Friday Night Fukudome: Baker vs. Yost
I’m not going to lie. I haven’t been too pleased with the lineups Lou has proposed this week. Despite his fascination with Ryan Theriot at the top of the lineup, though, Lou is still the cream of the NL Central managers. If you look around at the rest of the NL Central’s [...]
Trying To Look Forward, But I Can’t Help Looking Back
