    Standard hypocrisy from LaRussa. When Tavarez's cap was checked(and he was thrown out for it) he went nuts.
  2. SouthSideRyan
    Gonna come back if the Astros don't make the playoffs?

    If you are going to score runs in an inning, most likely you are going to have to get to the 5th batter. If you are going to score runs, it's most likely an idea to neither have the pitcher, nor Freddy Bynum batting 3rd to break up the actual hitters on the team.

    Well duh, if you are reporting from St. Louis, you have to be in St. Louis, and regardless of the outcome of the game, life sucks in St. Louis. Note to St. Louis, everyone else figured out how to bread and fry ravioli, you ain't got nothin' anymore. THE ARCH!@!!!

    Not rally relevant to anything, but I'm so glad Curry isn't on this team anymore.
  6. SouthSideRyan
    Chone Figgins Jr.! Except for the ability to get on base. Or field a position.

    Dusty doesn't have a bizarre affinity for worthless veterans. Dusty just have a bizarre affinity for worthless players.

    Clemens spotted around town in the city he lives in. News at 10.

    Pentagine's a worse fielder than Durazo. stats source plz Besides the fact that I don't trust defensive metrics much at all, Petagine's career high in the majors is 124 ABs, hardly enough for a metric to measure anything whatsoever.
  10. SouthSideRyan
    Well yeah, Clemens has been a total hermit all through the baseball season. So anybody talking to him should surely get him signed.

    Pentagine's a worse fielder than Durazo.
  12. SouthSideRyan
    I brought him up, I think it'd only take a low level pitching prospect to get him. He's the most reasonable option IMO.
  13. SouthSideRyan
    I still don't get it.

    Ya know, basic 1st baseman skills aren't rocket science. You can practice all day digging balls out, but so much of what makes a good 1st baseman is instincts.

    why do you say that? Self-important, passes himself off as a medical expert with no real qualifications whatsoever.

    Wouldn't the day when we all want to kill ourselves over DLee not be the best day to come on and make jokes and gloating posts? What are the Astros gonna do when they realize Phil Garner is their manager? 43 years old. And you think we're nuts for banking on Wood, Prior, or Miller. 43 years old. In the meantime there lies 3 corpses in the 3-4-5 spots.
  17. SouthSideRyan
    What's Miller's progress like? Is he likely to come back before 60 days since opening day?

    A lot of people saying Neifi would get more playing time is if Cedeno struggled, even for a short period of time. That has yet to happen, so obviously Cedeno is going to remain the starter while he's having success. Even Dusty isn't dumb enough to sit someone hitting as well as Ronny is right now. I hate Dusty. he's an idiot and plays crappy players when he doesn't have to way too much. with that said, many said all winter that Neifi would get all the SS at the first sign of Cedeno struggles, then Cedeno struggled all spring. come openning day, Cedeno was the starting shortstop, so his point is well taken. fwiw, cedeno was pretty much guaranteed the starting job going into spring training. if he struggled during the year like he did during the spring, neifi would probably be starting by now. If I recall correctly, Bobby Hill was "pretty much guaranteed" the starting second base job and managed to lose it before the season started, so Baker should at least get credit for giving Cedeno the shot.... IIRC Hill got sick at the end of spring training and that is why he was not the starting second baseman Nope, Hill was optioned first, then got sick.

    Will Carroll's a tool.
  20. SouthSideRyan
    Go Ewing theory!
  21. SouthSideRyan
    Well I thought(Still think they will) would be better than this.
  22. SouthSideRyan
    How many teams/pitching slots? I don't like either of them much.
  23. SouthSideRyan
    He blew it.

    How do you suggest doctors and teachers make more money? Increase taxes so that middle class families suffer even more? Increase private school tuition to astronomical rates? Make insurance premiums so ridiculous that no lower class individual could afford them? Somebody has to pay these people, and the services that they provide, while invaluable, are not suited towards high pay.

    And before anyone responds with anybody can play baseball just at varying skill levels, you can say the same thing about any job anywhere. I would be just awful at being a mechanic, but it doesn't mean I couldn't do the job. Same thing with baseball, you could conceivably play professional baseball,(that is you have the ability to swing a bat and stand in the field with a glove) but whether you can play professional baseball at a level that would make the owners and in turn you money is highly doubtful. The same way I could conceivably be a mechanic, but there's no doubt I could do the job well enough to get any customers to come to me more than once.
