having an actual shortstop will be nice.

i'm not beating a dead horse here at all....at least not trying to
but it sort of pisses me off that we traded a great glove SS for a guy we are paying craploads of money to, and who we knew was not going to be a good SS, just so we could turn around and trade for ANOTHER ss in futile hope that he will turn his season around. giant fuck up all around on management’s part. if they were desperate to get rid of boog, they would have been much better off trading for a real SS the first time around.

boog just wasn't going to be a cardinal this year. it had nothing to do with his replacement.

i know. but the point is, when we traded boog, we should have gotten an actual SS
i understand that he had to go for whatever reason. but the replacement was stupid.

this is what I was thinking.
Mike Shannon: "That strikeout was brought to you by...by...well, I don't know what it was brought to you by!"
John Rooney: "It wasn't brought to you by anything Mike."
i was going to say the same thing in the other thread
Basically the reasoning for Theriot was that they felt he could be a great SS and provided a much better bat than Ryan and got on base more than Ryan. For all I cared, Ryan could have batted .200, as long as he has that amazing defense, seeing as how the majority of our rotation depends on groundballs.
I don’t mind Furcal, but this just proves what we’ve known all along….Boog, like Colby “had to go.”

There's definitely going to be a 2B platoon.
I’m guessing Descalso will switch mainly to covered 3rd during Freese’s rests, and Theriot’s going to platoon with Skip, and occasionally cover short
Still not a werewolf.
Furcal at SS
Theriot/Schumaker/Descalso platoon at 2B until punto comes back, in which case one of them gets DFA’d/memphis
yeah, the roster is going to be really crunched now.
greene foes down, i’m assuming. when craig comes back, cruz shall go down. when punto comes back i GUESS descalso. but that really sucks.

Descalso does not go down for Punto...
Descalso is now an average major league hitter (or almost average) and above average with the glove. He’s a permanent fixture. I suspect Corey Patterson will get the hell out and we’ll roll with Skip as the backup CF.
DFA Patterson!!!
skip was primarily a center fielder for a long time.
i think he was our starting CF’er for a season or two.

I suspect Furcal, Berkman, and Freese will be so fragile we might see 2-3 second baseman in the lineup most nights.

So for Miller, Jenkins, Craig, and Kelly...
we could’ve had Ubaldo.
Glad that didn’t happen. This place would’ve unsploded.

The Indians didn't give up a player at Miller's level
so I’m reluctant with that comp to the deal.

I was going to say Martinez...
buy White > Jenkins so to make up for that I put in Miller. Pomeranz was in the mid teens in that last BA prospect list.
DFA Patterson!!!
sure, but I think most of White's value is being in the majors already
Miller probably makes the need for craig or jenkins inclusion unnecessary, maybe Lynn+Miller+Craig+Kelly is closer IMO.

I think I value Lynn more than Jenkins...
Lynn looks damn good and can probably hold down a rotation spot immediately.

The Rockies now have
Chacin, Nicasio, Rodgers, White, Pomeranz, Friedrich, Parker, Matzek, Tago and soon Tyler Anderson for the next 5 years. It sucks to lose Jimenez but adding depth like this gives them a longer window.

I've only heard of
Chacin, Pomeranz and White, and I live in Colorado. Shows how much I follow the home state team…

I do like how you said “remember when he was a douchebag” implying I’m not a douchebag now.
I always wondered why I was called douchebag then and then one day, out of curiosity, I went on urban dictionary and checked out their definition
An individual who has an over-inflated sense of self worth, compounded by a low level of intellegence, behaving ridiculously in front of colleagues with no sense of how moronic he appears.
Emphasis mine. So then I was like wow… combined with my literally zero knowledge of sabermetrics, and weird thinking that everybody was dying to read my articles, it almost fit the description to a tee.

What LESS HATEFUL?!?!?!?
Don’t you know that the other side is nothing but communists/fascists, fundamentalists/godless heathens, and corrupted by corporations/unions?
I bet its Jones. It seems like the org has given up on him a bit after his demotion back down to AA.
It looks like Mo may have actually made a decent trade for once (obviously we will have to see the money/prospect involved) as long as it isn’t Pham or Tavares. The farm is really weak at SS, so maybe we will even have a shot to bring him back next year instead of Theriot if he plays well and can stay healthy, not by picking up his option, of course but even if he plays well down the stretch I can’t imagine he would draw another multi-year deal and even at one-year, 5 million or so he wouldn’t be too much more expensive than Theriot after arbitration. Any thoughts?
I am still pretty surprised by this trade though. I was thinking a few weeks back what a nice buy-low pick up Furcal would be. I grew up in Atlanta and saw him play quite a bit, but he never really got along with Cox and had his share of off the field problems, so I didn’t think there was anyway he would be a guy TLR would want on the team. It will be interesting to see how they get along.

