Oh! Afternoon game
Still you are not televised
Didn't want to watch
Padres look to put their Interleague consecutive game losing streak out of reach from future generations of baseball teams.

Please help
I can’t watch Kouzmanoff hit anymore. It makes me physically ill. Mind you, I love my Pads and catch practically every game but watching Kouzmanoff —well, I can’t take it anymore.
replace kouzmanoff
with Giles and were practically the same person

Giles and Kouz
Both will be gone soon, yes. But at least Giles works the count a bit. Vegas odds say that Kouz will not even draw 20 walks this year. Last year he drew 18 walks. Pitiful…simply pitiful
Plus Giles
is 38 years old and nearing the end of his career.
Meanwhile Kouz only looks that way
Seriously
Kouz has been on the steady decline of someone nearing his 40s. If you showed be his numbers for the last 3 years and said they were for a guy ages 36-38, I’d totally believe you.

When they can use one with a 6.30 ERA instead.

Why is LROD cranking up and swing for the downs seemingly every at bat ?
During the 0-18 slide since his return, Luis Rodriguez has been swinging like he is a 30 homerun guy. In fact, in his last 10 at bats, LRod has hit 7 of the outs to the outfield in the form of lazy fly balls
he knows that Cabrera is likely to be taking his spot
starting tomorrow

Have you met the new Kouz?
He goes 1-4 with a HR now.

but only solo hr
and Ks whenever theres a runner on
or maybe he does that every other day?
Neither of us were right anyway. He was kind enough this time to let someone else bat this inning while still being unproductive.

Kouz missing the part..
of his brain (frontal lobe) due to a hunting accident in 1995 which tells him to lay off a slider in the dirt or one a foot off the plate.
is that the same part Greene was missing??

Venable in LF
Who is mistaking Headley for Giles?

Uncommon Sportsman :: Absurdity in play
That made me curious
As to how Giles is doing in the field. So went to my handy fangraphs.com and checked out his UZR…he’s awful. The slump has followed him there. Last year he battled RF to a bloody draw and didn’t hurt the team out there. This year he is far worse. I’m pretty sure Headley could play RF just as well as Giles has and you would then have a spot for Blanks (although you still have Hairston and Gwynn to wade though to figure out playing time for) in LF. But, for some reason they are more willing to play converted infielder Edgar Gonzalez in RF than converted infielder Chase Headley in RF. It doesn’t make a lot of sense.

A little late
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

Kouz's winning base hit is testimony to his "new" approach
Of course, I write this with tongue firmly in cheek. Great job by the bullpen. I am pretty impressed by the work of Greg Burke. He looks like he belongs at the mlb level.
