Game 60, Part II

Corey plays exactly like Dusty wants his players, swing at first pitches, don’t clog the basepaths with walks. I bet Dusty would like 8 more Corey Pattersons to fill his lineup.

As long as Patteron doesn't somehow find a double play

it doesn’t matter. Bruce is due. He’s gone three AB without a hit!

by bengalred on Jun 4, 2008 9:24 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

he'd better be bunting

so Bruce can drive in two
