..
haven’t gone with Aki lately, so I’ll take a chance with him. Gotta happen someday!
Burrell looked like he just missed a couple last night. He is close. Maybe tonight’s the first multi-home run game.
GIRAFFE!
I’m going to go with Burrell. I’ll probably regret it because I have a second choice, but hopefully I made the right decision today.
I’m never picking Pat Burrell again. I’m so dissapointed in myself that I decided to go with him instead of Crawford. I need to call Carl to apologize and let him punch me in the mouth for not picking him.
Carl Crawford and the Rays get out of their slump tonight.
I’ll stick with what worked last night…. the M’s offense is still pretty crappy (at least when you don’t help them out by playing your OFs ridiculously shallow), so I’ll go with Jeff Niemann.
C.C.
Upton
It appears that Rocco is already on the DL.
yeah, some jackass over at DRB posted a fanshot making fun of Baldelli being on the DL again. Looked like they were trying to bait Prof. Saw the DRB writers made the same joke on Twitter yesterday. Morons.
you know what you call somebody that makes fun of somebody with a disease? A fucking pussy.
you know what you call somebody that makes fun of somebody with a disease while hiding behind a screen name? A fucking pussy with a little dick.
If i ever met one of those DRAYS BAY PUSSIES, i will punch him in the fucking mouth.
When he plays, Rocco is a productive and fun-to-watch player. I wish him the best and it is unfortunate that he has hit the DL so quickly. Word is that it is a simple hamstring problem.
Streaky hitter? I go with Pat the Bat
The Boss, Jr
I’m going with BJ again, because he is actually playing today
C Pena going deep tonight…PLEASE!
