  1. I hope the AL doesn't need Kimbrel tonight. I appreciate that they only used Sale for 1 inning.
  2. I was a cool bowler when I was much younger, especially after 6 or 7 beers.
  3. He'd be a good fit with the Yankems. Machado has a lot of A-rod in him and that's not a compliment.
  4. Plus Betts is a better bowler than Trout.
  5. Someone forgot to tell these guys that the HR derby was last night.
  6. Well, we've got Betts, and he's definitely Trout-like.
  7. Trout is today's Willie Mays.
  8. Harper was hoping he'd be facing his father tonight.
  9. As pitchers, the only thing Scherzer and Price have in common is their contracts.
  10. If the AL can get 7 from Sale, it would give their BP a well-earned rest.
  11. It doesn't appear that the nickname 'BIG GAME' will ever be used to describe Price.
  12. Once upon a time the ASG was played as a matter of pride by the players to prove their league was better than the other. The gams was played seriously and was good entertainment because it was played seriously. Now we've come to a time where that pride of league pretty much doesn't exist and the game is almost played with the seriousness of the celebrity softball game. Just a gathering of super rich people getting together for a pick-up ballgame. Unfortunately, if one wants the game to be played seriously now, money has to be involved. Perhaps if the players on the winning team each receives half a million dollars and the players on the losing team get nothing, the game would probably be played with more seriousness. That's me definitely being cynical, but I really believe it, seriously.
  13. On another thread I posted that as of today our starting staff was the following: Sale Hope Hope Hope Hope The four Hopes are 1)Price pitches the rest of the season as if he's worth at least half his contract; 2)Porcello bounces back after a terrible start; 3)E-rod comes back sooner rather than later; and 4)Wright also comes back soon, or DD can try to find another starter. I believe POR will rebound, however the other 3 Hopes are going to be tough to achieve. After a storybook 1st 98 games, let's Hope this book has a happy ending.
  14. If there has to be a HR derby, I believe the fair way to declare a winner is to have all 8 hitters go two rounds and whoever has the most HR's after those two rounds wins. If there's a tie, then those hitters do a 2 minute round to determine a winner.
  15. Didn't you watch the celebrity softball game? AL won so they get home field advantage in the WS.
  16. The one time E-rod did hustle to cover 1st and look what happened. Better if he had just stayed on the mound.
  17. There's a lot of openings recently in the picking fruit job market.
  18. That should increase Harper's WAR #.
  19. You know you're a redneck when your dad's name is Possum.
  20. I think his dad's name is Possum.
  21. If the powers that be ever do a DELIVERANCE 2, Harper would be perfect for it. That guy just screams DUELING BANJOS.
  22. This Max Muncy of the Dodgers seems to have a career line similar to JD Martinez.
