    Jesus, Tom; I'm just speculatin' on a hypothesis.

    Does he have to fall of a cliff for this to be a terrible contract? He doesn't have to pull a soriano. If he's merely above average for his position for 6-8 years of the contract, was it a bad deal? For it to be terrible? Yes. I mean, you can declare this to be a "bad deal" pretty much regardless of what he actually puts up because it was essentially impossible for him to be worth all of the money/years regardless of this slow start. The Angels obviously would have been aware of that. Singing him goes beyond just stacking his performance vs. his contract.

    The dazzling insights of Crack Wilson are too important to be banished to the game threads about the games he's talking about.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    There's reasons for concern, but as the article points out if anyone can adjust changes like this it's arguably the best hitter of all time. It's not like the guy wasn't able to effectively compensate last year; why would he just suddenly fall off of a cliff after succeeding despite these changes last season?
  5. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, his approach at the plate has gone in the crapper. You used to never see Albert expand his zone, now he does it with regularity. There is the possibility that he is pressing so far this season because of the contract, but that still doesn't explain last season. His approach is a huge part of what has made Pujols great and if what we have seen from him since the beginning of last year is indicative of what he has become, the Angels are going to wear that contract. This isn't bad luck, he's simply not the same player at the plate right now. You guys are reading that entire article, right? It's point IS that he's likely a different player, but not that that definitely means he's a bad one. I mean, the author even goes out of his way to end it like this:

    Never.

    He probably found them in the toilet.

    Eat balls, Pacers; eat ALL of the balls.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    Holy [expletive], I love this.
  10. Sammy Sofa
    Why? You keep saying "look for a big year from so-and-so" and "expect big things from this guy," and not really providing any reasons why besides they look to be in good shape and they're the Yankees.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    ... When has a team ever NOT celebrated a walk-off win?
  12. Sammy Sofa
    Meh. It's an older team with guys like Jeter, Granderson and Swisher hitting out of their minds to start the season. "The whole team looks like everyone is the best shape of their lives" means exactly diddly squat, especially when you're talking about so many starting position players past their peak. Their team OPS is a good 80 points higher right now than what they managed the last two years.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    Hahahahahahaah!! Soto's face is killing me.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    Lies! A 12-pitch LaHair walk is a rare thing. It's like spotting the Loch Ness Monster with a winning lottery ticket in its mouth as you get struck by lightning. Savor it!
  15. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, I kinda just assumed they were going to win after that amazing LaHair AB.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    The [expletive]? It's basically the same lineup they've been putting out there for the last two seasons plus Martin.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, this is when I really don't care how bad the team is; wins like this are always fun.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Jesus Christ, Garza is just dying to shaving cream-bomb everyone.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    That was [expletive] fun.

    Channel 10 on Comcast in Chicago, but it's not on the channel listings.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    What channel is this game on? All I have on Comcast are the stupid Blackhawks and their stupid dumb hockey for jerks.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    NEVER TELL ME THE ODDS.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Garcia's a leftie, so of course LaHair isn't in there. Out of who is left is basically a toss-up as to whether you bat Soriano or Soto 4th.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    more like walt jr's blowed up challenger [expletive]. That's perfect.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    Walter White's Aztek.
