    Moron talking heads

    Lol, I'm seeing a pepto bismol ad at the top of this thread. Anyway, I hate short series, let's start this one off with a win.

    I'm going to say it right now, the Giants are not getting a hit tonight

    I hate those stupid towels. Thor is throwing darts

    Lacky living the charmed life.

    Lacky is getting lit up this inning

    Cogs is my pick for playoff/WS hero out of nowhereTM

    I kind of get the feeling that Len and JD would be just about anywhere else right now.

    Baez is impressing Baez!

    An unforgettable sports moment. It definitely got dusty in my house watching that Yeah, when Len reported it while watch the replay he had to take a couple seconds to gather himself

    I love this team so much. They never let up

    He always looks that way. He reminds me of a badge heavy cop who stopped you to give you a ticket for going 61 in 55 zone.

    Ross has grown on me over this season, but this stuff is getting out of hand.

    LSU Alumni must be crazy pissed to fire him like that.

    The boat must have tipped over when it hit the jetty and ejected them on the rocks. How terrible.

    Really sad news. I wonder if they were wearing life vests.

    Of course Maddon will be allowed to use him in the outfield. Why wouldn't he be? He's used Travis Wood in the outfield (albeit in an extra inning game) and Maddon likes having versatile players. If the money is about the same and the decisive factor is seeing some time as position player in-between starts, well, I'm okay with letting Otani get some starts in LF/RF. Obviously, some PH opportunities as well. I don't know exactly how well his bat will translate at the MLB level, but he has some amazing bat speed. The hitting is all secondary though, like an added bonus. It's the ability to dominate as a SP that makes him special. The Cubs are not going to invest multiple millions of dollars on a pitcher and let him massage his ego by playing him in the outfield on non-pitching days. He will likely be used in a handful pinch hitting duties like other pitchers who can hit. But really, no team is going to let him play a position regularly on non-pitching days.

    Cogs

    The exact opposite of Carl Edwards Jr. on the mound.

    Odds on Braun getting busted for steroids again 2:1.

    I will be in the air the entire game. If the plane has wifi I'm getting it.

    He's like two different hitters in one body. His top half wants to go middle-away and his bottom half wants to pull the ball.

    A couple of years ago my kids (then 4 and 5) played in an upward soccer league. Each team is supposed to sub regularly and move players around to other positions.They played a team that had a kid on it who was so far beyond all the other kids in terms of ability. Their coach (his dad) left him in the game the entire time and he basically just ran and scored goals. It was stupid and embarrassing for the guy and his kid. All the kids on our team basically just stopped playing. The poor little girl who was the goal keeper just stood there. I've never seen anything like it. It was like that Will Farrell movie.

    One of the greatest things about Fred was his dedication to the game threads. During those lean years there would be some game threads where nearly every post was fred updating the innings with his "useless stats". He was so dedicated and I think he kept the threads going for posterity so we would have an archive of every game. That's just the kind of person he was. Like I wrote a few pages back, he is missed and he will be missed every time I post in a game thread.

    I loved and appreciated his useless stats in game thread. They were never useless and always welcome. I'm sorry. He is missed.
