  1. I believe that comment would be better directed at the paranoid racist who prompted it.
  2. I believe this is why most folks think of Trump supporters the way they do.
  3. I'm more of a home-grown guy myself. It makes the games last longer.
  4. They suck. I expect them to do even worse tonight.
  5. But ... but ... the RS weren't in it! (As to the DSwS post--I'm not sure many LAD fans wake up in the middle of the night wondering: 'But what do Red Sox fans think?')
  6. Yes, but then which team won the WS last year? In any case, Bloom should give Verdugo a huge raise, since his performance basically kept Bloom his job!
  7. ... or their superstar comes up in the clutch and hits what should be a game-winning laser that just happens to find The Shift.
  8. Betters always assume others think the way they do. But they don't.
  9. How about Vazquez's performance? Pretty hard to get half your team's hits, make a great play in the last inning, and still be the goat.
  10. Why is it so difficult for RS to determine that they could have the same batting order by putting their .125 hitter 9th?
  11. If you have a broker who uses phrases like that, you need to get a different broker.
  12. Another horrible swing by Santana. If he's going to swing like that, he may as well just take every pitch and hope for a walk.
  13. What a dumb-ass line-up. If you want Santana (.125) to hit before your good hitters, PUT HIM NINTH for Crise sake
  14. But at least he made up for it with his base-running prowess.
  15. It's an idiotic tactic looking for a 'typical' lead-off hitter. You may as well just pencil in your 9th hitter as first, as that's what it comes down to. Why would you want Santana to have as many or more AB's than any of the 2-5 hitters?
  16. Joe C and Merloni spent a long time talking about that this afternoon. This is an area where 'unwritten Old School' rules or code might work ... but it won't! I have no idea how they are going to police this, except perhaps with random testing and such severe penalties, players will simply stop doing it ... (or not.)
  17. How bad? Probably better, alas, than anyone who might replace them. I think it's time to let the players call their own balls/strikes, and close plays at first. If there's a dispute, let the fans decide, who are never wrong.
  18. I suppose once you agree to start an inning, you can't stop in the middle because the field is unplayable? (i.e., you can't really watch O. unable to throw strikes and say 'sorry, our bad; let's stop it right here).
  19. We're getting now what Boston will get soon. Looks like it will be an hour delay when it comes.
  20. Ah, Thanks! (I can't read his posts, because he assumes that anything I say is hurtful and mean.)
  21. I don't get it!
  22. Yeah, those 7-run 11th innings can be tough to overcome.
  23. You have five Stanley Cups! (Clippers fan here, btw).
  24. At least, unlike the Jays, we didn't lose by giving up 5 walks in the 9th.
  25. No one but you used the term "high caliber". I was just wondering how 5-2 is what you described it as. (But then, for some reason, neither of us paid the slightest attention to the other one's demand that we not read each others posts).
