    I think that it is always going to be a crapshoot with relievers unless you are willing to go after the next Kimbrel whoever he might be. it is obvious once again that we have the right guy doing the searching for us. I hope we never sign another journeyman dufous and hope that they can recapture past glory. With that in mind, I think that if we can't get just little excited about what we saw from Thornbug and Brasier last night then there is something wrong. Two power arms coming off serious injuries. if they are for real, we are fine. I also like very much what Valezquez has given us. It would be nice to have a power armed lefty coming out of the pen but until one falls from the sky probably won't happen. Not buying anymore Robbie Scott - sorry. I'm also over pretending that Joe Kelly is the guy you want in any high leverage situation, way to inconsistent for me. Maybe it is his brain and not his arm that troubles me. Still serves a purpose I just don't like him late in games.

    I love that memory too but what I love the most is your willingness to share those memories with us.

    Not sure I follow what you are saying here.

    That's a good way of looking at things.

    i think the post season format has changed so dramatically that this is crapshoot for sure. so many more games. mathewson koufax gibson hershiser ford/palmer

    That is the absolute truth. When these guys are stinking it up, they expect the criticism. That is part of being a passionate fan. The truth of the matter is that if they are any good they are harder on themselves than we can ever be. Saying you want the guy to get better doesn't mean you wanted him traded. There are certainly some f***ing dopes who post here but everybody should relax - we all love JBJ.

    I guess I just don't see it the same way regardless of the thread's name. Guess I 'll just speak for me. If he continues to hit, I would bet on him staying but if he doesn't they likely will listen to offers for him if there are any. I don't think the trade talk lights up to brightly for an outfielder who can't hit .200 regardless of how good he is defensively. I'm pretty sure that what I just said could get twisted around to say that I want him gone. That seems to be how it works here. That would be a joke. I don't care how much people rattle on about his talents, I'm just as big a fan of his as anybody else. I've been watching him just like you for a long time. I would love nothing more than to see that outfield together forever but it is a business. I hope he continues to improve at the plate. He is heading in the right direction.

    I think that it is a clear majority SS of people here are pulling for JBJ big time. We all get how valuable a defensive player he is. That is obvious to anybody who knows anything. Saying that you want him to hit better is not suggesting that you want him gone. It is good to start to see him hit. He needs to not just for himself but for his team as well.

    ??? What did I miss? Who's taking shots at him?
  11. cp176
    Come on JBJ - here is hoping that he has in fact been listening and paying attention to the advice that he has been given otherwise known as coaching. If he hits just a little, what's not to love about that outfield. Having gold glover Martinez to back them up doesn't hurt!

    I hate the rules changes around the second base bag
  13. cp176
    yup plus Happ's lazy ass play on ball in front of the plate.

    earned in one way - boys in the dugout caught it! tremendous
  15. cp176
    tough tough team - starts right there in the dugout

    10 years right now!!!
  17. cp176
    what a show!!!!!

    My guess - Our current GM knew exactly who the best fit for this team would be in JD Martinez. DD I think is that good plus he is an old horse trader.

    Clearly Max is your primary supporter here Moon. We all need support. I'm just kidding I kind of like reading what both of you post. I don't always agree but that is a good thing and neither of you is particularly stubborn. I like that. Admitting that you are wrong now and then or even suggesting that you might not always be right is an attribute. I'm wrong a lot so no problem for me. lol Plus the fact that I love communicating with people who actually lived through the times that I have.

    good guess right! I was 11 in in '62 - my best year of little league!

    I love this historical perspective. My grandfather was able to experience the earliest championships but obviously never saw another one. Like so many others, he loved that team and listened to every game of every season. My passion for the game came from him.
  22. cp176
    What were you 10 then you young old coot?
  23. cp176
    I loved that team as well. I'm still convinced that Doug Griffin would have had a great career as our second baseman had he not been beaned. I also think that Siebert and Culp were better than that. Once again that pitching staff looked pretty good on the proverbial paper.

    That will be a spring, summer, and fall that I will never forget. All that ******** I just said about not being able to compare athletes and stuff today with yesterday forget some of that! - Captain Carl had quite possibly the greatest individual season that I have ever witnessed. "Th man we call Yaz!"- I bet you have the "Impossible dream" album. I had that as well as the "Havlicek Stole the Ball" - all lost in the shuffle of becoming a f***ing adult I say sadly although liife has been good.

    ditto for 1978 - Let's see - how many were we up on the the fourth of July?
