The Big Blue Wrecking Crew

First ML start for Fed Ex.

Nice.  I like that lineup.  It's probably a good picture of next year, unfortunately, but the good news is it's minus Uribe, Blake, Thames/Gibbons, and Furcal.

Hi Vin!

I would like us to take a flyer on Ian Stewart to play third.   I have to think that Loney is gone and Rivera will get first base.   Given Ethier's injury concerns, we might be able to keep him. 

Mitchell flashing some leather. 

FedEx, ugh!  I'm thinking we'll be saying Fed Up before long.

Looks like a liner in the box score. 

Great pitch to steal on. 

Sellers! 

They call him Justin Sellers.   1-0, Blue!

That was horrible, Matt.

d'Arnaud working the leather, too. 

At'em ball for Rivera.  

The kids do their jobs and the vets don't....the season in a nutshell. 

Maybe we should sign Doumit.  He's 8-13 against the Blue.

Looks like one of the smaller crowds of this disappointing season.  What's the over/under on actual attendance?  12,400?

He's pretty good when he's healthy.

Eveland looks a little more hittable tonight.

Eveland is HANGING those curve balls.

Well, so much for that.....

The pitcher just hit an opposite-field homer.  That's a bad sign, right?

I think I could've hit that pitch that Wood lined to left. 

WTF, Loney!

This just gets worse and worse. 

Wow.  This is the inning from hell.

Why do I get the feeling this is about to be a 7-1 game?

Best get Ely up, Donny. 

Damn, McCutchen must really be struggling.

I am not a gambling man.  This is a good thing.

This is the game where we all remember that Dana Eveland is Dana Eveland

Indeed.  I wish I would've picked tonight for my ML debut with the Pirates.  

What younger players, Vin?  Ned left them all at Chattanooga. 

Did Mitchell shave his head?

couple weeks ago.

Welke would've tossed Ohlendorf....and Eveland for that pitch. 

Wow - that almost looked like Ohlendorf meant to hit him.

I am incredibly observant.

Eveland is no Ohlendorf.

Dodger hitters didn't help Evaland get any rest.  What was that, 5 pitches?  Sheesh.

Eveland is going to hit the post game spread way early. 

Scenes from 2012 - Gordon to Sellers to ________ (fill in the name there)

What was that, Rivera?

He doesn't play, hard to observe the absent.

Better inning than the last....

Vin is in perfect form, giving us pesonal background on the Bucs' 3B coach...

Loney got him on the shoulder!  Dang.

Denardo, Vin?  :)

d'Arnoud's ears are too big for his lid.

Bored, gonna play in the hot tub. 

Man, that splitter must look like a BP ball until the Dodgers commit to swinging at it.  I hate it when our boys make a bad pitcher look great.
