  1. So, if we improved what has quite possibly been the two strongest areas of the team, it'd solve all of our woes? sounds to me like he's simply using a sarcastic response to rejustify his stance on acquiring anybody
  2. Hopefully they'll give him another day off tomorrow as well. Why do you think that?
  3. http://kissingsuzykolber.uproxx.com/2012/05/football-solstice-pagan-rituals-ksk-kontent-klearinghouse.html football solstice and other offseason stuff
  4. Yes, that's Marshall making Cutler look small. Didn't realize mn was referring to that pic.
  5. Doesn't David DeJesus play RF while Darwin Barney plays 2B? Why are they being compared? One isn't replacing or standing in the way of the other.
  6. Only a certain sector of the fan base has obsessed over the leadoff spot.
  7. http://deadspin.com/5912314/the-la-kings-have-created-a-handy-infographic-so-the-citys-media-will-know-who-they-are The Kings relationship (or lack thereof) with the local LA media that doesn't seem to know who they are or what they do has been fairly entertaining this postseason.
  8. actually I have answered it pretty much everytime. I have never once said he should bat lead off. I mentioned Campana might be worth a look for future reference to see if he can be that guy. So what exactly is it that you want to see done with Barney right now? You want him batting where? And for what reason?
  9. http://deadspin.com/5912324/aroldis-chapman-arrested-outside-columbus-for-speeding-and-driving-with-a-suspended-license Last night I heard Len say something about Marshall getting the save last night despite Chapman being named closer. Turns out Chapman was having some legal issues a few hours before that game.
  10. Batting order doesn't really matter. The fact that he's playing just about every day kind of negates the notion that he's been "jettisoned" in any way shape or form.
  11. no jar jar, he does not really? the best you can do is ridicule someone's typing? I answered the question. He does not play bad defense. There are no negatives that can be pointed out.
  12. neyer and the discussion about the 1998 NL MVP race
  13. I doubt it is very rare. Everybody in the AL East is .500 or better. It's only a quarter of the way in so a lot of teams haven't even played each other yet.
  14. http://deadspin.com/5912283/rickie-weeks-would-have-tried-to-turn-a-double-play-but-he-forgot rickie weeks forget to finish a double play
  15. oh my god oh my god oh my god http://i.imgur.com/eQSwI.jpg
  16. He shouldn't be. With utility middle infield types, as long as they're cheap and not completely hapless with the bat there's no harm in keeping them around. Also, in Barney's case as long as he's hitting well for now may as well let him play out the hot streak. I understand the comparisons as far as offense goes, but the obvious difference is the fact that Barney is a great defensive player, despite the fact that he makes some mistakes and Theriot was a bad defensive player. Not as much comparisons of their numbers as how they will be hailed by some in similar ways.
  17. holy crap Jackson those draft previews weren't lying when they said he had issues making contact with the baseball
  18. When I talked about Barney eventually becoming the next Theriot in the eyes of some I never realized it would happen this quickly.
  19. Ok, I'll give in on this one. Still not sure I'd call it goofy, though. It's more than a little goofy. There is literally nothing other than the service time issue that should be included in any discussion about keeping him down. Keeping him down to hide weaknesses makes absolutely no sense.
