    that may be a good sign if you remember the celtics of the 80's were the ugliest group of players ever assembled, but yet one a title They didn't two a title? you're not allowed to correct a teacher

    replace the word "bako" with "nearly every single backup catcher in the history of baseball" and that sentence is more accurate. i had no idea that blanco had such a historic season last year

    I think we all would be he's the token LHP I don't understand why the Cubs didn't look into Beimal, Ohman, and Reyes while they were available at bargain-basement prices. The Giants are reportedly shopping Jack Taschner. I wonder if we could get him for either Fox or Hoffpauir plus a low level prospect or 2. That sounds terrible. Taschner is worse than Cotts. A lot worse actually

    so is it safe to say David Patton is this spring training's rocky cherry?

    i still question how good floyd is so this is a good insurance move.

    aramis' typical years ARE great. if all those things happen we'd be well over 89 wins i'd say.

    it probably is... the downward spiral of your recent posts is pretty concerning In fairness to meph, if he actually said "it might be more unlikely for the sun to not come up than for ricketts to die in a car accident", he would be right. Basically, that statement means it is more likely for the sun to rise than for Ricketts to die in a car accident. that's not what he said. i don't really care anymore though. i don't know why people got so uppity about it I pulled that quote directly from you. And, the very top of the page answers the bolded for you. that was a typo what's at the top of the page? nsbb.com?

    I think (HOPE) that Koyie's had a good enough spring to make the team. Hopefully this doesn't give Bako the edge :( Yeah, the consequences of having Bakos .312 SLG (62 OPS+) make the team over Hills .280 SLG (38 OPS+) would be of epic proportions. The difference is that Hill has 231 career ABs to Bako's 2086. Hill has hit pretty well at AAA in the last 2 seasons so there's at least a chance he could be decent. With Bako you know you're getting garbage.

    no one is going to pound ovy for that. no one pounded sean avery for doing pushups after he scored a goal a few years ago, no one is going to go after him now. The Tampa guys will remember. The Avery thing is different because he's insane and you can't just take runs at him. Yah, I really doubt the Tampa guys care. The only people who care are people like Don Cherry, and they don't matter much. A few of the Tampa guys voiced their displeasure after the game and said they won't forget it

    i already said i didn't think he actually believed it, which is why im wondering why he got all pissy about me joking about it
  14. 17 Seconds
    well, if meph really believes that what he said is true.....
  15. 17 Seconds
    because i jokingly told him to stop talking after he said it might be more unlikely for the sun to not come up than for ricketts to die in a car accident? ok
  16. 17 Seconds
    i did?

    What more does he need to build on? Theriot is cheap and gives you above average offensive production at SS. . Defense. Theriot might give you slightly above average offense for the shortstop position, but well below average defense. that's wrong. he's not well below average defensively. based on what? highly questionable defensive metrics that are supposed to be really good but are always wildly inconsistent? defense is one of those things where you have to attempt to judge it for yourself, as hard and inconclusive as that may be. since theriot plays for the cubs and i watch the majority of the games, i can say with pretty good confidence that he is well below average. he has very poor range and a very poor arm.

    i thought the "maybe you should just stop talking" was tongue in cheek more than anything. i'm pretty sure he didn't actually think the sun not coming up is more likely than ricketts dying.
  19. 17 Seconds
    okay meph continue
  20. 17 Seconds
    Maybe it's best if you let me decide who should stop talking. What'dya think ? okay but make sure you take into account people who say the sun failing to come up in the next 3 years might be more likely than a guy dying in a car accident. thx
