  1. He gets paid to write this tripe?
  2. I went to bed early last night, but woke up early to find that dreams do come true.
  3. Jeff Wilpon, you're a moron. Josh Byrnes will fill your club full of strikeout machines at the plate.
  4. Jeff, you bum, you better not reach a decision before you talk to Jon Daniels or I swear to God...
  5. This is delicious, but it ain't over till it's over. Let's go Texas, wrap this thing up and send the back pages into spasms.
  6. Did anybody else know it was pronounced QUAH-dee?
  7. G-Fafif wrote: Hack Wilson feeling unloved, too, and suddenly craving 191 drinks from the great beyond. Remember when they "discovered" his 191st RBI? I remember thinking, what other stats aren't as complete as we think they are?
  8. My heart's going with Daniels, my head says Alderson.
  9. At least he doesn't pee on his hands.
  10. I don't see how he gets hired by Florida considering that Loria prefers emasculated managers. Could Art Howe make a comeback?
  11. And with that, every team in baseball has won at least one playoff series (Les Expos took advantage of the halved 1981 season to beat the Phillies before losing to the eventual champion Dodgers). The Rays clearly spent too much time planting virtual crops.
  12. Hahn was up today. The New York Mets have interviewed Chicago White Sox assistant general manager Rick Hahn in their search to hire a GM. Hahn spent several hours Tuesday at Citi Field talking to chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon, assistant general manager John Ricco and other team executives. Former Arizona general manager Josh Byrnes will meet with the Mets on Wednesday and longtime baseball executive Sandy Alderson will speak with the team later this week. The Mets say they also got permission from the Los Angeles Dodgers to talk to scouting director Logan White in the search to replace Omar Minaya. The Mets interviewed former Kansas City GM Allard Baird on Monday.
  13. The Rays are a bunch of iPad farm game dorks: http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylt=AvenNaiCiMuYKEIenzdUUkk5nYcB?slug=jp-rayswefarm101110
  14. I just went over the Royals' drafts from Baird's tenure. Baird took over in June of 2000, after the draft. Going over the drafts from 2001-2005, here are all the players the Royals drafted that have gone on to do anything of note in the majors: 2001 Draft Taylor Tankersley 2002 Draft Zack Greinke 2003 Draft Mike Aviles 2004 Draft Billy Butler J.P. Howell 2005 Draft Alex Gordon That's it. That's all he has to show for five years' worth of drafts. Not a very encouraging record.
  15. Everyone except Zvon will probably pick the Giants.
  16. I really don't see the point in interviewing a miserable failure like Allard Baird when there are so many other choices out there.
  17. Catcher Dioner Navarro whines about not getting put on the playoff roster, ditches the team. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/blog/big_league_stew/post/Dioner-Navarro-ditches-Rays-after-being-dumped-f?urn=mlb-275353

  21. Rebuilt the farm system, completely underrated by the media on that front. Horrendously awful on the free agent front (and Bernazard didn't help) but did well on trades.
  22. He was a goddamn robot!!! Zero originality of thought. Complete inability to change tactics.
  23. Giants. I'm rooting for a Giants-Rangers World Series.
  24. Sorry Z, I don't feel like living through my personal hell for a second straight year.
