    So Lou does have wireless internet in the dugout. Gave me an interesting thought. At what point do we see the managers/coaching staffs with laptops in the dugout giving them all kinds of updated stats/charts and when do we stop seeing those big stupid binders? What a waste of paper, actually. You would think that they would already have laptops in the dugout.

    Why don't you go ask them nicely to turn them down, or better yet, off?

    Hey! Dextermorgan now looks like the dummy. Jeez, who would have thunk that there is nothing sure in most things, let alone baseball.

    Am I the only one who reads this as just Gordon's guess? I mean he seems to have no more info that Bruce had in his blog, he just spins it as if it's a done deal. It might just be a guess, but the fact remains. Our gm is bad enough to do this. No doubt about that. I haven't been a fan of Hendry in quite some time.

    This is how I look at it. It doesn't hurt that for some reason I don't have the same Edmonds hatred that most seem to have. But if he really is done, like some poster's who have seen him play say he is, then I hope they are quick to move on.

    I'm liking Z's efficiency thus far. [knocks on wood]

    Ya know, I wouldn't mind it if Fukudome and Soto hit 1 and 2.

    Can we please quit slobbing this guys knob? Theriot and Cedeno have both proven to be adequate major league SS. Maybe not quite as good as Greene, but they are making the minimum and don't require a trade to acquire them. It's more about a personal man-crush on the guy, not that I'm unhappy with either Theriot or Cedeno, sorry.
  13. CoolHandLuke
    Leave Greene when you leave, padres.

    This is such a true fact, at yet I'm torn on this issue. I love marmol coming in the 7th or 8th inning when the lead is close or runners are on, because he shuts them down. I wouldn't want wood coming in with a few runners already on, beause if he's wild, its going to open the door. On the other hand, someones like Marino Rivera is a great closer, but he'd be just as good in the 8th inning wouldn't he? But isn't he more valuable to the yankees as a closer? Why is the shutdown guy usually in he 9th? I guess, at this point, its not broke, so don't fix it...and I'm fine with that. The shutdown guy usually pitches in the 9th because it is what conventional baseball wisdom dictates, not necessarily because that is where he is most valuable. The root cause, in my opinion, is the invention of the "save".

    Exactly. Arguing about whether or not it was a "good" start is pointless because no matter what the results he got were, he showed that he has the stuff to pitch in the major leagues.
  16. CoolHandLuke
    Give him a grammar lesson.
  17. CoolHandLuke
    I can't imagine how awesome it would be to see your son make his first major league start. Congrats to the both of you! Hopefully Sean stays in the rotation for years to come.

    My 21st birthday was on opening day/ Illinois v. North Carolina NCAA championship game day. It also happened to be on a Monday, and I had a physics test the next day. I missed the test and failed the class. But it was an awesome day for a 21st birthday.

    How in the heck does a pitcher hit more batters than he walks? Besides the hit batsmen, Wood is dealing.

    Trust me...it's true. Remember the old donut shop? That became media relations in 2005 because there was no place to put them when they expanded another department. Now Media Relations is in a trailer in the parking lot. One very small department has people in four different areas because there is not a space to accomodate them all. It's an old ballpark and there is no more room to add office space. So if they redo the grandstand, I think the current employees might be quite happy. It was why everyone was looking forward to the triangle building on the corner of Clark and Waveland as it would have included office space. How hard would it be to rent some office space somewhere? It makes no sense that they allow the space in Wrigley to constrict them.

    If Reed is going to get a bulk of the starts vs RHP over Pie, then I would def prefer Edmonds filling that role. Of course, I would want Pie doing that, but it doesn't seem like that is what the team wants in the short term. I have no reason to boo Edmonds.

    Larry Beinfest isn't the Marlins GM anymore, that would be Michael Hill. That may be technically correct, but I think its just because of the titles that the marlins use. Beinfest is still the one making the baseball decisions.
  24. CoolHandLuke
    I think linking to WSI should result in :banned:

    It's terrible, but hearing it makes me happy Same Exactly. To me it epitomizes the eternally optimistic "lovable losers" tag. It's cute and cuddly and disgustingly bad.
