Idiots have Guillen playing 3rd base. Boy will that make Leyland happy! Where is that promise that he would play LF. Instead Maggs is in LF!

GO USA!

Game doesn't mean anything so try weird positions I guess. Put Granderson at 3B or SS - we could use someone better there. Of course that'd open a hole in CF so maybe not.


Let Granderson pitch maybe?

raining hard, will there be a game???

they are taking the field in hard rain.
