  1. Parker's girlfriend or sister, whoever was with his parents, is being marked down as hot. That guy's got a really quick arm. I think next year his stuff will be a little more consistent than it was this year. Just reading the numbers and seeing last night's start you can tell that he's "only" most of the way back post-surgery.
  2. He probably doesn't, but since he's the manager of a losing team the large assumption will lean towards the scenario that makes him look least intelligent. But, what part of his short tenure makes anyone think he is an intelligent manager? Not his W-L record this year, as any other answer would just be falling for the trap that question sets to open the can of worms I'd rather leave miles away from me.
  3. Oh jeez...Don't even get me started on them! Everything I said there reflects my thoughts on them to a tee! Skanks and hoowahs! Skanks and hoowahs! *fist pumps while dancing in a tight circle*
  4. He probably doesn't, but since he's the manager of a losing team the large assumption will lean towards the scenario that makes him look least intelligent.
  5. Want to go conspiracy? Steve Bartman = alien. But yeah, I really can't say I'm all that interested in the guy or any aspect of his life. I *was* OTOH glad to hear that he's a pretty hardcore baseball fan who even coached. The guys he coached even defended him! [expletive] yeah for humanity!
  6. This is what I would do: Girl - "Oh I'm just kind of skank (teeheehee), what do you do?" Dolis/Clevenger - "I'm a professional baseball player." Girl - "Like OOOOOMG! Baseball players are like soooooo cute!" *gobble, slobber, swallow*
  7. A lack of care plus basic human kindness. What're they gonna say anyway? "I work with Steve Bartman. We file papers together and stuff. He's really nice. He was once part of a group of people who failed to pull in a foul ball in an important baseball game, if you aren't aware."
  8. so the 1st 10 minutes and 5 minutes toward the end is almost half? I tuned out for most of the 2nd hour. After a while I got the point...Bartman caught hell.
  9. I knew ESPN would find a way to get a focus on the Red Sox. Almost half of the documentary went in their direction with Buckner. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck ESPN.
  10. Why do that when they can start him? He's probably warmed up after last night.
  11. Through that bickering his arm will continue to survive. Sucks he hit the 120s by the 7th. I would have liked him to finish and hit a nice round 200 IP. This made me check something...123 pitches over 9 innings isn't even 14 (13.67) pitches an inning. So given a strong, healthy, loose arm attached to a strong, healthy, loose body throwing a mostly stress free game...
  12. Plus Bauer next year. Skaggs will beat Bauer, and be the best pitcher of the bunch. Calling it today so it can be forgotten tomorrow.
  13. The only thing about 2003 that still makes me mad is that Mark Prior was *that* [expletive] good and it was the *only* year we got to see it.
  14. This is awesome. I DVR'd and am watching it now. The old-timey video with the joke "You're not going to win, but you don't know it yet" about Spring Training still has me chuckling. I've never heard that one.
  15. of what? One day it will be a well known fact that sarcasm detectors don't work on the Internet. Until then, I will forget it constantly.
  16. Yes, but Prior could be forgiven if he just brought the towel drill back. He'd have to talk to Maddux, but the hope would be there....
  17. Appel has also gotten Verlander comparisons by some scouts, who think some pro coaching and conditioning can really open him up. Personally, there can only be one Verlander, but I could see the overall point that a healthy, college trained arm that can do what his arm can can really flourish with some tweaks.
  18. Martinez is an interesting name to throw out simply because he was picked to be the BC for one of the most progressive franchises and managers in baseball. Like JCF said before I have no idea what kind of coach he is, but I know he already annoys me less than Sandberg.
  19. if beane gets the job he'll likely hire a broken down, old failure. someone who's got no dignity left, a broken man with no dreams or illusions of being even a respected name. someone who will do whatever he's told so that he can eat that day. and that's who i want. Not sure if srs, but I think the reputation of Beane managers is grossly overstated. I think he'd go for a Girardi/Francona type, capable of working with him like those guys with their FOs, and a high end on field/in game manager who has similar philosophies to the GM.
  20. Consider me sold. I know you're already sold, but his Will tool got graded a future 70, best in the MWL. Were talking srs heart and soul upside here.
  21. Hed be worth every penny and every year. The guy is a living legend who in a bad year for him throws up great numbers if mortals were throwing them up.
  22. +1 Plus he went PUBLIC with his complaints. As far as the Cubs job is concerned right now he can go screw somewhere. Theres more worthy candidates.
  23. What's a good ceiling comp for Szczur? I've heard Victorino, which sounds good enough. When he first got picked up I thought maybe a Carl Crawford or Brett Gardner type in CF rather than left, though left isn't out of le picture.
  24. He's actually a decent or bette candidate too.
