Really hope he doesn't get shelled. Being out there on the mound as long as possible will probably be good for him.

There are 5 starting pitchers....plus relievers. It makes zero sense. It might be true that steroids help hitters more than pitchers, but "they only play every 5th day" is a silly thing to say.

all other things being equal, if they stop testing for roids again and that happens, then yes, I think that could be a reasonable conclusion.

are you trying to insinuate that there's another reason offense spiked so much and then came back down once they started testing other than roids?

Now that injuries have forced Bochy to play Belt more than twice a week, he sits right below Panda and right above Posey with 125 wRC+.

Papelbon said he told Thome in the on-deck circle that he would give him $5,000 if he hit a homer. Papelbon said he wrote the check in the clubhouse. Thome, however, told the Philadelphia Inquirer that he hadn't received any payment.

stiff IMO

At least we're only 19 hours away from watching the greatest pitcher of all time take the mound again

Karak is my sworn enemy. You're Georgetown fan, I'm a Cuse fan. You're a Yankees fan, I'm a Mets fan. You're also a Giants fan and I hate the Giants.

Our pitching staff is average at best. Not to mention it has been plagued with injuries all season.
