I love the look on Tanakas face after he gave up that home run. It was a " I'm gonna murder your entire family " look. Encouraging.

I'm really concerned about Starlin Castro. I really need a 3 hit performance today at the least.

The fucking Padres are driving me nuts. They haven't hit all year, but their pitching has been decent. Them, they clobber the ball against the Indians. but play shit defense and Tyson Ross seems to be a fluke to two starts into the season.

On the plus side, Yasmani Grandal is not only back super early from his season ending knee injury from last year, he's been raking since getting in the lineup. 4-5 tonight with a double. His timing looks really locked in and his swing looks smooth.

Now Headley and Alonso need to wake the fuck up, and somebody not named Andrew Cashner needs to get deeper in the game. The bullpen is getting over worked 2 weeks in the season.

Castro is heating up. Rizzo is raking, Bonifacio is from another planet right now. It really should start translating to some wins right now. Cubbie just keep getting snipped by 1 run against the Pirates. They really could easily be 5-2 right now, but the Bucs have our number.

So about a dozen games in and replay being used atleast once a day, is it working? I know they blew it big time in the Yanks/Red Sox yesterday. And I see John Farrell got tossed today over a replay ruling.

Just wanna hear what the rest of the TPWW village thinks.

Was really stupid considering the scrutiny from the previous game.

Think Farrell said it wasn't until around the 6th inning last time that he was sure Pineda was using tar. Didn't bother today and went right for the request once Pineda started to suddenly look good again.

Yeah. I will never understand why teams boo ex players who took the money and ran. Here in San Diego, Adrian Gonzalez gets boo'ed every time he plays here, which is baffling, considering he was TRADED away, and didn't chase dollars upon hitting free agency.

Fans are dumb sometimes.

He probably gets booed just because he became a Dodger not that he left just that he's a Dodger now.

SlickyTrickyDamon 04-30-2014 01:19 PM

Also I remember hearing reports after he left Boston that he was kind of a dick.
