  1. excellent avatar I thought of all people you might enjoy it the most. If you want to steal it I could find something else?
  2. LaRussa is a genius. How did Jose Macias and Neifi Perez make major league teams? I think I wrote the answer to that one at the bottom of a bottle of scotch. I better get to work on finding it.
  3. Wow, you can see the delay for "live" broadcasts by watching the tv in the background.
  4. Can you shrink your avatar a bit? Thanks. Can you shrink your face? :-s :lol: Thank you. I was worrying nobody would find that funny. The delivery of it is a bit hard to pull off on the internet.
  5. Can you shrink your avatar a bit? Thanks. Can you shrink your face?
  6. Am I the only one who has to whistle along to that song everytime I hear it?
  7. of course not. how could a future hall of fame manager know more about baseball than a couple of guys on a message board? You do realize LaRussa pioneered the idea of the 9th inning closer, which both common sense and statistics show is a horrible idea? He's not as smart as he's cracked up to be. yeah, eck was a disaster as a closer. It's not that players can't perform in that role, it's that the concept pays no attention to leverage. Honestly, would you rather have your best reliever come into a tie game in the 7th with the bases juiced and no outs, or sit on the bench and wait until you might have a lead in the 9th? Eck was not as valuable as his performance dictated he could have been. LaRussa shouldn't be praised for not knowing how to deploy his resources in the most beneficial manner.

  9. He would have tried to suck the stitching off the ball?
  10. If Molina had gotten a hit there, would that make LaRussa smarter than us?
  11. I guess batting Molina fifth is about to come up in a big way.
  12. If only we could have retained Juan Pierre... :lol:
  13. Eckstein hustled that ball all the way into left field. Beltran just freaking gunned Eckstein.
  14. The only '100' LaRussa is thinking about is which 100 proof alcohol he's going to drink after the game. Probably whatever is under the passenger seat.
  15. They reached in and plucked it out of his glove. Damned lights..... ya gotta watch 'em like a hawk !! I tried that once. Everything looked quite odd after I finally took my eyes off em.
  16. I'm glad to see that your fantasy team is more important than loyalty. How do you sleep at night? Actually I'm just holding on to Pujols for a while to make the cardinals fans easier to pillage in a trade. But I'm not about to root for him when it might make a difference in the game if he were to do well.
  17. Somebody should make a list of all the people Morgan says are the best or most exciting at something, and show him all the times he contradicts himself at the end of the season. "Jose Reyes is the most exciting player in the game." "Carl Crawford is the most exciting player in the game." "Barry Bonds is the most exciting player in the game."
  18. With the lead the Mets have, it's time for Pujols to break out for the sake of my fantasy team.
  19. Wow, I didn't know Encarnacion was such a vital piece of the offense. I'm so happy these guys are here to straighten me out.
  20. Are you kidding me? Have you seen Molina's splits? vs. RHP - .217/.264/.328/.592 vs. LHP - .213/.296/.307/.603
