HJE Celebrates Daryle Ward Day
If you thought Daryle Ward’s big weekend was going to go unnoticed at Hire Jim Essian, well, you’re just not reading closely enough. In honor of the big lug’s single-handed dismantling of the “Best Team in Baseball,” today is officially Daryle Ward Day at HJE. Daryle has been putting together good at-bats all year, and this weekend it finally paid off. How about this line for the weekend?
2-2, 1 2B, 3 RBI.
Ward’s batting average went up 72 points over the weekend, and he’s hit safely in the last three games in which he’s appeared. His OBP is at .406, and his OPS is back up to a more Ward-like .823. Welcome back, Daryle. In honor of DWD, I’m eating a giant burrito for lunch.

Bad Kermit On an unrelated note, TDubbs’ birthday party has been canceled.
Also, TDubbs has a tiny penis.
Pat Long live the Fat Kangaroo!! What a rotund stud. He’s like a Randall Simon that doesn’t hate sausages.
Happy DWD, all. Extra sour cream for my burrito.
Thom If that’s Carlos Zambrano lifting him, then Carlos could be on Steroids. I’m not saying he is, but you would think that by just looking at the photo.
flannj Kerm, I blame you for the monstrosity I’m going to have to deposit in about 40 minutes.
I just finished my DWD Burrito.
Grilled chicken, pintos, rice, lettuce, tomato, cheese, habanero.
I’m gonna need a nap.
Section 242 In tribute to this great man, I have made my ass as big as DWD’s.
Hey Lou, how about giving Wardo a start at 1st base against the next tough righty we face. DLee has got to be tired from jacking all these homers out against the wind.
Weebs Darlye Ward is my hero. Has he ever been spotted without that big, chipmunk-looking smile?
Chuck Lee Elia says, “My fucken’ ass times 3 isn’t as big as a Ward’s, and you can take that down town AND PRINT IT!!”
BigFlax This just in from the notes section of tonight’s game recap!
“Former Cubs’ pitcher Mark Prior, now with the Padres, had a setback in his rehab from shoulder surgery in April 2007. When he felt discomfort in his shoulder at extended spring training in Arizona, he was sent back to San Diego for an MRI, manager Bud Black said. Prior might visit Dr. James Andrews, who performed the surgery, to be checked out.”
I know we’re all surprised and upset.
JackB I love me some Darryl Ward. I was unable to observe said holiday yesterday, but tonight I will be making tacos aplenty. Big D is the man!
djwoody D. Ward represents the fat ass in all of us. Long live the fat bastard kangaroo! This is the year!
