Why be content with Maybin developing into Jose Reyes?Let's hope he develops into Rickey Henderson.Then we can have him in an outfield with the next Willie Mays.

He's allowed an extraordinary amount of passed balls and wild pitches and a a 280 average isn't good enough when you only take 8 walks. As for Inge, I'd agree with you that he was a pretty valuable player in 2004-2006 and even up until the end of June this year. But since then his bat has been so bad no amount of defense or grit can make up for it. (if grit could make up for anything in the first place). The bulk of the criticism leveled at both of those players is highly warranted this year.

Verlander did a superb job of making the hitters play and the result was an excellent performance, overall a beautifully played game 3. how do we get out Grandy fan club stuff 2. Pudge is #1 catcher and Rabello is our #2 we don't need to be calling up no catchers we got that covered Pudge is hall of fame grade of player. ain't NOBODY that tough behind the plate. He handles stuff that lets us all see how a big-league catcher plays ball. Like Inges does too. And 280 is plenty good in the hitting dept. He also recently joint the select company of hitters with 500 career doubles people pick'n on Pudge and Inge just don't know baseball. 1. a closer / relief man comming outta the bullpen don’t need to walk nobody.

This is how they should have played all season. This is what was expected of this team. When they win, you smile and go about your business. When they lose, you go to Bilfers complaint dept. It's better than kicking the dog or yelling at the kids. You get more comments when they lose because it’s not expected. This is how they should have played all season.
