  1. The ability to take a walk should be the job of every position on the team, even if the person doesn't have speed, or plays LF. That said, he really needs to improve his power numbers. Not just the homeruns, but more doubles too.
  2. agreed. But it appears that this ref hates Crouch, so it probably won't happen. the 50-50 balls are giving him trouble beause of his size. He should try to not use his arms as much, otherwise it looks like he's nailing all the 5'7 Paraguians.
  3. he better have a huge financial backer, because its gonna cost him a small fortune.
  4. Dempster looks like he hasn't pitched in a week.
  5. There's 10 guys in the bullpen and none of them besides Howry can pitch the 8th? Dusty got lucky with that hit, he loves the double switch, why can't he use it so his relievers don't have to hit.
  6. The Germany game is on ESPNU right now I don't get ESPNU, WXFT is show it in Spanish too, but no Poland game.
  7. Its nice to see Denzel Washington take some time off from his busy moving making schedule to pitch for the Reds.
  8. I wish we'd get replays of some of the games in primetime. I think ESPN Classic is doing it eventually, but it'd be nice to the games most people won't be able to watch.
  9. that goal was freaking awesome.
  10. Its great and all but Garland has a NTC for the remainder of the season.
  11. he'd have to get taken out of the rotation first, which hopefully will happen after tonight.
  12. what does it take to get DFA'd around here?
  13. -Italy isn't going to win the World Cup. -Brazil is the favorite, but I agree, they won't win the Cup. -If the US doesn't advance it will be very dissapointing. -Group E is tough. The sky is also blue. -Ghana is good. They're just not great. I agree. I don't know where he came up with that one. I think by the Ghana comment Smyth meant that a lot of people are writing them off as easily the worst team in the group and one that has no chance of advancing. Just curious, who are you picking to win the Cup? I have a funny feeling England wins. 40 year anniversary since their last one.
  14. D'Backs released him today.
  15. Joe Morgan is a baseball announcer.
  16. The only on-the-field baseball player fatality was when Carl Mays hit Ray Chapman in the head with a spitball in 1920. That's the only one I know of.
  17. Except there is a difference between sports. In baseball unlike football, they throw an object 90+ MPH at you. There has to be a level of trust between the pitcher and batter. This kind of behavior does not engender itself towards fostering that relationship. The media just didnt spell it out like that. Sure they can hit you in football, but it wont kill you (paralyze maybe). Baseball is a whole different can of worms. Many many people have died playing over the years. Who are the many, many people that have died over the years? I thought there was only one guy killed as a result of something that happened during the game.
  18. I really started to dislike Walker when he constantly was complaining this year about having to move from his natural position, 2B, to fill in where the team needed him at 1B. What a jerk.
  19. He's gonna need to go nuts for that to happen. Wells, Sizemore, GMJ, Granderson, and Damon are all in front of him, production wise. I was thinking of him being the O's token representative but then I forgot who plays shortstop for them.
  20. You guys got a steal in the availability of John Rooney. He is an excellent radio guy. seconded, he's one of the best around.
