  1. So I finally saw the video of the incident. I'll sum it up for those of you who may not have seen it. Encarnacion acted as though he fouled a pitch back after he made contact. It was obvious he didn't know where the ball was. Somebody probably shouted something to get his attention because he started looking in the air to find the ball. I was under the impression he just threw a fit and didn't want to run.

  3. This is what happens when you ask a guy who's already thrown 110 pitches if he wants to go back out. What 22 year old is going to say no?
  4. The Dawson's Creek one, "I don't wanna wait, for our lives to be over..."? Not Sarah McLachlan, that was Paula Cole.
  5. This is Colvin's first game batting since game number 1 right? If so, that's a great very, very early start-5 for 6 with 2 SB and 1 HR. No, he played both games yesterday, going 1/7 with a double and K. I love the Sizemore comparison. My guess is Colvin would have to severely overachieve to be Sizemore. I see him at his best as a perfect median between Mark Kotsay and Sizemore. I'd take that.
  6. Boise roster full?
  7. One of them will end up with the Yankees in the ARod deal.
  8. 50 for 50 with 70 home runs? More like 60 homers tops.
  9. Guys drop all the time becuase of signability issues. It's not like scouts didn't know about him. Wilken didn't find him bailing hay in Backass Nebraska. The Cubs gave him first round money and then some. I guess it all depends on one's defention of "steal". Anyway, let's wait until he has pitched a day in the majors to call him a steal. It's a huge farming community, I wouldn't be surprised if we found a few more there. So far it may seem like Samalamadingdong was a steal because of the tools he possesses, but you're right that he still has to do something about it. Had he just signed a contract similar to those drafted around him, he just might be a steal already. He's got a lot of money to earn.
  10. You are wise beyond your years.
  11. 7 AT BATS! And oddly enough, right around what can be expected of him over the course of the entire season.
  12. Did any of them bother to notice that Murton has a 375 OBP while in the 2nd spot yet Jones has spent twice as much time there?
  13. Why? A batter should at least jog to first. It seems that Encarnacion didn't even do that. Believe it or not, fly balls and popups get dropped occasionally, and if you want to send a message to your team, now (early in the year) is the time to do it. Yes. There isn't a lot that irritates me more than seeing someone throwing a fit over popping up and not running it out.
  14. I did a GIS for "puffy taco", and I was really surprised at the results (even with the filter off). Need to get my mind out of the gutter, I guess.
  15. My guess is they both end up around 30.
  16. Haha! McGwire has huge puffy nipples now, but they're not man puffy nipples.
  17. Haha! McGwire has huge boobs now, but they're not man boobs.
  18. You realize it's not pronounced that way, right?
  19. I always liked America. Really? I was born in 1984. :lol: I was smoking 2 packs a day by then.
