    Lewis complains about bunting, have Ells, Gardner and others bunt their butts off make him work. A win by 1 run will be fine, go for the sweep.

    2010 Series with Hughes shitting the bed, Lewis the winner, and skank Jackie Autry talking shit after the series. on how the Yankees were scared of Junkie Josh. Nope, sweep those goat roping, redneck scumbags right out of the series and the NL West Race.

    This proves there's a stat for everything..
    ____________

    So true about "stats"....
    And of course stats are like bikinis, they cover the "good" parts but not quite everything, lol.

    I believe Ted Williams and Arod are the only players in history to hit at least 20 HRs at the ages of 20 and 40.
    Here's an interesting thing which may become a unique "stat".
    No player has ever hit at least 30 HRs at the ages of 20 and 40.
    Arod needs 6 more HRs to become the first player to do it....and to add a cherry, he needs 5 more doubles to also become the first with at least 20 doubles and 30 HRs at the ages of 20 and 40 yrs old.....
    ....,but OF COURSE to be fair...The Great Ted Williams didn't have the benefit of being a DH when he was in his 40s......and to once again be "fair", it's still an impressive accomplishment if Arod can pull it off as we ARE in the 5th decade of having a DH and plenty of players have played out their careers during this period.
    And Arod wasn't a "DH" when he was 20 yrs old.

    I'd settle for 1 run as long as the game ends in a shutout.

    No Teixeira? Still hanging his head in shame for being the only starter to go hitless yesterday?

    He had some shitty ABs as well. Everyone was smashing it and he looked blind up there.

    As soon as he was hit by the pitch, I said................
    "he'll be out a week.........."

    His feet are his achilles heel!.........both at the plate
    and on the bases.
