Could even give him some time in CF perhaps!!!

The problem
735 OPS against lefties isn't good but it's not like we have a lot of other options out there.

True, though - his 2nd home run, which was a BLAST, was against a lefty yesterday!!
The good news is it's on the rise. It went from .450 in 2009 to .700 in 2010 to where it's at now. At least you can see he's learning. If he can get that close to .800 that's an acceptable number for a LH LF.

Yup - remember, he was a straight from AA callup when Quentin got hurt

Long time Phoenician!
All season long, Gerardo has been our platoon LF, starting most of the games, with Bloomquist starting vs. lefty pitchers.
Now that Bloomquist has earned full-time SS/leadoff responsibilities, and if Goldschmidt becomes the regular 1B (he is a righty batter), Nady will probably be the LF platoon vs. lefty starters.
Resting Parra vs. lefty starters has worked well so far. But it is nice to see him get a chance to see what he can do.
P.S.: I was shocked that the Dodgers field announcer pronounced "Gerardo" with a hard "G" instead of the traditional Spanish "H" sound. This in El Ciudad de los Angeles. I guess that's where he got it. The "g" in "angeles" is pronounced as a hard "g".

3-5, 1 HR, 3 of 5 total runs scored, stolen base
And the pose after the HR and how much it pissed off the Dodgers was pure awesomeness!

Here's the video replay of Parra's blast... Gotta LOVE how Gibby, Baylor and Matt Williams all got heated up over LA's response!!!

Grace was saying last night that he believes a bench-clearing brawl has been brewing between these teams all season... Today will most likely be the stage.
That was awesome. We were having dinner at our friends house and had the game on but muted. We saw the HR and then saw Gibby drop his MF bomb. That was enough for us to turn it up and hear the comments/see a replay. LOL

Chicken bleep waited until he qualified for the win
