Clint Hurdle said he consulted with several people when putting together his National League batting order. Oakland GM Billy Beane probably was not one of them.
"You look at the numbers that many of these men have put up," Hurdle said. "(But) you know, I’m a big fan—I hear about OPS, OBP—I’m a big fan of G-U-T-S. I like guts."

LoC slacking off?
The number of posts on the LoC this year averages 36 posts per week, or just over 5 a day. Last year averages 57 posts per day, or more like 8 per day. That's with a couple of really low week numbers in there - only 9 over the Christmas period and 15 way back in June. In fact, since the beginning of December we've been below the 2007 weekly average every week, before we finally managed to tie it last week. So what has happened to the Lattice? Back in the day, late July to early August, we had a chance. A glorious chance to finally top the 100 posts in a week barrier. But we came just 2 short. And it's been downhill ever since. When will we regain the glory of days past? Or are we just inexorably withering towards the eventual demise of this web diary? Let's get back to the glory days. Let's break the 100 posts in a week barrier. Who's with me?
