  1. And it's a much better option than Kreidler or Baddoo (whenever he gets healthy). If they thought Jones was the guy, it would have been him.
  2. To me Tork has to make the team. They asked him to re-focus himself and he's done it this Spring. It might not translate, but what else can you ask of him? Can he hit 30 HR in a year? Yes, because he already has. Maybe staying away in the offseason cleared his head. To give up on him now would be ridiculous. Maybe putting Keith and Malloy at first base lit a fire under Tork's arse. The fact that they signed Margot to a one-year contract makes me believe that Meadows is not coming back for quite some time and that Perez will be the one on the Tony Packos Express once Vierling returns. The fact that Margot can play all 3 OF positions will be a big advantage for Dr. Frankenstein Hinch.
  3. Since Jones isn't on the roster, I'd have to give the edge to Perez. I know his Spring was awful, but we have all talked about how sometimes Spring doesn't mean anything. I would also give Perez a nod over Malloy because Perez can play Center. Who gets lopped off the 40-man? Kreidler?
  4. You know the joke "O-for-September". It was literally true for Oyler. He also went O-for-August too. In fact, his last hit that season was July 13th. O for 36 after that. He was the 3rd player the Seattle Pilots drafted in the Expansion Draft in 1969. Wonder why they failed, LOL. Nothing against him personally. He did *improve* to .165 for the Pilots.
  5. Here's a mind-blowing fact. Bruce Rondon is only 34. Seemed like he played for us 20 years ago. How about the Tigers are part of the story of the glorious comeback of one time Rookie Of The Year Kyle Lewis !
  6. You can lengthen a career doing that. Mickey Stanley was ahead of his time.
  7. Oh those are SOOOOO MUCH FUN ! The doctor could have asked me We can do more of these nerve tests or we can stab you in the liver. My next question would be "How long would the knife be?"
  8. Rotation Flaherty-Jobe-Mize-Olson-Skubal Bullpen Brebbia-Brieske-Foley-Hurter-Holton-Kahnle-Maeda-Vest Catchers Dingler-Rogers Infielders Baez-Ibanez-Keith-McKinstry-Sweeney-Torkelson-Torres Outfielders Carpenter-Greene-Malloy-Perez I guess that means they'll use Greene in CF (if they expect Vierling back soon) If they don't expect Vierling back soon, I would guess they'd find someone else's castoff or make a trade. You know what this means? It means Bad News for The Dodgers !
  9. Or maybe fishing with his brother, out of baseball by 27
  10. I was fearing Kreidler. Then they optioned him. I don't think Jones will do much, but I'd rather take a shot at the unkown than keep pretending Kreidler's gonna click becuase he had two good months - 4 years ago. Hopefully Vierling is back soon. I am fearing bad news - like really bad news on Meadows.
  11. Is this the position roster? C - Rogers, Dingler INF - Baez, Ibanez, Keith, McKinstry, Sweeney, Torres, Torkelson OF - Carpenter, Greene, Jones, Perez,
  12. A - They want him to prove it in games that count (in the minors) B - They want to wait until it gets a little warmer.
  13. Driving with a load not properly tied down Love that movie. And it is a fair question. Who invented liquid soap and why? What's the point?
  14. Who invented liquid soap, and why?
  15. So, I have been extremely busy with work - Is Keith going back to 2nd base? - Javy will play more 3rd than Shortstop? - So where does Ibanez play vs. Lefties? - How bad is Keith at first? - Is Keith bound for DH duties, if Tork is back? - Who is playing Center? - Will there be a trade for another CF? If there is a significant trade does that mean the team does not expect Meadows to play for a long time? - What's up with Meadows? - How is Bonderman's change up looking?
  16. What a glorious graph
  17. Have you noticed the perp in interviews? Not a word about how the victim is doing. Only about how this effects HER. Not a stich of remorse. She needs to spend a few nights in jail, not a long time, but a few nights. She needs to be banned for life from track events. Sorry, I know it was a momentary lapse in judgement, but she cracked the girl's skull and it was 100% intentional. Should it ruin her whole high school and college track career? Yes, it should. This was brutal. Watch, schools will switch to plastic lightweight batons now - all because of this spoiled brat. And, I am sure that in the history of track someone, somewhere has used a baton to strike an opponent or jab them in the ribs, but it wasn't caught on camera. Side note - I was talking about this yesterday at work. How does anyone get away with anything anymore? There are cameras everywhere. In our neighborhood a porch pirate got caught because the cops went to every house with a doorbell or dash cam and tracked the guy right to his own house where they found dozens of amazon boxes. Ripping off his own neighbors. What a great guy. Most detective work now is probably looking at doorbell cams, security cams, traffic cams. And these cameras get better all the time. Going to be easier to spot details like tattoos, decals on cars and license plates. Part of that is scary, but it probably means fewer people get away with stuff. Privacy? Oh, that's dead and buried.
  18. I can't believe you fall for this garbage. Especially in the A.I. era. You Rounders will eat anything they feed you. Tell me how the water does not fall off ! And do you mean to tell me you have people in South America and New Zealand walking upside down? How does that work. You damned Rounders.
  19. Great, now if they could finally ****ing finish ****ing up Oakwood, that would be grand. I mean, how long does it take? Funny thing about it is I almost NEVER see anyone out there working on the road. Plus the traffic lights on Oakwood are stupidly long. THERE IS ALMOST NO FOOT TRAFFIC CROSSING OAKWOOD BOULEVARD ! Why do the red lights need to be 4 minutes long?
  20. Sometimes something really good comes from a place you would not expect. A place not known for culinary fare beyond a frozen beverage. But the K-Mart Sub Sandwich was a masterpiece. Just the right amount of juice, just the right amount of oregano. I miss the K-Mart Sub Sandwich, and I have yet to find it's equal.
  21. Man, just can't catch Indiana or Milwaukee. Those other teams just won't lose two in a row. I want Indiana in the playoffs. THAT would be intense.
  22. I am sick of Al Avila disrobing every chance he gets. He's not as sexy as he thinks he is. Think: Billy Squire's Rock Me Tonite video.
  23. 1. Roster Chaos 2. ?????? 3. Profit. The Roster Gnomes.
  24. I sure like the idea of Pena & Dirks in the booth with Jason a lot better than other options. Petry's okay, but a little dry. Craig Monroe was just flat-out annoying with his cheerleading schtick.
