    It must be all that molasses he was chugging.
  2. Rob
    Nice play by Ronnie. Why were we staring at Pierre during the hit?
  3. Rob
    If Eckstein had cracked that five foot tall barrier before he got to the big leagues, he woulda had that.
  4. Rob
    I'm surprised Ponson isn't a better defender. You'd think he'd gobble up everything that goes over his plate.
  5. Rob
    My jaw dropped to the floor when he said that...
  6. Rob
    Oh! Thanks! I forgot I needed to throw my beer in the fridge.
  7. Rob
    I don't think we can answer that due to the insane injury concerns for each player. We have no idea on how much power Rolen has retained, or how much to dock Aramis for because of his legs...

    First off, don't pick up Barmes. His numbers last year look better than they should because he got injured right after his hot streak. Kept his season numbers from regressing to the mean, even if his talent level still isn't that high. Barmes just wont be worth more than Crosby or Hardy. As for Hardy, he should be pretty good this season. Last I heard, he was gonna be batting in the 2 hole, with pretty good hitters up and down that lineup. He should score quite a few runs. But Crosby will outperform both easily when he's healthy.

    Man, he got hammered hard. Yeah, I was listening to it on the radio. It sounded like the Yankees hitters were just zeroing in on the ball the second it left his hand.
  10. Rob
    No lineups yet, but Bartolo Colon left the game in the 3rd inning after giving up 8 runs.
  11. Rob
    In most cases, no. But most fans wont start actively booing a player until it's gotten so bad that it's beyond a doubt they aren't earning their keep. Granted some fans are spoiled rotten and would boo the likes of ARod, but most will wait for the fruitless flailing of Corey Patterson before letting the boo birds out. In those cases, I think fan emotion speaks wonders for what needs to be done. I'm sorry, was I implying I've been booing the man? I don't recall saying it, but I may have misled you unintenionally. I'm not booing Jacque Jones. I can just see why people are.
  12. Rob
    vote with dollars And how would that let Jim Hendry know what we're upset about? Maybe we really wanted Furcal. Maybe we don't like the Jones signing. Maybe we don't like the Eyre signing. Maybe we don't like Brandon Sing making the team. For better or worse, this is the easiest way to push our opinions accross.
  13. Rob
    This is an entertainment industry. Hendry's signing of Jones is not good entertainment. As paying customers, we have the right to express our thoughts on subpar goods. Now perhaps booing Jones for getting the contract isn't appropriate, but it's the only readily available mode of recourse we have to express ourselves.

    If what you say is true, then Baylor was nothing like Weaver. Like him with the home runs, not like him with the sacs. Can you please tell me how many games you've watched that Weaver managed? What are your sources of Weaver's managing style? I'm just curious to how much you really know about Weaver. On that note, I highly recommend reading "Weaver on Strategy"
  15. Rob
    Well that will help us since Milwaukee hasn't lost. But then we have to play the Pirates.
  16. Rob
    Yeah, but now the Twins are holding onto Justin Jones, who is looking healthy by the way...
  17. Rob
    He's reminding me more and more of Roger Cedeno everyday. At least Corey wasn't so dramatically overpaid...
  18. Rob
    Let's go Jacquestrap!
  19. Rob
    Bribe me.
  20. Rob
    .286/.412./.514 That's JD Drew's line from last year... even accounting for his 0-25 slump to start the season. There's still hope for JJ, even if he is no JD.
  21. Rob
    At least Z is leading off next inning. He should give Lee somebody to bat in.
  22. Rob
    Ya know, watching Lee steal made me wonder about JJ's true level of speed. Ron Gardenhire never liked sending people unless he really had to. So then I got to thinking what Jones might be capable of stealing with Dusty trying to run this team to the postseason. I came up with an estimated zero steals. He'd have to be getting on base first.
  23. Rob
    Wow, Aramis tried to headbutt that pitch.
  24. Rob
    I didn't know anybody actually uses that...
  25. Rob
    Sorry, trying to fill out job applications. Aramis must be cold.
