double concede? Ok, I'll chalk up two losses for you.
-
yea, he'll have to get agressive at some point to try and win. I think once he is in the money he may get more aggressive. first couple days are all about positioning. I think he is off until Friday though.

I met some great Giants fans this morning. They were taking the train to the daygame today. All about 45-50 years old and lit. Did I mention it was 8 in the morning? They spent the hour I was on the train discussing the best bar in every town in northern California and how they got piss drunk their, got in a fight, and then drove home drunk (on the wrong side of the freeway in one story). Now, I don't want to stereotype giants fans but . . .

not sure anyone cares, but Mike is through day two with about 120k in chips 99th out of part one of day two - probably close to average.
-
you can't make a trade today anyway. players must be put on waivers first (and no one has posted a waiver request yet), then there are three days to claim those players. have DJ post an agreement and I will reverse it.
-
why should I reset the rosters? Who was the trade with? where am I? I can probably do it tonight but I need some more details.
-
won't matter - you are destined for first round elimination! :D
-
GHS can really seize control in the next three weeks. If Quakers comes back and wins and I hold on, the west playoffs will be set unless somehow one of us catches NSBB.
-
Liriano should be ROY imo. What is the Twins record since he became a starter (not that that is particularly relevant). Ortiz will win AL MVP as Hafner is not a factor. Don't count out Jeter though
-
is Harden coming back? I don't see the A's having enough offense to win the West.
-
Bumped for tomorrow's main event kickoff. I know five people playing - no word if Kent or Vick is there.
-
briefly, players can be traded after they clear waivers. when placed on waivers, other teams have up to three days to make a claim (by either IMing or emailing me). If you claim a player, they must be a keeper for next year. waivers are revocable.
-
the deadline is still the 31st. I have never been thrilled with the waivers process but I think we will stick with it for this year.
-
Actually this statement is kinda wierd since if you hit a single and steal a base you would no longer be on first you'd be on second, so you wouldnt be scoring from first youd be scoring from second. you're reading it wrong. a double can score a runner from first whereas a single and stolen base generally won't.
-
I don't think being tired of the saga is a good reason to give Prior away. I understand your frustration, but he could still get it turned around. Look at the careers of Curt Schilling, Jason Schmidt, Chris Carpenter . . . there is no reason to give him away.
-
ah, but answer two implies the scoring is now balanced - its not. catchers are way overvalued. and the catcher's values are skewed.
-
not too many runners score from first on a single and stolen base.
-
"dude, we have to win games. we can't just throw young guys out there. not when we have veteran options. glendon can keep us in games."
-
shouldn't the answers be yes and no and not leading one way or the other? :)
-
I wonder if hitters are laying off more pitches since they can't hit them? Also he seems to throw that slider more this year. He reminds me of Kevin Brown - not a good thing.

lol

too many teams still in the races. and then there's the cubs . . . -
If by "nobody," you mean late-90s Pedro, then yes. If you INCLUDE righties, in the discussion, then yeah, I would say Pedro was as good as Koufax (Pedro's better comparasion would be to Bob Gibson, mind you.. But I was assuming from the guy who started this thread, when he was trying to compare Liriano/Santana to Koufax, that were talking about LEFTIES as a whole. Now if you open the debate, then I agree that Pedro was in the same class as Koufax, as is Gibson/Clemens/Maddux/Youny/Matthewson/Big Train/ and th elist goes on. Frankly, when healthy, Pedro was in a class by himself. Had he been able to pitch 220 innings a year consistently, he would be the greatest pitcher ever, in my opinion.

Orioles-Phillies Rumor
stitchface replied to fromthestretch's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
get abreu and wilson, move jones to cf and get on with getting some starters.
