    He's toast. His body is a train wreck.
  2. a700hitter
    And Ben held himself accountable.
  3. a700hitter
    There was plenty of reasonsand blame to go aroundfor 2012, and Ben is not exempt.
  4. a700hitter
    I think the reasons for the worst season in 47 years are worth studying.
  5. a700hitter
    It didn't offend me. I was just surprised that you were calling for Jon Sterling to be shot.
  6. a700hitter
    2012 is complete. There is nothing more to be known about 2012. 2013 is not complete.

    Good description. Is that what they call those fan like things that are put on the bat to cause wind resistance when taking practice swings?
  8. a700hitter
    Yes the trade with the Dodgers was with an eye toward the 2013 season. It was not a 2012 move. It was essentially the blowing up of the 2012 mistakes.
  9. a700hitter
    His bat looks extremely slow at times. Maybe he should try a lighter bat.
  10. a700hitter
    To his credit, Ben was very critical of the decisions he made in building the 2012 team. The worst record in 47 years, deserves an F even if his mommy was grading him. He has righted the ship for 2013, but that doesn't mean that 2012 wasn't an utter failure.

    and the trade didn't help us one iota-- last year or this year. The A's got one really good season out of Reddick. Clear advantage A's.
  12. a700hitter
    Shot? And you got votes for "nicest member"?
  13. a700hitter
    I always weigh about the moves made by the GM. Giving them a grade is another thing altogether. It's like discussing whether the owners are doing a good job. There are no owners or GM,s on the waiver wire, becoming free agents or available for trades. They are not going anywhere. We are stuck with them. Yes, let's discuss their moves. As for a discussion of their grades, they each get a grade at the end of each season-- the standings. Last year he was the GM of a last place team. There's no sugar coaing that. This year the team is in first place. Tkose are his grades.

    I'll be sure to join at some point--probably after our last game.
  15. a700hitter
    Who cares about rating a gm? They don't have a baseball card, no jerseys with their names. They don't get hits or throw pitches. Why not root for our accountants and marketing people. I understand that they are the best in the business. Who cares.
  16. a700hitter
    can we just enjoy the present? LOL! Seriously, we have only won one division in 17 years.
  17. a700hitter
    I am glad that they made a move. If Wil bombs out, Bogaerts will get his chance. Hopefully, he can reestablish himself. Last night was a good start-- two hits and no k's.
  18. a700hitter
    LOL@ Rodney. He blew a 3-run save to the Dodgers and then he lost the game on a DP comebacker that he threw into the outfield. His throw wasn't even close.
  19. a700hitter
    In case you missed it, Lyon got released by the Red Sox on August 1st. Contreras currently has a 9.00 ERA at Pawtucket.
  20. a700hitter
    What about Thornton?
  21. a700hitter
    We could benefit from picking up a bullpen arm.
  22. a700hitter
    Doesn't he have options? Will Alex Wilson be coming back anytime soon?
  23. a700hitter
    The Royals are very hot right now. We caught them at the wrong time.
  24. a700hitter
    Big squander.
  25. a700hitter
    Like you, I check the wires every day to see if we brought up Bogaerts. Until we do, we need this puke Holt.
