Our offense just left the game. Ervin needs to pitch a shutout

[kolotoure]

OMFG. Is this team trying to lose every game?

[zer0]

at least shields and k-rod are getting some mop up duty in. don't want them getting rusty.

[Dominic]

this is ridiculous. The Angles looked like a double AA team compared to the Red Sox. Hopefully when our pitchers get healthy we'll be more competitive but Jesus, they can't hit for us as well.

[kolotoure]

The problem is Mike is teh suck at picking the lineup. Kendrick should be batting 2nd and Kotchman shouldn't be batting behind Hillenbrand

[kyro]

Don't worry about it guys. Next time you play Seattle and go up against Jeff Weaver, all will be well. It cured the Sox.

[kolotoure]

If we don't pound Weaver I will be so pissed

[kolotoure]

Will we even finish above .500?

Mickey Hatcher is probably one of the worst hitting coaches of all time. We have a bunch of singles hitters. We need guys to walk, get on base, maybe attempt a steal now and then, then get knocked in by another single.

Stringing together 3 singles in an inning can be hard at times. But being somewhat patient and making a pitcher work, maybe give up a walk, then getting a hit is a much better idea. The guy is a [censored] tool and it is driving me insane. If we had a bunch of Nomar's then maybe his hack hack hack wouldn't be so gross, but this just sucks. He probably hates Willits who is a guy that will actually try to walk to complement his meager power.

Howie Kendrick out up to 6 weeks with his broken finger. No cast needed. I hope he doesn't rush himself back too soon.

A roster move will be made to take his spot, apparently Brandon Wood may get the call up which would allow Izturis to move over to 2nd. We shall see.

If we score more then 1 run in a game without vlad and kendrick I will eat my hat
