Does anyone keep Grich or Boone in?

[Gantry]

It's very rare, done it about 6-7 times.  Only once against someone not named Armas...

[Flood]

Grich or Boone NEVER SEE A FUCKING PITCH!!!!

For the Sox, Burks leads off, Hendu bats second and Armas is my power anchor at 8 (although GlassJoe would walk him to get to the pitcher.)

You're a fucking genius Mclane....I use the same approach, and it seems to work pretty damn well.  California's bench is way too good to not use, and who better to take out of a game than Grich and Boone....and Pettis.  He sucks.

[Burnzky]

   Grich always gets taken out for hendrick, but boone stays in.  People always tell me to take him out in the beginning of the  game but he seems to come up clutch in the end.  As for Boston i put armas at number 1 and burks a number 8.

[Gantry]

You bat Rupperto at leadoff then?  

[fknmclane]

Ruppert has got to be 6.  He was born to dominate the 6-hole.

[Big_Reg44]

I keep both in to start the game but i always have grich on probation. sometimes hell step up in the clutch for me, but most of the time its a routine grounder to thrid to end the inning. Most of the time i have Jones come in because of his homers and he is another lefty in the lineup. Boone stays in only because i know that he will get it done, and im one huge reds fan who believes he was outsed on bad judgement.

Speaking of Boone--anyone want his home phone number?
I got a list of sports phone numbers today. Most are not working, but his wife--Sue answered.
714-637-3048

[Baines]

Let's call him up Reg!

"It's Bob Boone today at the ballpark."

[Burnzky]

     Rupert is in the #1 slot, he has to get in the game, he is one of our highest ranked players.  

[Gantry]

How different we all are..  Wilfong is definitely my leadoff guy.   Rupperto is the top bench man in the game, but the 6 spot is his home....

[japetus462]

i agree 100%

[fknmclane]

I said it before, I'll say it again.  Rupert was born to hit sixth on RBI.  That's his purpose on this planet.

[Sal Bando]

Not too long ago I left Bob Boone in because he was just fired from the Reds and he hit 4 HRs that day.....to the amazement of all that witnessed it.

[Gantry]

I can safely say I've never gotten 4 dingers with Boone.  I'm pretty sure I've never gotten two, well done!

[fknmclane]

I've never hit it out of the infield with Boone.

[Baines]

Unfortunately, I was on the receiving end of Boone's offensive explosion.  

I've left him in ever since and had pretty good results.

[Gantry]

Hmm...  Boone's power rating is actually higher than Wilfongs.  I'll give him a few games and lets see what he does...

[Reggie]

Don't do it Boone will only lead to double-play madness.

[Gantry]

That's true, but Hendrick is no picnic either with the grounders.  It would be good to mix it up, I've played the same lineup with Cali for about 7 years now.  Lets see how they do with two bench guys and a weaker #8 hitter.  Should be interesting...

[fknmclane]

You gotta mix it up every once in while.  I fucking lost to SF even though I was AL all-stars.  Totally ridiculous.  I hate the fucking AL ass-stars.  Weak hitters.  Bunch of pussies.
