    Is anybody else seeing Jack McKeon coming in after Baker gets the boot and running Juan Pierre, DLee, and our pitching staff into the playoffs?
  2. Rob
    So at the rate this season is going, I'm gonna burn through 2 bottles of bailey's a week...
  3. Rob
    I believe Ryan Doumit has been learning to play 1B recently. That would solve the three catcher conundrum they've been dealing with...
  4. Rob
    Are you forgetting about Eyre the other day?
  5. Rob
    These pitches are going right down the heart of the plate and Jerry's not doing a thing with them...
  6. Rob
    Had my hopes up a bit there.
  7. Rob
    You're thinking of Michael Fontenot. Interestingly enough, Fontenot and Theriot were the double play combo for Louisiana State's 2000 national champs.
  8. Rob
    Since we have until gametime to announce who is being sent down, any chance that we're in the process of finalizing a trade and it'll make an impact on who goes? Perhaps it's just wishful thinking, but this prolonged silence is somewhat odd.

    You just put yourself in a position where I'll love you for the rest of your life, or I'll hunt you down and kill you. Good luck to both of us, I guess!

    What's the difference between the Braves signing Andruw Jones to a huge contract and the Cubs signing him to a huge contract?...unless you're saying to get rid of guys when they reach a certain pay rate. Because the Braves can sign him to a huge, long-term contract at age 24 that takes him through his productive seasons. The Cubs would be signing him for the seasons where he starts getting worse and worse, as we didn't have the opportunity at age 24.

    1. Trade Pierre to a team in need of a "real" CF and leadoff man. Should be able to get 2 mid-tier prospects for him, or one very young prospect with a great ceiling and a high flameout rate. 2. Move Jacque to center. It should boost his value (and production relative to the league). At the end of the season, he'd be easily tradeable as a CF. And Pie could take over the next season. Be sure to hold on to Jacque until the end of the season though, as he wont get much in a trade in mid-season. 3. DFA Rusch and Bynum, option Novoa to AAA 4. Call up Sing or acquire a AAAA player to stick in right field. Bring up Ryu to use as the long man, Wuertz to the pen in middle relief. 5. Hold on to Neifi until some team loses their SS, and trade him off for a low-ceiling prospect. Theriot comes up as the replacement. 6. See about trading Maddux, perhaps back to the Braves to shore up their rotation. Draw the names of their prospects out of a hat, as if you think one you choose will do well outside their system, you're mistaken. I know there's more, I can't just think of it all off the top of my head...

    Koronka, too! They can keep Koronka if they'll take Bynum back... heck, I might even send another prospect out with him.
  13. Rob
    :shock: Macias had a .590 OPS last year IIRC. Bynum is at .474 right now.
  14. Rob
    Bynum for mayor of DFA town!
  15. Rob
    Bynum looked a bit out of sorts after that attempt...
  16. Rob
    I want to see Z pinch hitting!
  17. Rob
    Per Rotoworld: I can't decide whether to laugh or cry about that last line...
  18. Rob
    Ahhh, big glass full of Bailey's on the rocks. I'm better now. :wink:
  19. Rob
    This is exactly why I make a point to never run out of beer. But just for emergencies, I have a bunch of liquor bottles in my closet. I just bought a bottle of Bailey's tonight that I might start sipping on later. I'm setting up my absinthe. Why was Barrett on the phone? Oh, I haven't had the green fairy in ages... brings back some fond memories. Edit: Where do you find that stuff around here?

    I thought he had that one. He did have that one... the ump just didn't notice.
  22. Rob
    He is terrible. Easily the biggest mistake of Hendry's tenure. That remains to be seen. Hawkins was a bust, Macias, Neifi, and Rusch have all been brought in under this regime... Estes too.
  23. Rob
    Hey, he'd be pretty fast for a backup catcher.
  24. Rob
    Well crapcakes... On the bright side of things, if this game gets to the 32nd inning, we'll have another run.
  25. Rob
    That was worse than the first pitch, but somehow it was a strike...
