but wait there's more... a repost
Carp looms over The Cat, like a sabretooth tiger playing with its prey, and relates that he feels very good even for late in the season, thanks to the trainers; that he could hit Aaron Miles’…. pitches; and that no commercial compares to him talking to FSM.
The FSM producer tells him to STFU

Re: Mo
Yeah Yeah Yeah. Big talk. You’ll sign Miles and some inept shortstop cause they are gritty. TLR has you over a barrel. The shortstop may have hit 10 homers 10 years ago.

once upon a time The Cat invited Al to a Cat Fight, but he was booked up and Al was spurned
so today, the producer fucked up many times over by telling Carp the wrong time, and then telling him to wrap it up, which Carp took exception to. to prevent any kind of unexpected homicide, they allowed Carp to take up the time, which then cut off Al again, and so they were giving The Cat a hard time.
and then there was something about chicken wings or something, and Cal Eldred showed up, and Dan kept sticking up with Al in a syrupy disgusting way.

the more you knowwww [ding]
The city was founded in 1938 by real estate developer and state legislator Homer C. Ludden, who named it after his hometown of Surprise, Nebraska.
As legend has it, the city of Surprise was named by Dr. Anthony Swanson. Upon arriving in the area now known as Surprise, his intention was to only stay a few months as he and his wife, Mary Louis Swanson, were on their way West in search of fortune. After several months another group of fortune seekers passed through the settlement. When one of the new comers asked Dr. Swanson what his village was called he answered, “as the tea kettle keeps whistlin’, I say, I’m surprised me and Mary are still here!”. The newcomer misheard the doctor and from that day on the village was known as Surprise.

he said something wierd today when they were interviewing him before the game
he talked about his criteria. yada
Mo and bill need to offer the job.
the players need to be asked if they still want to listen to his schtick and then…..
and the fans/media, the average for a manager/coach is around seven years. 15 years is a long time, maybe it’s time for a change.

Yeah, I just don't know if there are enough positions to upgrade at to "add two 20 homer guys"
Unless he is assuming a healthy Freese is one of those guys or something. Will we end up signing another outfielder?
Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.
maybe he is thinking about replacing Freese?
and it sure sounds like they will sign another outfielder.

I dunno what to expect
Although, there seems to be such a pattern in his production this year that it is believable that it’s not some sort of crazy fluke. There is bound to be some regression—almost nobody is a “true 50 homer guy” in any sense. Pitchers could also figure something out and exploit it too. This is the big leagues after all.

maybe he has mastered the art of making pop ups only go out for home runs?

I don't know how the park effects play out
But it is an easy place to homer in, so that helps, but I think it would be tougher to hit doubles and triples. It’s not a huge outfield like in San Diego or Colorado…lot less ground to cover.

and while they don’t count towards positive BABIP, they don’t count as outs, either.

Sorry about the caps.

especially Lohse
I could see them making Skip more like a bench player, but Lohse is worth too much $ to bench or put in the bullpen, etc

craig should be penciled in as an OF, not a CI. they aren't going to let him play there (unless its 1B, which we hopefully don't need). and greene should also be utility, he can play MIF and CIF.

Well, he's in there for his offense, after all.

To me, Mozeliak giving TLR a deadline to decide if he's coming back confirms the obvious
John is sick of having to run all his ideas by Tony, and he wants to get moving as quick as possible in the offseason.

i love that anderson, greene, hamilton, and craig had 8 hits between them (both XB hits from craig!)
"We were men - flesh and blood - and we played baseball in the sunshine. We hit doubles off the wall, slid hard into second base. We had fights, and we made love. We sang songs and prayed on Sundays. . . . We felt pain. And we felt joy. There was a lot wrong with the world. But we weren't sad, man. We had the times of our lives." Buck O'Neil, from "The Soul of Baseball: A Road Trip Through Buck O'Neil's America."
