    Yeah, but Girardi has ties to the area and may be sick of NYC. He's a guy who it would make sense for. Somebody like Maddon or Freddi Gonzales, yeah, those would be much tougher sells.

    Because that's all the NFL experience he has for you to judge him on? I mean, I understand if you don't think he'll be all that great because you think he lacks vision or can't catch the ball or whatever, but you certainly didn't expound enough for anybody to know that.

    And for people who care about evaluating a front office, its gives a pretty clear-cut break for the new Cleveland front office to no longer be able to blame the old one, since they have a ton of picks this year. Now they have no excuse to be terrible next season and should be competitive in 2015, otherwise these guys are terrible at their job. As QB centric as the NFL has become, combined with the fact that the Browns don't have one, gives them a small out. If they're not as terrible as Jacksonville and don't get Bridgewater, who do they go after and when do they pick a QB?

    Hurdle, Matheny, Francona, Melvin, Showalter, Girardi A serious question: Mike Scioscia? He probably will be available. I wanted Girardi when we hired Svuem. I'll take him now. Dear god, no I'm asking because I don't know much about him. What's Scioscia's problem? He's west coast Ryno.

    The Broncos one is funny with the lion's mane. I didn't like the Steelers, GB, Chargers, Giants, and Cowboys.

    I think I may need a Treymon MS Paint rendering of this to fully understand it.

    They had an 8 game winning streak in the last 2 weeks that did most of the work. Too bad it's probably too late for them to catch the Reds unless Cincy completely tanks or the Nats just stop losing at all. Hopefully the Pirates can put a nail in the Reds coffin with 6 games left against them. That would serve an awesome dual purpose in knocking out the Reds and maybe pushing the Cards into a WC spot.

    http://filmdope.com/Gallery/ActorsC/4031-10931.jpg Touché I... who the F*** is that? I'm pretty sure that's the illiterate chick from A League of their Own who couldn't tell if she was on a roster or not. If I'm right, I don't get the joke.

    Has he changed something significant? His K and BB numbers are down pretty noticeably this year.
  11. mul21
    No, and neither will anybody else because that's not what happened.
  12. mul21
    Must've forgotten he's not playing in front of TBFIB anymore.

    I don't disagree, but the AFC is somehow 5-1 against the NFC in head to head this year. The one NFC win is the Bears over the Bengals. Chiefs over Cowboys Chargers over Eagles Broncos over Giants Jets over Buccaneers Bills over Panthers Somehow = playing the consistently overrated NFC East teams, plus Tampa being a mess. That, and 3 of those 5 losses happened when the losing team completely crapped the bed in the final minutes of the game.

    Listening to Waddle and Silvy and there's some serious gushing about Jay by the national media. Hasselbeck this morning on Mike and Mike and Jaws both had some really high praise for him, especially the game winning throw.

    No, that's what he and Hill projected out be as prospects before showing they were not capable of that. Hill was a 3 pitch pitcher with an average to below average fastball and a below average change. He was never viewed as a top of the rotation guy as a ceiling, more like 3-4 if everything worked out. Marshall was similar with a slightly better fastball and ceiling. Really, because people(media not fans) were picking him to win the Cy Young his rookie year and having that type of talent. http://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/2007/3/5/11735/47786 sounds like a 5 to me.... That guy seems reliable. 4 guys who never did anything significant in the majors and a washed up old guy. Seems like a solid source to me.

    You realize you're killing your own arguments here right? Wood didn't come up in the Cubs system and was a fringy 4-5 type guy when we got him. Samardzija was a guy with a live arm and no experience when he was drafted and there was hope he could become a useful arm. He got that contract because if they didn't pay him, he would be playing in the NFL right now. Also, go take a look at the date of Garza's first start and then tell me he was pitching well this spring. I'll help: he started 3 games and pitched 16 innings before June 1st.
  17. mul21
    Yep, a little pressure from the front four will solve all the issues. They don't even need to be great, just not giving the other team 5-6 seconds to throw every time they drop back.

    Schiano is such a redass I really kind of enjoy seeing him lose games in this fashion.
  19. mul21
    Yeah, what the hell was that? I don't think I've ever seen a player that wide open in the end zone at the end of a game.

    This Sumlin cat might be able to coach a little bit.

    It's ... odd ... I guess. I really love Edwards, but I feel like he's getting slightly over-hyped. Heck, I'm still not sure I buy the argument that, in terms of rankings, Edwards should be ahead of Pierce Johnson, and I don't think Pierce is in anyone's consensus top 10 pitching prospect. Would you feel the same way if Edwards was 6'4" and 200 lbs?
  22. mul21
    You were saying? I have no idea why he's not in the game right now. 79 pitches through 7 innings seems like a guy who's pretty well prepared to start the 8th considering he's averaged less than 12 pitches per inning. Dale is so dumb when it comes to pitching changes.
  23. mul21
    And you're still wrong.

    This is seriously the worst analogy ever. Tanaka is nothing like a 25 yr old at AAA. He's a guy who has consistently gotten out hitters at a level much higher than AAA (see LaHair, Brian). It may not be ML equivalent, but it's a hell of a lot more indicative of future performance than AAA and with a much longer track record of doing it than anyone at AAA has.

    They are ending their marketing partnership, but that doesn't mean they won't still sell Old Style at the ballpark. 312 is a decent enough beer, but I would really miss Old Style if they don't offer it anymore. I sure as hell won't be drinking Bud or Bud Light. I have no idea how you can be all beer snobby (i use the term VERY loosely here) about bud or bud light and then be heartbroken about old style. wtf. Because they're both terrible and Old Style has a some tradition at the park along with being less terrible. I always have an OS when I go to Wrigley just because. Bud and Bud Light and Miller Lite are all awful beers I avoid at all costs. I will admit some fondness for Bud Light Lime on a hot summer day though, especially if you're on the water or at a beach.
