So our bench tonight consists of Butera?

[lewdog]

Altuve is my favorite player that doesn't play for the Royals. Always a pleasure to watch him play.

Yes. Dyson does belong in the big leagues as a 4th OF. Paulo just got lucky the first few weeks with all those triples. He's went back to his usual 4A self after that triples streak.

He's not on the active roster. We'd need to DL someone to get him up. As it sits now, we're rolling with the injuries hoping they'll heal quickly. I think need to seriously decide whether to DL one of them. If only to get another bench body.

It's gonna be! It's gonna be! The best day ever! GO **** YOURSELF WITH THAT COMMERCIAL ALREADY, worst song I've ever heard, hope the guy who recorded it dies in a gas fire

[C3HIEF3S]

But the real question is:

Where will you be?

[stonedstooge]

I'M BACK with a new 46" flat screen tv. First flat screen I've owned. Took over 2 weeks to get it shipped

[AndChiefs]

And I can't watch the game on mlb.tv because it's local. At least I'll be at Wednesday's
