His OBP is poor, and his arm is ridiculous. He must need to hit a cutoff man when he plays fetch with his dog.

Came up in a big spot last night, and rolled to 1st(like the skinny black woman choke he has always been for us.) Don't care if the stick figure gets here at 10 in the morning. A choke is a choke. O DOG is a black man. Juana be a black woman. Far as I'm concerned, O DOG should fk her until we atleast have an angry woman at the plate.

But, I'm looking foward to the daily Mannyless Dodger posts.

By the way where's your Tex is a bust post today, I think he was 0 for 5 last night?

I'll be honest. This is a bad group of middle relievers that Torre has been doing his best to deal with. Reminds me of a guy trying to get a a half-dead Rooster to fight longer than the other dieing bird. The only exception is Belasario. He has talent, but is not seasoned enough to be totally reliable. Most of the others are just ****. In the post, they gunna get tee'd up big time. Manny was a psychological advantage for these guys. Like a security blanket. When you take him away, and add in a pinching plate umpire, then you see what you saw last night. When you've got a very average reliever(Wade) getting pinched out of a 2nd out of an inning, it can lead to a lot of bad stuff. Funny thing was he pinched Beimel really badly ( on a what should of been an inning-ending strike out to get the Nationals off the hook (in the bottom 8th.) Then, Juana cam up, and missy lay down like the woman she be. There's a reason there were 20 runs scored. That umpire is a fkn fool. I swear that (what should of been 3rd strike) to Loretta was like barely as high as his lower ribs. That can't be called hi.

Im not a big Girardi guy either, but really what kind of managing should he have to do with that team.
Pitching is the #1 issue. The entire staff has been very eratic (maybe with the exception of Burnett). And the bullpen has been downright horrendous at times. If they could get that straight, they should be alright.

Get Sabathia dealing, and the others will get brave. Don't know about the closer though. That was ugly. Could be a third more follicly challenged by game time tonite.

He does this ever other year. He gets a tired arm, then they shut him down for 2-3 weeks and then he comes back as good as new. But he is no youngster anymore plus they don't even have a closer in training. Obviously Joba is the most logical, I think he should be in the pen, but they are hellbent on keeping him as a starter. The next most logical guy is Brunney, but he is always hurt too. Things are so bad that they will probably bring in Gagne (he is available, right?) for a tryout next week if Mo ends up on the DL. But you would think that if they keep scoring runs like they are, that the pitching will eventually stablize itself.

I heard on the radio today masking agents were part of the problem, you can only detect what is detectable...and Manny tested positive for a masking agent.

Well, all I know is that he tested with a high testosterone level. That's it. So, they went fishing for "why dat?" They found his Physician gave him something with this HCG. That's a legal drug to give men in this country, but it's not allowed in baseball. If a guy has low testosterone, or low sperm count, then sometimes they are prescribed it (sort of doubt that's typical practice, but.... )What it mainly is really used for is to turn a guys balls back on, cuz steroids turn them off. So, they're saying Manny probably did the roids. Then stopped the roids, and got the HCG to get his balls to make testosterone again. Doc gave him too much HCG. He didn't fight this much. I'm guessing they had more about what he did earlier in the winter. 7mil lost, and no HALL for the individual.

I didn't really understand any of this, but if this is SCUDS for "Juan Pierre sucks," then I agree.

That's not something I see as justifying an admission fee. We(myself and the people in charge of the track) have a legit disagreement about that. They have a free day each week, but the cards have been crap(or it's too f'n hot.) It's a place, but I don't consider it much of a destination.

It was a female fertility drug dude. There is no reason for that to ever be in a males system unless he's masking.

Masking means you have something in your blood urine etc. that is interferring with a lab test for a specific chemical. If he had steroids in him(at the time he gave urine etc.,) then HCG wouldn't mask that.

He was cycling off of Testosterone for whatever reason.

Or maybe Manny was not ovulating.
This alternative explaination would
be worrisome for all involved.

I wonder how wide spread 'masking' is in horseracing?

Obcourse the roll eyes icon speaks volumes again...
