    Nobody likes the Suns this year? Same primary personnel. Same court strategy. Won 55 games last year. Something bad needs to happen to them for them to not make the final 8 from the West, IMO.

    The offense / defense argument comes down to opportunity. The slickest, rangiest fielding SS doesn't get enough balls hit his way to offset a noodle bat. The lwts run value of single is about .45 runs. The best short stops crank out 50+ VORP seasons with regularity through their prime. That means, if Mr Noodle bat is going to equate their value while hitting at a replacement level, then he's going to have to get to 100+ more balls in the field --- don't see that happening. This team has a lot of resources, they shouldn't have to endure settling for a player with demonstrated deficiencies. If he's truly spectacular in the field, and if he can hit league average-ish, that's one thing. If he comes up with boiled Barilla in his hands, it just won't suffice.

    No, what you are saying is that it's crazy to platoon at DH if the platoon is Papi/Lowell with Teixeira at first base, but it's perfectly fine to platoon at DH if the players are Papi/Nomar with Lowell at 3B. Only one of those proposals has all 3 players with some question about their health. That, to me, is crazy.

    I think history suggests the opposite is true. This is exactly the same decision that he made concerning his knee in the '06 offseason, where the choice was to have surgery or rest it. He had a very good rate stat performance in '07, but there was power missing, thus he gets surgery in the '07 offseason. He's shown that he is averse to the knife.

    Have you noticed that your Yahoo avatar gets downsized a bit on your team page? When the edges of the picture get clipped, your sombrero no longer looks like a sombrero. It looks like a tire is on your head. True story.

    Howell has had Papi's number. He does tend to leave the loopy curve where a hitter can run into it though.

    Maddon pulls Baldelli for Gross in RF with a lead late?

    That f***ing mongoloid retard owns us. Hits like Bonds against us.

    You =/= Tito That HR bought Tek not getting PH for the rest of the postseason. It ain't right, but it's what happened in my mind. That's why I'm surprised people were expecting a PH.

    Gorman's Garza strikezone is expanding. Pitches 1 and 2 to Youk weren't even borderline.
  13. ORS
    Nails. Time for more from the top of the order.
  14. ORS
    So Garza's pretty much a max effort pitcher. Does he make it to 30 before going under the knife for something serious?

    Pena looks like he's gone into hero mode. I think they can take advantage of his eagerness.

    Iwamura went as much as Drew did there.

    Nice yacker.

    Focussed light. Collar tightening.

    Donut hound Lendale White just broke off an 80 yd TD vs. KC for his 3rd of the day. Of course this happens in the week I'm playing SOTKS, who has him on his FFB team. Typical.

    I'll be shocked if he wins. His indictment for perjury in a federal court should be sufficient concern that would keep all 30 teams away in the eyes of an arbitrator.

    Pride, Power, Putting Green at 8:00 am on 10/1/08

    It's almost as if someone should make a smilie for it, don't you think?

    Game 7, bitches!

    Here comes decision time. Do you allow Pena a chance to tie it, or do you get your closer for 4 outs? One pitch outcome, nice kid.
