  1. Neifi is a moron. Does he ever process who the hell is at bat before he fields a ball?
  2. Pierre is Fred's favorite player. He can just cut an paste the results of his ABs much of the time.
  3. [irrelevant]They also have the same number of World Series Rings.[/irrelevant]
  4. Len needs to try polarized lenses before getting on Castilla for wearing the shades. I think they help clear things up on hazey, overcast days. Perhaps Vinny receives the same benefit.
  5. An honest question. Does any ballplayer adjust his junk more than Neifi? Just watch. After nearly every swing, putout, or throw, he goes to the groin.
  6. Sweet. ARam's hamstring didn't explode.
  7. Nice job of working the count by Jones.
  8. Should we keep a running tab of booth excuses? If so, Brenly just said that Walker has been hitting a lot of balls hard, but the defense has just been making plays on him.
  9. Wanda Pierre with a soft fly ball out. Correction. Wanda Pierre with another soft fly ball out.
  10. uh oh, don't say that here... The OBP Gestapo will be arriving shortly Solid observation.
  11. Not all of our perceptions have changed. The example you set forth above lends credence to those of us that believe that deal wasn't a fleecing, but rather a logical result of being at the right place, at the right time, with the right periphrial circumstances. That is to say, the ARam deal didn't require a genius to construct. The Pirates were hamstrung by salary and inept organizational direction. Hendry needed a 3B and the Pirates were an obvious fit. However, if you look closely at that deal and recall the circumstances surrounding, there exists room for criticism as Hendry allowed Pittsburgh to hold the Cubs hostage with the PTBNL (who ended up being Hill). Recall that Grudz got injured and was out for an extended period. The only logical replacement for the Cubs was Bobby Hill. Whether you are a Hill hater or not, he would have been nice to have on hand during Grudz's injury. However, Hendry's lack of foresight failed to recognize that giving the Pirates a number of days to choose between Hill and Beltran hurt the club due to its lack of middle infield options. Hendry if not remotely the GM some hold him out to be.

    Fire Dusty

    OPENING DAY IN CINCY: Andy: Mr. President, thanks for coming to opening day and stopping in to talk to us. W: No problem, Adam. Andy: Its Andy, actually. Anyway, do you have any advice on how to publicly encourage my GM when things are going badly? W: Two words: Katrina. MAY 12 Beat reporter: Andy, as you stand here with Jim after another stunning defeat, do you have any regrets about his extension? Andy: Of course not. (Turning to Hendry) In fact, you're doing a heckuva job, Jimmie.
  13. I don't think its as premeditated as you say. Look at his quote in today's paper. Kudos to Mike for giving a hoot while his mates continue to go through the motions. To be clear, I didn't say it was premeditated. I presented options for discussion.
  14. If Barrett was genuinely peeved, fine. If Barrett's frustration leads him to the belief that he has to look like a tough guy to shake the team up, I don't know how valuable it is to pick on one of the smallest guys in the other dugout.
  15. Stitchface and JC = Superbaseballgeniuses.
  16. Even though its not a save situation, he might go to Dempster just to get him some work at the tail end of a game.
  17. So, what does this offensive outburst demonstrate? A. That the 8 game losing streak (and accompanying pathetic offensive output) CANNOT be simply blamed on Lee's absence, indicting Baker's handling of the team. or B. That Dusty deserves credit for finally solving the key to this team's offense.
  18. Ok. Early in the game, Brenly and Len were moaning about the only hits being up the middle. Now, after Pierre goes up the middle for a single, Bob says, "Right up the middle. Gotta love that." :scratch:
  19. Ha. That clown had an obstructed view seat in the press box.
  20. But for the battery mates, what is the likelihood that this lineup stays as is for the foreseeable future?
  21. I smell a sac bunt! Thank goodness you hung a "bunt" at the end of that sentence.
