    I guess no one will tell Ensberg that is batting stance is simply a joke

    Because you're the one who can't seem to handle the atmosphere without calling people "trash".

    Glad to know I have the right to be trash, thanks.

    Any other values and opinions you think should be universal which you'd like to cram down our throats?

    Like I said, I disagree that booing is "trashy". Last night, it was downright appropriate.

    Actually, it looks to me as if he's changed it since last night. Body more square to the plate and the left leg not so far back. Last night, his left foot was on the edge of the batters box, not so much so today.

    Terrible time for Lance to be slumping. He is really not hitting the ball well, the few times he is infact hitting it. (lots and lots of popups)

    Our offense is down right atrocious right now. We can't bring home the base runners at all. How many runners were LOB in the last 14hrs? :confused: :(

    I too disagree. I love MMP, and my stros. But there are times when Booing is appropriate in my book. I don't do it often, but having seen Lidge blow 3 of the last 4 games I went to at MMP has got me to Booing him when ever he gets in trouble or gives up a home run etc. I don't booo batters when they are in slumps, but I do get damn pissed off if they leave the bases juiced via a pop out or strike out.

    I scream and cheer more than I boom, but everynow and then I feel it appropriate to let the boo birds out.

    One instance where I would have booed at a game was LAST NIGHT. After Lidge trashed Roger's win, gave up the lead, and in turn caused us to lose 9 innings later. And he did it in fashion....Home run to the lead off man. Pathetic.

    Nevermind....obviously the chances didn't exist. Some one needs to examine our bats , they seem to have holes in them.

    What do you guys expect 55% of today's lineup is batting .240 or below....

    After Scott it is all freebies.

    You know its a bad sign when you expect not to score once in a game. Or when a solo home run by your opponent pretty much ends all hopes of a W.

    He should be nailed to the bench for the rest of the year, until we are out of it, along with anyone else hitting below .240...with the possible exception of Everett and or Ausmus but never both in the lineup at the same time.

    Do we have enough players on the team to fill out a lineup with your criteria ;)
