Injuries, a perceived decline in performance and if I remember correctly, some sort of "clutchiness" issue in the playoffs. Plus, they equate him to the dismal post-NLCS run they have been on. Wright and Reyes are the faces of this franchise and every year there is talk about trading one or both and moving on or trying to hold it together. I also think there are personality issues, maybe he's said some things they think make him look weak. Not sure exactly. Perceived? Yes. That ballpark is AIDS to RH batters. If he's healthy he's hitting.

Spitball me how much of that SportsService takes because they're the company that actually buys and supplies the beer. So how much does the team actually make on that?

He came back for the playoffs but missed the last month of the season.

He really should. His wife is very sick.

Thank God! Press conference on MLB.com right now. MLB Network as well.

Hadn't looked at K/BB, Greinke is definitely a lot better there. The career numbers are a decent amount closer (3.48 to 2.16), however, and Wilson has improved both his K/9 and BB/9 from year one to year two. Greinke will remain better than Wilson in that area, I'm sure, but it'll be interesting to see if Wilson continues to improve on those numbers into next year. I also wonder what Greinke did differently this year, as he had his best K/9 ratio of his career, by nearly a full strikeout over 2009. Changed leagues. He faced a pitcher 48 times, struck them out 29 times and walked none.

Now 6-18 and has completed one pass to a WR.

The Saints scored 6 more points last week than the Rams have on the season.

And didn't brutally murder him? Color me unimpressed.

It's not been finalized. Cubs and Sox still working on it and Theo said a third party (Bud presumably) could get involved. backtobanks is excited

Well silly us, that's obviously public knowledge and we must be ignorant for not knowing. It is and has been for years and yes.

Baseball purist my ass. HE USES A COMPUTER

The man is more obsessed with lenses than Ben Franklin.

I really hate that you guys now have a GM with a clue.

3rd inning - Wilson had given up 2 runs in 2 innings. Furcal on 2nd with 0 out. Allen Craig, who had an OPS of 1.000 vs LHP this year sacrifice bunts. Run expectancy with a runner on 2nd and 0 outs - 1.102. Run expectancy with a runner on 3rd and 1 out - 0.943. 5th inning - Schumaker and Punto reach with 0 outs. Furcal, who is batted leadoff and thus guaranteed to get more PA than any other player, sacrifice bunts. Run expectancy with 1st and 2nd 0 outs - 1.476. Run expectancy with 2nd and 3rd 1 out - 1.380. 7th inning - Craig walks with 1 out. Craig gets caught stealing 2nd to "avoid the double play." With a man on 1st Pujols grounded into a double play 13% of the time this year. He got on base 39% of the time. He managed to not ground into double play 87% of the time. 8th inning - Yadi leadoff single. Theriot pinch hits for Schumaker to sacrifice bunt. The bunt is the right play in this situation (maybe, Yadi might be the slowest guy in MLB) but using Theriot burns 2 players simply to bunt, Theriot and Jay. Bottom 8 - Rzeprdohkjbsd pitches to Napoli. Right handed batters have an OPS 200+ points higher than lefties against Rzerihsdjb and Napoli has an OPS 100+ points higher against lefties than righties. Lance Lynn (RHB hit him almost 300 points lower than Rzepisdfhgjk) was warm and was brought in to face the next hitter, who is intentionally walked, and is pulled. 9th inning - Craig caught stealing again representing the tying run with the best hitter on the planet batting. TLR is just [expletive] horrible.

2004 Murderers Throw

I can't wait for the spin. broncos haven't been shut out in an NFL record 298 straight games. The Dolphins are winless and Tebow had abye week to prepare. No idea how this can be spun.

Major Wright is out

She should have been hired as a GM a long time ago. Been an Assistant GM since 1997.

2006 Game 1 is the lowest watched game 1, but both 2008 and 2010 had lower overall ratings than 2006.

Yeah, it's pretty awesome.

Vikings named Ponder the starter for this week.

I can't stop watching it.
