June 5, 200818 yr Let's just move on to Florida please. :irked: You don't like their chances today?? :lol: Wonder if Dusty will leave Homer in there to give up 10-12 runs if it gets that bad. Why burn out the bullpen before another long series in Florida.
June 5, 200818 yr Author Couldn't wait to get Patterson back in the lineup, could he? :lol: If he's in there today against Hamels then I may have to take matters into my own hands. :sssh:

June 5, 200818 yr From Fay... --It's a day off for Adam Dunn. "I can see him winding down little bit," Dusty Baker said. "I remember Ted Williams saying after you're extremely hot for a long period of time -- like Dunn was for the month of May -- you'll have a down period because you get physically worn out from running the bases. . . Plus, he's 1-for-8 with five punchouts against Hamels. It's a perfect time. Getting Junior back, both of them aren't out at the same time." --Herrera will be back. "We didn't want to send him out," Baker said. "It was numbers. We didn't call him up for an experiment. They told us he could get people out and he was fearless."

I doubt you're a betting man, but would you lay the 225 and take it to the bank?
June 5, 200818 yr I doubt you're a betting man, but would you lay the 225 and take it to the bank? I can't imagine this going well for Homer. I really hope he surprises the heck out of me, but......

That's the first time I have heard of anyone getting tired from running the bases.
June 5, 200818 yr That's the first time I have heard of anyone getting tired from running the bases. And I don't know what Dunn does around the bases would quilify as "Run"?
