    if there was a nobel prize for hyperbole, you would win every year, sir. If this board had a built in dictionary, I would post the definition of sarcasm for you. sar·casm /ˈsɑrkæzəm/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[sahr-kaz-uhm] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation –noun 1. harsh or bitter derision or irony. hy·per·bo·le /haɪˈpɜrbəli/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[hahy-pur-buh-lee] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation –noun Rhetoric. 1. obvious and intentional exaggeration. 2. an extravagant statement or figure of speech not intended to be taken literally, as “to wait an eternity.” there's your dictionary... but i think it proves me right.

    we may not have scored with a runner in scoring position and no outs, but at least we got a different catcher that will run the bases better!

    but, but... that would take away the bff comfortability for pie/soriano.
  8. Shilzzz
    nice, soriano. let's go pie

    i'm in a good mood, so i won't bust out the eye roll I'll do it for you. :roll: Ok you convinced me - he has looked outstanding both behind the plate and on the basepaths Do you consider Manny Ramirez a bad baseball player? In true Joe Morgan fashion I will tell you no I don't but I don't watch Manny every day either. Having said that Manny OPS+ 129; Barret OPS+ 80 - I believe that gives Manny just a little more room to make gaffes in the field and on the basepaths. Not to mention Manny is a LF while Barrett is a catcher Then why does Manny cut off throws in CF? Bottom line: Manny's gaffes are much more blatant and disastrous than Barrett's. Blatant and Disastrous Gaffes Statline for both, please.

    was he drafted out of high school or college? i'm sure there's an acclimation period. he will probably suck though.

    A Decepticon who was left out in the rain. :lol:

    makes no sense. floyd should be in right with ward dhing. jones should be in chicago, underneath a pile of ivy and bricks.

    fontenot 5th... wow

    so we are one player short AND have marquis pitching in arlington? we are getting stomped tonight. 17-8. sammy hits 2 homeruns.

    did lou really say that? If he did, I can't see Lou allowing anyone to quote him saying that. Remember, Wikipedia is public and anyone can edit a page. i think everyone knows wikipedia is public, thank you. i just hadn't read anywhere that that had been said before. hendry is so frustrating in these deals because it's like he fashions himself an alchemist, since the hundley/ramirez/lee deals, that he can go out and find 'overlooked' players and turn them into something. however, i'm going to hold my opinion on this one. most people here would probably be of the mind that pitching is what wins championships, and if it takes losing some offense at the catcher position to comfort the staff, and help them pitch better, then i am all for it. and besides, it's not like barrett was lighting the world ablaze this year. and iirc, baseball prospectus had mentioned that his downslide would start this year and it wouldn't be exactly pretty (though i'm not looking at my book right now and could be wrong). that burke, on the other hand... :cry: Don't get sensitive. don't talk down to people.

    you would really trade patterson for a 30-something RELIEF pitcher who throws in one of the most pitcher friendly parks in baseball?
  19. Shilzzz
    It did, but his equivalent averages still outpaced bowen easily. That said, given his poor defense and questionable relationship with some of the staff's pitchers, it might not have been worth the price to sign him. well then i guess it boils down to whether or not you value a catcher's defensive/receiving skills over that drop in offense. if you get good rich hill on, maybe, 30% of the outings with bowen you would otherwise have bad hill if barrett is catching, is that worth it? we aren't talking izturis here. defense at catcher is a little different, imo.

    I loved Steve . . . . . hated Joe "shaveless" Carter. . . . . didn't brennaman work for the cubs? i seem to remember that, though i may be wrong. i REALLY don't like him. Yep, and he has absolute vitriol toward the Cubs because they wouldn't allow him to do network. i'm glad. that guy is a deusch bag.
