sorry futureman and red
didn’t see them. I came over, saw no front page thread, and put one up…stat.
went to fangraphs
2008 Kazmir: K’s per 9 is at 9.81, K:BB at 2.37, average against is .223, WHIP is 1.27, and FIP is 4.37

I've been thinking the past few days
that the Phils are going to win this thing

Smell the Glove

now the "short" stories are annoying
Why couldn’t we have reviewed the rules, visited the ballpark, done the team histories … during the pre-game show.
I feel we’re owed a chalupa.

you have got to throw strikes. This is the bottom of the order in a stars-and-scrubs lineup. If you can’t get these guys out, you’re going to get killed by Rollins, Werth, Utley, and Burrell.

that he would put the over/under on him saying Devil Rays at 3 adn he would bet the over. Maybe he put money on it and wants to lock up the bet early.

No he wouldn't
He’d have to do it maybe 5 times a year because teams just wouldn’t employ the shift anymore if he demonstrated ANY ability to beat it.

well if youre talking solely about beating the TLR shift
then its about Howard showing his ‘manhood’
Howard will not see a righty
in a key situation in the 7th inning or later the entire series. The Rays have at least 3 lefties in their pen and if Manuel doesn’t get it through his cranium that he needs to split Utley and Howard in the batting order, Utley won’t see any righties in a key situation in the 7th inning or later the entire series either.
Rollins Utley Burrell Howard Victorino
Everyone is scared of Victorino right now anyway before anyone makes the “protection” argument

put Werth in there 2nd
Rollins, Werth, Utley, Burrell, Howard, Victorino
Howard is so bad against lefties, you could make a pretty defensible argument for moving him behind Victorino when Kazmir starts.
i would rather put rollins lower in the order
lower OBP and he has more power and can make use of his speed and generate runs in front of the bottm of the order. According to Bill James it doesnt really matter either way though.

Is it fraud when Cubs ownership says "this year is our year?" Can somebody sue for that?
channel 2 in st. louis, right?
go to your guide and list “all hd” and you should be able to find it pretty quick
Yes, channel 2 is correct.
To bad I’m a poor college student who’s TV is 20 years old…I can only dream of HD
Thanks for the help

because you get the feeling that if he wanted to, he could totally nail every single girl he has on that show. It’s hilarious. It’s like the girls get pissed at their boyfriends/husbands when they come home.
Also, you always get that look on the guys face when they see Curtis. It’s like, “oh, fuck”. It’s like they can hear the countdown on the relationship ending clock has just started.

That was a shitty explination by the umpire
He’s basically saying if the pitchers foot moves even a centimeter, he’s stepping toward first. But the problem is, even though he slightly stepped toward first, he stepped even more toward home.
Balk.

they should watch balks like they do
strike zones with the cameras. start monitoring them throughout the season and follow accordingly

"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."

otoh Mastercard feels us
LOTS of Cards shots. Including voodoo cursing at a Cubs game.
Still trying to find audio of the radio ad running locally… I’d kill for the exact transcript, but I’m always on the road when I hear it. Something like “soda and fast food with a Cubs fan… $25. dinner at a fancy restaurant [violin background] with a Cardinals fan… $125. Finding your perfect match: priceless.”
I’m liking MC.

Is that the national

it's only radio
Probably only local stations. I’d love a rip of it. That’s something that deserves some internet fame.

I don't think that's correct
I was under the impression you couldn’t add a player to your roster once it’s set no matter what. The Cards had issues with this in regards to Rolen a couple of years ago.

for Pena. He flopped 2 sliders right over the middle of the plate and he never even had 1 decent swing. Horrible.
