I want to see wakefield throw a no hitter

Here comes the massacre...

Good to see Reggie Sanders back. Let's hope he hasn't lost it. Or at the very least, let's hope he can make routine fly ball outs in left. :banghead:


Got a question - what's our win/loss when John Buck is the starting catcher as opposed to Jason LaRue?

Nunez is gonna own tonight.

Hope reggie puts up some #'s so he can be traded for tickets to transformers

I'd like to see sanders in right, teahan at third and gordon playing first

That way we could have brown playing left, and even though he's been struggling I think he's a better bat than gload or shealy

Teahan has been a turd at the plate lately.

But he's been pretty damn good in RF

Teahan with the base hit

Especially after running all the way out to right field, and doubling up Lowell in the 2nd
