I don't get it. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=felch CAUTION: VERY NOT SAFE FOR WORK. But it explains it. Definitely not as delicious as Coco Crisp.

Did you even read the original post? He even said it's hypothetical. Obviously Boston wouldn't do it, but that's not the point. He's trying to get an idea of what people would do.

My favorite is when somebody either a) picks up a player and then tries to include him in a trade the next day or b) tries to trade a crappy player and then ends up dropping him the next day after nobody falls for it

Still no mention of this by ESPN or the Phils.

Maddux's reaction was hilarious. He even pointed to Kouz and said nice play because he assumed he was out.

I don't get it.

Coco Crisp because it is delicious as well as bad at baseball.

He's got a ways to catch Cedeno's .957. doesn't matter... you don't bench a guy OPS'ing .893. But you bench a guy OPSing .957? Neat. bench players don't get benched, they get returned to the spot they were already occupying. That really makes no sense, but okay. Who has been the starter the past 2 games? Anyways, this won't be an issue until Soriano comes back, and at least one of Theriot/Cedeno will probably have cooled off by then. Until then, Derosa needs to be in left, Cedeno at short, and Theriot at second.

I'd trade him straight up for Drew.

Sorry, can't do it. Can't put it on Gagne this time. If Weeks makes a play that T-Ball kids make then it's game over and it doesn't go 12 innings. Gagne let Cesar Izturis and Skip Schumaker on base. He wasn't without blame. No way you can put this on Gagne. Izturis should not of been on, the ump blew a strike 3 call after he froze Izturis. Shumaker was a hard hit ball, he is hitting .324 this year, but yeah that was hit bad. And then he got the best hitter in baseball to ground into a double play and Rickie Weeks decides to throw like a little girl to first. BS. When you hit a sub .200 hitter to start the inning and then allow a hard hit single to put runners at the corners with no outs in a 1 run game, it's your fault. I don't care what happens after that. Pujols' hard hit ground ball could have easily gotten past Hall anyways. He was lucky that the hard hit ball was hit drectly at Hall in the first place. The key of that inning was Izturis. I didn't see this alleged blown call by the ump, but it shouldn't have come to that anyways. How are you going to go to a full count on Cesar I Dropped The Soap! Izturis leading off the 9th in a one run game? You obviously didn't watch the game. It was a perfect pitch, Izturis watched it, and it Froze the Ump. Hard hit ball? Are you kidding? It was a regular double play ball to 3rd. A avg. 3rd baseman can field that. You're missing the point. It should have never come to that on a hitter as bad as Izturis. Anyways, I just watched the replay and it's not even close to as bad as you're making it out to be. It was a borderline pitch that could have gone either way. It wasn't close to "blown call" territory. Like I said though, it shouldn't have come to that. He fell behind 2-0 on 2 fastballs not even close to the zone, then we he got it to 2-2 he throws a changeup? A 2-2 changeup to Cesar Izturis? Come on. That ball you're talking about was one pitch out of 6. He went 3-2 on a crappy hitter and then hit him, period. He did that to himself. As for the Pujols play, you're right when you say it wasn't that hard hit. I just checked the replay and it wasn't what I thought. My point stands though, because that ball could have easily gotten by Hall. Gagne did a good job getting the ground ball, but it's not like Pujols hit it right at an infielder because of Gagne's awesome pitching skills or something. When you put runners at the corners with no outs in a 1 run game, tons of things can happen. You put a ton of pressure on your infielders, and even though he would have gotten out of it if Weeks makes that throw, it was his fault they were in that situation to begin with. By the way, I wouldn't call that Pujols ground ball a routine play. That was a great pick by Hall.

I like how the steal was of 3rd base with 2 outs. That's smart baseball right there.

Why can't our players ever keep their mouths shut about the World Series?

Leads off the game with a single and promptly gets doubled off first (and it wasn't close) on a routine shallow fly ball to center field. Even Brennaman was trashing him. If you go check out gameday it already has the highlight.

Now I'd love to see Joba enter the rotation and get lit up.

So I turned on the Brewers game in the 8th inning (I think) tonight, and Gagne was warming in the pen. Was Yost seriously going to bring him in for the 5th straight day?

Good lord, is this like a 6 team league or something?

I vaguely remember that. Did they end up losing the game? Do you know the date of the game or at least who they were playing? I've gotta check it out on mlb.tv because it sounds epic.

14 pitchers is ridiculous. The Brewers bench right now is Craig Counsell, Gabe Gross, and Mike Rivera. Wow. I'd pay good money to see a Brewers game go about 15 innings in the next few days.

Just wondering. I don't think I can waste a roster spot on this guy much longer, considering I don't even start him anymore.

You think Longoria will only be an .880 OPS guy in his prime?

I'd absolutely pick up Rasmus.

I think the "strained tricep" report was erroneous, at least for now. The Brewers are saying that it's just tightness. I guess he felt it last start too and it creeped back up tonight when they had a 5 run lead so they didn't want to take any chances.

I hate our organization.
