  1. Haha I had forgotten all about that ?? http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=f9e_1183420047
  2. Again, he doesn't have a 30-year old SP's typical wear and tear. Far below it. You can't just toss his age out there like he's a typical SP in that regard.
  3. I don't care either way. The "strategy" as it stands right now translates to little more than "welp, I can breathe easy, the 7-9 hitters are up" or "durrrrr, me do double switch now and then be hailed as genius when me completely and randomly luck out."
  4. So, what, he's going to flip out and leap out of the dugout and start waving guys home? Lee Elias playground confirmed this. How dare you.

  6. Not really, they will have to do without it as much as we will have to endure it (depending on the balpark). There's no more DH than there was before, thank God. Maybe they'll look at finally getting rid of it and getting back to real baseball. Nah, you're in serious denial if you're thinking the bold part.
  7. I'm interested in Prince Fielder. For uncool reasons.
  8. More interleague...hello everyone having the DH. About damn time, too.
  9. Which seems much more reflective in his FA signings than most of his trades.
  10. To a degree. It's not like they have a flawless track record. And were you really nervous with trade rumors when it came Hendry? That was an area where he was good at his job most of the time.
  11. It was the sports central Anchor, schanowski It was more a general slam against Buerhle and Kaplan than the other zilches on Comcast. Understood. I just think Schanowski gets away with a lot of the same stupidity as the others just by not banging it over everybody's head so much. But if you listen to his reports it's clear he thinks Zambrano, Ramirez and Soriano all suck and that it would be absurd to even think of any of them contributing something positive to the team. I really can't think of anyone there who isn't a meatball at least most of the time.
  12. I don't recall an in-depth article about him specifically, but it was reported that was one of his major duties with the Red Sox over the years. It was mentioned in passing here: http://www.weei.com/sports/boston/baseball/red-sox/alex-speier/2011/10/31/why-dale-sveum-candidate-manage-red-sox And then here's the iPad advertisement/article that did a good job getting us all excited about the idea: http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/6908844/information-age-changing-way-game-played *BOI-OI-OI-OINNNNNNG*
  13. You mean World Series winner Ryan Theriot?
  14. I should put a website up real quick and post an article that the Cubs have informed me that Alomar will be the next manager. I have a 25% chance of being right and nothing to lose. What was that one NSBB spinoff site with a forum that included all Chicago sports? Lets do it on that. I heard on Lee Elia's Playground that they've hired Maddux.
  15. It was the sports central Anchor, schanowski It was more a general slam against Buerhle and Kaplan than the other zilches on Comcast.
  16. If Ricketts knows seems like someone could leak the damned choice. [expletive] no. Ricketts runs a badass organization.
  17. And I'm sure their logic amounts to basically the same thing I've heard on the radio; that he's thrown both a no-hitter and a perfect game.
  18. Buerhle is the kind of player that Kaplan pleasures himself to.
