    You just made my day. This is avatar worthy. Would you mind?

    Lee would be a big upgrade in LF, but I can't help thinking that trading Murton will haunt us for a long time.
  3. Balsa
    I know I'm gonna get crap for this, but I'd rather have Murton than Matsui. I mean, if you're gonna go after Matsui, why not just go all out and get Cabrera? Sure, he'd be more expensive, but Matsui is old.

    This is what I expect Hendry to do this offseason: *Offer Pierre a two-year deal worth about $8.5 a year. *Go after Soriano to play 2nd Base *Claim Carlos Lee is overpriced (which he will be) *Leave Murton in LF, and Jones in RF *Sign some pitchers or something *Probably trade Cedeno and keep Izturis

    Plus, Veal is LEFT-HANDED! :P

    Man, all this coporate involvement in baseball makes me sick. The luxury boxes, the fancy seats in the bleachers, the on-field practice before games, it just makes me really, really sick to be a "common" fan.

    I agree that this is the difference maker, and that Pie needs AT LEAST another half-year down at AAA. I want to see him strike out a bit less, and give him more time to develop.
  8. Balsa
    Thanks buddy.

    Although the steal needs some clarification in the minds of managers, I think the bunt sacrifice needs even more. I just can't stand it when I see Ronny or someone lay down a bunt with nobody out and a man on first. EDIT: Exception being the pitcher of course.

    I can't really support Pie being on there, but I definitely vote for Veal. He's been doing great!

    Hey anyone know where I can get month-by-month stats of minor league players for free?
  12. Balsa
    That's ok Fred. I just wanted do demonstrate my knowledge of the trucking system. Which I think I accomplished by saying 'humper'. :P I don't seriously want it as a job. It doesn't sound like something I'd enjoy at all. Although I am still looking for jobs for next year (in case anyone has a good offer)
  13. Balsa
    Wow, that's not gonna increase his payroll next year. I hope he's alright. It just wouldn't be the same without being able to heckle Edmonds from the bleachers.

    The Astros have been playing above their heads ever since Beltran left for free agency imo. Berkman is good, but he can't carry the team alone.
  15. Balsa
    That would make me so happy....I'd have no words.
  16. Balsa
    Bakers isn't all of the problem, but extending him is no kind of solution. If he's back, I'll be pissed. He has no idea how to fill out a lineup card, and if you disagree, only go back to when Neifi batted second.
  17. Balsa
    Hey Fred, do you load your own trucks or do you use humpers? Do you know how I could get a job regarding the latter?
  18. Balsa
    We got this one.
  19. Balsa
    I heard this too, and immediately hoped he had some source other than just conjecture.
  20. Balsa
    ETA before it's on YouTube?
  21. Balsa
    WTG O'Malley! What a way to start your MLB career!!!!! Makes me so happy! :o :o :o :o :o
  22. Balsa
    Just guessing, in no particular order: Chris Carpenter Jake Peavy Pedro Martinez John Smoltz Roger Clemens Although I'm not sure I'd trade Z for any of these guys.
  23. Balsa
    What a fun game. I love these marathon games.
  24. Balsa
    They have talent.

    Hawkins gave up the 3-run, game tying home run to Diaz with two outs in the 9th. Some no-name hit the game-winning home run off Mercker in the 11th. God that game sucked. I remember watching it in NY right before my aunt's wedding. The announcers were just saying how he hadn't hit a homerun in Shea or something....That just crushed me. And, I guess, the Cubs.
