    Is Panda backing up Shaw?
  2. jad
    I hate the bastard. Hope he gets rocked, humiliated, and booed off the field ... well, provided that, say, the RS brass walk into Schwab's, say, where there's some 19-year-old who throws 100 mph with a devastating splitter who's willing to sign for the minimum for 5 years and turns out to win 30 games a year and ... and ... and ... You know, under that condition.

    Wow. I don't know where you teach, but I'm many years older than you, like you a former marathon runner, chain smoker before that, have 35 years at my school and (alas? I guess?) times were NEVER that way at any place I've taught!
  4. jad
    Well, why not use Sale? or maybe Kimbrel on his off days?
  5. jad
    Move here! (I realize LA doesn't have the wonderful spring weather you have in NE, but it might be worth the sacrifice).
  6. jad
    Ha. No surprise. It was impossible to play then without getting spiked with those screw-on cleats. He died,what, 2 or 3 years ago?
  7. jad
    No. Maine. The only games we got were the Giants (football), and I hated them the same way I had been trained to hate the Yankees. I rooted for whoever played against them, and my teams were variously Browns (bec. of J. Brown), Eagles (Chuck B played both ways), Colts (bec. of the greatest game ever played) and finally the Packers. I believe Dallas soon occupied the "hate-at-all-costs" approach I had used as a kid for the Giants. (Wietecha--the name is vaguely familiar, so I looked him up-- is a little late for me).

    By the time the Patriots were invented, my NFL allegiances were already formed. I would no more root for them than I would for the Braves.
  9. jad
    Yup. That's what I'm hoping for. Eat the damn cake and worry about seconds tomorrow.

    For hitting, you need a large sample. For fielding, you don't. You don't make a catch like that, or the many throws he's made this season because you got lucky. It would take 10 minutes of fungo hitting (do they still use fungo bats?) to determine that this guy's defensive skills rock!

    The argument for keeping him from vesting is essentially: let the RS have a worthless Hanley and throw away 20million this year rather than next year? I'd rather get a 20mil Hanley this year and hope for the best in the future.
  12. jad
    I wouldn't know of course, but I (I mean others) have been using not that site, but sites similar to it for years with no adverse effects (other than occasional irritation about having to refuse to download any of the things offered me, I mean them).
  13. jad
    OK. So since you can see into the future, please tell me whether the RS will win a championship this year? or next? Because I get confused some times thinking about that, and it will be much easier to follow the team once I know.
  14. jad
    Never saw that one. Yeah, that was pretty decent too.
  15. jad
    OK. That's the best catch I've ever seen.
  16. jad
    "Throwing salad and acting like you got hair." (I love Eck!)
  17. jad
    What a managerial catastrophe! Hanley is sure to "vest" at this rate. Gotta sit him, and maybe fire Cora for incompetence.
  18. jad
    Yup. Betts out. Not good! That slide looked really bad.
  19. jad
    Yeah, he's fragile, injured all the time, no power, and obviously can't come back from injury. Just waive him.
  20. jad
    Why would you eat at Olive Garden if there aren't any?
  21. jad
    How long was the delay? 45 minutes? I agree that's long, but MLB pitchers and their bodies have to be used to dealing with long long delays between innings routinely. So there's no magical point,is there, where you "tighten up." Any physiologists out there who know? (i.e., if say, something like 15-20 minutes is ok, but a half-hour or more is difficult to deal with?) The only tiring part might be the time required to warm up? not the pitching itself.
  22. jad
    Weather claims ending around 10, so no worries. (Nice fielding by the Yanks, by the way! both in LF, home, and earlier 2nd.)
  23. jad
    Sure! We're all doctors here. We need a chance to exercise our expertise. Go for it!
  24. jad
    Let's hope that's still what they're saying tomorrow.
  25. jad
    Well, this is a silly argument, and you're changing the facts as you go. You said 5-6", which I thought was ridiculous; you now say it was a foot (I erredin accepting what you said the first time as what you meant). And I'm guessing (you apparently know, but I don't) that Hanley would not have started to swing at a pitch a foot inside that "would" have hit him square in the ribs. Maybe it "would" have, but that "would" not be supported at all by the video replay, which you may as well claim now is likely doctored and not real evidence.
