    I could never understand why all these idiots, er...Yankee fans, love the Babe when THEY WEREN'T ALIVE WHEN HE PLAYED!!! I'm glad I got that off my chest.

If Soler continues to pitch well why send him down? Send the bullpen-experienced Duque to the 'pen and keep Soler starting. When Bannister comes back ship Bell back down. Well, that's exactly what I said. But I am doubting Willie and Omar's wisdom when a "winner" who can "handle New York" joins the team.

There's no way in the world that Willie has the brains to do this one....but once everyone's healthy I'd rather see El Duque in the pen until either Bannister or Soler proves they don't have the ability to start. I really like this idea, but it got stuck on the page before this one.

    I agree with all of that, my optimism is just riddled with fears and paranoia.

    ]If he were hitting .277 (career avg.), his OBP would be around .340. If he were hitting .300, his OBP would be about .360. If .333, it would be around .390. Can I quote this in the Who Gives a Crap thread? Just busting balls....but seriously, until his batting average reaches those numbers, what is the point of estimating the associated OBP? I'm sure everyone here has done the addition in their head that you do here. But it is just hopes and dreams until we see it happen. Even though we all want to assume his BA will revert to career norms but his OBP will not (kind of sucks to think of it that way, doesn't it?), it's not realistic until we see it.

    BTW, the baseballs no longer have to pee, because Cornelius has been hitting the piss out of them.

    Reyes 3.5 Gonzalez 2 Nady 1.75 Bell 1.5 Floyd 1.25 (Floyd loses some for getting picked off second like an idiot.)

    Great job by Heath Bell today, despite allowing the inherited runner to score.

    El Duque to pitch Sunday.

Gwreck wrote: Got a good effort from our starter today too. Irrelevant to my point. Gwreck wrote: Sure, 2 of 3 is fine but a sweep can't be undervalued, especially going into a series which we should also sweep. Not undervaluing it, and my point stands...it's not a huge game. Let Kaz get his swings there...show you trust him (even if you don't). When he's hitting .200 in July, we can pinch hit for him in the late innings of a close game against the Phillies. Actually if he's hitting .200 in July we should give someone else a look. But not Andy-Handy.

    Let Kaz hit. This game is not THAT important. Let him swing. Francessa thinks Kaz hasn't had an extra base hit in a month. 'Course, he hit a double Tuesday.

    I'd remove Gonzalez from that list of potential 5th game starters. He belongs on the emergency last-minute resort list.

    Bell lives in Port St. Lucie and skateboarded to spring training every day?

    Is Myers really the Phillies' ace?

    Did anyone else see, and hear, Floyd cursing at the ump while looking the ump in the eye after the first pitch he took yesterday?
  22. Elster88
    6 IP, I think.

    After Floyd's son comes back I'd MUCH rather see him and Soler get some more starts at the ML level then see El Duque start.

What do you think, CPFers?

    Mike dropped a new one on me. Vittorino is apparently "The Flying Hawaiian". Not a bad nickname.
  25. Elster88
    .311 OBP coming into today will go up with the 3-5 performance. Still not good.
