Thanks for your update. I make every attempt not to write off the top of my head--without any aforethought. FLop is an issue and he basically backed up my post today with his "Hell, No!!" comment to being a bench player. Although, I will give him credit for speaking his mind. There is nothing wrong with hearing what player's really feel.Screech's Best Friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01094199653375184305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-3778684886307610342008-03-18T19:40:00.000-04:002008-03-18T19:40:00.000-04:00On second thought, after reading this, i've change...On second thought, after reading this, i've changed my mind.<BR/><BR/>http://blog.washingtonpost.com/nationalsjournal/2008/03/felipe_lopez_bench_no_hell_no.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-49528017731041247212008-03-18T17:13:00.000-04:002008-03-18T17:13:00.000-04:00The guys who killed Sean were from Tampa.Trust in ...The guys who killed Sean were from Tampa.<BR/><BR/>Trust in Aligator Alley.

I infer that the brass has pretty much given up on Flop as everyday, while Acta still thinks that he has a decent chance of getting in there and lighting it up, if someone goes down; or, if Dodgers offer pitcher for Belliard and Harris, for example.<BR/><BR/>Question: is there a special ruling from MLB permitting one of Dukes' handlers to accompany him to the plate and stand next to him in left this season? I hope all this infrastructure, seriously, devoted to him can work. I do not recall Richie Allen or Albert Belle or any of these old school hotheads being padded by 4-5 coaches and mentors. Perhaps it would have worked. Only time and patience shall tell in Elijah's case. {What is it about the water in Tampa that is SO BAD for Washington sports players, e.g., what happened to Sean Taylor?
