    Looking forward to the posthumous accolades. BRB, have to go check the oven...

    Big Pelf having success with the splitter, another good omen.
  3. ashbury
    In a sense true of every player ever born, of course.
  4. ashbury
    Oman, that's heavy.

    Where it comes to Mike Pelfrey, is striking out the side in the first a good omen or bad? 0-0 after 1. CBU.

    Chicken, natch. / as opposed to chicken scratch
  7. ashbury
    Nah. Big Pelf's got this.
  8. ashbury
    Good save.

    23. Molitor's starting lineup fails to make use of this golden opportunity.
  10. ashbury
    Since it's the minors, probably should be on one of those single-serving boxes.
  11. ashbury
    Good game summary.
  12. ashbury
    Tommy Tresh. Jason Bay. Ian Desmond. Steve Lombardozzi Jr.
  13. ashbury
    Just like legions of young players before him...
  14. ashbury
    OTOH that may turn out to be his entire career allotment.

    I dunno, Brian. Stop having them, and it could prove fatal. Maybe moderation is the key. One birthday every 5 or 6 years?
  16. ashbury
    Hip hip.

    This kind of aggregate stat line always drives me nuts. Obscured by this is the fact that EE was always young for his league. E.g. he was a regular in AAA at age 22. Back when the discussion of interest was Florimon versus Escobar, an age by age comparison of their minor league stats built a strong circumstantial case that Pedro was doomed to be inadequate at the plate, while Eduardo was on a track (if he kept improving with age and experience) to hit sufficiently to hold a job. Also obscuring the issue was that Chicago somehow totally screwed him up for one season, by bringing him up to the majors prematurely. Now, I remained concerned even recently that his numbers might not hold up if he played every day - he's not a real big guy. Lately I'm finally convinced. The rest of the article here is more about the fundamentals, and is of typically high quality, but this one line early-on bothered me.

    The issue as always is money. Relievers feel they get paid better (arbitration, which radiates to other non-FA contracts) when they rack up gaudy Save numbers. And players always are keeping an eye toward the next contract. Yes, even Saint Perk.

    Think Buxton might make a serviceable wide receiver? In a few years Sano might be our right tackle, but let's not think about that now.

    Outfield defense! / snark

    I still can't hear the Mexican Hat Dance at games without mentally adding, "NORM SUCKS", where you're supposed to clap.
  22. ashbury
    Good save. I was about to parody you mercilessly.
  23. ashbury
    The Danes seem to be fools over that kind of thing.
  24. ashbury
    Well to tell you the truth in all this excitement I kinda lost track myself. So you've gotta ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?
  25. ashbury
    Careful....
