Longoria goes deep…I’ll take him
I’m taking the Zorilla. I don’t know if he’s playing, but he seems to be one of the few guys with any kind of game plan at the plate.
Jeff Niemann
Burrell
BJ I’ll just play behind second base, Upton. wish he could as fast from home to first as he does in centerfield. I miss Fernado perez……
Pena had sit back and watch the bludgeoning yesterday, so now he’s fired up.
don’t really know who to pick anymore, but I’ll go with Niemann just cuz
Gimme BJ Upton. This can’t last forever………can it?
I will have to go Mr. Melvin Upton! Go get ‘em Rays!
Longoria
Longo, Longo, Longo can’t you see,
Sometimes your swings just hypnotize me
Longorious
I’ll take Carlos Pena.
Note to BJ – You’re still my favorite player, but please stop taking so many pitches, especially those nice juicy fastballs RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE!!! And stop swinging late on the pitches you DO swing at. If I have to hear Dwayne Stats tell me “Look how he lets the ball get deep” I’m going to scream. I understand you want to work the count, but this is crazy. BE AGRESSIVE!!! Remember the playoffs?
I am going with the Bossman Jr
I’ve got the Dirtbag T-shirt on to turn around the offense. And the Anteaters are on patrol.
I have to go with Jeff Niemann.
Bartlett…he’s back in twinkie town, and he’ll tear it up
Iwamura needs a long ball or some extra bases,
BJ
