    And theoretically the Motley Crue movie that's allegedly in production, although I don't think anyone really thinks that's going to be any sort of blockbuster.

It seems like BVW is leaving a TON of money on the table by taking this job. Why do that?

    The QC from Topps has been quirky the last few years. There was one guy who had two standalone cards in the same set a few years ago.

    Eovaldi is an expensive Vargas. Pass. He's a #4 here at best, and we'd overpay for him.

    I have no particular love for any of these teams, but I voted Brewers/Astros, I guess.

    Edgy MD wrote: Not above suspicion! Maybe, but the suspicion comes when all your teams are out-of-area "winners." If you grew up in Chicago in the 80s and early 90s, how could you not be a Bulls/Bears fan? Now, if you're my age and you're from NYC and you're Bulls/Bears fan, well that's a horse of a different color.

    Hate is a strong word. But here's my order. 1. MFYs 2-3. Braves/Nats (tied) 4. Cardinals 5-6. Marlins/Phillies (tied) 7-8. Red Sox/Cubs (tied) - I'm over the mystique. Over it. 9. Dodgers - Just because. 10. Royals - if I wasn't at Game 5, they'd probably be lumped in with the rest. But it's still too fresh. 11-16. Pirates/Reds/Giants/Rockies/Diamondbacks/Brewers - the murky middle of the National League. 17. Padres - I don't know why I've always had a soft spot for the Pads. My least-unfavorite NL team. 18-26. Whatever other AL teams there are. 27. Twins - Mostly because of the local AAA connection, I guess. 28-29. Blue Jays/Rangers - I have good friends who are Rangers fans and others who are Jays fans, and I'd love to see them win something.

    Because we mostly dislike both teams?

    My friend whose last name is Ng comes from Hong Kong. We've always pronounced it "ING," but a Vietnamese friend whose name starts with Ng tried to teach us that nasal sound that Ben referenced in the quote above. Either way, I know I'm not pronouncing it correctly myself.

    I think Methead meant a Syracuse game that day.

If he could have played in all six games on that homestand, he would have, even if it was just PH appearances, both from a team perspective and his perspective. More David Wright is always better, but I trust that he knows what he could realistically be able to handle too.

I thought it was weird that he reached for the first pitch he saw. Gotta take one, there, DW. That pitch appears to be a middle-down 97 mph fastball. Looks like he historically hits .366 in that zone. .340 on fastballs. Homered on 4 of the 79 fastballs he put in play there. (These numbers seem wrong/low) The popup was a 92 MPH fastball up and away, in the zone. He's homered on 10/95 balls in play in that location, one of his best spots for home runs, only the 2/11 down and in off the plate (2/11) is higher. I'm just saying, take a pitch and give the dust a chance to settle. Of course, if he *had* homered on that first pitch, we'd still be giving him a standing ovation, crying the whole time, three days later.

I do think Alderson was reluctant to pull the trigger on long-term commitments, and not just for short-term payroll concerns. But it's clear enough he worked within the restrictions of the budget he was given. Yes, I agree with this. Although in Sandy's defense, isn't his whole MO making good baseball decisions while saving money? I think that's literally why he was hired. It's the Moneyball thing. It's easier to do the Moneyball thing when no one else is trying to do it... True. Rather than corner the market on some sort of secret thing, they just hopped on the bandwagon and did it poorly. ("Hey! The Sox play Sweet Caroline! Let's try that!")
