Edwin again! I'm not keeping count, and I haven't faced him in the last two weeks, but it seems he hits two bombs a night!

 

[Chef99]

Better shot at contributing this year than Jose right?

This is true.

 

[Microwahevo]

Matt Harvey?

Gotta say I got a little giddy when I heard he wants to pitch between 5-8 games this year.

 

[TREFF]

Ehh.. only way I could move Jose off the roster was to replace him with another DL guy, and if I need that DL slot between now and August.. he'll get thrown back to the sharks. Absolute no risk, possible big payoff down the stretch.

I was pretty pumped about picking up Guerrero today....the move to SS... his insane power numbers and the Dodgers struggles.

Just copy and paste the YouTube link, then, erase everything from the "=" and before. Then, select the rest, hit the little YouTube box and it'll work. Make sense?

Just just a quick football note. .
The suicide draft order has been set and listed over on the other board. Also to anyone interested, we're hoping to start a second suicide league, also listed on the football board under "B league suicide ?"

And now back to your local televised baseball game.

5-6 weeks recovery from plastic surgery killed my enthusiasm.

I can just hear some of the old timers like Teddy Ballgame: "Wtf, it's just an ear! He ain't usin' it to hit!"

I'm rereading Bouton's "Ball Four" after many years, and he mentions one manager (can't remember who it is at the moment) whose motto about injuries was: "If a bone ain't showin', you're in the lineup!". Or something to that effect. :rollseyes:

losing continues to roll on..... winning is an old roll on and now it is time to roll one or out...... Ram treat me like charity you'll feel better and so will the league....

*Been busy mostly just being on vaca's and had one friend visit from florida so had to party like a rock star!

What the hell is wrong with Billy Butler? How does one just forget to hit after that long a period? And, has Allen Craig been taking hitting advice from him? Same state and all.....

I don't read much anymore, but I did for a time. And, I NEVER re-read books. Except for Ball Four. I think I have read it 4 times. Maybe time for a 5th?

Matt Harvey?

Sad thing is TREFF beat me to him by like 5 minutes.....................he would be one hell of an addition to most of us in August....................

Great book.............I liked "The Wrong Stuff" more though.

Sandy Alderson is not that much of an idiot to risk Harvey's career and the future of the Mets to pitch him this year in hopes that we capture 4th place.


Or is he...??? :rollseyes:

I picked up "Ball Four: The Final Pitch" at Half Price Books for a few bucks. It includes updates on what has happened since that season with the Seattle Pilots. Once you get acclimated to some of the out-of-date references (groovy!), it is well worth reading again.

I can't see Harvey starting, but I can see the Mets giving him a few innings out of the bullpen to appease him if he's capable.

And for some reason, I keep missing it when you drop Granderson. I swear your transactions are invisible.
