Good flick

Winning, Brewers fighting in the dugout apparently.

How can such a good looking man be so bad at getting to first base?

I was outside watching the tornado pour over Chicago. Should I get out of my third floor apartment? Why is the local NBC affiliate showing American Gladiators and not the tornado?

Word is

They were walking in the dugout having an “adult discussion” and Parra flung his jacket in the general direction of Fielder. Prince shoved Parra into the bench, then in the face. Fielder was then restrained by four teammates and one C. Montgomery Burns.

Josh Hamilton leads the lead in swing and misses, but hardly ever strikes out.

EdE just cant handle hitting in the 3 hole

its just too much pressure. Dusty should know better.

by Charlie Scrabbles on Aug 4, 2008 9:34 PM EDT   0 recs

I don't know what's more ridiculous

Stating that he can’t handle hitting third after 45 plate appearances spread out over 4 seasons.

Or

Dusty batting him third because he hit the Brewers well in 33 plate appearances this season.

BK posted his numbers yesterday
He’s a .282 hitter in July for his career. .227 and .222 for August and September, respectively.

"I never use a big word when a diminutive one will work." — Pete Mackanin.

by joshuar9476 on Aug 4, 2008 9:42 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Last season he batted .276/.443/.621 in August; 2004: .262/.350/.650

He doesn’t always slump in August.

Bend over and drop your pants, Mr. Babar.

that's encouraging ... i hope he keeps it up this year

"I never use a big word when a diminutive one will work." — Pete Mackanin.

by joshuar9476 on Aug 4, 2008 9:45 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

unfortunately

his current pattern for August does not bode well for a good month this year:
2001: 1.088 OPS
2002: .588 OPS
2003: .588 OPS (just 50 PAs because of injury)
2004: 1.001 OPS
2005: .795 OPS
2006: .700 OPS
2007: 1.064 OPS

So, August 2008 and August 2009 probably won’t be very good. That’s concrete evidence right there.

Of Dunn “slumped” at his locker staring longingly at Kearns’ picture hanging in a heart-shaped “BFF” frame. Made me giggle.

Not right away he didn't

In his first 16 games after Kearns was traded: .404/.528/.649

In the 56 games after that: .176/.307/.346
