    3 lefties in a row again

    I think it's dumb, but I guess there aren't many options. Hopefully when victorino is back on friday the 3 consec lefties comes to an end. though against the mets and nats bullpen, it doesn't matter

    I do too. It's a real problem late in the game. I guess it won't matter until they start losing games in bunches to lefties.

    One of the most overrated issues with this team. I'll take a predominantly lefty heavy lineup any day of the week. The only problem is Howard specifically. And there's no reason to overblow it. They're like 15-2 against lefty starters or something this season. And when 70% of pitchers are righties, I'll take a lefty lineup any day of the week. Over the course of the season it's more beneficial than not. Now, if you're talking playoffs, that's another story.

    Oh, and happy Memorial Day, knuckleheads.

    EDIT: Wow. Two "any day of the week" cliches within the same paragraph. F- on my behalf.

    PJ20 will be a good time. Even if the shows aren't all that insane, it will be a great weekend. Lake house, drinking and pearl jam on Labor Day weekend is pretty fantastic.

    And I don't think I mentioned anything, good luck with everything Jammin, hope all goes well.

    yeah man, this trip is gonna be great. all the dummies bitching about cost didn't do their homework. all things considered this trip will cost me half of what I originally expected it to.

    I would have preferred a major city (ie, not milwaukee), but it will be a good time

    It's gonna be a great time and not close to as expensive as I originally thought. I would have prefered a major city as well, Chicago would have been awesome, but people would have been bitching about the price even more if it were there. I would spend 10x the amount of money in Chicago than I will in East Troy/Lake Delavan, Wisconsin or where ever the hell we are going. Either way, I can't fucking wait. Just don't want it to get here too fast since that means the summer will be over.

    like goatboy said though, the reliance on lefties makes them vulnerable late in games. especially in the playoffs when teams have decent LOOGYS (Jose Lopez anyone? or damaso marte?).

    Hopefully this will be the biggest issue during the year. I'm sure there will be a jeff conine type available over the next few months (I'd love willingham or beltran)

    you guys realize shane victorino, a switch hitter, will be back friday right?

    you also remember how most people assume we'll be in the market for a right handed stick by the end of july?

    Yeah, like I said, to me it's a good problem. Playoffs are another animal, and I'll worry about it when/if we get there. And I don't see no way that they don't upgrade their outfield position/bullpen. Is DeRosa still hurt or something? I wouldn't mind someone like him. I'm just thinking because you need a corner outfield guy and someone who can play third - at least third too.

    And it looks like this guy is going to make a run to Best Buy now and pick up Ukulele Songs, Water In The Road Blu Ray, and Circuital.

    Anyone get their fair share of these yet?

    I have listened to Uke songs quite a bit over the last couple weeks and kind of dig it. I don't think it's really on the same level as Into The Wild, but he is pretty awesome vocally on it.

    I have to get the DVD over the next day or so. I really want to see that.

    I never really had a problem with this. In fact, everything I've ever gotten has come early. Just didn't have the funds to do it at the time. And I'd probably end up buying the songbook as well that way.

    Yeah, I listened to Uke Songs on the NPR stream and I like it, but most of what I already like are on the solo boots I've had for nearly ten years. Can't believe that most of those songs have been out nearly a decade now.

    gonna be tough though. phils are right up against the luxury tax. I've been wrong about their payroll before, but I don't see them going over the luxury tax threshold.

    Yeah, I was just trying to think of a name of that ilk. Or how bout Wilson Betemit or Cuddyer? I wouldn't mind those, even though I think Betemit is a bit of an aberration.

    I'm not a big fan of either of them. I've always considered cuddyer to be overrated...and he's always knicked up.

    There's plenty of time for them to figure something out. RAJ will make something happen
