I was thinking the same thing. I was wondering where he stashed his 30 of Natty Ice.

I keep thinking you arent logging in from a group home but then you post dumb s*** like this.

By the way, Buster Posey is going to be a star. The Giants are only going to get better

We are now 5 minutes into the offseason. 15 more days until all hell breaks loose. I love the hot stove, but will miss baseball

Congratulations to the Giants. They built their pitching staff from within and it won them a World Series.

Some guys parlay a great postseason into a contract. Others have been dominant over the past few yrs and a great postseason increases their value by a little. Lee was a CY winner in 2008. He was an ace in 2009 and had a postseason to remember in a losing effort. He was an ace again in 2010 and had a great postseason aside from one start. Lee is the best pitcher available and might be the best pitcher in baseball. His postseason will have little to do with his contract.

I'd have Wilson warming and bring him in if Lincecum allows a runner

Cliff Lee missed and paid for it.

Rent-a-Wreck comes through again.

This has been a snoozer of a world series so far. It took the rangers 2 games to recover from Lee getting creamed. Jonathan Sanchez beat himself in Game 3 and since Bumgartner toed the rubber, the Rangers havent scored in 15 innings. This has been a one-sided affair.

Lincecum is making a great lineup look ill. I know Lee is getting a lot of pub, but Lincecum has been just as good. He's dropped some mph on his FB since he came up, but his location has been impeccable. And what I like about Lincecum is his ability to elevate a 91-93mph fastball and make it look 98mph after dropping a bowling ball change down and away

Both of these guys have been brilliant

I dont know. Vmart is the best catcher on the market, so losing him would hurt immensely offensively. They could do way better defensively

Gammons does not think VMart will be back

2/3 of my entire wardrobe is cold weather clothing. Mostly because it is bigger. But you'll be in long sleeves and pants for 6 months or more out of the year when you cross the Mason Dixon line. And you crossed it by a lot. Hope you bought a snowsuit. Cause getting to class will be tough when there is about 3 feet of snow on the ground.

Just wait. It's 37 degrees in Kalamazoo now, wait until it is -37 degrees in January.

Jeebus, I agree with you 100%

The Royals system is ranked #1 on the BA rankings and should start showing their clout by about 2012 or 2013, once their guys get a season or two under their belts

Mmmmmm Burger....

It's not a knock, BSN. It is who he is. And the Royals have a better SS prospect with a whole lot more offensive upside.

Iglesias is a glove first SS without much power projection. To the Royals, who now have Colon, dealing away their ace for a glove first SS is not the best idea Kelly took a step back this yr when he hit a wall at AA. My thought is that he rebounds at AA in 2011, but having a rough season definitely drops the prospect stock a bit, and his yr was very rough for him. Rizzo is a prospect who has shown a lot of power for a young man, but is waiting for the rest of his offensive game to develop in terms of contact and avg. He does draw a fair share of walks, but 132K's in a MiLB season is a ton. My thought on him is that he puts it together next yr and jumps to the forefront of the sox rankings in a big way Regardless, there arent any guys who headline a package right now. You had one in Buchholz, but now he is your #2 and you arent dealing him. That is what happens with top notch prospects. They graduate to the bigs and become irreplaceable. The sox have a lot of talent, but they dont have that one big prospect to headline a deal like the Yanks have with Montero. Therefore, any deal the sox try to make will involve them dealing away 2-3 of their top 5 organizational players and another 1-2 upper level prospects. This is something Theo has shown an unwillingness to do. And by no means am I pissing on the sox system here. They just graduated a lot of their prospects AND now have an upper level prospect gap that should fill by 2012. I love what they did in the draft in '09 and '10, and think that will start filling in at AA and AAA in 2 yrs.

Give Ranaudo some time. He hasnt thrown a pitch in anger as a pro yet. Who knows how long it will take him to get his s*** together

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/playoffs/2010/news/story?id=5738852 Rated lower than last yr and lower than 2008's Game 1. Sufficed to say, this WS is on pace to have the lowest viewership in recent memory, something I predicted if these two made it
