Time for Morgan Ensberg's thoughts from the bench....

"Alllll I can sayyyyy is that my life is pretty plainnnn... I like watchin the puddles gather rainnnnnnnn..."

Pretty terrible he wasnt tentatively in this lineup with Robertson starting.

YES! The daily inner thoughts of Morgan Ensberg.

Yea, though, I understand wanting to get Gonzalez in the lineup. The whole lineup today had me completely confused - Melky is left with Damon in center, Jeter batting cleanup. Very very strange lineup.

Well the lineup you have in your post had melky in center and damon in left, so did yahoo sports' lineup.

I love Gonzalez too, but he already has been playing everyday in Scranton, Morgan needs to pound on these lefties... but man, to see gonzalez damon and melky in a row with abreu and jeter and his team leading RISP avg. wouldve been great.

Plus Detroit is 0-5 on Sundays this year.

PLUS anyday you see the Big G with a Pink bat is a good day.

Don't worry Greg, yesterday I put a box of cereal in the fridge by accident, and when I went to the pantry to get it this morning it wasn't there. It took me 20 minutes to figure out where I had put it. So we all have our days.

Damn, hangovers are never fun, hangovers with no sleep really suck.
