    [Judge Smail's voice]Don't you have a JOB[/Judge Smail] yep, in an office in NY that has a tv that gets the Mets network.

    Exactly. What happened to Jewel was a travesty. Are we so mindless that we should repeat these same mistakes over & over again? Ridiculous... Big difference discussing government and businesses. Corporations can't afford to be so careless. Still, the rare Jewel case doesn't compare to the not very rare legit sexual harrassment case that goes nowhere.

    You have no idea the lenghts to which big business goes to before making a move like this. I do. I've seen it. It is highly unlikely that this is an unjustifiable termination. It's not worth it to them to risk the trouble. You have to go above and beyond to make a move like that. And neither do you. The individual cases you have witnessed can not be blanket-applied to every situation. You know that. I've seen more than just a couple cases, and I've talked at length with lawyers in the field.

    Mets announcers are shocked that Prior is having control issues. They have to do some better homework. Walks should be expected right now.
  5. goonys evil twin
    What?? They showed the bullpen, and a left handed pitcher named Wagner was throwing in the bullpen.

    His biggest control problems have been with leadoff guys, which tells me he's having an issue repeating his delivery after sitting down.

    Not true at all. His comments usually run right in line with his actions. That's why we react to them. If the Cubs led the league in walks and he talked about clogging the bases, I wouldn't care. If they were a high scoring team with a solid staff and he talked about the stuff he talks about, it wouldn't matter. But they do all the things wrong, and he defends it with his gibberish.

    Billy Wagner is warming up in the bullpen. :scratch:

    At first I thought that was an easy out, then I thought it would drop, but Beltran made it there. Nice play, had to take the perfect route and go all out the whole way.
  11. goonys evil twin
    ... and also no ...... uh...... er........ hit batsmen. Yeah, that's it..... No hit batsmen !! If you are worried about the jinx, don't. He's at 53 thru 3 and would be lucky to finish 6 today.
  12. goonys evil twin
    I've only seen a few, on CSNY they are showing 92. Prior has been inconsistent with location. They helped him a little, but that's probably because he's thrown some right down the middle as well. No hits thru 3 against this lineup says something. Maybe not a lot, but something.
  13. goonys evil twin
    that'll do it.
  14. goonys evil twin
    key at bat here. Got to get out Chavez and not allow Beltran to bat with men on.
  15. goonys evil twin
    The pitcher is walking guys, the leadoff man got caught stealing after that walk, the Cubs only have 1 hit, guys are putting it in play for easy weak outs. They're still here. goony.... sometimes you're about as much fun as root canal work ! :wink: :jocolor:
  16. goonys evil twin
    Enough with this stuff already.
  17. goonys evil twin
    That was a strangley hit ball. No way to fault Walker or Cedeno for the non-DP.

    This doesn't happen all that frequently. Far less frequently than people who get away with constant sexual harrassment.
  20. goonys evil twin
    We have enough holes already. Why move one of the best offensive catchers in the game? I realize his game calling and defense aren't stellar, but this team needs consistent bats. The trade would make sense if you fill another hole, and found a way to get decent production from the new catcher. You aren't necessarily creating new holes in a trade, as long as you get back something good and have follow-up moves. As for consisten bats, Barrett generally only plays 70% of the team's games. Which means he's not consistently in the lineup and you have to find the production elsewhere. I'd rather get similar production from a player that plays everyday.
  21. goonys evil twin
    If you don't know, the rest of us probably don't. :wink: I was gonna say, sounds like a job for Fred.

    If it wasn't for the expectations people have from his recent struggles, you'd have thought it was regular Prior. 1K, 1 baserunner, 0 hard hit balls. Ageed! I still think Prior will be back to his old self next year... I have my doubts, but I think he can.

    That was a terrible strike 2 call on Mabry.

    Barrett has been a full time catcher for a longtime now, and his defense doesn't seem to have improved at all. Not that I'm hung up on his defense or anything, but he's not going to get better. It's not speculation. What is ludicrous is to deny the trends that baseball has established for years. Position players peak at 26, their best years are usually 25-29. They decline in their 30's. Catchers sometimes peak a little later, but usually decline a little earlier. The pounding they take wears on them over time, and Barrett has been racking up the games/innings behind the plate for several years now.
