Bases juiced for the guy with the new contract.

6 infielders

Omar is in!

Someone else played 6 infielders against us last year, right?

It worked.

to the 13th

CRAP!!!!!!!

As wild as that pitcher was lookin I sure would have liked to see Cabrera look at a few pitches.

I can't believe Asdrubal offered at the first pitch following a four pitch walk to Brantley.

Omar Vizquel now has an official career appearance as a left fielder.

It looks like he played right field under some circumstance for us in 1999.

Rescind ACab's contract!

NONE of this would have happened if C Perez had done his job!

I just realized that Omar Vizquel made the "Four Decade" club last year.

He appeared in MLB in 80's, 90's, 00's and 10's.

That's a rare club.

Tim MCarver, Jim Kaat, Nolan Ryan, off the top of my head. Only Ryan had multiple seasons in each of four decades.

Why didn't Manny or Sandy tell him that?

Our debut pitcher gets 'em one, two three and we move to some higher number of inning.....

OK, bottom of the 14th.

We've seen this before:

Kotchman, Kipnis and Hannahan scheduled to bat for us

This game has gone longer than the S.S. Minnow's scheduled cruise time.

This is getting really boring...

Looking at the box score, Santana is batting .000 with an OBP of .500

Three walks thus far on the day.
