Where's Lotz? Uggla is like 9/9 tonight and up to .205.

Probably got a Timmy K boner.

I wonder if a player has ever had a 20 game hit streak, yet been at the Mendoza line this late in the year before?

I'd say Tony Gwynn or maybe Rod Carew.

Helton, Ichiro, Mantle, Mays??? Those guys flirted with .200 for a good portion of their careers as well.

Gwynn could hit .300 right now....all singles or HR. He's what 52?

My bad...he's only 51. Guaranteed rake. Most on here remember the end of his career....the guy once stole 56 bases and won many gold gloves (7?)

Anyone see Rickie Weeks lunging for first tonight? I didn't know ankles were supposed to bend like that.

Howard just misses hitting for Cycle. Had a triple but misread the deflection and stopped at 2nd.

I don't know? Maybe you're right. Just letting everybody know. ESPNews was acting like it just went through.

Of course. ESPN sucks. Ive given up on them breaking anything. I think they have guys who just sit on Twitter and then break the news from there lol.

I wasnt trying to be a dick. I was just confused why you were posting it now and not 2 hrs ago. Thought it might have been a different trade than originally said.
