    Eh, I just thought it was in interesting stat. Apparently he's better than Jose Molina, Moeller and Posada this year put together.

    I will answer with another question: What's more likely, that a MLB GM would look into tampering charges because of a NYT article written by a guy with an agenda, or because he actually believes there might be something there - even if he only believes it because he is miffed about the whole situation?

    So why not deny the allegations outright then and there, and squash the story? Colletti decided not to file tampering charges. That does not necessarily mean that he doesn't think any tampering took place. According to the Chass article, even the owner thought some level of tampering took place. I would argue that Colletti probably decided not to file tampering charges for the following reasons: 1. It could strain relationships with other GMs in the majors and make it harder to do business. 2. It could backfire on him and some of his own rule-bending could come to light. 3. A sort of 'code of honor' among GMs, where all teams do underhanded things to gain a competitive edge, and there is an informal 'don't snitch' policy. We saw something very similar to this in the NFL, where coaches like Herm Edwards and Tony Dungy had underhanded things happen to them at Patriots home games, but never filed charges, and didn't even make mention until years later. For them, it may have been more about reason number 3. But nevertheless, it doesn't mean nothing happened in those games.

    Of course it is. So is almost the entire argument between Gom and JHB.

    Unfortunately this trade leaves Big Sexy as the toughest guy on the team. Ouch.

    I'm guessing Moeller gets sent down and Bruney takes Farnsworth's spot?

    Forgive my ignorance on the subject, but just because tampering charges were never filed, and it was never investigated, doesn't mean that nothing is going on right? It just means that the Dodgers chose not to pursue it. I think Colletti's quote in the article is pretty telling in that he does not deny the allegations, but instead says that they are mulling it over. Clearly he thinks there is at least a possibility that something went on, and the allegations are not the solely the child of Murray Chass.

    ..but their pitching is much better, even without Harden and Blanton. Is that somehow irrelevant?

    I would just like to point out that the Sox are 3-4 vs. said little league team this year, and only 5-4 vs. said s*** team. a700hitter's Wild Card Standings 1. Red Sox --World Champions ... 3. A s*** team - 4.0 GB, 3 in the L column 4. A Little League team - 5.0 GB, 4 in the L column

    my fault, i miscounted. I'll get back to you tonight
  25. 26 Reasons to Hate Us
    Look closer at those 3 outings, and you'll see that he really is not being overused. *3 days off* July 5 v. BOS 1 IP, 25 pitches July 6 v. BOS 2 IP, 16 pitches *2 days off* July 9 v. TB 2 IP, 30 pitches That's 3 appearances in 8 days. Yes, he's been brought in for 2 innings since the offense can't get it done, but his pitch counts are within reason, and he's on pace for 75.1 IP this year. If our closer can't throw 71 pitches in 8 days, we have larger problems than overuse.
