I can't tell from my seats, is Burnett missing as badly as it seems?

Greg - you were right on the money about Granderson!

Mario said...

AJ's new nickname should be jeykl & hyde, depeding on who shows up, inconsistent joke

Mario said...

he must have caught JOBA"s disease, too many pitches, walks, hits allowed, wild pitches, hit batsmen, pathetic....

Mario said...

Scott_in_Sacramento said...
