That was a great move by Desmond to lay down that drag bunt for the rbi last night. Riggs is proving to be a master juggler. Let's see if it works again tonight. The pitching matchup might be too much to overcome.

Ha, hard to sit Guzman when he is leading the NL in batting average... and I don't mind seeing Kennedy's name in the lineup...
But, boy, Desmond is showing to be a real player, I hate to see a lineup card without his name on it these days...
