Did I mention Cody Johnson hit his 30th bomb of the year tonight?

Don’t worry. Our heart of the lineup is up. Can I go 2 for 2 tonight by calling the walk off this next inning. I like Roachy’s chances.

There is the reason why we need a good right handed hitter to balance this lineup. We’ll be seeing all kinds of nasty lefties late in the game , and they eat our leftties up.

I don’t have a good feeling about this inning. I really hope I’m wrong.

Bobby needs to be fired as soon as this game is over for having Diaz (our hottest hitter) bunt.

Wow. Millwood barely understunk Joba tonight. They combined for 16 hits, 12 earnies and eight walks in 9 2/3 IP. And a game that started at 7 p.m. isn’t to the 9th yet.
American League baseball — only slightly shorter in duration than the movie “Reds.”

Win lose of draw tonight–game currently tied after Garret Anderson struck out with bases loaded–give him a nice piece of cheese…
What else does a rat eat?
His failure to score on Roachy’s single in the 9th–his patent lack of hustle–was the singtle most disgraceful effort ever seen in a big-league game.
Show some size, and send that rat away. He would never ever play for me again.

Good thing Cox left Garrett in so he could strike out with the bases loaded. Cox is such a dumb old fool. If he pinch runs for Garrett in the 9th, this game is over. Instead, it’s going to be a painful loss to a pathetic Padres team.

Cox – you suck!

Vinings Jim – you also suck! And you like men.

The Bird and Indian:

Did you see how far past 3B Garrett was when he was held up? You’re telling me a faster guy isn’t at the plate. You’re a moron.

Didn’t Mark Teixeira score from first on the Luis Castillo popup that he dropped? As if this play is that different. Oh yeah, Teixeira is MLBs Usain Bolt, so that must be the answer. Actually the answer is that IF THERE ARE TWO OUTS AND THE RUNNER IS RUNNING AT THE CRACK OF THE BAT, HE CAN INDEED SCORE FROM FIRST ON THAT KIND OF PLAY. IT WASN’T A SIMPLE SINGLE. THE FIELDER DOVE AND HAD TO GET UP AND RETRIEVE THE BALL.

YOU ARE AN IDIOT. SO IS VININGS JIM. TWO MORONS. COX IS A THIRD MORON.

VININGS JIM, BOBBY COX, AND THE BIRD AND INDIAN PERFORM LUCKY PIERRE
