    Ha . And today, the Reds pitchers throw a no-hitter. And they still lose.
  2. jad
    Who else has Bloom given him?
  3. jad
    I think we need to keep him as a place-holder for all those prospects we're going to get when we finally get rid of BOgey and Rafy.

    Why is Brasier still on this team? (Oh right. I forgot. We need to keep under the cap!)

    I think the part about what a good-looking guy Bogaerts is and how he would love to be the umpire checking his hands ... I found that a little much.
  6. jad
    He's no Eck.

    Mike Fornieles would like to discuss this further! (He, I see, began his career as a starter, but in the last six or seven years, late 50s--that's when I followed him--he pitched exclusively in relief.). And yes Ryne Duran was a hoot!
  8. jad
    I don't get it!

    If you're rebuilding, build around your best players, not around your worst. As even the Texas announcers say, what's the point of finding, developing, and bringing up players if, when they turn into stars, you don't try to retain them.

    I'm not sure what "defensive indifference" to a batter getting to first would refer to and how it's different from a FC. Maybe: runner on third with winning run, batter hits weak ground ball to pitcher, who just runs the guy back to third? thus 'indifferent' to the guy getting to first? Seems to me like a classic FC--the defense COULD have gotten the hitter out at first, but CHOSE to focus on something else. I can't think of a case where a fielder would be indifferent to hitter getting to first, which is the same as being 'indifferent' to an out: and that is never really the case, is it?

    You can't turn a corner until you reach one, and until the RS can win 2 in a row, I can't give them credit for being there.

    How about adding: striking out to end the ninth in a tie game, and ending up at second to start the tenth? (Change question to 'reach base'). And sure: coming in as a pinch runner at first AB (reg. player gets beaned), is probably no rarer than catcher interference.
  13. jad
    Yup. Me too. And then they got Mookie.
  14. jad
    Exactly.
  15. jad
    Yeah, and why do we have laws against murder, since they don't prevent murder? Also why have any traffic laws, since they don't prevent speeding or running stop signs?
  16. jad
    And once you fire the umps, exactly who are you going to replace them with? No matter who you put there, in every game, 50% of the fans will feel they were screwed.
  17. jad
    Molly! Oh yes! Yes to that! Yes yes yes!
  18. jad
    How about Al G. Bloom?
  19. jad
    I'd rather have Leopold Bloom running this franchise.
  20. jad
    I have complete confidence that they will not lose tonight.
  21. jad
    I assume that because I've been watching his presumed replacement play at 2B.
  22. jad
    And who are you going to delegate to execute that plan and find replacements: Bloom?
  23. jad
    I always turn the sound off when music comes on: S.C. is one of the worst. Close behind the SSpBanner. But the absolute worst, particularly when you're at the park and everyone expects you to stand and get all weepy chauvinistic is God Bl A.
  24. jad
    Let's just call these guys what they are (or will be, once Bloom gets rid of Bogey, Devers and JD): our "core." Just think how formidable they will be when joined by the boat-load of untested prospects we are so excited about getting.
  25. jad
    We'll find out once Bloom starts compiling his list of over-paid mediocrities to replace Bogey and Devers.
