Expecting a huge game for the Pe(t)(d)er sons tonight.

Markakis is going to start swinging for the fences and go into a slump now. Hope we can capitalize on his power surge and flip him for a couple top prospects before that happens.

I sense a recurring theme that will quickly pe(t)(d)er out.

Expecting a huge game from CJ. Got to build that trade value and stick it to the FO.

Johnson. The lesser of two peters.

Expecting a huge game from the Andreltonian.

CJ for Callapso mid game?

More Markakis power!

Simmons is just not a good hitter right now. How do you swing when he has been so erratic?

Lordy. Wood needs to pitch for another team.

So when did Justin Turner become such a stud?

Probably a few months after he discovered PEDs.

Um, memo to the rest of MLB. Chris Johnson is a lefty-mashing RBI machine.

Why wasn't there a triple pool for Markakis?

For the same reason there wasn't a home run pool for Rafael Belliard?

Kind of a bummer Anderson got hurt. Fredi's got the RH lineup in there.

What happened to Anderson?

Because its true. You can't understate the impact of not being able to take care your body and build on your strength. Nick couldn't do anything because of the surgery. I think he is going to be a really good offensive player next year. Basically similar numbers all around with more power.
