I'm actually interested to see how he reacts to the inevitable boos...will he need his translator to tell him what it means?

In all seriousness, I do feel sorry for Nishioka, but if you can't cut it, you can't cut it...

Plouffe should be back by Friday, so it's likely Nishioka won't have to endure that.

How about Dennys Reyes? Jim Abbott would have more trustworthy hand(s) at second. Troy Williamson available to play second?

Nicely done!

I expect Plouffe to be back but I'll admit that I was a little disheartened by his comments last night about how much the thumb still hurts.

This is my last bash of Nishioka for the day...Having Nishi at 2B makes Dozier look like a gold glover at SS. Just sayin!

EDIT: And one more thing, I would have been lying if I said I didn't expect Nishi to ground into a double play there...guess I was wrong!

[PopRiveter]

c'mon boys, get Revere 1 more shot!

Makes Dozier look like a deity with better defense than Ozzie Smith might be more like it...

How is Nishioka not the player of the game?

Did anyone catch Duesnsing resorting to Primal Scream Therapy into his mitt at the end of the 6th?

I think that was the moment that Bert broke his silence, mentioning in the top of the 7th that he had to defend the pitchers and state what the score "really" was.

Looks like I missed a "good" one.

Then when they come back from surgery they'll have their toughness questioned by the teams front office and coaching staff (questioning will depend on the players service time)

That usually happens when they are coming back from their rest and rehab too...

For the Native Americans.
