Reed Johnson will never get out! *Update

Bye Felix!

Reed Johnson is batting a cool 1.000 this season. He also has some facial hair that would cause a Padre to call him douchey.

I have a random thought. After seeing Jim Leyland on Sportscenter the other day, I finally realized who he reminds me of. The old man salting the sidewalks from Home Alone. Buzz convinces Kevin that he killed a bunch of people, but he really just has a complicated relationship with his son. He has a soft-side Buzz; you would realize that if you weren't such a dick all the time.

Hey, you know who sucks at leading-off? Alfonso Soriano. Here's a handy list of things that lead-off batters should do:

Reach base: Soriano never, ever walks. Mainly because he never...

Take pitches: He swings at the first pitch 80% of the time. That's not factual, but it might be. If you throw him three sliders in the dirt away, he'll swing at every one.

Steal bases: Fine.

Move runners: Can't bunt, won't try.

Reed Johnson got out. The dream has died. His average fell 333 points. Ouch.

Derrek Lee just went yard, and it was a (*gasp) fastball!

Is it bad that I have to convince myself that Jason Marquis isn't the best hitter in our line-up every fifth day?
