    Hopefully they end up just buying the property.

    It is when the new hideous ad space provides money that can be spent on the team.

    Sexy Rexy signed a 1-year deal with Washington.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    Good. If it brings more money to the team and blocks out the hideous ad roof I'm all for it.
  5. Sammy Sofa
    So then why do you keep bringing up the idea of him teaching guys how to bunt?
  6. Sammy Sofa
    SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

    There is a reason that the stats for his August posted here did NOT include HRs, RBI and RISP. Go look that up! The man had 40 HRs in July and ended with 49. You like 9 HRs in 2 and a 1/2 months from your franchise multi gazillion $ slugger? He hit worse after he got his "protection" from Holiday. He hit 13 home runs after July. He also only hit 4 in July, whereas he hit 7 in August. July was actually his "worst" month last year (Only a .900 OPS, NO!!!!!!) by far, yet you keep insisting like he "fell off" AFTER that month. He also had more hits, doubles and RBI's in August than in July.

    Most people kept right on "hating on" him because he cost way too damn much. The value of a 5th starter is pretty quickly negated when they're vastly overpaid.

    You're mixing up optimism with the hand of death.
  10. Sammy Sofa
    I think we have to wait and see. Today was definitely encouraging, but I think it's overstating things to lump his start prior to this latest one in as looking as good. Yeah, it was a drastic improvement to that disaster of a first start, but he still got pretty lucky. I don't think any of us can really say what this last start potentially means at this point.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    Well, that's not a fact. That's just, like, your opinion, man.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    Maybe WSR is the kiss of death for these prospects. Colvin's days are numbered.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    that's not really true. his xFIP's with the twins were 4.45, 3.94, 4.81 and 4.54. he was pretty close to league average in 2004 and 2007, above average in 2005 and below average in 2006. it wasn't until he got to seattle that he became truly terrible. It's mainly those WHIPs scaring the crap out of me.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    Thank God. Our long national nightmare is finally over. I hope he beats the holy [expletive] out of everyone else in it.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    I agree. It has been firmly established that at least 50% of the 90's list are not good Best Pictures.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    This is very debatable. Yeah, it would be fantastic if Silva somehow figured things out, but it just doesn't seem very likely given his age, the type of pitcher he is and his lack of success in the majors to this point. He's really only got one year where he wasn't terrible, and it's not like that one year sticks out as some impressive feat of what could be (he pitched about 6 games fewer than his other full seasons, and his last couple games that year he was horrendous, so so who knows how that year would look with at least 5-6 more starts). Yes, it would be great if he could get back to those 2005 levels. It's just very unlikely.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    STOP BEING SO NEGATIVE, MAN.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Actually I expect people to offer something more then the above. But at least I don't embarrass myself like you so often do and have done in this thread. Why are you so Angry? Do you need a hug? This is getting creepy. I'm also not sure how I "embarassed" myself in this thread simply because I don't agree with your declaration that all of the movies that won Best Picture in the 90's are better than the ones that did in the 00's.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    I said why I don't think they belong on the list in terms of arguing how the films in the 90's were so much better. To me both films are ridiculously over the top and basically little more than silly cartoons in their respective genres. Both are entertaining and, like I said, I don't think they're bad films, but I don't see how they prove that movies were better in the 90's. One relies on an absurd, comic book-esque super villain who's just an excuse for Hopkins to chew the scenery like someone starving to death and the other has the emotional depth of a Hallmark Card. Of course a ton of people are going to love movies like that. It doesn't actually make them great. Unclench and stop expecting people to agree with you, you freak. You really think everyone is going to agree when you basically say something like how Driving Miss Daisy is "arguably better than most, if not all, of the films of the '00."
  20. Sammy Sofa
    I confused myself with my own rage and bile.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Who said he'd be better than either of those guys? And you do realize that the things you're harping on are taught in the minors, right? Do you actually think guys have no idea how to do things like drag bunt or shorten their swing until they encounter a hitting coach in the majors? What the [expletive] do you think a hitting coach in the majors does?
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Silence of the Lambs simply is not a great film. It's not bad, but it's pretty ridiculous and cartoon-y. Hell, I'd describe Forrest Gump the same way.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    And I'd prefer Byrd hitting second.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    If Soriano and Soto bounce back I assume they'll move up in the lineup since keeping them behind Byrd at that point would be beyond moronic.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    What the [expletive] are you babbling about? Pujols in Sept./Oct.: .357 .440 .616 1.056 Pujols in August: .319 .443 .649 1.092 If they ended up trading Pujols it's not going to be only for a vastly overrated and hugely flawed slugger whose contract is up at the same time.
