D-Mac, Gorneault Beam Down, Rip Texas League
Thanks to Stephen Smith for pointing out this On Deck Baseball rant:
3B Dallas McPherson is really trying to force his way to Anaheim. He is absolutely destroying the Texas League now and something must be done. Send him to the PCL or the bigs or back to his home planet, but get him outta here. McPherson blasted 2 home runs in both games of Arkansas' (ANA) doubleheader sweep of San Antonio (SEA) yesterday. McPherson would go 3-for-3 with 2 dingers, a steal, 4 runs scored, and 5 RBIs in the Travs' 12-5 game one victory and he would follow that up by going 3-for-4 with a double, 2 homers, and 3 RBIs in the Travs' 11-8 game two win. That's 4 homers, 6 runs scored, and 8 RBIs in 2 games that were 7 innings long. Big D or Big Mac or Daddy Mac or DMC or Babe is leading the TL in homers (16), RBIs (58), and slugging (.668). I'm now convinced McPherson is no longer human. I guarantee you he has his space ship covered with some twigs near the park. Someone needs to go search for his craft. Does anything else matter after that splosion? If McPherson was Rock, LF Nick Gorneault was Sock yesterday, as he would go 6-for-7 with 2 doubles, 2 homers (8), 6 runs scored, and 6 RBIs. Have a nice day. Gorneault leads the TL with 51 runs scored and is hitting .314. Did I mention McPherson hit 4 homers in the doubleheader? 1B Mike Eylward was 5-for-8 with a homer (3) and 5 RBIs for the Travs. The Wonder Twins had to have a Gleep. RF Shin-Soo Choo was 4-for-8 with a dinger (6), a steal, and 3 RBIs for the Missions in the DH. Choobaca has 6 straight 2-hit games to raise his average from .275 to .294. DH Ryan Christianson doubled twice, scored 2 runs, and drove in 2 runs and 3B Greg Dobbs was 2-for-4 with a double, 2 runs scored, and 2 ribs for San Antonio in game two. Christianson is 7-for-24 (.292) in his first 6 games this season. Dobbs is 8th in the TL in batting (.326).Dayng... This after D-Mac hit yet another bomb onto the Interstate. That promotion to AAA might just happen, but catching prospect Jeff Mathis, mired in a "slump" at .277, might have to stay behind.
