Baseball Thread 5 - #5 George Brett Has a Story to Tell

What did Theriot do to piss you off this time? Looks like he's having a good offensive day (2-for-3, 1 walk, 2 steals) so far.

 

Fuck this fucking team.

 

Relax, Zeke. Be glad you're not a Mets fans

 

The fact he's a shitty defensive shortstop.

 

Yeah, and fuck them too, while I'm at it.

 

Johan says hi!

 

Lord is Justin Morneau ever locked in right now. Since Monday, Morneau is hitting .455 with three homers, eight RBI and five runs. He also has a .571 OBP and 1.364 SLG%.

Hopefully this means he's turning around his trend of having a slow second half of the season.

 

He can really help out his team by picking up 13 more RBIs in his next at-bat.

 

Milledge isn't coming up yet. Maybe in another week or so. The Pirates called up Steve Pearce to finally get some at-bats. Pearce will share time with Jones at first, with both of those guys an option to go into the outfield on a day when Delwyn Young or Brandon Moss doesn't play.

The likely lineup will be Jones at first, Young in right, and Moss in left with Pearce filling in 4 times per week at one of those positions.

 

Oh, and Matt Holliday is on fire right now, too. Someone PLEASE get this guy out of Oakland and onto a contending team.

He's hitting .583 this week.

 

I can't find a link, but reports are coming out that the Red Sox have traded Julio Lugo to the Cardinals for OF/1B Chris Duncan.

Red Sox Nation can now rejoice.

 

WHAT!
