  1. I have the sound turned off. What exactly were they talking about when they showed that vendor?
  2. ...interesting play by Theriot. One wonders if Aramis could have turned a double play without as much effort as Ryan made for one out.
  3. Its Scott Hatteberg, he's a magical walker, not much you can do about that.
  4. It seems to be working so far. :lol: EDIT: DAMNIT CEDENO
  5. You know whats nice? Turning on the game just in time to watch Jones, Lee and Barrett all get base hits. Wooo! Go Cubs!
  6. He is the better Encarnacion in...the Universe. He's actually a pretty decent hitter, who's young, and could turn out to be a star. EDIT: I see this has been covered already. Either way, whatever, managers really want to feel important, so let them do what they will.
  7. *sigh* Today is gonna be real boring.
  8. Daisuke's stuff just looks really really good. I doubted the signing when the Red Sox were bidding for him, but he's a legit top 5 pitcher right now.
  9. Ichiro vs. Daisuke
  10. Go Daisuke! Fantasy Loyalty, ahoy!
  11. did i miss the positive steroids test on mcgwire? I'm pretty sure he admitted he took illegal substances that, at the time, were not specifically against the rules in MLB.
  12. Don't forget the New York SUPER FOOTBALL Giants are just on the brink with Eli.
  13. GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH The A's bullpen explodes
  14. LOL, Brian Anderson is the best defensive CF in baseball? Come on! :lol: Guillen definitely had a brain cramp leaving Podsednick in the game with that terrible arm and poor catching skills... I wonder if his head hurts. :P Did you see the play he made in the 6th inning? He's very very good in CF, maybe the best. Theres really no reason he should be on the bench. Anyway, go A's...gotta hold on for another 3 innings. EDIT: 2 innings after Podsednik gets a hold of a bat. :lol:
  15. On paper (and almost certainly, in reality, as last years schedule was very easy), the schedule seems very tough, despite the "ITS THE SECOND EASIEST SCHEDULE IN TEH LEAGUE, OH WAIT THEY ARE IN THE NFC NORTH AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS DIFFICULT" response. We're gonna need to be better this year, no doubt.
  16. Ahahahahhaa When the teams made the trade, they were both lower seeded playoff caliber teams. Two years later: Who's the 2 seed and who's the lottery pick? Ok, bye.
  17. I find this hilarious. Would you rather have Tyrus' and Wallace's combined 11.5/14.5 or Curry's 19 and 7? Not to mention the blocks, steals, and intangibles that Ben and TT bring to the table. We have enough scoring from Loul/BG/Kirk. I am pretty comfortable in saying that we would be a worse team if we had stuck with Eddy. That's not really a fair comparison. Curry plays 35 minutes a game and Wallace/Thomas combine for 48 minutes(35/13). There's a significant contractural difference as well. But it is fair to count all of their involvement (maybe not just adding the 2's averages together) because they were all combined in the value of this trade. We fleeced the Knicks, pure and simple.
  18. Worse news: the Cardinals just won and are in first place in the division after sweeping the Pirates. And Albert Pujols is still struggling. :x
  19. Hahhahahaha, Piazza took strikes 3 and 4, and the crushed a double on strike 5. Buehrle is getting squeezed a little, but then when he's struggling he's serving up a pitch right down the plate.
  20. They still can take the series, anything is up for grabs. Buehrle and Joe Kennedy (Inexplicably pitched well his first start) facing off against each other.
  21. Hahahah, Scott "I couldn't slug .400 if I had a metal bat" Podsednik completely screws up 2 plays in a row. Mark Ellis crushes a ball and can't even get it out of the ballpark, but a victory over teh Sox nonetheless. The White Sox can absolutely not play in Oakland.
  22. Nick Swisher is hotter, sexier, and has possibly a brighter future than Adam Dunn. And I'm a heterosexual male. 8-) EDIT: I still would like to have someone show me where I specifically dissed Nick Swisher. This is all very confusing to me. The hitting for the A's in general is awful Ellis, Crosby, Shannon Stewart, 38 year old Jason Kendall with no power?
  23. I loooooove Nick Swisher, but he's had a rough go of things so far this season. Him and Chavez are the only competent young-ish hitters on the team. And to illustrate my point perfectly, Travis Buck hits a lead off triple and the A's strand him. :roll:
  24. :!: This is more than the wrong thread... It s the wrong forums!
