Thanks. I'll just go look it up. NOT! Most of you folks are considerably younger than me. I'm not always conversant in this new lingo. Anyone care to tell me what it means? Does it mean derr?

Exclamation of joy/acclaim.

I'm surprised it's in webster, I thought it was slang not worthy of officialness.

[TheKilo]

Tallet is pretty awful

[Spudboy]

I even linked to the definition page! What more do you want from me?

 

It's an expression of joy.

 

I saw this post after my last post. Again, thank you. I am enlightened.

[Cocos Disciples]

It's just basically hurrah or hooray. CoDisc introduced it to the board' date=' if I recall correctly. I had never heard it before.[/quote']

 

IIRC it was oft used by myself in the 2007 playoffs.

[ms_sox]

Tallet is pretty awful

Which is pleasing me at the moment.

[jacksonianmarch]

note to Jays, stop starting this douche vs the sox

[TheKilo]

WTF Youk

[Cocos Disciples]

Drat, I was hoping for a fifth walk. Still, good inning and more pitches.

[jacksonianmarch]

not sure if you want to run up the pitch count. Do you really want him out of the game?

[Spudboy]

Sorry to belabor the issue. Now I'm confused. I have so much to learn. If my Son was here I'd just ask him. He knows all this stuff.

[TheKilo]

ERA under 6 bitches

[Spudboy]

A preponderance of vinegar on the mound?

[Cocos Disciples]

We'll try to squeeze as many runs out of him as we can. But it's never too bad to face the bullpen for 5-6 innings, especially with a game tomorrow.

[Cocos Disciples]

ERA under 6 bitches

 

He's officially made it!! Now if he can just get the OBA under .300, he'd be golden.

[TheKilo]

Brad Penny = best FA starting pitcher Theo ever signed

[jacksonianmarch]

what kind of lineup is this scrub team employing?

[Spudboy]

Brad Penny = best FA starting pitcher Theo ever signed

 

Maybe. But a dubious distinction.

[jacksonianmarch]

they are resting Barajas, Rolen, and Millar vs Penny. Are you kidding me? Rest your guys when you arent playing the sox.

[TheKilo]

lol

[Cocos Disciples]

Rest of the list:

 

David Wells

Matt Clement

Wade Miller

Bartolo Colon

 

So yeah, not so impressive.

[jacksonianmarch]

Wells was pretty good

[Dipre]

Wells was pretty good

 

At sucking.

We all second guess the manager's decisions. Tito takes his share, for sure. Earlier in the thread his decision to sit Drew was called into question (rightfully so). I assume these managers know WAY more about the game than any of us. But it does seem that their judgment is driven by what I will call "anecdotal wisdom".

[schillingouttheks]

Of course Ortiz gets blown away by this piece of s*** pitcher.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Were you expecting another outcome?

[Spudboy]

At sucking.

 

I think Wells was fun to watch. Plus he had a gut like mine! Still, the list is not very impressive.

[schillingouttheks]

At sucking.

 

Wells really wasn't that bad in the year we traded him to SD. Especially when you consider what you would have expected out of him. He had the most enormous belly out of anyone I had ever seen pitch, but he got the job done more than he didn't. Especially when the season was essentially lost in 2006 and he still went out there everyday and competed, when someone at that point in his career probably wouldn't normally have had the motivation to do what Wells did. He had come off the DL after starting the year on it and had some sub-par performances but did complement those with some strong ones, IIRC. He really wasn't that bad here.

[Spudboy]

He's been silent so far this season against the Sox, but Rios is a Red Sox Killer. Not to the extent of Wells. But he can do damage. I don't have data to back this up. Only subjective observations.

[schillingouttheks]

Against Tallet, I was half-expecting some weak contact. But I knew the K was most likely.

And Marco Scutaro.
