    You have forgotten some of my rally avatars in game threads.

    ‘First a new theory is attacked as absurd; then it is admitted to be true, but obvious and insignificant; finally it is seen to be so important that its adversaries claim they themselves discovered it.’ — William James

    Unlike most players, Perkins's post-playing future might *be* in the front office. How in the world was a player who speaks like I do - "just by default" - "it's a small sample" - "at whatever point that stabilizes" - not flushed from this team's farm system early on, on the grounds of "not a good game face" or "bad make-up". It's one thing to acknowledge that good results might regress, but I'd love to see the look on a coach's face the time a player tries to laugh off a bad result with a guess that he'll regress to better results next time.

    Saunders has had a weird season so far with some good games some terrible, and I'm not ready to give up on him being an asset, but his overall numbers aren't good at all in this table - I'm sure other pitchers can say the same about their one good start. Gunnarthor, an additional bit of info that would be useful in your table, some work for you one time but not needing updates, is the contact (years, dollars) each pitcher eventually signed for. I was in favor of giving Lannan a try, not because the odds of him turning out well were as high as for the others but because the cost of signing him would be nearly trivial. (I.e. no point in hoping for a deal that doesn't exist in Ryan's universe.)

    And don't let Gardy catch you not hustling to make your posts.

    Please adjust your snark-o-meter.

    If there'd been a kid like Clete at AAA, you might have at least had to think twice about a swap.

    "Wall to wall counseling" might be the phrase you are looking for. Ask Chief.

    Anytime a link from anyone promises something too good to be true, this video is a possibility. (At least, back in 2007.) I think this is the first time I rickrolled here, and I hope I can keep my promise it'll be the last. But no promises, about my promises.

    If I were still doing game avatars I might go seek her out.

    I was too terse in an attempt at humor combined with a serious point. I believe in most cases the 40-man is what the GM plans to operate with for the season. The non-40-man guys are there to be added in case of a 60-day injury. Clete's off to a good start, but I will be really surprised if he is called up and someone is dropped from the 40-man, unless in combination with a trade that frees up a spot (Hammer for non-roster prospect, say).

    No question. I mean, sheesh.

    Hah, the Yahoo box score currently has Hernandez as the winning pitcher.
  14. ashbury
    Just how I roll, chez Ashbury.

    I bet you do, I bet you do, wink wink, nudge nudge.

    Celebration avatar is up. Did I mention that I found some other photos of her, topless? Link

    You know, a walk-off loss after a lead of that magnitude would still be better than the Twins having to play two more innings after choking.
  18. ashbury
    Goodnight Ashbury.
  19. ashbury
    Perk!
  20. ashbury
    Talkin' season, not game, right? Or are you predicting extra innings?
  21. ashbury
    Baseball should be fun.
  22. ashbury
    So, now do we shift Doumit from DH to left for defensive purposes?
  23. ashbury
    Carrollsie got off the schneid. Now it's Hammer's turn.

    Don't be silly. Wait another baserunner at least.
