…..he’s opened up his strike zone and he’s swinging at stuff he never would have a couple months ago. I guess that’s what happens when you know you’re the only real hitter in the line-up.

get that joke Garvey out of our record books.

:)

You don’t ask him if he needs a day or off or two because Aid is the type of player that will never ask or tell his manager to sit him…he needs a manager that will make the decision for him. It’s Buddy’s job to protect the players. There are people out there that actually give a shit about this stupid streak (some probably even in the Padres front office)…when he does get that day off they should be able to point the finger at Bud and not at Aid.

How is this even a decision? The guy is a GREAT hitter and he’s so exhausted, mentally and physically, that he’s almost completely ineffective. I really wish Bud would grow a pair and give the guy a couple of days off. I can’t believe this guy is going to get an extension.

He’s dying out there, at the plate and in the field. All you need to do is watch the game yesterday to see that.

Or cupcake can take a little baby doll nitey nite rest. It’s his choice.

If you give a mouse a cookie…

but no, everybody had to cast meaningless votes for him, votes that sent a clear message “entertain us! perform for us! whatever you do don’t take a day off”
