For AL supremacy: Cleveland at Texas for four 8/25-8/28

Funny, I got a buddy who has a goat, and if you walk him to the edge of a cliff he does the same shit

Plus, they've got the horns, so you can grab on for leverage and really get after it.

It sounds like I wish we would have made the trade for Lucroy and looked elsewhere for a reliever instead of giving up too much for Jeffress.

As always, hindsight is 20/20 for you.

Try again. The lame hindsight accusation is completely inappropriate here. That must be your goto accusation when you can figure out anything else to say.

It isn't like I waited for something bad to happen until I said I wished we had left Jeffress out of the deal. You igored that conveniently.

I don't understand you judging the trade of Jeffres so early. He hasn't pitched enough for it to be an overpay. What trade did you want to make?

Maybe he wanted thornburg. I thought they gave us a choice on which reliever to take. I just hope we don't have to give them a good pitching prospect like Mendez as the ptbnl.

Probably drinking when he drafted him too.

We should put up a poll thread in the Cowboys forum asking how many games Romo will play this year.

Excellent and accurate point.

But it would concern me about this guy being drunk at approximately day-break, regardless of past history.

Since you entered the thread we have been regaled with stories of hill billy male r*pe and fondling farm animals. Lol you need to be exiled to the Nightcrawler thread.

Glad to see Banister is having Lucroy catch Perez. I was wondering if he would or not. After the success last night he stayed with the same lineup which is also good to see.

Holland on Lucroy:
Overall the guy is an outstanding catcher. He calls a great game. He sets up low which makes it even better for you to focus on low pitches. He's just a really good guy back there ... He keeps you focused, keeps you loose, keeps you where you need to be. The guy has been an outstanding pickup for us and you have to really give J.D. (Jon Daniels) a lot of credit for bringing those guys in that he did. With Lucroy, that kid is an animal.

Certainly makes sense. Let's see how Lucroy handles Perez.

They did well together last time. He had Perez throw a ton of change ups. So it will be interesting to see how it turns out a 2nd time.

I said a few days ago I'd have Lucroy catch every outing from Holland, Perez and Darvish at the very least.

I think we will see another good game from Martin. Sure would be nice to make this a guaranteed split.

I am very much opposed to the mindset of "counting chickens before they hatch," but whatever can be done to keep Lucroy as fresh as possible is something I'm OK with. Because at a certain point of the season, he'll need to be out there every game, for many games, if you catch my meaning.

I agree. Chirinos can catch guys like Colby and even Hamels. I'd leave Holland, Perez, and Darvish to Lucroy.

I do get your meaning, and agree/understand completely.

That's why I named only the 3, Darvish/Holland/Perez, which I feel he really needs to work with in order to accomplish what we need in both the short and long term.
