Managerial Lineup Card Screwup has Michael Bourn Bat Twice in a Row

...because the Astros presented plate umpire Eric Cooper with a lineup card featuring Matsui leading off and Bourn batting second, that move provided embarrassment after Bourn was brought back to the plate after leading off with a single to right.

Once Milwaukee manager Ken Macha questioned the lineup card to Eric Cooper, Matsui was called out with an assist to the catcher and then Bourn had to bat again.

Once Milwaukee manager Ken Macha questioned the lineup card to Eric Cooper, Matsui was called out with an assist to the catcher and then Bourn had to bat again.

Houston's sneak attack plan finally revealed:

Step 1: Bat Michael Bourn.
Step 2: Bat Michael Bourn.
Step 3: Profit!

Hilarious. If I'm going to bat a guy twice in that lineup I think I'd choose somebody else. I'm just saying.

[Apexx]

But...


Then it wouldn't be a sneak attack. D'ur. ok ok... I'm getting it.

Volquez down.

Reds placed RHP Edinson Volquez on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 17, with back spasms.
Volquez underwent an MRI Thursday, one day after back soreness truncated a bullpen session after a few pitches and caused Dusty Baker to say that he would be skipped in his next rotation turn. "It's muscular. Nothing in his vertebrae or anything like that," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "That's positive news. We just decided that instead of sending him out there 75-80 percent, we'll get him well and skip one start and get him back to 100 percent." Volquez could be activated as soon as June 1.

Dusty would have you believe it was because Volquez was taking steps two at a time up from the clubhouse to the dugout.  I have a hunch it was more Edinson falling down them all at once a-la Mike Harkey after a few too many Dos Equis.

The sneak attack is taking shape...

He'd come to the Cubs in a heartbeat. Ditto the Atlanta Braves or -- hide your eyes, Cubs fans -- the Houston Astros. But the only way he's coming to an AL team is if it gives him something along the lines of the deal the Yankees gave CC Sabathia last winter (seven years, $161 million).

The rest of that paragraph is even more non-sensical nonsense.  Holy fuck, Phil Rogers sucks ass.

That was good. But why are we stalking the Brewers fans? I'm not sure I'm on board with this.

Tick tock.

Most Astros fans realize manager Cecil Cooper's job might be on the line.

The Astros have lost seven in a row, and it's clear he has lost a great portion of his clubhouse's support and with some players even their respect. One player even told me "It's going to be Coop or me soon. Just watch."

The Astros are just lulling everyone to sleep right now with Coop as the manager. Soon he will be fired and then the sneak attack will commence.

It's all fun and games until they hire Sadaharu Oh as their manager.
