Sucks that we have to put out such a weak lineup with our first opportunity for DH. This would look much more potent:
Heyward
BJ
Freeman
JUP
Gattis
Doumit
Johnson
Simmons
TLS
LaStella called up to the Atlanta

But La Stella and Laird. I imagine Laird will be a key mentor for La Stella. Probably take him out for dinner tonight. La Stella will get to watch a master at work.

Is there a Fogo De Chao is Boston?!? Call the manager!

Yeah, what's up with that? He's a scrappy, heady player who plays the game the right way and can handle the bat. AND he plays 2B. Why isn't he second?
If you rearrange the letters in Gerald's last name....take out one and add a couple....you get "leader". Coincidence?

Grit level hasn't been determined yet. D backs are monitoring his progress closely hear.

Because BJ has been thriving in the 2nd spot, and 7th is less pressure on the kid, I have no qualms with where he's hitting.

Maybe we can flip him for Goldschmidt when Peraza's ready.

La Stella doesn't have a twitter account. That tells me right away he is a gritty player who doesn't tolerate any distractions in his life. He is a baseball rat. I imagine Towers has been trying to trade for him.

So La Stella will wear No. 7. For the numerologists out there, few have worn the number with disctinction in Atlanta. Here is the roll call:
Reed Johnson
J.C. Boscan
Brooks Conrad
Jeff Francoeur(!)
J.D. Drew
Keith Lockhart
Kenny Lofton
Brad Komminsk(!)
Best to wear 7?
MVP Jeff Burroughs (1977-80)
I'm just glad they've retired the locker of death. Guy's got enough pressure.

I always assume that every post on this board is made in sarcasm. Makes it fun to read....

Actually, Laird is Scottish for "lord" as in "lord of the manor."
nsacpi, I hope you just missed inserting a sarcasm emoticon in your post about La Stella not having a Twitter account. Who the f*ck cares?

In all seriousness, I am pretty excited about this. If he performs well, he's exactly what this team needs at this time.
He wouldn't be a great option on every team and in every situation, but he is here and now.

What the f*ck do you think? He went on to say the D'Backs were watching him closely.
Riotous, I tell you.

defective keyboard...what can I say...in general though very few of my posts about Laird are anything but sincere and earnest...but this one was about La Stella so maybe an emoticon would have been appropriate...I will defer to the collective judgment of the board...apologies for all the .... but it is the keyboard....

Should there an emoticon that is shorthand for "in all seriousness"

I guess I'm optimistic, but not around the bend. Sorry if I overreacted.

Perhaps. Then we wouldn't need a sarcasm font.
