Quote of the day
"We had a lot of discussions about whether we should eliminate [kickoffs] and if we did what we could do in its place. There’s no consensus on it right now, but I could see the day in the future where that play could be taken out of the game. You see it evolving toward that." -- Giants owner John Mara

Daily blurb
Three of the top 6-8 hitters last night (depending on scoring system) were catchers. Matt Wieters went deep twice, while Joe Mauer had 2 doubes and a steal , and A.J. Pierzynski was 3/3 with a HR. I loaded up on Mauer and Pierzynski in my StarStreet Fantasy Baseball entries last night, so that worked out pretty well! I actually had second thoughts about loading up on two catchers, but I liked the pitching matchups, weather conditions, recent hitting, and relative prices of those two guys. My hunches paid off this time.
