  1. good thing lee never has any intention of walking.
  2. and the term is "meatball". meatheads are jocks with backwards baseball caps.
  3. moehler is one of those guys that never pitched, never wanted to be a pitcher, made it a point to avoid pitching at all costs, but the astros made him into a pitcher anyway
  4. i didn't think they'd ever play again. is the leadoff man still "award winning"?
  5. You are [expletive]. I hope you are kidding... whether he's kidding or not...he's still [expletive]. That's not nice Oscar. Okay you and vance are right. Saying that IMB! is [expletive] is a little harsh. Let us just say then, that IMB is "mentally challenged". he's right, that trade sucked. harden is terrible as evidenced by his no-decision. what a bum.
  6. is hester going to be on return duty, or are they taking him off to focus on the offense?
  7. Chris Simms would be nice. But neither he nor Jones will see enough time on the field to make a huge difference. i disagree, i think jones will see plenty of time.
  8. what's a ronaldinho?
  9. God bless him if he can get that much, but i think a snt would be best.
  10. if i were a big leaguer, i'd have a translator, too. but my translator would be there to translate for all of the meatball, low-brow, baseball fans. it would be like wrestling. i'd also have a personal financial analyst in the dugout and i would speak to the translator in a british accent and wear romantic-era british clothes and strut about. translator: sulleymon would like to tell all of the women in st louis to stop chanting his name when he steps to the plate, as he finds them all repugnant and, most probably, in-bred. he would also like to ask st. louis men why they all hate him, of course he wouldn't touch any of their piggish sister-brides if they were the last prostitutes on earth. after all, doesn't he throw caviar out his car window when he drives by the unfortunate-looking people of this pathetic city?
  11. think of all the awesome heroin that 5 million dollars could buy, though. just think about it.
  12. no, the bleachers are still too dangerous if you aren't paying attention, ask yeti.
  13. i'm not going to apologize for hoping lincecum's arm falls off.
  14. hey idiots, you can't hit anything this little guy throws. just make him throw more pitches so you can eventually get to the pen.
  15. yeah, i'd pull fontenot after a plate appearance like that. that was just lazy.
  16. It's sort of funny that when he was drafted by the Giants, many teams were questioning his mechanics. He was viewed as an arm injury witing to happen. Now that he has a year an a half (or so) of MLB experience; he is viewed as "the Freak". FWIW I didn't read the SI article, but I heard that it actually goes as far as to praise his mechanics. It looks like a lot of his power comes from his long stride. His wind up is looks more lower body and less arm. doesn't matter where his power comes from, the transfer of kinetic energy from legs to arm still puts a tremendous amount of strain on the shoulder and elbow. you're not saving any strain on your ligaments and rotator cuff by using your legs more than your arm, you're just saving strain on your muscles. besides, in order to throw 90 mph, you have to throw with your legs, there's simply not enough muscle in your arm to attain that speed.

FWIW I didn't read the SI article, but I heard that it actually goes as far as to praise his mechanics. there are no such thing as perfect mechanics. perfect mechanics would be fastpitch softball. if he gets abused enough by his manager and hitters start spitting on his breaking stuff and fouling pitch after pitch after 2 strikes, he'll break down.
  18. another thing that never got after his first full year in the league. if the umps start squeezing him like they squeezed prior, he'll fall apart just like a human being.
  19. why is reed starting against one of the toughest righties in the league?
  20. work tiny tim for every last ounce of energy he has in his frail, frail body.
