  1. Syndergaard is totally dealing. -Benjamin Franklin
  2. "Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace, but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me two out of three from the Cardinals or give me death!" -Patrick Henry
  3. Gsellman looks nasty in the pen. I'd rather take Lugo out and put him in the rotation. Matz probably gets one more chance before he's banished. And Oswalt looked pretty good for his major league debut. Threw strikes and really only gave up the dinger. Two hits, no walks, 4 K's in 4.2 innings.

  5. Needed another option: "Drinks his way out of baseball and finds out he owns a bar in Boston. Has an on-again, off-again relationship with Shelley Long."
  6. Struggle and finish out the year. Last night wasn't a good beginning. Nobody would trade for him right now, so they're stuck with him. I would expect a spot in the rotation would open up at some point due to the inevitable injuries, but I don't think it'll change his trajectory.
  7. Well, Grandy hit a walk-off HR for the Blue Jays last night against the Bosox. And good for him.

  9. Gotta respect a man willing to rock electric blue golf pants. Even at .195, is on a pace for 32 HR's and 146 RBI.
  10. Rosario is still raw. Has speed but doesn't know how to steal bases. Makes a great stop on a ball then throws it badly. Needs to learn plate discipline. These are all fixable things. The talent is certainly there in flashes. He'll get better. It's a bit of an indictment of our minor league system that these things weren't addressed at a lower level.

  12. Problem is that after Thor and deGrom there's not a lot to be excited about. Matz is erratic. Harvey is trying to prove that 6.70 ERA last year was no fluke. And Wheeler- who knows. I was never excited about Vargas, but I'm kind of anxious to see him now.
  13. I like the little pieces of chewing gum they put on the table to keep the balls from rolling away. And doing a 9 with baseballs is a lot harder than doing a 7. Dunno, the 2005 looks kinda....eh. Even Willie looks confused. So I went with George Thomas and his balls.
  14. Painful to watch Reyes at this point. Shoulda let him squeeze to get him going.
  15. These ain't the Marlins, Zack.
  16. Hm. Kid's a little raw.
  17. Last year it was April 30. Thor tears a lat and they get blown out 23-5. Season pretty much ended right there.

  19. Clear the mechanism, boys.
  20. You hope this isn't one of those games where later you say, 'boy, the season turned right there'. Because if the bullpen starts breaking down along with starters that can't get through 6 innings, there's Trouble in River City. Hopefully they shake it off and go get 'em tonight.
