Little did we know that when Joe Torre played the “We are sending you to AAA” April Fools Day joke on young Blake Dewitt,
that jokes would continue to be played during the entire month of April 2010 by management and fans alike.
Padilla is the Opening Day pitcher – haha
Kuroda is just a #4 starter – haha
Heager is just a #5 starter – haha
Kershaw was told that adding another pitch would help him to throw more strikes in 2010 – haha
Weaver (last year’s swing man) is this year’s short man that puts out all of the fires and is averaging less than 2/3rds of an innings per appearance – haha
Monasterios is not the “mop up” man, the starters can’t go 5, but he is not allowed in a game – haha
Russ Ortiz – On paper he has replaced Belisario – haha
Ramon Ortiz – On paper he has replaced Kuo – haha
Sherrill – Ned gave him permission to be the body double for the Pillsbury dough boy – haha
Troncoso – He was promised that he would not be overused during 2010 and is already on pace for 100 innings – haha
Broxton – We all hoped that the obvious Broxton rules communicated by us last year would be received as the Gospel by Torre – haha
Furcal – We were told that his OBP would never go above .350 – haha
Kemp – We were told that he would continue to strike out less each successive year – haha
Ethier – We were told that he could hit left handed pitching – haha
Manny – We were told that he has his patience back and that would lead to more walks – haha
Loney – We were told that when he gained weight in order to hit for power that his average would not suffer – haha
Blake – We were told that he could not hit without a beard – haha
DeWitt – We were told that he spent much of the winter in AZ learning how to play second base – haha
Martin – We were told that he was injured – haha
Ausmus – We were told that he would last another year on the field as a player – haha
Belliard – We were told that HIS weight was a problem – haha
Joe – We were told that he would never chose the tortoise over the hare – haha
Frank – We were told that the team is solvent – haha
Can’t wait for the next joke that comes from management or the fans. What have you guys heard?

That was the Jack Daniel’s view or the JD View. Ha Ha
LOL Glad someone has a sense of humor.
what a stupid article. a bunch of crap mark really.
Kevin,
Don’t shoot the messenger.
I didn’t write it!
Kevin, Kpizzle, Mark’s a Dummy or Anonymous (whatever your name is this week),
Don’t shoot the messenger.
I didn’t write it!
But, you generally don’t like what I write either.
Maybe we should re-visit all of this by the middle of June and see where we are.
I have no problem with what was said, but it’s still too early to know anything – other than Frank is indeed in trouble and our starters don’t look ready to go 7. The rest of that stuff? eh, who knows – maybe maybe not.
Mark, I hope you are getting your pecs in shape for those 500 you are going to owe me. Don’t think I am letting you off the hook.
… what are these push-ups for?
“what are these push-ups for?”
to pay off the bet you are going to lose. And, they are for your benefit – you could use the work. You are getting soft dude, I can see it in your posts.
Hopefully Bills wil give up not more than 1 HR today and not more than 4 hits between Young, Johnson and Reynolds; and only 2 other hits to the rest of the Snakes.
The AZ’s journeyman pitcher Lopez held Pit to 1 run; 1 double; and 2-7 RISP; 1 walk; 5 Ks; on 90 pitches in 6 innings last week. This kind of pitcher can beat an impatient team. Can we please watch the Disciples of Patience & No Choking Dodgers tonight and not their backsliden evil twins?
Badger,
Some say I am vitrolic!
I know it’s a bet, but what was the bet?
Boy that was a good read please write more
Best post ever.
95 wins. I have the under, you have the over.
How soon we forget. Can’t say that I blame you though.
Vitrolic? Don’t know the word. Vitiate? Maybe. Vituprative? Probably at work. Vitriolic? I doubt it. Virgule? Absolutely. Virile. In years past maybe. Viagra? Sure, why not. Take the 25 mg. to start with.
