  1. Swannie's lineup is BS. This is the lineup according to Kevin Burkhardt, indictating we have three Adam Dunns in the lineup, two of them at first and a third one at catcher. Also important to note is that we have Hitler on the mound.
  2. That's where he capitulates to reality. The cleanup slot is where he defies it. Could you be more human? I like Terry.
  3. I like Terry. I see a combination of capitulation and defiance in every lineup.
  4. Burkhardt says he's starting in center tonight, with sort of triples the WOW factor.
  5. Yeah, Floydie deserves to join McReynolds among leftfielders in this group. Cut ahead to about .50 here to get some the throwing plays. [youtube:2lu75hsb]Mxty8xnRchQ[/youtube:2lu75hsb]
  6. We need a third guy to group with Byrd and Ankiel in the allroid outfield.
  7. No order, but... Mays Youngblood Valentine Burnitz Hidalgo Francouer Sheff Snider Claudell McReynolds ...Ankiel. Mays, Sheff, and Snider were obviously past their best years, but make the cut nonetheless, if only honorarily. Hopefully Ankiel won't fall into that category, because he's not bringing much to the table, so he better bring all of it. Who else? Derek f'n' Bell? Endy? Timo kinda.
  8. I dunno. I was kinda thinking that Jordanny would be be demoted. Or detraded.
  9. I love players moved around. I think all good teams have versatile guys who get moved around. It's a good reminder to them and to everybody that their job is to hit and if they do that, the manager will find room for them. Murphy sure hasn't had a problem moving from second to third or second to first in the past.
  10. Three in a row for Kolb. This Card card lacks the Soviet realism qualities of his others, though. I'd like to retroactivel come out in support of the Garrett trade.
  11. Well, last night, in my head, I was Terry ripping apart the team before today's game. I was all, "Lucas? Where the fuck is Lucas? Lucas, you're our fourth-place hitter ever night for the next month. No exceptions. No days off. It's your job. Your team needs you. NOW GET OUT OF ON THE FIELD!" Ike? Stand up, Ike! It's your job to make me sorry I ever said that. Every day for the next 30 days I want you to punish me for that decision. NOW GET OUT ON THE FIELD!"
  12. Man on bench reading paper.
  13. There's that. In the short term, it's hard to project Satin or Flores (or Campbell) being more productive than Turner has been. They might provide more power and less OBP, and possibly have better long-range prospects, but in general, if they called up one of those guys today and sent down one of their outfielders (or jettisoned Byrd) they probably would be in the same situation tomorrow.
  14. Interesting, maybe? I thought LV already had 2 RHH first basemen in Campbell and Satin. Well, Campbell and Satin, like Flores as well, aren't so much firstbasemen as guys from elsewhere around the diamond who can hit pretty good compared to those guys at other positions, but aren't very good at playing them defensively. So getting Flores time at first and moving Satin to second is probably a pretty lateral move overall.
  15. As noted above, he's already admitted that he was symtomatic through a large chunk of last year, putting whatever he says this year about he issue in doubt.
  16. Aren't you married to a Yankee fan? I was posting at a Facebook page The Old Mole invited me to.

When I was a kid, I guess in the wake of the Redford film, "Gatsby" was a theme of many an adult party, and all my friends seemed to have photos of their parents in goofy ice cream suits and flapper dresses. It bothered me in a way I couldn't get until I read the book and saw the film in high school --- these people were dreadful, and to celebrate and stylize (or, for Luhrmann, hyperstylize) their taste, seems to be about invite folks into a dark place where extreme shallowness is elevated.

  19. Put aside the campaign to end the issue decisively by dealing Chamberlain and canonizing Rivera, my key takeaways are (1) that Wally got a scoop (!), and (2) it makes Yankees look bad no matter which way you slice it. I got caught up in a Facebook thread last night where guys were one-upping each other slobbering over Rivera. John Peters: Clearly Mariano is the class act here. Bill Peters: Of course, he is. He always is. John Peters: I think he's the classiest player ever. Edgy MD: *Throwing up things I don't even remember eating.* Bill Peters: They clearly need to release Chamberlain here. John Peters: Mariano deserves no less. Bill Peters: DECENCY deserves no less! Edgy MD: *Throwing up vital organs now.* John Peters: He obviously shouldn't be retiring. ...
  20. > Eddie and the Cruisers?
  21. Tonight, Chris Sale's turn to take a perfect game into the seventh.
  22. That's certainly the idea.
  23. Don't ever shush me again.
  24. For some reason I have more faith in them on the road against a tougher staff than at home against the Allegheneys. It's probably a good time to take Duda aside and tell him he's betting cleanup for the next month. Davis looked so bad on his last at-bat I wanted to cry. And his butt was flying out all series even on his pinch double. The notion that there are present indications that his troubles are behind him are wishful thinking.
  25. Damn, Sac. Those curves looked a lot juicier than that fastball you hacked at.
