    Yeah, pretty heroic of them to keep Colorado State and Georgia State out of the end zone. How convenient of you to leave off Ole Miss & Virginia Tech. Apparently you didn't get the memo about trashing the SEC no matter what. It's just karma

    I have no idea why you're even slightly worried about this (nor where you got the impression that he could be). It's only slightly more likely than Jose Canseco getting an interview. There is an article on BN and Guillen was quoted by Mooney as openly campaigning for the role. And in Mooney's same article he wrote that he has a 0% chance of getting the job.

    an alarm just went off in SSR's mansion How are those bad contracts??

    Joyce went 0 for 8 with 4 Ks in the Boston series.
  5. SouthSideRyan
    Absolutely not.

    Any manager looking at the Cubs opening sure as [expletive] is going to be thinking a lot about minor league talent. I'd be thinking mostly about getting my money paid upfront #PoorTomRicketts

    I honestly can't choose between the Dodgers and Red Sox. I'll pull for the A's or Tigers in the ALCS and despise the Cardinals, but fair weather LA band wagoneers versus Boston fans...guh. Tough call. LA for me and it's not even close. My hatred for Boston rivals that of STL, not quite there though Red Sox all the way because Coletti is a drooling buffoon

    That's all for me.

    I blame Washington's ridiculous handling of Strasburg last year for that more than I blame STL. They were just the lucky bastards that got to play them. You think they would've brought in Strasburg to close game 5?

    Pitcher signed past this season for Arizona are Heath Bell, JJ Putz (7M for a setup man with an 86M payroll!!), Trevor Cahill and Brandon McCarthy. I can't imagine he'd be dumb enough to complain that his closer wasn't hitting guys on purpose, and Putz kept going on the DL, so he'd probably bitch about him being a [expletive] instead. McCarthy has 1Y/10.25M left Cahill has 2Y/20.4M left (with a couple club options after) I'd be all over McCarthy, who judging by his personality on Twitter is probably reviled by Towers, and had numbers worse than his peripherals, so Towers may underrate him.

    Man it is impossible to find anything about that online. I recall Ron gardenhire

    Some guy uk has mentioned for every opening in the system for the last 8 years I keep it consistent. I still think Dierker over Baker was the right move. I think terry bevington over dusty was the right move

    Dying on the field would be considered the worst game ever right?

    Between 1st ballot bias, DH bias, and steroid era bias, I doubt he makes it this year

    Stop it. You are going to make Robbie Hummel cry and when Robbie Hummel cries, Da Bum eats more chili and from that point you are just asking for trouble from a butterfly effect of bad gas. Can we stop having DaBum as the representative Purdue fan? Nobody liked him, including other Purdue fans, and he's been gone for what... 3 years now? You have a plethora of other Purdue fans that currently post here to pick from. Smack hasn't exactly draped himself in glory the past couple seasons

    thats one way of putting it Loose definition of the words "Lot" "interesting", "big", "league", "ready", "3B", "depth" and "between" make that sentence potentially true. When was the last time Gamel actually played 3rd base? I could be way off but I thought that ship sailed 3 years ago. It wouldn't shock me if Junior Lake was ahead of Gamel and Vitters on the 3rd base depth chart. Villanueva most likely is as well
  21. SouthSideRyan
    Yeah Frank is a tough one. He'll get in eventually but maybe not on the first ballot. I believe if he got in he'd be the first member who played more games at DH. That may hurt him with the meatheads more than him being a large guy in the roid era. I don't think there has ever been much speculation about him and roids. He was a hulk of a man back when he played at Auburn. I really don't give a [expletive] about who did steroids, but the argument that a guy couldn't have been juiced because he was big when he played college football always makes me laugh.
  22. SouthSideRyan
    I'll bet a bajillion dollars less than 6 people get in.
  23. SouthSideRyan
    But (as I said before) there are more than 10 guys worthy. Jeff Kent could easily be knocked off the ballot after 1 year which would be ludicrous ETA: Hell, Sosa could easily slip below 5% this year.

    If the Rays win, Price could go on normal rest for game 5, so it's not really a huge risk. All he's really losing for game 5 is Matt Moore, and even he could probably go an inning then.
