it'll be nice when this team actually starts getting hits with runners in scoring position.

if you told me that koyie hill would walk with the bases loaded in consecutive games, i would have (a) laughed and then (b) said "why the hell is koyie hill playing in consecutive games"
-
well the bottom of our lineup is populated by guys who hit like they belong in the texas league, does that count?

ah the old golden sombrero. let's not talk about him any more. -
Harry Kalas passes away
TruffleShuffle replied to Post Count Padder's topic in General Baseball Talk
this is just about the worst news i could have woken up to. -
i don't know if this makes him a d-bag or just a complete idiot, but i remember a time when pedro had a perfect game in the 8th inning while pitching for the expos, and he hit reggie sanders with a pitch, and sanders charged the mound.

i've noticed. i liked him as a potential offensive 2B when he was drafted but it really seemed like he took a huge step backward last year, especially in the erosion of his plate discipline. it's nice to see him get off to a good start, hitting for power and showing some patience. hopefully he can keep it up. -
this will probably be rained out. tuesday also will be cool and crappy with light rain and drizzle; not sure if they'll play in that or not.

"they scored so many of their runs via the home run, they need to get more line drive singles" cue graphic showing 2nd-highest number of runs score via the home run was the world series champion.

i love epic fail by other teams' pitching.
-
man if your stuff is as bad as suppan's you had better throw strikes.
-
i hope milton was hurt on the hit and run, maybe that will teach lou to stop doing it so damn much.
-
can milton just used a hoveround to run the bases?
-
my grandfather has less aches and pains than milton.

i actually thought joe was going down the right road there, talking about the flaw of OPS but apparently he was saying it's a problem if a guy has a high OBP and low SLG or high SLG and OBP. i shouldn't have gotten my hopes up.

see kevin gregg, that's what you do with a hitter who can't hit
-
the one positive thing about getting knocked out for a second straight year by the pens is that this time it will be in the first round and people will regard the flyers as having underachieved, so there's a chance that stevens will be fired. that would really make this year a success, frankly.
-
good luck in the 2nd round, pittsburgh.
-
john stevens' coaching philosophy of "get lead, hang on for dear life" just led to a blown lead in the third period. the rangers are now beating the flyers in a game that means nothing to them, and the pens are going to get home ice.
-
now everyone is missing the green with a 8 iron from the fairway. someone step up and win the tournament.
-
what was that about perry not choking?
-
how about enos slaughter? i'm all for putting cards on the team, especially if they were racist and dirty players.
-
gregg has way better stuff than jones or end-of-career jobo.

he'll probably take some time to adjust. he's been promoted very aggressively - he was only drafted last year and has only pitched 50 innings as a professional. starting this season at AA is something you'd expect from a guy like david price, who starred at a high-profile college program. jackson played at a smaller program and played a lot of outfield. -
Glaus implicated with steroids

i'm pretty sure this story is like 2 years old.
