Nats broadcaster Zimmerman-
"It's 4-0, Mets. But with that error, it should be 0-0!"
Gee thanks Mr. Zimmerman (what is it with Zimmerman's and the Nats?).
Wah, Mr. Zimmerman...and in your zest to be a homer and protect, your boy Steven Strasburg, Ian Desmond goes under your bus.

Why does Jose Altuve have to play for Houston?
I wish it were Dan Uggla.
Is there a lineup (sans Altuve) who looks ready to strike out 15 times on any given night more than Houston?

Three doctors examined Melvin Upton as he arrived in San Diego.
All had the same opinion.
He sucks.

Good Upton...Bad Upton

Just for the record, when Hank and Tom played, there was no good Aaron, bad Aaron....well, at least, spoken.

What he said....
'Lagares is our future leadoff hitter'

What he meant...
'Hopefully he hits, we could use a real leadoff hitter'

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

What he said....
'Mat Latos will be better next time out'

What he meant...
'How much are we paying that sombitch?'

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

What he said...Ricky Nolasco...
'My arm hurts.'

What we said...His drafters
'Your arm hurts us'

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

What he said...Joe Maddon
'Jorge Soler taking the ball to the right side to advance the runner is well beyond his years'

What we said...Jorge Soler owners
'SWING THE DAMN BAT, PRINCESS!!!'

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

What he said...Walt Weiss
'I pinch hit for Tulo to give him a blow and keep him from potential harm'

What we said...Tulo owners
'Harm will find him, give him the ab's first!'

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

What he said...'Tomas needs to get in better shape!'

What he meant...We scouted this guy? AND gave him 68 million dollars?
He looks like Guillermo from 'Kimmel!'

Bobby Bonilla will get paid more by the Mets than Matt Harvey this year.

Remember when Ruben Amaro was going to trade Papelbon, Howard, Upton, Lee, and Hamels?
Good times.

Nobody wishes injury on anybody....unless playing fantasy baseball.

Is it just me? Or does Mat Latos look like 'Dead Man Walking'?

Amazing stat of the day-
During Bryce Harpers professional career, including the minors, majors and even his two rehabing trips to A ball in 2013 and 2014, Harper has never faced a pitcher younger than himself.

A Cleveland broadcaster lauded Trevor Bauer's "pinpoint control" against Houston.
He walked five Astros.

Devon Mesoraco hit a ball slow enough to the shortstop to move Todd Frazier from second to third base.
It was called 'a productive out'.
That is like your friends calling a non-smelly fart of yours, 'a productive fart'.

This is April. The Rockies are a good April team.
April is the month that Tulo and CarGo are both in the lineup.

In 11 at bats Evan Gattis has hit thee fair balls. All finding gloves.
His eight strike outs have looked like a caveman swatting flies with a club.

Alex Rodriguez has two hits this year.
I know this because the MLB Channel replays every ARod hit....multiple times.
Why? I really have no idea.

Why doesn't the dumbass that says, 'Adrian Gonzalez is on pace for 270 home runs'...
Also say, 'Jose Bautista is on pace for a .000 batting average.'

Gonzalez has 10 hits in three games.
Kyle Lohse gave up 10 hits in three innings

Mark Trumbo has two hits. Both, triples.

What do Joey Votto and Babe Ruth have in common?
Neither have taken a walk during the last week.

But he does have a home run...Votto I mean...

Heard tonight on Phillies broadcast that Dan Uggla is the highest paid player on the Atlanta payroll this year. Yet the Braves were willing to eat his money and also able to move Bad Upton. Yet RAJ is still sitting on Howard and Papelbon and hoping they somehow gain trade value. Has anyone seen the lineup the Phils are rolling out tonight?
