Hopefully your man doesn't let you down tonight as much as mine did last night.

He will, he must.

I know you can find almost anything on the Internet.... Has anyone ever come across a study of players in "contract yrs " and their stats that yr compared to other yrs?? I really don't see how someone can just " turn it on " for a yr, but it does seem to happen alot.... Would make for a good read

Melancon will be fine. The last couple of years he's been over a 130 ERA+. It may be painful now, but I expect him to be serviceable when he comes back.

[NativeBostonian]

Thanks.

This article explores it. It's not very in-depth, but it breaks the surface.

I hope he can get it figured out. Because I want him to help this team win and because I feel so bad for the guy. You know he's gotta feel like s*** right now.

[BornToRun]

Thanks.

 

You should find a way to emphasize "Laser Show". Color it or bold it or something. Just a suggestion.

[BornToRun]

I think Shoppach's gonna swipe third tonight.

He definitely smelled like s***.

[BornToRun]

93

[BornToRun]

Blew him away. Nice start, Sexy.

[NativeBostonian]

Nice.

[NativeBostonian]

That made me jizz.

I agree. Draw me like one of your French girls.

I like the lineup getting shuffled. Though I'd rather rare Sweeney in the lineup than Repko. Maybe even leading it off.

 

Valentine would do good to remember that Pedeoia rips it up in the 4th slot.

[BornToRun]

He's popping it at 92-93 so far.

Thanks... That one seems that they accounted for every free agent, would like to see the numbers with " above-avg/star players " .... Law of averages, if they figured guys like salty,aviles etc would definitely bring down the avg totals lol

Getting 93 on multiple FB here in the first. Won't have to go to plan B if he keeps this up.

[BornToRun]

What the ESPN announcer hasn't said is that Teddy didn't have the advantage of heroin and hookers when he hit his.

[BornToRun]

Heroin.

Shame we can't " like" comments on here.... Petey tore it up last yr hitting cleanup

[jung]

Man Hamilton was totally fooled and still got enough of that

I forgot Pedey's numbers in the 4 hole. I wouldn't mind him in that spot against lefties.
