  1. Let's go Deuce, Mike-D, Doubles, One-Nut........
  2. Maybe next time. Randy looks a little pissed. What, was he 5 minutes late to get the senior citizen Early Bird Special at Denny's?
  3. I'd rather listen to Kay than the utter joke Sterling and annoying bitch Waldman. For some reason I'm getting the CBS radio audio over the video feed on mlb.tv. What makes it even worse is that they don't have an on screen scoreboard for count, out, baserunner situation. Luckily, Wed and Thurs games will be on ESPN.
  4. Come on, man. You are only here for one reason (in the game thread that is), to talk s***. Don't get your panties all twisted when we talk s*** back.
  5. Nope, but lots of.... http://www.dalkescientific.com/writings/diary/3S2CE.gif
  6. Yeah, he really put some lumber on that ball. Quite a Jeterian play.
  7. [Homer Simpson]Mmmmm, turkey.....glah[/Homer Simpson] I agree. My RJ bird joke didn't make it official. Good call, Youk.
  8. Oh yeah, get some boys.... http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f8/kembry/rats.jpg Dead bird of the day.... http://www.nj.com/yankees/content/175/0901ap_johnson.jpg
  9. Aloha.
  10. I see them trying to woo Andy home.
  11. Pelfrey has already been called up to AA after tearing up A+ for a month (1.64 ERA, 27 K in 22 IP. Two starts, one very good (5.2 IP, 8 K, 2 BB, 0 R), one not so good (4 IP, 3 K, 1 BB, 5 R). I'm pretty sure that the A's are deeper in position prospects right now, so Pelfrey could be appealing.
  12. I don't think Zito passes up a chance to hit the free market. Too much to lose.
  13. Heilman has been very good for them as a MRP. How does moving him to the rotation change the dynamic in the 'pen bridging to Wagner. More innings for Duaner Sanchez? Ok, but he's young and they have to worry about his workload. I know Minaya loves Milledge, as he should. Beane loves good young pitchers, so I'd think Pelfry + filler could get the deal done.
  14. But, why give up prospects for Zito, in order to beat the Yankees, when he's likely to hit the FA market a mere 3 months later? That's too heavy a price IMO. And, I think Zito is going to go to market. Whether you or I think he's overrated or not, he's still a big name with a decent resume. Somebody will go big and long to make a splash with him. If anyone trades for him at this point, I think it's going to be the Mets. They just lost Zambrano for the year, and their roster is one of the most Win-Now rosters in the league.
  15. I just don't see the FO giving up what Beane will want for Zito. He's 4 years removed from his Cy Young* season, and has become, IMO, one of the more overrated pitchers in the game. Don't get me wrong, he's good for the regular season, but his performance against the team that matters most (NYY) is quite pedestrian, 2-7 4.64 ERA in 13 starts. Barring injury, the Cards certainly look like they'll be in it. After 30+ games they are only a game behind the "Playing way over their heads" Cincinnati Reds. Houston is in the mix too. I think the central will come down to the 'Stros and Red Birds (Cincy fades - lack of pitching). Both will make the post-season IMO because I don't see a WC team coming out of the NL East or West. Mulder will finish the year in St. Louis. It sure is a message board. You opined, and I retorted with a contrary opinion. Seems as if I'm within the rules. Monkey diaper? Gotta admit, the reference is foreign to me. Care to explain? *Pedro should have won the Cy that year.
  16. The A's are going to expect more than Theo will be willing to pay for a half season rental. Mulder won't be available since the Cards will be in a pennant race. Enjoy the bananas.
  17. While I agree that Tito is a vets-first manager, I don't think it has much to do with winning ball games. If that were the case, Youks would have had KFK's job by mid-June last year. From what I've seen, a rook has to be transcendently good to snag a job from a vet on Francona's team, like Papelbon has been.
  18. That's the 2nd time Papi challenged the triangle and just missed it. Yeah, two 400+ ft outs, I'd say the guy is struggling.
  19. Mike-D The "D" being for doubles, of course.
  20. My name is Mike Lowell, and I approve of this double.
  21. He's 7 for his last 14, but he's been in the top 5 in LD% pretty much all year. He's really not hitting the ball that much differently, it's just finding a hole more now, which was bound to happen when you hit the ball like he has.
  22. While it's true that Cora strikes fear in no pitcher's heart, Kilo is right, he's hit the ball sharply both times today.
  23. 8/0 GB/FB, 4 K, 5 BB.... Trust your stuff, Lenny.
