    Without doing a thorough comparison, I feel like Chris Taylor is putting up prime Rafael Furcal numbers right now.

    If he's for real, is his long term home at 2B for the Azul?

    Offensively at least, he is putting up better than Furcal prime numbers.

    Feel free to hang that Chris Taylor poster above your bed, he's the real deal.

    I'll be happy if he's decent the rest of the way. He is at the very least dependable. I think it's cuz he's a white boy.

    I'm both excited to see Wood terrorize the Braves, the team that traded him, to make them see what they lost.

    I'm also worried they're gonna shell him because baseball is stupid that way.

    Unfortunate for me I'll be going to the Saturday game. Julio T is 6 - 0 with an ERA of 2.53 away from the new stadium in the Atl. Best thing to hope for is a scratch run and a shut out from Rich Hill.

    Your whites are definitely more dependable.

    The NL East has been kind to us. Thank you Mets & Braves for allowing us to get Justin Turner & Alex Wood.

    Great to see Carroll do his brilliant thing. Changed our culture with his acting skills and interpretation of the script as written.
    Although Italian descent, my father, except for the blue eyes, was a clone of O'Connor. Dead on.
    He knew it, and played Archie's unforgettable lines and physical actions to a tee, and is a source of smiling memories for me.

    could you possibly be any more pessimistic?
    last i checked we had won 11 in a row and won 31 of our last 35 games
    and as a team our guys have slashed .323/.376/.566 against him in 99 ab's (link)
    he's a good pitcher, but he's no less beatable than many of the guys we've beaten the last month
    quit whining and enjoy the ride

    I hope everyone reads this: I am VERY superstitious when it comes to my sports. It's stupid and has NOTHING to do with what happens on the field but in my mind it works alot. So bear with me gentlemen! I am a huge huge huge Dodger fan so don't mistake the negativity for anything but my odd way of helping my teams. Thanks for your attention! :D

    That's okay. I have a couple coals in the mojo-maintenance fire here... they should be able to offset whatever just got tainted over there.
