  1. Turns out Hansen didn't pitch today. The boxscore has been updated. Burns was the culprit in the 9th. link Mmm'bop gets a reprieve.
  2. Stop treating the board like a chat room, and you'll get there. The only place that should resemble a chat room is the game threads.
  3. Shhh. He hasn't gotten to integers yet.
  4. What exactly does that equation prove in terms of the conversation, Mr Hilbert?
  5. I think a lot of people are writing off Romero too soon. He could be a contributor this year. From what I've seen, he looks like he's comfortable with his stuff, and he's had some pretty good success in the past. Third appearance of ST today, and he's been good in each.
  6. From Shank Shaugnessy's blog... :dunno: MLB's media sucks in ST, so maybe they got it screwed up. Mmm'bop better hope they did. Link
  7. 2-run double for Ellsbury. f*** it. Just make the move for Putz by himself and give the job to Jacoby.
  8. Hansen's new nickname is, Mmm'bop. He's keeping it until he stops pitching like a 12 y/o pop-star.
  9. That's right, I forgot about Guillen. Whatever they do, if they play up interest with Seattle, they need to get Putz involved.
  10. Seattle would want somebody who can play RF in return, and Coco can't. It would be foolish to trade WMP with Drew and Manny in the OF because there is the potential to miss some games there, and they need a good 4th OF, which WMP is. Don't get me wrong, I like the idea, but I don't see a fit. Hansen is following his partner in crime. 4 batters faced, a fly-out, 2-singles, 2-run double.....
  11. I agree, Crunch. Going with the assumption that he can be the '05 Helton again this year, he's 40-50 runs better and about 5-6 wins better than Youk. But, can that hold over the next 4 years? I'm skeptical, and at his contract amount, that can turn into an albatross real quick if he starts showing age. As you've said before, at this point, the focus needs to be on the BP.
  12. Jacoby triples, again, and scores. I wonder if Coco's seat is feeling a little warm?
  13. MDC is playing himself off the 25-man roster. Another multi-run outing featuring a 2-run gopher allowed to Hanley.
  14. That's some nice creative editting. It's actually... 49-30-33-32-20-15 The gross droppoff in X-BH's is all dingers. Take out his phenominal '00-'01 and he's been a 40+ double hitter (with less than a handful of [noparse]3B)[/noparse]. He hit 45 and 40 the last two years. And, his road HR's since '01 have been: 11, 12, 10, 7, 8. Like I said, he was off the charts in '00-'01 (maybe it was PED) with 20+ road bombs each year, but the '02-'05 Helton isn't too far off from what he did last year (when he was sick). He should have no problem putting up a line of .315/.420/.500 or better, which is still damn good.
  15. Citizen's Bank Park 3-year HR Factor (2003-2005): 1.16 Any questions?
  16. I think Helton's drop-off is alarming, but for different reasons than you, Crunch. Colorado went to a humidor right around the time his numbers started dropping in order to keep the ball a little heavier to help their pitchers. That, to me, is the cause, and I wonder how good his power numbers will be closer to sea level. He just doesn't look the roided out type. I mean, he's not like Giambi, who's sweating like a stuck pig in October when everyone else has a turtleneck on under the uniform.
  17. I think we'll leave camp with at least two. Okajima and Romero, to start. Breslow has looked good and he'll be the first LHRP out of the 'buckett if needed.
  18. Wood has already made the move to 3B. I think their "youngster" IF projects to be as follows: 1B - Kendry Morales 2B - Howie Kendrick SS - Erick Aybar 3B - Brandon Wood
  19. Pardon me, I thought you were just playing stupid. Apparently, it's not an act.
  20. And, all the while, the Sox won just as many playoff games as the Dodgers. I know, I know, at least you got there right? Be sure to put your participants medal next to the 10th place ribbons on the wall, OK, Gay Focker.
