I liked living in Marin and “just visiting” SF by way of the ferry from Larkspur (yeah, the one that goes right by San Quentin).
My ex and I were walking down in SF one night and came upon this guy in a toga sitting in the lotus position whilst looking directly into the window of a restaurant – there were patrons at a table right on the other side of the glass. On his lap he had a cafeteria-type plastic tray on which sat 3 cooked refrigerator-dough biscuits (think Pillsbury dough boy). Sometimes things downtown were a bit too Zen (or something) for my taste.

I’ve always wondered about that, Mixxo. My dog is on a strict schedule so I know she could make it thru a game of any length, I guess most people who don’t know their dogs schedule probably don’t attend bark in the park.

Bobby needs to keep batting GA and Norton 5 and 6 to insure that Chipper and McCann get very little to hit, and so that the Braves score no runs! WOW!!!!

Tomahawkin…………I hear you. Have you ever watched ‘Real Time with Bill Maher’ on HBO on Friday nights? I’m totally with him on the marriage thing. I tell my gay friends (yes it is possible for straight guys to have gay friends) that they are crazy for wanting the legal right to get married. Being single has it’s advantages. I could never imagine myself being tied down to one female, and only having sex with one person for the next 20-30 years. Yuk, lol.

Tightness in Right Hamstring, yeah. Now, tell me, which ailment would you like to read about being afflicted with in tomorrow’s Pittsburgh papers – a hamstring tightness or explosive diarrhea? Charlie will live to play again. He looked good.
Morgan is killing B’s. Will be at 2B shortly.
Norton is killing Braves, too. Hopefully, he will be down the road shortly.
JF did make good contact a few minutes ago. Not every CF would have caught that ball.

Good article DOB. It IS very interesting how he uses Gonzo and Soriano. They just need to get Moylan worked out.
I still say this team can’t get into the playoffs unless one of two things happens.
1-KJ or Francouer starts hitting, and even Garret. You can’t have three guys in the lineup giving NOTHING.
2-Get a big bat to hit HRs. You can’t win without a few more HRs. You can’t count on 3 hits an inning. Milwaukee has a low batting average but lead the league (or are 2nd) in runs scored.

DOB or anyone-
A question please. If the Nats could not sign Strasburg, my understanding is that they will draft #2 next year. So, if they keep stinking this year and get the worse record, would they draft #1 and #2 next years?

Not sure what Norton did, but it didn’t matter, McLouth hesitated in CF and had no chance throwing the runner out.

1-4 hitters have to carry the load yet again and Medlen is gonna have to pick up JJ. Lets just hope figures it out, his last few starts have been sub-par to say the least.

I wont be surprised if JJ goes on the DL with shoulder fatigue or something.I hope not but
His last 3 outings have been uncharacteristic of him. I am not sure of velocity but control is usually quite strong.

“JJ not on tonight, he’s laboring so far.”
Perhaps he’s tired after catching a “red-eye” flight to and from SF last night to sift through the ladies?
On a side note. With JJJ having a tough go of it, it almost assures us of a Bennett sighting later in the game. Can’t wait.
MFin04

Yeh not sure what McLouth was doing there, should have come up throwing. Anyone else notice that this offense sucks? No way we score runs with our 5-8 hitters, they all suck equally!
