he was wasted though. he said he doesn't even remember if he asked for it. it was probably one of those things where he was like "well i'm already wasted, i might as well enjoy this single relapse as much as possible and do some blow"

So Beckham has to wait five years before he can be considered better than Ramirez? He has to prove himself to be the hitter Ramirez is. It might not take 5 years, but it certainly takes a lot longer than the service time he has so far.

it's not really tedious. he's one of our best relievers and he racked up a lot of pitches. plus, you can't just shrug off the crappy relievers being used. even though they suck, they might suck a little more if they aren't fresh. we may have needed to count on one of those guys to pitch a scoreless inning and maybe they aren't as fresh. every extra inning ANY of your relievers have to throw in the late parts of the season are relevant. this is when guys start wearing down and need all the rest they can get.
-
i didn't make an argument. i was just pointing out how you conveniently left the most relevant reliever of the night out of your argument.

Disney on Ice Well that's ridiculous. We've had that ever since I can remember. I know about the circus trip but I don't remember this

He ruins my evening too often. Throw out all the other stats. Ruining my evening trumps all that. every closer is going to "ruin your evening" multiple times in a season.

wait... is it really samardzija vs cliff lee? oh awesome actually, that's probably for the best. might as well make them waste lee on a game we're going to lose anyways
-
np, you've earned it
-
you're so clever and awesome. i wish one day i could develop a defense mechanism as clever and original as the one you came up with. it's really very witty and clever

He/she is saying we might have to root for the Cardinals to beat other wild card contenders so we can win the WC. Her post didn't make sense though, considering the Cards don't even play the Giants anymore this season. They do play Colorado in late September though, and we may be rooting for them in that series.

i dont understand where this delusion you have of me wanting hamilton to fail is coming from you're talking gibberish and basically making things up. i think it's pretty hilarious to hear you say things like this though, considering you repeatedly make fun of people after they die. now suddenly you're taking some kind of moral stand (and one that is completely baseless and unfounded, to boot)
-
yes
-
LOL seriously? They "burned" Samardzija... probably knowing that he'd be off until his start on Wednesday anyway. Two other guys had pretty standard one-inning appearances (Heilman, Grabow), and the entire backend got the night off (Guzman, Marmol, Gregg). i like how you leave out marshall
-
And to think we could have traded him straight up for Tejada. or maybe even a player who was worth prior at the time
-
I dont think that means what you want it to. no, you just don't understand the context. he thinks that i dislike hamilton because i didn't think he was an mvp candidate last season. thus, i despise every player that i don't think is an mvp candidate. i hate you so much, brian mccann. you're no mvp. you're just good.
-
why? i like josh hamilton. reading comprehension > you sorry, i dont revel in other's misfortunes a) but i do? no. now you're just making things up b) you don't, really? really? then what do you call constantly making fun of dead people?
-
what a complete joke

why? i like josh hamilton. reading comprehension > you

Rios to the White Sox
17 Seconds replied to inari's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
I meant that as in "he's not THAT good". An .850 OPS is good, but nothing special (when he seems to have a reputation of being some stud hitter)... especially for a corner outfielder. -

Alex Rios might be the most overrated player in baseball. Even when he's good, he's not that good. screw you wilken -
Just throwing this out there because I am bored

Randy Johnson is better than Jason Hammel, but otherwise you're right. isn't randy johnson done for the season? -
And where would he play? It's an away game, so he'd never get in the game. You'd pinch-hit for him in the first inning, and that would push the first at-bat by the real starting pitcher back by an inning. then you'd have the real starting pitcher batting right in the middle of the lineup for the rest of the game

there's no way to possibly know who will be pithcing well at the end of the season, so it wouldn't make sense to speculate anything right now. wells could fall off the face of the earth between then and now. lilly could be throwing 87 and getting rocked. dempster could be dominating. we have no idea right now. -
I understand the thought of why you would want Soriano to move back to the top BBB (best hitters getting the most at-bats). If so, why would you want to move Lee down to 5 when he's consistently had an OPS around 1.000 for the last 3+ months? The lineup balance is the same either way..if you swapped Lee and Bradley, Bradley would be separating Lee and Soto instead of separating Ramirez and Lee (or Lee and Ramirez if you prefer the current version) My thought process is to kickstart the guys who need it most. Lee will still hit in the 5 spot, but we really need Bradley and Fukudome to get hot, and having the two hottest bats behind them could get them some better pitches to hit. You need Fukudome to get hot? .344/.455/.547 post ASB isn't doing it for you? Leave him at leadoff, no question. I don't understand why anybody would try and slide Soriano back up to leadoff. His days are done there. It's probably best to get past that silly story. Funny, I could swear this thread was called the "what would your batting order be", not the "Let's rip apart BigbadB's batting order". Well you said your thought process in your lineup was to "kick start the guys who need it most", and one of those two guys you were talking about that "needs it most" has been raking for weeks now. You kind of set yourself up there.
