  1. They just don't want to win this game.
  2. Robles. Holding my breath.
  3. Keith being Keith: "Villar is almost in Wilmer Flores' pants."
  4. That was a Murphyesque brain fart.

  6. Yeah, with a little timely hitting that could have been an 11-2 game. Let's hope Good Hovvey shows up tonight.
  7. No need to fear, Kelly Johnson will be active tonight.
  8. Centerfield wrote: There should be some sort of list where a team can put players that are hurt on the side and call up someone to take their place so that they don't have to play a man down. That would sure be helpful. Sandy should look into it.
  9. Edgy MD wrote: This game should be about 6-0 by now, right? Nelson hasn't shown me anything. Boy, they're letting the Brewers hang around. Better not cost them.
  10. Ceetar wrote: added the Budweiser landing, because Budweiser is always glad to throw more money at teams in exchange for banishing craft beer. They're actually very good at buying out craft breweries like: 10 Barrel Blue Point Breckenridge Devils Backbone Elysian Brewing Four Peaks Golden Road Goose Island Kona Brewing Redhook Brewery Shock Top Widmer Brewing Many of which are sold at Citi. So they get you either way.
  11. Hey, it worked last time. (Well, him + Uribe + Cespedes + Conforto + Reed + Clippard + Wright, anyway) I like to think of this as Soup Prevention.
  12. I'm guessing this is Kelly's last chance to do something of significance before he's replaced by, um, Kelly. [youtube:32zfo07i]a7D3GPKNcSI[/youtube:32zfo07i]
  13. As for Fielder, boy, signing fat guys to long-term deals never, ever ends well.
  14. John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: Frayed Knot wrote: Try it times two. DH starting at 4 The DH means they get to call someone up for Game 2. Traditionally that's been a pitcher but, with Lagares on the (maybe temporary) shelf, a position player may be more likely. Soupy's back! Just once, I'd like him to say, "No, I'm not worthy- choose someone else."
  15. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR. Juan Lagares has been diagnosed with a partially torn ligament in his left thumb. He will rejoin the team and not be placed on the disabled list.
  16. It's a small wedding party; you could wait things out. Moms and Dads nowhere to be seen; I guess they were the smart ones. Or maybe they and everybody else is back at the lodge, figuring NOBODY would be stupid enough to go out in this weather, regardless of what car they had. Dad's probably hitting the bourbon again, muttering about not trusting this doofus with his little girl. And then they come back, all wet and muddy; a bunch of broken heels and one of the bridesmaids has a sprained ankle and it turns out the guy who married them isn't really a reverend at all, he just paid for it on-line. Dad's really in his cups by now, and Mom is in tears because all those beautiful family shots they were going to take will be ruined. Groom's stepfather comes over to say, "Hey, we'll all be laughing about this in thirty years!", and Dad delivers a haymaker that sends Stepdad over the mahogany bar into the Cutty Sark, screaming "You and that goddamn Land Rover- it's all your fault, you bastard!!!!!"
  17. And either way, you have Lagares checked immediately on Saturday. If it is a break, or a tear, or some other serious injury, you bring someone in right away for Sunday. And this is what I can't understand. It's an almost pathological resistance to checking players out immediately, while they stay on the 25-man roster unable to play. They had Wright hang out for almost a week this way. The roster doesn't have a lot of flexibility to begin with, without operating short-handed.
  18. Vic Sage wrote: i remember when Crawford was a forum FA/trade favorite; we lusted after him. Now we can have him, and we don't want him... right? Right. He's terrible and has been almost from the moment he signed the contract.
  19. Derek Jeter, the blank Yankee billboard who spent his career waiting to be bought Yeeouch. Not that Derek cares anyway.
  20. I want to see an inning that gets away from Niese, where he's stomping all over the mound, glaring at his fielders and throwing fastballs down the middle. Because lord knows we've seen enough of those innings in a Mets uniform.
  21. Well, I hate that commercial enough for two people.
