    Or maybe, just maybe, Ramirez is pretty good at baseball and happens to see Jackson's pitches well. Could be that considering he just hit one about 5 feet from going out. Ethier, not so much. Oh well.

    Is that the complete spaz that used to play for the Cardinals? Dude always had a great glove. Brendan something?

    Why are you going to off Barney? WHAT'D HE EVER DO TO YOU????????

    According to Brett at BN it was just an innings limit and there is no "injury". Just got DLed for roster space I would assume.

    He's not good, but this jam isn't his fault either.

    Man, Castro has to have dropped more balls like that in the last month than he has in the rest of his carrer combined.

    Hector Rondon is in, I think you may have to update that stat after this inning.
  8. mul21
    Well, I guess that's payback for Rizzo's rope getting caught last inning.

    I've got his legion of fans. It's cute that they think they can wear me down. They have no idea who they're [expletive] with, that much is for damn sure. Yeah, Kyle may not ever make a point, but he'll sure argue for hours and confuse the crap out of nearly anybody to the point they have no idea what the original argument was about. Wait a second, is Kyle a woman? :twisted:

    Pretty much. The guys it would take to get Price I would much rather move for an impact bat, Stanton specifically. Normally I'd completely agree with this, but with the guys in the pipeline projected to have plenty of power/offense and the system sorely lacking any impact/power arms in the upper minors, it makes me reconsider. Now, is Price the right guy? That I'm not sold on for the reasons TT mentions, but I'm much more inclined to trade assets for TOR pitching at this point than a bat, despite the top 4 minor leaguers being no guarantees.

    His latest on the Manilow vs. Hall and Oates question is either amazingly douchey or hilariously brilliant and I can't decide which.

    I just heard this too. Sounds like a first offense can't be punished with a fine greater than 25% of the player's weekly salary, so being paid the rookie minimum ($405K) he can't be fined more than $5,955 for this. Nice. Why should a player have to appeal just to get the league to follow its own rules, then? Because they're passing out fines based on some arbitrary set of guidelines they have in place that were made without taking player salaries into account. That's probably precisely why the union had that provision put into the CBA.

    Pedro's back with a brand new invention.

    While I agree you shouldn't write "resign" when meaning "re-sign", I believe that's a dictionary-level acceptable spelling Well, yeah, it's in the dictionary, but those two words mean completely different things. As do many other words.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homograph Many other words are homographs, but resign and re-sign are certainly not because they aren't written the same way. So, no, it's not acceptable (by any definition) because they're both written and pronounced differently.

    That draft day thread could end up being pretty hilarious. http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2013/04/26/arkush-phil-emery-just-blew-that-pick/ I was up in Chicago the first week of June and caught a show that Hub was on and he was blaming the lockout on PFW going under. This right here is probably a much more likely reason, on top of the fact that he comes off as a complete douche and people probably don't like him or want to help him.

    Defensive positioning? He seems to hit a lot of balls right at guys positioned in not quite normal spots in the OF.
  19. mul21
    What's the list of RB available at your spot with those keepers? That 2nd list looks good to me, but with that many points being put up by QBs, it's tough to leave yourself that few options when you have to start 2. Is it PPR? Do all QB TDs count for 6?

    Paul Sullivan has gone thorugh a few boxes of tissue over this news. Probably crying also =D>

    But wait, there's more! http://news.yahoo.com/lawsuit-details-brauns-efforts-fight-drug-test-173014311.html

    I'm going to choose to believe that this is the reason for the trade and they're planning on a Sweeney/Lake CF platoon to go with Schierholtz/whoever in RF to have an over all very productive OF.

    So the entire difference in their numbers is pretty much the 3 HBP for Puig.
  24. mul21
    Because it's expensive and destroys your entire Sunday.

    Man, those cherry picked stats are nice, but the guy's OPSed .800 once in his MiL career so far and is striking out 4 times for every walk. Throw in the errors and I'm not terribly optimistic. I hate agreeing with Kyle.
