Personally
I’m indifferent. We got a lot for him, but he was also a cry baby. Meh.

Seriously we'd be better off having pitchers hit for themselves and DH for him.
He has no prayer of doing anything at the plate.

was anything more predictable this season...
than that at bat by Bynum? Not to be negative or anything, but I already knew that, with two runners in scoring postion, he’d make a weak out to end the inning.
Really sad to have automatic outs in the lineup.

Of course not, because he's a fucking attrocious hitter.
I’ve never seen a major leaguer load up, get his hands back nicely, time the pitch well, and then make such pathetic contact so consistently. It’s embarrassing for the organization.

we should have signed Adam Everett
His bat sucks too but at least he has mad fielding skills.

And no way he doesn't suck as bad as Bynum at hitting.
I still don’t get why we don’t just play Cintron – he’s not a bad fielder and twice as good of a hitter.

‘Cause he wasn’t rubbin’ balls with Dave in the spring or last season, impressing with his hustle and tryhard.

Don't you think "hustle and tryhard" just means not a good play but runs out to his position hard??

I have to watch the game on my TV.......
MLB.TV blacked out the game because Houston is close to New Orleans. So I’ll be posting in between innings because my TV and computer aren’t right next to each other .

Why do they act like Bynum is a base stealer?
Isn’t he like 2-5 in SB attempts??? He’s obviously just as bad at that as he is at hitting.
by O'sFan21 on Jun 17, 2008 8:16 PM EDT 0 recs
yeah (i usually say 2-3 as I do SB - CS), but still
that steal was frickin awesome

I'm loving this draft pick Xavier Avery
He talks the way people should. :)

Kid is just 18
I’m guessing he’s coming to Delmarva. Can’t wait. Although someone might want to mention to him Adam Jones probably had CF locked down for the foreseeable future.
