    if we had drafted Snider the hitting instructors would have changed his swing to limit strikeouts and he'd most likely suck its probably time to just move on already

    Kitna being Kitna and GB capitalizes, this ones in the bag

    Calvin Johnson's incredibly elusive for someone who's 6'5

    McCarthy is absolutely dismal at playing with the lead. he did the same thing last week going into hyper-conservative playcalling mode against the Vikings.

    i don't think his mechanics were ever questionable. the concerns over his health were obviously that he doesn't have the ideal height of a pitcher. Webb winning the CY would be a travesty. voters aren't going to have any qualms giving it to a pitcher on a bad team in the AL; i'm hoping Lincecum gets the same courtesy.

    lastings millege is unimpressed with this guys conquests

    he got stronger as the game went on, understandable given the layoff he hung around 90 with his FB as opposed to his usual 92; doesn't seem like too big a deal to me

    will they ever learn?

    strange, because if i had a career .397 OBP i'd want everybody to be aware of the stat subtly drop it into the conversation where it doesn't really apply

    FELIX!

    haha an emo band in your avatar that's funny

    That was Rolen. yeah i see now you're right. oops

    i actually vaguely remember Pujols sac bunting a runner to 3rd against us in like 2004. Farns walkoff BBed in the winning run if i'm remembering right. dumb play regardless.

    Dickerson HRs here i bet you

    well if all they need to do is roll up their sleeves that sounds like an easy enough thing to do, wonder why nobody ever noticed that in the past

    as much as i hate to dignify any of PCPs posts, what are pessimists trying to argue? if you've got a ballclub who wins at a .600 clip, is that unsatisfactory without consistency? are we of the mindset that consistency is an achievable dream and the team can go 3-2 in every 5 game stretch? or are we considerably more talented than just a .600 team? i really don't get any of this. nobody was complaining about inconsistency when we had long winning streaks. wow i used that word pretty often in this post; now i feel like http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:r76UuKpceq3q9M:http://i.a.cnn.net/si/2005/writers/richard_deitsch/10/20/morgan.website/tx_joemorgan_all.jpg

    if you get the bunt down, win exp goes from .438 to .477 the problem is i don't trust Soto at all for that

    the first three are every week starters; dont overreact to Forte's big day vs an undersized D this is the right thinking, though it looks like Hightower is vulturing James' TDs. I still like him better for yardage than Ocho.
  20. sneakypower
    there are like 7 options better than giving K-Rod $75m
  21. sneakypower
    torres toast

    Turner looked good, but the Lions had some terribly inept tackling on display all afternoon. There were wide lanes for both RBs to run through; who would have thought Rogers' loss would leave them extremely light on the line? Not Millen & Marinelli, I guess.

    well he was the director of baseball development in 2004-05, so i guess he inherited it from himself. you're really missing the point on this; it's not a lifetime achievement award.
  24. sneakypower
    it'd be nice to have 1 sacrificial "overreact to something stupid a beat writer printed" thread so we could confine all madness to a singular place i'd learn to avoid

    he behaviored his way out of town. obviously i'm aware of his transgressions; it doesn't really justify selling a player at rock bottom value. his talent was still immense and the player compensation was ineffectual so why not give him a shot in RF with the opening there and if he does more knucklehead crap to cause a distraction you can release him with no harm done. it never made a lot of sense. i hate this criteria, because it basically gives no reward to a gm who has built his team cost-effectively through the farm system. i think a more reasonable guideline would be to give the award to the general manager who has done the best job of putting together the 2007 ballclub, rather than the general manager who has done the most in the past calendar year to put that team together. and he still inherited most of their young talent. Garza and Pena were great moves, as well as the reworking of the bullpen, but there have been other GMs who've done even better jobs in that timeframe.
