    Especially since Cooper got traded for George Scott who was on the decline.
  2. a700hitter
    So Friday is okay. Just Sunday is bad?
  3. a700hitter
    Yes, he did play for the Cards in 1967. He was the NL MVP that season.

    Yaz said that Reggie Smith was the strongest player that he knew. The guy was talented and fearless.

    The Mets announced Bartolo Colon as the OD starter and the manager Terry Collins took a big portion of a press conference to explain why Harvey had been passed over.

    I agree. I just thought it was interesting that the same people who touted him as the next Yadier Molina are now saying that losing him is not a big deal. If the Cards had lost Yadier, that would have been a huge deal for them, even before he had learned to hit.

    I think he had 4 wall ball doubles in a game at Fenway that season. He looked crippled on the basebaths. I was at Yankees Stadium on the 4th of July that year for a Red Sox Yankees double header. In the 9th inning of game 1, Cepeda laid down a perfect sac bunt with men on first and second and no one out. Thurman Munson bobbled it 3 or 4 times and then just dropped it to load the bases. It took Cepeda about 8 seconds to get to first base.

    For close to half the teams, opening day is their World Series.

    But many overplayed his importance and value prior to the injury. That is the point I am making. Many of those very same people who cooed about his arm and pitch framing are the ones now saying that his loss is no biggie. I didn't overplay his importance before his injury.

    Yet, pitchers consider it an honor and some get insulted if they don't get the opening day start.

    And we would have been lamenting his loss if the replacement was a guy off the waiver wire with little to no big league experience, because even though XB hasn't accomplished much yet, he is much better than waiver wire dregs. Also, we would be lamenting the loss of a major asset. Whether or not he is our SS, the guy has big value.

    Before Spring Training, people were comparing Vasquez's defense to Pudge Rodriguez and Yadier Molina. Now that he is injured for the season and beyond, People are posting that his loss is no big deal and that he can be replaced with a defensive clone from the waiver wir or another team's junk pile. Not too many guys in the history of the game have played D like Pudge or Yadier. Fickle fans.

    Our DH was Orlando Cepeda. That '73 team had a lineup with Cepeda, Yaz, Reggie Smith, Petrocelli and a young Carlton Fisk.

    I remember Boomer Blomberg.

    Matthews mistook urinating down his pant leg for a thrill up his leg. He is probably heavily medicated to control his psychosis.
  16. a700hitter
    Whether he can be successful at the lower velocity is a big question mark. He couldn't hack it last year.
  17. a700hitter
    How would Friday night be for you?
  18. a700hitter
    How was his velocity?
  19. a700hitter
    That is a pretty low bar. Not taking that bet would be a huge nonconfidence vote.
  20. a700hitter
    Okay
  21. a700hitter
    What time? I'm not sure if everyone will be available on Easter. How about Friday night?
  22. a700hitter
    I gave a blanket invitation to all TalkSox members. I will send you an invitation link to your pm inbox if you should decide that you have the fortitude and skills to take on me, Pal, iortiz and UN among others.

    Calling Leon a virtual clone of Vasquez may have been the silliest thing that you have posted here.
  24. a700hitter
    I agree.
