    How quickly you forget Dusty.

    Lackey has been so good lately.
  3. Tim
    At least it took 8 pitches for Javy to strike out?

    I'm back...where are all the dongs?

    I wonder if they're doing that in an effort to help him find his proper mechanics again. Or if that was the hook they used to get him to sign with us. Or if they seriously think they can Arrieta him.

    Most obvious move ever.

    We're still going to take the series.

    Anybody?

    It's funny to me because we've been linked to Shields a few times and I feel like that was a bullet dodged.

    Grimm's stuff is great. Not worried about him at all, really.
  14. Tim
    Now, I'm quite worried about Clayton Richard.

    I'm not. But it is a free country.

    I have to be honest that I expect them to win every game at this point. I know they'll lose occasionally, but I'm always surprised when it happens.

    lol - lazier than even the Cards & Dodgers guys.

    I think it's really tough because we're judging it based on reports of folks (old sportswriters and reporters) that are inclined to glamorize Ali's fame too. I sure wasn't around to see any of Ali's fights. I'm honestly surprised this even turned out to be such a contentious thing; I just assumed he was one of those rare figures everyone though was on another level of fame/global awareness. He is definitely "one of those". I just don't believe that he's on a level of his own. And I think the simple shift in connectivity across the world is a major cause of that. Ali was famous in a much different way than Jordan, Messi or other athletes. But simple statements about "most famous" miss the point with Ali.

    But that's a big part of the point; Ali ended up being as absurdly famous as he was around the world at a time when the world wasn't as connected as it would be later. But "most famous" still means how many (or what % of) people know of the guy. I believe that Ali was known by a higher percentage of the connected people during his time than any athlete today. But there are SO many more connected people today (overall and as a %) that it is almost inevitable that the raw numbers will be higher for today's athletes.

    At the time of Ali's greatest fame, China was very much closed to the outside world and a very large part of the population in India was still cut off. I'd guess that there are current athletes that are known by both a greater number of people and a greater percentage of the worlds population than Ali. Messi, for example, could be more well known at this point.

    Yeah, that's been out there for a while. I'm confused why people think Toronto will be selling, but if they do start selling it would be amazing. he's the one it makes sense to sell. he's old and is going to be a FA Well, sure. But I think they're going to stay in the race is what I was trying to imply.

    Any javascript developers here? I'm totally befuddled as to why I can't get my script to bind to the submit button to override the default behavior.
  24. Tim
    I could make do with Bautista for the rest of the year if Toronto fades.
  25. Tim
    And Contreras with a triple and a walk.
