Good Job. If AJM were here, he’d add the bells and whistles (lineups, pitchers, weather conditons, etc)

im confused why he and Hank are flipped. Maybe its still working Hank back in. Also I think Wash has said he values the 6th spot in the lineup but I just don’t understand it right now

NIck Swisher is a douche

(Captain Obvious, I know…)

And I’d say the same fucking thing if he was on my team. I don’t even know what he did to make me hate him… general douchiness, I guess…

Did he get a sponsor for that sign or what?

Heh

I’m sure he bought that sign at office max and scribbled his overused phrase on it. Piss poor. I bet Office Max was embarassed to have their name associated with that sign.

doubt it

It was probably another one of those situations where he wanted to spare the bullpen, but I don’t understand why you do it when it is pretty obvious you are going to have to use them in the next inning anyways.

Everyone seems to go “ooo pretty double plays” but really – the only reason we turn to so many is because we allow baserunners like it’s going out of style.
