  1. Just got nachos for lunch guys. Thanks for the fuckin inspiration.
  2. was he like the white Ozzie Smith or something? The competition wasn't much better. That was a pretty weak rookie class. Holy dogcrap you weren't kidding. That AL class is PALTRY. Jesus. The NL had some studs that year though. http://www.baseball-reference.com/awards/awards_1988.shtml#ALroy Yeesh. I guess retroactively it shoulda gone to Jody Reed then? Look at Don August's K-rate...
  3. Is that ad airing during CSN games now? I wouldn't know, I'm on MLBTV ha. I haven't seen it on the Cubs game tonight. I miss it though. Reminds me of last night's lunacy and when we won.
  4. Holy cow - that is Deeeeepressing. Shut him down for the season and try bringing him along slowly in instructional I guess.
  5. that was Alex Guerrero That's right. Good catch, thanks!!!
  6. That was the same guy who got his ear bit by Miguel Olivo
  7. hope a good video of that brawl gets posted
  8. Appel promoted to AA. Had one good start and then promoted? Probably trying to get him the hell out of Lancaster right??
  9. Sounds decent. Thoughts on what it might take to sign him? I'd love to add him to Soler for the rest of the AAA season and go from there
  10. And I don't think Dr. Andrews cares about an agent-team spat. So you don't think there's a chance that with all this "mis-information" that's out there - there's not a nonzero chance he's got a shaky UCL that's gonna go eventually? I do. I can understand him not wanting to sign with Houston due to bad blood. That makes sense. I'm just not sure he's ever gonna get that kind of money in the form of a signing bonus down the road. That's all, nothing more. :)
  11. No, Law is right that Pierce hasn't had a good season (he's referring to the whole season, not just the small sample of 21.2 AA innings since returning from injury). I was joking
  12. If he goes the JUCO route and dominates/stays healthy I could easily see him getting $5 million+, plus i'd imagine there are other team's doctors that are of the same mindset of the ones Aiken/Close got to review his MRI and said it shouldn't be an issue. Agreed. Stay healthy and he should be in the top 5 mix and get a $5 million bonus. He has quite a bit of room for negotiation since he'd only be a college freshman. I don't see it at all. I guess we'll see what happens. To me, he's damaged goods.
  13. Pierce has a 2.08 ERA with almost 8K per 9 and a 2:1 K:BB ratio (which isn’t great, but tons better than before) since he’s come back from injury. But hey Keith, let’s not let that get in the way of a good story. Go write about board games and custard you buffoon.
  14. Even if Aiken goes JUCO and declares next year..and even if he's healthy..i expect the issue with his elbow to keep him from ever seeing a 5M signing bonus again.
  15. Well if its ok with you Raisin, i'll just be curled up in the fetal position until the all clear is sounded.
  16. Bryce Harper owns, he's just been injury prone. Don't forget how young he still is. If Baez is as good as him, we are very lucky. i think he meant in terms of "other teams hating him because he's smug"
  17. When I saw javy earlier this year he was the last one back to the dugout before games both times due to his doing extra calisthenics/throwing/etc. Or maybe he just didn’t want to sit by his stupid teammates right Keith Law. What a jerk, he doesn’t have enough grit.
  18. Ricky's like "[expletive] it, i'm gonna pitch errrbody tonight"
  19. This is news to me; he's been pretty damn good for a month now. ehh last week or so have been rough. 2 weeks even.
  20. Why should the kids' adviser shut up? He absolutely should speak up on his behalf. because he's bitching like the the Astros OWE him 6.5Mil. If they think he's got a shaky elbow, then they dont owe him anything. If i'm an astros fan and this guy is headed for TJS, i'd much rather have the 2nd pick next year. Even more so because eff all the pitchers.
