What's wrong with Guerrero?

Vladimir Guerrero has shown signs of coming out of his season-long funk, hitting three home runs last week and going three for six Monday night. But Manager Mike Scioscia saw enough of a regression Tuesday -- a first-inning strikeout on an outside ball in the dirt and a strikeout looking at a full-count slider with two on to end the sixth -- that he gave Guerrero his second game off in four days Wednesday. Guerrero, who has hit at least .300 with 25 home runs in each of his last 10 seasons, is batting .258 with seven homers and 28 runs batted in. The notoriously free swinger has expanded his strike zone even more this season and has been falling off to the third-base side on too many swings.

btw Arch... We know you're on the first page b/c you're on the first page. You don't have to tell us.

If you must, why don't you put that 'first' comment in your first post?

Don't worry, Vladi will come out of his funk. It is not just him in a bind right now, check out the stats. You got Kotchman as the top hitter and Napoli as the HR leader. Kotchman is great I know but where did Napoli come from with his power. Besides that, Angels are still in first thanks to the pitching

The roids are wearing off...better go find a corked bat.

Now...what's wrong with Vlad? Where do you want the TRUTH to begin?

1. Out of shape
2. Has a very undisciplined swing
3.Is slightly less stupid than Manny Ramirez

WOW!!! Fan Nation answered their own question:

The notoriously free swinger has expanded his strike zone even more this season and has been falling off to the third-base side on too many swings.

You think this maybe part of the problem?

Sorry, FMSD, but the US Government no longer recognizes the word "pacifists" as belonging to the English language but, rather, only to known terrorist cells.

Please forward the phone # of the offender so that he can be retained for questioning for the rest of his natural life.

Dear Concerned Citizen,
The Government banned dictionary's and spellcheck long ago. We official's are expected to survive on our wit, charm and good looks. We are just walking in the path set by our Supreme Leader: W. Lowering your expectations will certainly help.. Sorry for any inconvienence. You can expect a restitution check in the mail. (If you make more that $3k/year and less than $3.5k/year.)
Thanks for nothing in advance,
The US Gov
