    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?

    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.
  4. 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.

    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).
  8. 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.
  9. jad
    Never saw that one. Yeah, that was pretty decent too.
  10. jad
    OK. That's the best catch I've ever seen.

    "Throwing salad and acting like you got hair." (I love Eck!)

    What a managerial catastrophe! Hanley is sure to "vest" at this rate. Gotta sit him, and maybe fire Cora for incompetence.
  13. jad
    Yup. Betts out. Not good! That slide looked really bad.
  14. jad
    Yeah, he's fragile, injured all the time, no power, and obviously can't come back from injury. Just waive him.
  15. jad
    Why would you eat at Olive Garden if there aren't any?

    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.
  17. jad
    Weather claims ending around 10, so no worries. (Nice fielding by the Yanks, by the way! both in LF, home, and earlier 2nd.)
  18. jad
    Sure! We're all doctors here. We need a chance to exercise our expertise. Go for it!
  19. jad
    Let's hope that's still what they're saying tomorrow.
  20. 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.

    Old pitchers always talk about how much better they were in the past. Drysdale was especially eloquent about pitching inside (well, of course, he hit a lot of guys and threw behind them and got into brawls and all that ...). I am curious, though, about the notion that MLB pitchers never "miss location" by 5-6". That entails first knowing what "location" is. You may be in the pitcher's mind; I'm not. Do you mean where the catcher holds the glove? I see pitchers miss that by over half a foot on almost every at bat. And how do you explain the extraordinary phenomena of walks in the majors?
  22. jad
    What was wrong with the pitch? It was inside. I hate that he got hurt (maybe badly), but that was a great pitch and H almost swung at it.
  23. jad
    I despise Price and hope there's a way to get him out of a RS uniform. I also didn't see the game or get a detailed explanation for what happened. But what little I heard (persistent numbness in the fingertips) is certainly something I have experienced more than once while playing various sports in cold weather and I don't think it reflects on either my toughness or character. With more than small reluctance, I am willing to give this piece of crap a grudging pass on this.

    If only I got paid for the number of times I missed a joke, I'd be freaking Croesus! I too am amazed at that slide, although I suppose cleats aren't quite as lethal now as they were in my day and can't actually slice your leg off. I loved his childish tantrum at home plate! Slamming the bat down, and posturing theatrically to ensure that everyone got there in time to break up a fight which never got going.
  25. jad
    Cora needs to go. He loses the opener, and now his team is starting a losing streak with no end in sight. And letting Aaron Freaking Boone beat you? I mean who does that!!!
