I actually root a bit harder for him because any success he has really freaks Cards fans out.

The physical hats themselves aren't the problem - they're normal 59FIFTYs, just bend the brim consistently for a week or so and they'll be fine in no time - it's the designs. I mean, look at these: http://www.lids.com/rid/214?team=143 Who would wear some of these? I think we all know who Who?

I like his music video, with visual effects from the same studio that did Kevin's Scrantonicity demo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puVDcfVGcl4

Announcers just said "at least 6 weeks." Do you consider signing Bonds?

http://ukhealthcare.uky.edu/Ortho/fact_sheets/metacarpal_fracture.htm We'll need more details to know how severe. According to this site, if no joints are effected, it is non-operative and requires one month. Of course, we all know that hand/wrist injuries can affect a hitter beyond the healing time (Nomar, Lee.)

So I just got home. How bad did the Soriano HBP look?

well, I have four cents riding on the Lakers covering the spread, so I guess I'm hoping LA can pull away here.

lol

6-5 middle of the 8th Jeebus. From reading the last three pages, I figured Howry had given up 4 at least. You do realize it's the game thread? I'd forgotten they were such cesspools of dismay and hand-wringing. I generally avoid them unless I need info.

so what's the score? gamecast is frozen

MJ did that too. He's the best player in the league and it is pretty much his team, so I don't have a problem with it. Honestly, it was lame when MJ did it, too.

Duncan's defense in LF leaves you to wonder if he's facing the plate or the bleachers when the pitch comes in. lol

He lost touch with a "reality" based world and wondered off somewhere. He also started a thread in social on time travel and aliens. Dutch Daulton used to post here?

Don't they have like the second worst record in MLB? KC is pretty bad.

I agree with TT. I'd like to find a way to keep Demp fresh. I also don't see the comparison Edmonds is making. Carp's stuff has looked infinitely sharper than Sean's, though I've only seen Sean pitch twice.

I just love watching the Lakers lose.

you have to pace yourself. there are a lot of idiots around here these days.

Haven't they always said "make hay a home, go .500 on the road"? That's basically what we're doing. We're only 2 games under. Only three teams have winning records on the road.

California born guy that goes to KU? double whammy imo BITE YOUR TONGUE Yeah, you're not bringing enough attention to his apparent gang ties. I hope he shanks you.

I was merely expressing some incredulity at the idea that poster had access to Lou's feelings on Pie via his position at Joe's Stone Crab. Obviously Pie's numbers this year are meager. (Though I submit he never really had a chance to perform, so I'm wary of declaring him incapable this season based on that tiny sample size.) My point was that we don't need inside information to tell us that Lou doesn't like it when guys don't produce (he's benched nearly everybody for some stretch at this point). The credibility of the Crab Shack guy notwithstanding (maybe its true maybe it isn't, none of us know), it should be pretty clear what Lou thinks of Pie based on his actions, and really shouldn't surprise anybody. If Lou thought much of Pie's chance to produce this year, he'd have played him more. I never disputed the idea that Lou was dissatisfied w/ Pie. I only suggested that it's surprising--perhaps even unlikely--that he said so to the guy dropping off the lobster tails. And that he confided in him that "He thinks he is Soriano when the Cubs were hoping for a Carl Crawford/ Willie Mc Gee type." I honestly don't know why this is so hard to understand.

I hope not. I've got my fingers crossed that Roger Clemens will stop in his restaurant make a steroid confession over a plate of Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes.

You were supposed to not post in Edmonds threads while he was going good. Now he's gonna tank. oh no, you're wrong. this is my, how would you say........"my i told you so wet dream"? :D And look how well that worked out for Felix and Ronny. oh, felix wasn't going to play, anyway. for whatever reason, lou hates him, that's not going to change until hendry forces his hand. might as well sit back and relax while edmonds does well--and be smug, very very smug. Lou tried to work with Felix. The reason he hates him is his strike zone awareness sucks as does his plate discipline. He thinks he is Soriano when the Cubs were hoping for a Carl Crawford/ Willie Mc Gee type. More inside info? Not inside exactly. I work in the "PR" side of things in the rest. biz. I have worked for Gibsons/ Hugo's and now for Joe's Stone Crab Chicago. I deal with the Cubs all the time. I have friendly relationships with the players, front office, you name it. We even cater to the clubhouse. Even my owner Rich Melman is a possible partner in a potential new ownership group. I deal with athletes on a nightly basis. Just last night i had OJ Mayo in, for example. I'm a sicko Cubs fan just like you! Hope everyone understands, and welcome anyone in to Joe's to see me. Just pm me. So somebody in the organization admitted Lou hates Pie and gave the reasons why...to the guy from Joe's Stone Crab?
