You should've seen the crew for Saturday night's game. Dude's strike zone was tighter than a virgin's you-know-what.

I'm glad we finally broke through and got a little offense going. It's funny how this came with a patch-work offense (three players started who are normally on the bench).

I had no idea Josh Hamilton was destroying the AL so far. Nobody is talking about him. Kemp seems to be overshadowing him, rightfully so.

Because he will break at some point and miss 40 games.

Hudson insulted the ump about the pitch being called a ball, and the ump yelled back to Hudson saying the pitch was inside. This was on Hudson, not the ump, which was why Fredi didn't go crazy on the ump.

Have a feeling that Samardzija is going to suck it up tonight. Please prove me wrong.

Heard on Twitter Evan Longoria could be out for a while. That's a bummer.

EDIT: Yep, looks like 6-8 weeks. Wow, that's a shame. Love that dude, love watching the Rays tear it up right now.

Fredi didn't go crazy on the ump because he has no balls. He never gets thrown out of games or sticks up for his players.

Hudson just barked after a missed call. Pitchers do it all the time. The umpire was being overly-sensitive and was provoking a confrontation. Eddings shouldn't have removed his mask, walked towards the mound, and started shouting.

Yeah, he barked after the call and then some, haha.

Eddings overreacted a bit though, I'll agree with that.
