  1. Is this game Morales-proof?
  2. Joba!! What a bag of garbage!! LOL!!
  3. Victorino was always better against lefty pitchers. He should never bat lefty again.
  4. Don't they have to sign Lester or exercise an option? Buch is a great pitcher, but he hasn't been able to hold up over the course of a season and give us 200 innings.
  5. They certainly have a lot of flexibility. They just need to find the right building blocks.
  6. Theo will have to prove himself in Chicago. He no longer has the "feeding the monster" excuse.
  7. It took a monumental blockbuster of a trade to clean it up. The found the right trading partner that was desperate to add big priced assets and they took all of our big contracts. That happens once in a very long time. It was a huge mess that was cleaned up in that trade, but the mess should not be underestimated.
  8. In fairness, the best way to judge a FO is on the W-L record. I spend my time evaluating specific moves, but there is more that goes into the job than the moves that we see on the field. Based on the team's performance, he deserves a lot of credit. He turned around a team that had been spiraling down the drain since September 2011. He was successful in changing the course of the team, but we will not know if he has built something that will be consistently good and sustainable for a few years. As for his predecessor, he had a knack for destroying things instead of building them. His record in Chicago in the W-L column has been horrendous. People are giving him high marks for rebuilding the organization, but if he is any good at all, he should be able to manage a .500 record in year 3. He should have traded the Shark. He could have gotten a big haul for him. Theo never could evaluate pitching.
  9. Alternating Lefty-Righty in the middle of your lineup is okAy if the hitters are on par with each other. I don't believe in sticking an inferior. Hitter in between two superior hitters to achieve lefty-righty. If the Red Sox had kept AGon, he and Ortiz would have been the 3 and 4 hitters. No right should have been in between them. Batting the consecutively gave you your strongest lineup.
  10. Yes, let's rate the suits. What are the sabremetrics for the FO? They don't have baseball cards so let their corporate bosses rate them. The team is playing great so he gets credit as does the rest of the FO organization and coaches and trainers.
  11. Oh yeah. I am actively seeking them out. LOL!!
  12. I was just joking. It livened things up a bit, but I will abide by your request.
  13. This place looks like a graffiti ghetto or a some kind of ransom note with these random typefaces. Have we no standards.
  14. Both of you stop f***ing around with the typeface!
  15. They will need to get him some rest down the stretch to get him healthy for the playoffs.
  16. Good riddance to him.
  17. Yes!! Sweet!! This hurts the Yankees much more than if they had simply lost 7-2. We gave away the game and then took it back against their legend.
  18. Sometimes I get the feeling that the Japanese pitchers have too much reverence for Ichiro.
  19. Old man Alex had no chance against Koji.
  20. Carp in to play first.
  21. It might be a hate crime to fire a Native American.
  22. Can Snyder play first base?
