  1. So Hank Steinbrenner = Koch brothers. I'll buy it.
  2. Somewhere ignoring any and all baseball news? Apparently so. I'll admit, I definitely crawled inside myself from about the beginning of August to the end of September He had 31 home runs then. In fact, he led the majors from mid may on. Oh man, last season I became BBB :(

  4. I think that Toomer's Corner thing is really sad, but holy [expletive], that's funny. If it happened to a school other than one I attended, I'd probably laugh at that Avatar clip...the guy who did it has kids named Chrimson and Bear and a dog also named Bear...lmao. On a brighter note, a group of Alabama fans is raising money to help Auburn deal with the situation...8k so far which I doubt will pay for much, but it's something positive... Yeah, there was actually a little piece on this in yesterday's Red Eye. Pretty cool.
  5. That doesn't make it correct. And that label is applied by racists So, the analyst at CBS sports are racist, and the Redsox scouts are racist, who characterized his defense as such, it is a weak sword to draw in his defense. Use the race card to push the opponent back on their heels so they are defending. Question: Do you believe Bob Brenley and Ron Santo were Racist? All I did was point out that he wasn't in front of the ball in the photo, and I pray that every Cub is working on their defense. I love how you go ahead and make this post a full day after I made my qualifying post above EDIT: Errr, 4 hours
  6. Rose to Red Eye, on getting Noah back - "It should be very hard for people to go the hole...we're not a fast-break team right now because Kurt is kind of old." I laughed
  7. thank you, what would you rate as the most comprehensive of metrics? and which one for this particular case A pitcher's ERA while he's on the field Compare ERA with bases empty vs runners on
  8. That doesn't make it correct. And that label is applied by racists what??? Ramirez has been a below average defender for almost his entire career. He had a couple of above average years defensively, but overall he's been below average. That was obviously tongue-in-cheek. Maybe you're not a regular contributer, but there is a long-running joke (though not so lighthearted) about Kaplan and Wittenmeyer's perception of Ramirez being lazy being based on his ethnicity. Although, in all honesty, I think Kaplan is a [expletive] racist
  9. just to review this post. like half of NSBB has suggested good alternatives to your options (which was faulty - bray pitched fewer than 2 innings), like not blowing through the bullpen like a complete spaz, using a utility infielder (who isn't valuable) to pitch, not managing the game like it's a must-win since the team is already 6.5 games behind and that extra win is very unlikely to matter at the end of the year, and using the next day's starter rather than your best starter who happens two nights removed from throwing 100+ pitches. yet you continue to insist that dusty went with his only real option available. And just because "NO manager would choose c)" doesn't mean that c) isn't the best option
  10. He sounds like a very intelligent, well-reasoned individual. And HCCF appoves of this sentence.
  11. That doesn't make it correct. And that label is applied by racists
  12. And here I pegged him as a bleeding heart liberal
  13. maybe his name is davearm2 because he REALLY wants us to think he has two arms because he is j. walter weatherman, kind of conveying important messages http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_peLg3xECO5g/SIs_b3I1kII/AAAAAAAAAK4/8ppnYKyqg9Y/s320/Pier_Pressure59.jpg And that's why you don't put a position player in to pitch. Hahahahahaha
  14. maybe his name is davearm2 because he REALLY wants us to think he has two arms because he is j. walter weatherman, kind of conveying important messages The answer to this post is YES
  15. God, I want to punch this guy in the taint
  16. Who cares? Do I care how much money Pujols ultimately makes? No, I don't Is my above point germane to the discussion? Yuuuup
  17. Dumbest tangent ever?
  18. Or it's just a ridiculous sum of money to those making middle-class wages. I certainly don't begrudge certain classes of people for what they make as it is what the market will bear. However, I just can't empathize with someone making $10 million dollars a year wanting to make $20 million. I want my bills to get paid on time. But you empathize with the billionaire owner who wants to hold on to even more money for himself Where are you getting that? I don't empathize the sums of money on either side. It's the rich fighting the richer. Wow, listen to yourself. The money has to go somewhere. Does it stay in the pocket of the billionaire owner for no reason, or does it go to the guy who makes the product on the field what it is (a.k.a. makes the owner his money)?
  19. James Murphy has spoken. P.S. I agree
  20. As LaRussa said, they'll use it as a precedent to decide future salary demands. They have a vested interest in making sure that the best player in the world gets paid like it, basically
  21. Derrek Lee last year?? or was he a 10/5 guy? I know he waived something to go to Braves, didn't he turn down a trade to Angels or someone on the West Coast? 10/5 rights
  22. Horrible, should've traded him the to rays. There goes money for Pujols to be sent into another guaranteed injury. Never ever sign relievers to contracts longer than 1 year. Hendry needs to go. Please TT I'll sign the petition. By all means, let this guy keep posting and keep banning IMB! for saying hilarious things that are awesome
