Isn't it great...

how the goal of a switch-hitter is to give yourself a match-up advantage and it does exactly the opposite for Cesar? What the hell is the point?

we really cannot afford to lose this one guys

Harden is pitching a 2 hit-shutout.

Does that work the same way as the no-hitter/perfect game?

I hope so.

larry is notorious for 'jinxing' the team, if you believe in it

he said we couldn’t afford in 2007 to lose Carpenter or Pujols, both get injured.
he often proclaims the offense on a roll, it gets shut down.
he says that the rotation has been great, they get shelled.
