I looked into it a little bit and if I was going to do it I would be better off starting it in the offseason

with an eye towards migrating to SBN by next year. There are already a couple of really good ones such as

This is just another example of Maddon not knowing what he is doing. Instead of helping the pitchers he is hurting them. Ask Bob Gibson if not throwing is good for you.

If the Rays don’t want to fall behind by at least 6 runs, they should dump Kazmir. Why is he touted as such an awesome SP? Every game he starts, the Rays struggle to get all the runs back that he so easily gives up. He ain’t all that…

At least you aren't going to work.

I had to wake up, get ready for work, and then spend 45 minutes getting my car ready so I could drive for a 1.5 hours (normally 20 mins). Bleh. I hate the cold.

No mention of

Cromer dominating the competition?

Dave Cameron is awesome

So now, the Nationals have to pick a new leader, a new direction, and try to right a ship that is honestly quite damanged. Despite a new park, fans haven’t responded by paying to watch a bad team, and the farm system isn’t brimming with young talent ready to lead the team into the future. The roster is a mix of underachieving outfielders, overachieving outfielders, correctly achieving outfielders, a couple of backup outfielders, and some role player-type outfielders in camp on minor league contracts. There’s also a couple of pitchers hanging around.

Why yes, I am this big of an asshole in person.

Too bad the FC counts AGAINST his average.

Will help his OPS though

Lay off the stadium, Iwamura

by Orlando Rays on Mar 2, 2009 4:02 PM EST up reply actions  

It won't help his OPS

It will hurt it. You don’t get credit for reaching base on a FC.

I want Baldelli to be healthy enough to play in 150 games, I just hope he sucks. Like Greg Vaughn suck.

I mean like they did the top of the 9th after each batter in this game

but before then and now again it looks like we will have to wait until the half inning is over
