    Treading water while the lifeboats row off, half full.

    That might be the worst ranking of anyone. I'm thinking we might be #11-14.

    I see 7, not counting 3-4 in the pen and 1-2 on the bench. C 1B 2B OF OF DH SP

    Mayer 1-2 w a 2B and BB (2 rbi) in a shortened game. Paulino 2-3 and Kavadas 1-2. Gonzalez went the full 5 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 4 K Portland lost 8-7 after allowing 4 runs in the bottom of the 9th and 3 in the bottom of the 10th! Wilson & Hamilton with 2 hits. The team walked 8 times! Murphy went 6 strong innings: 1 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 9 K. Woo lost 8-4. Stewart with a 2B and 3 rbi. Duran 2-4 w just 1 K. .

    From what I hear, he's got tremendous control but little command.

    The individual poster is named Mr. Strawman. There is not a single poster, I know of, who has not criticized Bloom more than 2-3 times. Not one. These guys love to play the persecuted, when all they do all day is persecute Bloom and anyone who tries to justify why he can't fill every hole on a limited budget.
  10. moonslav59
    Can you say strawman?

    Walter got drilled, tonight with Woo: 1.2 IP 5 H 6 ER 1 BB 2 K Duran has the team's only 2 hits, so far. Murphy is pitching a 1 hit shutout through 4 innings (1 BB/ 5 K)

    It's easy to bash anything and everything. It's the way of the world. Try asking for a better idea or plan, and all you get is gutless silence. Much is in hindsight, but when they happen to hit on something they criticized on day one, they become emboldened and never let us forget it.

    It takes time to start getting results from people you draft at young ages. Bloom is in the midst of improving the farm. It may end up sucking, and we'll all join you and your talk show callers in one big B loom bash. Expecting farm results, this quickly, is naive.
  14. moonslav59
    Right on cue as notin predicted. How about... Price Dalbec Budget Farm

    I guess we can all agree: we should have signed Suzuki and R Iglesias, instead of Story, Wacha, Hill, Diekman and Strahm. We'd be in first place by now.
  16. moonslav59
    lol!

    I'm just thinking his rehab will take him near to August/September, but yes, if we are in rebuild mode, and he's ready for the bigs, sure- call him up.
  18. moonslav59
    I'm sure a ton of talk show callers share your ideas on trading our stars before they actually were or will be traded.
  19. moonslav59
    I never said you said it. I said it, not you. Should I have drawn a picture?
  20. moonslav59
    He holds all positions, even contradictory ones, firmly in his grasp, and countless talk show callers agree.
  21. moonslav59
    All firmly entrenched in your minds.

    We basically traded almost our whole rotation: Lester, Lackey, Douront, and Peavy plus Andrew Miller. We also had another big dump, when we traded AGon, Beckett and Crawford for peanuts, but that was different in many ways. Both "sales" played a part in subsequent rings. It doesn't always have to end badly.
  23. moonslav59
    Of course, it's way different, but if we are out of it at the deadline, it makes sense to trade anyone who will be a FA, maybe even some we might want to re-sign, although that rarely happens. It actually does a favor for guys like Bogey, Nate and JD, since they no longer will have a lost comp pick attached to them, next winter- making more teams interested in signing them. This is not a fun time for me and probably no other fans, either, but it might be the best thing to do. You have even said, many times, we should trade guys we know we will not re-sign. Not having a fire sale is what makes no sense, assuming we are out of it.
