Luke Scott
I say Luke’s gonna keep killing the baseball. When he starts hitting like this…he stays that way for a while…especially in the second half of the season.

Just noticed this
Kevin Millar is batting 8th? Not that I think he’s much of a hitter this year but just a few days ago he was in the cleanup spot. That’s funny.

Millar will see more fastballs down in the 8th hole and that’s what Trembley wants to see.

Jesse Litch
looks like he had plenty to eat for lunch today.

And y'know what-- Litsch kinda LOOKS like Sid! I wonder if he's sober...

Liz in control! Meanwhile in NY, Sid gets in trouble in the 1st -- but "squeezes" out, like a "235 pounder".

Please stop falling behind, because you’re going to give up a long homerun.
Also, you’re not a right guard, get a real number.
