With that IBB...
Unless this game keeps going, Fielder is as close to .300 as he could get and not get there.

239 for 798 would be closer
But that’s not realistic.

If he had hit a third HR there it would have been pretty awesome
Sole RBI lead, tied HR lead, .300 on the year in one swing

I hope they tie it up again
And this thing goes another 3 innings so Prince gets another AB.

Nah, its not
The St Louis announcers just said it had nothing to do with Prince being near .300 and I believe that they’re certain to know…

I'd be surprised if they knew how close Fielder was to .300

Well, .299 on the scoreboard probably was a clue
I don’t think it played into IBB’ing him though.

Kendall should warn him first too.
Just so we get to see the look of disbelief on Pujols face.

The thing I don't get about Pujols
Is how many times you hear the story of how great he was for not ditching his then-girlfriend (now wife) when he found out she had a son with Down Syndrome (I think). Sorry, but it doesn’t show that he’s particularly great, it just shows that he’s not a complete asshole…

Me and Witrado love the Dodgers! LOL!
At least for a week.
by Ted Simmons Speed Camp on Oct 4, 2009 5:10 PM CDT up reply actions 1 recs
Given what Witrado said earlier in the season
about it being a good thing that he supported the Dodgers and not the Brewers as it meant he wouldn’t be biased in favour of the Brewers, I take it that means he’d turn down a job reporting for the Dodgers if it was offered to him as it would conflict with his journalistic integrity??

I'm not sure which part of that statement is more disturbing...
Calling Witrado a journalist, or saying he has integrity.

I don't think he's much of either.
He is, however, willing to co-opt the eyewitness stories of others as things he’s experienced.
Maybe he’s Mr. Petermann from Seinfeld?
