Longoria’s back tonight, who can resist picking him?
sticking with Joe D
Pena
Zorilla!
BJ Upton
First of all I don’t get Kapler being in the line up, Pettitte has always been tougher on Righties then lefties. I think last year Maddon even stacked the line up with Lefties, and made his switch-hitters bat lefty against Pettitte, and we did well against him… Whatever… I’m going with Pena…
Crawford
I wouldn’t take Carlos if Bozo the Clown were pitching. I know he’s a streaky hitter, but this is painful.
Give me BJ.
Are Eric Gagne and bozo the clown the same guy?
lo lo lo longoriaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

In the words of the Star Man from kiss, “[He's] back, back in the New York Groove.”
Evan Longoria.
PS. Kiss blows. I love watching Kiss fans get angry every year when they’re not inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Additionally, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is the Hard Rock Cafe without the appetizers.
I can see famous pants in Tampa, I don’t need to travel to Cleveland for them.
BJ Upton. I think he’s gonna lead things off with a bang!

That bottom 3rd of the order makes me cry. Seriously, I hate it.
Also, why is it on FSF and ESPN? Isn’t it usually one or the other?
i could be wrong, but i think it is because ESPN doesn’t have exclusive rights on Monday. If the game was Sunday night, then it would only be ESPN. I think ESPN also used to have exclusive rights to Wednesday night games if the picked one, but that might not be the case any longer.
Ahh, I see. I thought they always had exclusive rights when they aired games. Thanks
It is usually blackout in the team’s market for non-Sunday ESPN games. But that makes it available to anyone in the nation with cable anyway.
