  1. Darnell Mcdonald's numbers post-All-Star .264/.355/.509/.864 WHAT?
  2. Can you explain to me what makes a strikeout a more significant out than a groundout/flyout? I'm not saying that to be facetious, as you'll notice I do lack baseball knowledge fairly frequently, and logically, I don't see the difference for a speed player who won't be hitting sac flies anyway, except possibly a downward trend, which has yet to knock him off career averages.
  3. Once again, .350 is still solid for a speed guy. Valuable, not elite.
  4. I don't find it annoying at all. You know what I think, because I say what I think. If this team had a better RF, we would not have seen Burnett turn a 11.90 ERA in August to a 1.50 ERA in September. I also think that when you have a shot at the world series, you don't skimp on trades, and let guys like Pence, Beltran, and Bourn go to your competitors while you're trotting out Mcdonald into the oufielder three days a week because you want to save prospects that won't amount to anything. You and I agree on this. But the way you went about trying to educate us on Wheeler's potential for failure seems very biased. And that's the point I was arguing. You've taken a very strong position that you have no opinion on the matter, yet you seem resistant to the posibility that he could turn into elite talent, and that the trade was a huge mistake, even if that happens to be in hindsight.
  5. That makes sense. Hopefully this series goes more like the second one, rather than the first.
  6. You have time and time again criticized the FO for not getting another outfielder, and your (and my own) number one choice Beltran has been a bad trade for the Giants. You have then argued for one mystery scouting report, which contradicts about a thousand other scouting reports that say glowing things about him, and claim him to be one of the best pitching prospects in baseball. That's where this confusion has come from, being able to differentiate between your opinion, and the opinion of a random scout that you happened to be defending pretty strongly. Do not blame me for mistaking a position you're defending with a position that is your own.
  7. How is it that the Red Sox got stuck playing three series against the AL champs?
  8. This is pure speculation. You know absolutely nothing about the kid, and are biased against him because you were so interested in Beltran.
  9. Caron made an Snake Plissken reference. Ohhh man.
  10. He f***ing checked.
  11. Meh, I'll take a single:lol:
  12. Scutaro home run. Calling it.
  13. Is it just me, or is a smirk a pre-requisite for being a Yankee?
  14. Bard and Papelbon had some days off before pitching last night, so they should both be available.
  15. Its called wishful thinking
  16. Won't work. Dice-k gave a few million to the Japanese relief fund, and everyone still was hammering him.
  17. Granderson broke his wrist!!!!
  18. Once again, the problem is the union. They would fight a move like that, and their labor contract runs through 2014.
  19. Cutting an entire union is a huge PR disaster. There are 46 umpires, with 22 subs. I really don't understand how they managed to get such a vicegrip on the MLB's balls, but the simple fact that Joe West still has a job says a lot.
