  1. If the Cards are so good at getting information from teams, why didn't they get Donaldson... Huh?
  2. I voted yes, so I think we are in agreement on this one. However, I don't think it will happen by regressing to the mean. We are at a critical juncture. Moves need to be made soon to turn things around.
  3. It's great to get a win, but sucked to miss it because of work.
  4. Some of you will want more choices, but there are only 2-- yes or no.
  5. The Mets DFA'd Dillon Gee today-- a pitcher who is very similar to Rick Porcello. He's two years older, but with far fewer innings of wear and tear. Let's see if anyone rushes to pick him up and throw $80 million at him for 4 years.
  6. Brandon Workman to get TJ surgery.
  7. If they lose 10 in a row, there will be a mercy firing.
  8. Recycled trash at bat with the game on the line
  9. Napoli is toast. He started his decline last season.
  10. When he gets a hold of one, it goes a long way.
  11. Pete, this is the worst baseball that I have seen in Red Sox uniforms. Even bad Red Sox teams could pound the baseball, and they played exciting high scoring games. This is crap in every aspect of the game. I remember a very hapless Yankee team like this, but that was all the way back in 1968.
  12. Would that pickoff fall under the stupid baserunning stat? We get so few runners yet we keep getting ourselves thrown out.
  13. I vote that Holt play all 8 defensive positions at the same time.
  14. The starters are steadfast about maintaining their 5+ ERA.
  15. He seems to have abandoned the power sinker.
  16. Yep, and we must watch baseball.
  17. Porcello just doesn't get the ground balls like he used to get.
  18. He has been a colossal failure. To give him a pass if he finishes last 3 times in 4 seasons with a huge payroll cannot be justified unless a tsunami hit Fenway Park and killed the entire team. If his computer models showed that the 2012, 2014 and 2015 teams were supposed to be good, he needs to get better computer models. Kimmo, you are a great poster and a knowledgeable loyal fan, but you are like an O.J. Juror the way you make excuses for Ben. Lol! Edit: and no, I did not forget 2013, and I am very grateful, but he is a huge failure if he can't turn this team around. I am hoping that he can.
  19. it's not crazy if it works.
  20. I also don't think Beane would be stupid enough not to shop him to multiple teams.
  21. How about Matt (Head of Stone) Clement?
  22. Yep, they are like a bunch of closers pitching the 8th inning in a non-save situation -- no adrenaline rush. LOL!! He's ahead of me by a tie. That will change soon enough. Head to head, I own him.
  23. I'll let Ben off of the hook for Donaldson if Billy Beane refuses to deal with Ben because Ben killed Billy's mother or slept with Billy's wife. Anything other than that is a poor excuse or rationalization, and I am not buying it.
  24. Yep, if I believed it, I would have to go to every game and make every game thread, because "at the game" mojo is the most potent. It's all fun and games, except when we make it to the post season. In the playoffs, I will sit in the same spot and not take bathroom breaks if we are winning. jk ... not really.
