Dear Shrinking Vitamin D Fan Base:
Tuesday, July One, 2008.
We know. We know. We're working the problem. Needless to say, the GM is on Double Secret Probation and ownership is searching Craig's List for a replacement.
The Good (please fill glass half-full first): Jenn didn't shut us out last week!
The Bad* (please empty glass, then fill with forlorn hope): Senor Fuentes yesterday, the stats for which we were watching in horror at the Ms vs Jays game last night (with The Commish and Mrs. Commish, Glitterbabyz2B):
The Just Plain Dumb (feel free to bang head -- repeatedly -- on desk or other hard surface): we left 2 Ws and 14 Ks on the freaking bench yesterday -- the straw that pushed ownership over the edge:
--Vitamin D-umb PR Department
* Late breaking (more) bad news: "RF Magglio Ordonez was placed on the 15-day disabled list Sunday with a pulled right oblique and lat muscle suffered in the first inning Saturday night. He told reporters the pain increased overnight. Ordonez, batting .307 with 12 home runs and 50 RBI, had not missed a game this season. "I don't want to take a chance," said Ordonez, third Tiger this month to go on the DL due to an oblique muscle pull.

Meanwhile, in the WTH? Department, we have these two classic Vitamin D-umbfounded Moments:
Bradley then went back to the clubhouse and broke down in tears. "I'm tired of people bringing me down," Bradley said to his teammates. "It wears on you. I love you guys, all you guys. I'm strong, but I'm not that strong. All I want to do is play baseball and make a better life for my kid than I had." (Milton "So, S0 Fragile" Bradley)
obviously I want to thank my parents for giving me life (Bartolo Colon)

Dear Mr. Diddly:
Thanks for memories ... and lyrics.
"I got 47 miles of barbed wire/I use a cobra snake for a necktie/I got a brand new house by the road side/Made from rattlesnake hide/I got a brand new chimney up on top/Made from a human skull/Now come on, baby, take a walk with me now/And tell me, who do you love?"

Dear Little Leaguers:
Listen up.
(big) Thumbs down
Jimmy Rollins, Phillies: Rollins, the reigning National League MVP, failed to run out a pop fly (eventually dropped by the shortstop) and was yanked from Thursday's game by Phillies manager Charlie Manuel.
(small) Thumbs up
Jimmy Rollins, Phillies: Rather than making excuses or fuming at Manuel, Rollins cheered on his team during the game and owned up to his mistake. "It's my fault. I can't get mad at him," Rollins said.