Ummm sure...
not up on my religious stories to know the finer points of the jokes I make.
"…this crowd is on their feet for the Canadian Star Spangled Banner." - Mike Shannon
the immaculate conception
is the catholic doctrine that mary was sinless up until she gave birth to jesus.
the virgin birth is the doctrine that mary didn’t have sex and was instead impregnated by the holy spirit.
i assume, based on the context of the conversation, you were going for the second thing. /overthinking /religion

It's not that hard really.
Considering the other sports are usually once a week. So you pay attention to that game that one day and you qualify for die-hard.
Baseball die-hards are the ones who truly spend every day on baseball though.
I don’t think the other sports nearly take away that much of their time so if you’re only baseball, you’re probably still “too much” until November hits.

2002-ish
I missed a month and got shut off. Then I got caught up and got my phone turned back on. I needed my phone for work so I begged them to turn my service back on for the couple of days it would take for the check to get there, and they actually did. They gave me some sort of credit. Then when they took the credit away a few weeks later, they shut me off again. I had to go thru this incredible rigamarole (up to including getting a photocopy of the check from my bank and faxing it to Sprint) to prove to them that they had actually deposited my check.
So I was back on for a while, and eventually they randomly shut me off again for no reason and I told them to go fuck themselves. They sent me to collections and I told them to sue me. I got nastygrams in the mail for years, and it was all bullshit. They wanted me to pay them twice for services I wasn’t getting.

Even so, we have a good 4th OF in Adron Chambers, hell even Andrew Brown
I say good, but what I really mean is that they are young and unproven and worth over trading for someone based of MiLB stats.

But we already got Corey Patterson...
so that would be a waste.

oh hell no
Raconteurs > the Stripes. Meg White can’t play.

I agree
But Jack White wrote better stuff when he was with her, and I’m pretty sure he played drums in the studio recordings.

don't get me wrong, I don't hate the Stripes really
it’s just gimmicky as hell. Plus I’m not a fan of the duo thing. You have to truly rip it the fuck up to make a rock duo work. Just about every duo band would be improved IMHO with a bass player.

Planning on seeing them at Lolla...
woohoo

yeah
that’s some cool shit I don’t know very well. Other quality duos off the top of my head: Lightning Bolt and Cheval de Frise.

I agree
But Jack White was on peak form with his songwriting and singing, and he overdubbed bass and other guitars sometimes.
I really like the White Stripes. Only their last album isn’t great.

i posit that "best"
is mostly a subjective term and this conversation will probably be based on opinion rather than something that could be termed “statistical goodness of music”, but a couple bands from the last ten years that i think are better than the white stripes, off the top of my head:
1. the national
2. the dear hunter
3. manchester orchestra
4. okkervil river
5. the arcade fire
i don’t even think that the white stripes is the best jack white project. but to each his own, and all the bands i just listed are very different from the white stripes.

Music question.
I’ve never gotten into the Strokes, but never had much exposure other than a couple of hits in 2002.
Are they worth the attempt? I’ve never really had the desire to try ‘em out, but I’ve got some friends who swear by them.
Still not a werewolf.
One of my friends loves them
I’m not really a fan, but I haven’t heard a ton of their catalogue.

I always thought they were way overrated
all style, no substance.

they're hit or miss.
i like some of their stuff but then a lot of it is meh.

my VEB absence was due in large part to a couple of moves.

i haven't lived in one place
longer than 8 years in my whole life, and all my moves have been more than 600 miles.
with that, it’s time for bed. good night all, see you tomorrow (or later today).

As a manager? Heck no.
I mean, look, if a man will stoop as low as doing a commercial (infomercial, even) for Ray Vinson, then he’s obvious willing to do anything for money. As long as he keeps getting a job offer, well, he’s going to manage.
With the Cardinals?
Maybe. If the Cardinals look like they are rebuilding next year (no Pujols, no Berkman, no Jackson re-signed) he might not be back.
Indeed, what was it, last year? The year before, he reluctantly came back to the Cardinals after pursuing another job (Mets? Can’t remember).
And now there are rumors he’s after the White Sox job…
