Respect the Little Pony


Of course a plea for the Little Pony in the All-Star Game is a little late, but shit, not a bad way to follow-up Player of the Week honors. Although he struggled early in the game, to come up with a, ahem, broken bat inside the park HR to drive in the only and winning runs of the game, is pretty phenomenal. I think I heard the Cowboy say this is the first road win this season when trailing after 8 innings (which is maybe why I dragged my lazy ass out of bed to post this). Even though the road struggles at the plate seem to be continuing, it's an excellent way to start this make or break road trip.

DLR solid on the mound too and definitely deserved a W. Despite a 1-2-3 bottom of the 9th, Street was hit very hard. The heavy Bay Area night air, Johnny Boy's leather at 2B, and Street's own handy work fielding his position thankfully prevented any significant drama. The Young Bear's Main Man Esmil needs to rebound after getting shelled last week and give his team a chance to win this series outright before sending Ubaldo to the mound on Wed.....

It would stink like a lot of little pony feces.

Liking the Padres slide - more so against the D-Bags than the Phillies. Hope that slide can continue at least through the weekend.

C'Mon SUPER ESMIL!!!

With the vaunted young right-handed trio in place (Ubaldo/Jhoulys/Esmil) the need to lock up the soon-to-be free agent, DLR is paramount.
