Morgan and Miller are even worse than usual tonight Carlos Lee is a Brewer, Luis Castillo has been in the american league his whole career. WTG fellas -
If Meph said this, people would be freaking out.

Ryan Howard strained his quad earlier this year and was just out for 15-days. Where's this season over stuff coming from?
-
woah, slow down there.

Is Murton dead? -
We need to decide soon. Honestly, I say we just start it in the next few days, it will probably be too tough to get everyone together

i want robot wrists like luke skywalker

I'm going to guess that Ed Hansen is one of Vance's competitors for the seventh inning stretch thing. EDIT oops, to stay on topic, just make harvey a pitcher and be done with it.

So when does your respect for older players start? 1980 forward? Was Willie Mays also worthless in your eyes? Dimaggio? Ernie Banks? Those guys were great, just like Ruth, in their era.

Ruth would see one 95mph split-finger and drink himself into oblivion. Ruth would see the bandboxes we play in today (and the launching pad that is Coors Field) and faint from giddyness. Too bad he wouldn't be able to make contact with any of the pitches. I'm sure he'd be great in BP, though.

That wasn't how he wanted to play baseball. He thought he had a better chance to get on base and thus help his team if he played the way that he knew best, which was slapping the ball to all fields i.e. Ichiro. He was wrong, then.

Thanks, I thought you'd like it. It's very much in the mold of a snotty thing you'd do. Actually I would have tried to at least support my claims, but it seems that's a bit too much to ask of you.

Zup? http://img27.picoodle.com/img/img27/9/8/4/f_ruthm_dae597a.jpg 1921, age 26: .378 Batting Average, 59 Home Runs, 171 RBI, 177 Runs, .846 Slg. %, .512 OBP, 457 Total Bases, 44 Doubles, 16 Triples, 17 Stolen Bases, 145 BB, 1.359 OPS oh ya, I have a career ERA of 2.28 and WHIP of 1.16 in 148 games started. Stick Barry back in 1921 and, barring a hate-crime, he would put up numbers that would have had him burned at the stake for witchcraft.

The fist pump seemed a little out of character for him

That's a fine point and you might have me there, but I'd still take Sosa. This is how baseball people stay ignorant. me Tarzan and you Jerk "I know that all the statistical evidence points in the opposite direction, but I'll go with Sosa because he had a lot of the numbers that I'm comfortable with." So if Olerud was put in Sosa's place that year, Olerud would have contributed the equivalent of 158 RBI's and 134 runs scored to the Cubs' campaign? I'm pretty confident that his presence in the lineup that season would have been worth more runs than Sammy's.

I don't think this is something that you really want to be arguing. EDIT Of course TT beats me to it.

Unfortunately the most likely explanation for his poor performance today was that he's Sean Marshall. Weak argument. How is what he said in any way wrong? Right now Marshall is a No. 5, No. 5's get lit up from time to time. He's young and he's not a guy that you expect to dominate every time he steps on the mound, he's the exact kind of pitcher that you would expect to give up a lot of runs every once in a while. The implication was that Marshall is a poor pitcher. This is Marshall's second (maybe third depending on your definition) bad outing of the year. That to me is FAR from a poor pitcher. Now if he was trying to imply something else, then that certainly didn't come across. Whether it was because he was trying to say he was a poor pitcher, or whether it was simply that he wasn't getting his point across very well...either way, it was a weak argument. I think that his abrasive nature is causing you to assume his argument, because I certainly didn't take it that way. Sean Marshall is going to be a pitcher that will probably always be prone to a game here and there where he gives up a bunch of runs.

isn't that a double-dip? or is that when you do it twice with the same gal? That's with the same girl

I always thought a double-cut was when you had sex twice in one night
