http://thisisgettingold.net/2012/04/10/ ... rs-game-4/My dislike of Correia is pretty well known, but I think the Bucs have a lot going in their favor for this one. Correia has a lot of experience against the Dodgers, has pitched in the park a good bit, was okay on the road last year, and has pitched well against Kemp. The big thing will be how well Kershaw is feeling. He was pulled from his last start after three innings. The short start, and illness could definitely effect him.

Not excited about the Pirates yet, despite how well thyey played in their opening series.
The Phillies aren't going to be as good as people have come to expect, especially early on in the season.
We shall see...

Yeah, KCore not really very good, and he returned to his standard after an early season flurry. But, he was damn good early last year outside of PNC Park, so maybe he can get that mojo back this season. Let's see.

Hell yeah, I'm excited! Take what we can get, but I'm also looking forward to where we left off last year mid-July.
There are a lot of positives to take from that last series, no matter the opponent, and as good as they have been or not, the Phillies ain't any doormat, that is certain.

Let's spoil the Dodgers' party celebrating the 50th anniversary of Dodger Stadium. Fuck those left coast pansies! Beat 'em Bucs! Kill the Bums!

Tabata leading off with the A lineup in the mix again Kershaw is the best lefty in the land ...let the small ball commence immediately Jose and run all day.

BOTH Tabata and Presley dick around and don't make a legitimate attempt to the get the bunt down  This squad has to be better at handling the lumber and putting the ball in play to utilize the only real weapon we have - wheels. I will give Presley credit for a perfect sacrifice in game 3 vs the Phils to move Harrison to 3rd with 1 out....bunting for base hits is a wholly different science however.

I like Presley but I don't like him in the the 2 hole against tough lefties.
