Ol' Doublepump was so happy to be back he didn't want to leave the field, so he threw away an easy final out and kept the game going for another 10 minutes. Gotta stick with a guy who has that kind of love for the game.

BALLFOUR..there comes a time when a person has to admit he's wrong...My time has come...Valencia looked so lost in his first at bat it was shocking....he is a broken player and I don't think it can be fixed...I hope I'm wrong because I truly felt he had potential to be a solid player. He did put a good stroke on his rbi double, then follows it up by backing up on the grounder... and the throw...well, I really don't know where he was throwing it.. So...Until he proves me otherwise, I will have to succumb to your critiques and sit quietly in the background. I will say this, I hope he proves us wrong! I still like the kid!!

Can they trade him for a bag of balls and a bucket of bubblegum?

I think it's the fact that a certain red faced sunflower eater is watching him like a hawk to pounce on any little mistake. You'd be nervous, too. He'd do very well with a new team.
