Kind of what I was afraid of. I loved Burton a couple years ago, but he slipped last year. I think he will lose his 8th inning role this year. My dream would be that Tonkin could step up and take it, but I wouldn't mind Sammy in that role either...they need to get him involved.

Boy Kurt looks comfortable at the plate just taking what the pitcher gives him. Bringing in the lefty to face Hicks?

Fien got his left ankle hit on a comebacker. Hope he's not out for any significant time. I really like him as a 7-8th inning guy. Burton just throws meatballs from time to time. I just wanna see Perkins slam the door today :D.

As for Deduno, keep that arm fresh. We're gonna need him to replace Pelfrey lol.

I see what you did there ;) lol

Aaron hicks reminds me of Torii Hunter so much, both really struggled when they first got here but both played amazing defense. Second year drastic change in there approach towards there ABs.

Very good call...I hope you're right.

Plouffe you gotta be fucking kidding me.

Extra innings. Yay... :mad:

Plouffe can't make a routine throw home? How the hell do you mess that up?

Wonderful. Another runner stranded in scoring position. This time in the 10th. Kubel and Plouffe go down.

We deserve to lose this game.
