    I'm not going to bother to read it. I've already blocked one of these participants. If I need stupid obscenities, I can always just listen in on a middle school playground.

    How about Mays? I only saw him towards the end. (Not a lot of Giants games on tv in Maine in the 50s.) Of RS of that era, Pearsall was pretty great to watch (but hard to judge in terms of modern players).

    I get the idea, but then there's also the reality that defensively Nunland is not equal to JBJ even if you put both of them in CF at once (since only one of them will be able to throw on each play).

    Little guys? You mean like Pedro Martinez? or Luis Aparacio?

    Whoa. I ... Well ... Maybe I s ... started 4/20 too soon ...

    Ta hell with this. Time to celebrate the holiday instead.
  7. jad
    You mean both of them?
  8. jad
    Oh yes. But Buddin became a legend, no? Then let's not forget Billy Jurges, who replaced Higgins, did ok for half a season (with his signature move of hustling rather than walking to the mound to change pitchers), then succumbed to the reality that was the Yawkey Sox and as I recall essentially suffered a nervous breakdown in year 2.

    Doesn't sound ridiculous to me. All of us have likely worked at jobs that were 'no fun', and when that was the case, we didn't work as well or hard as we did in other jobs. When it's a drag going to work, all the money does is make you feel grimly that you really have no choice but to get on the damn train.

    One game. You know. Small sample. Bottom line is before that he was hitless for THREE DAYS! Sat-Monday. Sunday and Monday he didn't even get a foul ball. DFA him.

    Is Panda backing up Shaw?

    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!
  14. jad
    Well, why not use Sale? or maybe Kimbrel on his off days?
  15. jad
    Move here! (I realize LA doesn't have the wonderful spring weather you have in NE, but it might be worth the sacrifice).
  16. 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?
  17. 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).
  18. jad
    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.
  19. 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!
  21. jad
    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.
  22. 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).
  23. 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.
  24. jad
    Never saw that one. Yeah, that was pretty decent too.
  25. jad
    OK. That's the best catch I've ever seen.
