Would someone mind explaining to me why the hell Vinnie Rottino was leading off?
Acta bet someone last night that he could lead-off with a player that had an OBP under .200 and he wanted to cash in with that pitcher of beer tonight at GLB?
Cord Phelps and his .133 OBP wasn’t available?
He was luring the Twins into a false sense of security with the lead-off spot just to unleash Choo on them when he needed him?
can someone tell me who Rottino is? Or Neal? I need to print that box score, because the contest is over, this may be the lineup from hell.
