Rivera bobblehead night an absolute failure

I'm wondering the same about Phil Hughes and Joba Chamberlain.


Their time in NY is at an end.

My guess is that someone takes a flier on Hughes. Joba, not so much.

I dislike Joba only second to Josh Hamilton in all of MLB. I think most NL teams fans would revolt if management signed him.

Somebody definitely takes a shot at Hughes. He pitched well sway from Yankee Stadium this season, I believe. He could be a fit in places like San Diego (Hammer) or even the Mets.

Joba may not be worth the trouble, but it would be interesting to see if he gets a major league contract.

Oh something else I noticed last night in the Rays game. That kid Wil Meyers makes Bryce Harper look humble. Talk about COCKY.

What did he do?

 

[BigDDude]

He's just completely ineffective. He can't fool anyone anymore. Maybe if he's desperate to catch on, the Padres can try to use him as a situational lefty like they did with Joe Thatcher? Surely he's not interested in facing one or two batters a night though, unless he's a stats guy and wants to try to lower his career ERA and get a K or two?

I think he is more likely to join Tim Flannery's band, but that is just my feeling.

If you gave me a week to get ready, I'd put my fastball up against Zito.

could you last all year?

 

[poprocksncoke]

"his kind".

By his kind you mean the kind that cant handle pressure and being criticized, right?

correct. when you make $20mill/yr, you shouldn't have to put up with pressure and criticism of the media/fans.

Kirk Lazarus: [to Tugg Speedman] What do you mean, "you people?"
Alpa Chino: [stares at Lazarus, and then gets angry] What do *you* mean, "you people?"
Kirk Lazarus: Huh?

I could last maybe 10 pitches at 84 and they'd be flat fastballs.

 

[BigDDude]

lol

I do try to answer stuff here with hopefully popular enough movie quotes to make my responses even better.

That one came real easy, and fit pretty well.

 

[HammerDown]

What did he do?

Nothing in particular. He's just got that A-Rod/Bryce Harper swagger.

Too bad my baseball career peaked at about 13........

I was good ( never fast ), and coulda been somebody......

However, I threw junk from the get go, and, now, I suffer from Johnny Damon arm.

Oh, that.


That God gave me so much talent and I make so much money and I bang so many hot chicks that all the guys who are sitting home jerking off to pron and making 30 grand a year are going to hate my fucking guts thing.

 

[BigDDude]

After seeing that Rosenthal closed out the Cards win today, it made me think.

Will he be their closer in the post season? Do they return to Mujica? Or, do they forgo a closer per se, and give the kid Wacha a shot to do it this post season only, ala Wainwright from a few years ago?


Hmm...

 

[BigDDude]

Oh, that.

Pointing the finger only at myself.
