  1. "We have a lot of work to do to regain your confidence and support." 17.5% decline in attendance suggests that you do.
  2. I've not seen a single minute of this, but my colleague, a ChiSox fan, is livid over the attention the Red Sox have gotten while his team gets short-changed. He's writing a letter to PBS, even.
  3. Given the torrid finish by Troy Tolowitzki, I wonder if any of these three win the MVP? I suppose Votto has the best claim, and Gonzalez will probably steal some votes from Tulo (and vice versa).
  4. Both Bob Brenly and Fredi Gonzalez have withdrawn their names from candidacy for the Cubs managerial slot. Eric Wedge and Sandberg have interviewed, and Bob Melvin is slated to do so (as are Don Wakamatsu, Pat Listach and incumbent Mike Quade) according to ESPN. I think there will be over a dozen managerial changes this winter, and it's comforting to not see Bobby V among those apparently on the Cubs RADAR.
  5. Glashow repaired my knee in 1995 and it has not caused me any problems since. If he can fix me, Johan should be no problem!
  6. Sounds to me like they're trying to get the enemy loaded!
  7. What LWFS said.
  8. Why Warthen? Given injuries and the staff with which he works, isn't he doing well? Lots of shutouts from that staff, and the bullpen mismanagement can't be blamed on him.
  9. Every year I root for the Pirates to return to contention. Every year they disappoint.
  10. Jay Paton was a Yellowjacket, no?
  11. Team Martinez could be good, I think, particularly if you add Reginald Martinez Jackson.
  12. TM, you need to add Storm Davis to your rotation 1989: 19-7 4.36 1988: 16-7 3.70 <---OE: sez the ever left-out Bob Johnson
  13. One-page IGT. Our production equals that of the Mets. OE: D'oh!
  14. I don't get the love for Backman, either. There are literally dozens of candidates I'd consider before him. The Jerry Watch thread we had a few months back listed some really good ones (Stearns, Hershiser and Oquendo were my offerings, IIRC).
  15. That guy MUST be good. He was traded for A-Rod!
  16. AFL rosters announced today. Met assignments include pitchers Robert Carson and Josh Stinson (both of Binghamton), C Kai Gronaeur (St. Lucie) and IF Jordanny Valdespina (Bingo). An additional pair of pitchers and an OF to be determined will join pitching coach Ricky Bones on the Mesa Solar Sox.
  17. God, I miss Bobby. He was the most unprofessional player to ever play, or one of them," Mets manager Bobby Valentine told the New York Daily News, referring to the former relief pitcher-turned-commentator. "He threw bats in the stands, threw balls in the stands, fought with his manager. When he hit people it was because they hit a home run off him, not protection for his teammates." "This is the reason people switch off ESPN, because you have people with no knowledge of the game or the English language presenting the game we love." Valentine lamented how sports television is becoming a venue for controversy, rather than informed analysis. "When I was in uniform with him in Cincinnati (as a coach in 1993) he was known as anything but an enforcer," Valentine told reporters. "But he was known for what he's known for now, as a big mouth."
  18. Dibble complaines after Estes thre behind Clemens instead of at him following a Piazza beaning in the WS. "I have no use for this guy...Get him off the team" or words to that effect.
  19. "So for me, a little bit has to be put back on Strasburg here," Dibble said. "OK, you throw a pitch, it bothers your arm, and you immediately call out the manager and the trainer? Suck it up, kid. This is your profession. You chose to be a baseball player. You can't have the cavalry come in and save your butt every time you feel a little stiff shoulder, sore elbow. ... Stop crying, go out there and pitch. Period."
  20. As I mentioned elsewhere, a big FU to Rob Dibble, who questioned the kid's toughness after he was removed from his last start.
  21. Word out of DC is that Strasburg has ligament damamge and will require TJ surgery. A big STFU to Rob Dibble who questioned SS's toughness after he was lifted from his last start. Tough break for the Nats.
  22. I predict in the future Francoeur will close the season as hot as he began it. Regardless of how many of us feel about Jeff, you gotta be rooting for this. I root against anything that might incline the Mets to bring Frenchy back next year.
  23. Paul Lukas links to this home-movie of Banner Day, 1983: Other quality links, including one of Opening Day, 1982 and of Torre being axed, 1981, are there, too. Apologies if this has already been posted, and for my inability to embed the youtube image directly.
  24. What happened to one guess per post?
  25. 6, top left: Ron Hodges
