You know what's better than a win yesterday?
Another one today. C’mon Maddog, this one has eluded you too long.
The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world.
Okay guys
Let’s play the rookie mash
I watched all 23 innings and all I got was this lousy signature.
Do I have to do everything around here?

Treanor is no speed demon.
And from the replay it looked like he had just passed Iguchi when it hit his glove. No idea what he was doing there. Adrian would have went to second…no doubt. We’re 9.5 games out…we need to be agressive. Hopefully his translator is getting an ass-chewing right about now.

Can’t read the lips well enough. Definitely something about the ball in the dirt. Mark thinks its a balk cuz his hands move before he stepped off the rubber.

What's weird
Is that the umpire walked back to the dugout yelling at Buddy, basically baiting him into coming out, and then when Buddy leaves the dugout he tells him “Go back in the dugout”. Apparently he just wanted to yell at Buddy from a distance.
