He's a really swell hitter. And a swell fielder to boot. Gosh golly gee. Quite finding things to complain about.

Fine. He’s a really swell hitter. And a swell fielder to boot. Gosh golly gee.

Quite finding things to complain about.

As for Dempster, again the point being he is on the fring of the top ten NL pitchers; it woudl be nice to see him get into consideration the second half of the year. He has the pedigre after all. And lastly (geez someone woke on the wrong side of the bed) Lou being in the dugout, to me, had a little something to do perhaps with the early pull. And Matt...I think "gamer" is a fine, acceptable and well understood decriptive word for a ball player that has been in the baseball lexicon for about 100 years. Milton Bradley (Not a gamer), Grady Sizemore (gamer). ddave…my point being Fukodome really didn’t belong.

What is a gamer?

How about just saying he is a really good hitter, and a really good outfielder.

He's a gamer. Which means he'll be long gone before the Pirates can turn it around. Any remember who drafted Hamilton last year? Wouldn't it have been interesting having him roaming Centerfield this year? Or even last? Felix Pie, who? :P McClouth was in fairly shallow, but I like him. He’s a gamer.

Well… being that Fukudome is much better than Theriot, that would make sense.

Dempster…geez …CY?

Huh? He has been good… but he hasn’t even been the best pitcher on his team. Not sure how he would win the Cy Young.
