    Seems like a line of script that might have been a tad difficult to accomplish in one take.

    The .120 BA doesn't contain a lot of room for multi-start weeks, for that matter. Or multi-week stays in the majors. At least, for most players.

    Yes!! / A .120 BA coming in does not contain a lot of room for many multi-hit games.

    The tune is called Yakety Sox.

    Let Hughes try for the complete game? If Gameday's correct, he's at 95 pitches

    Does that make them ghosts now?

    Did the cartoonists at that studio ever explain who laid the giant egg that Baby Huey must have hatched from?

    Why? Oh. Ming.

    It's a common misconception. He contracted a case of ptomaine poisoning at a chain restaurant and haunted the place ever since. http://www.classactionsnews.com/sites/default/files/styles/article_detail/public/field/image/friendlyphoto1.jpg

    If we really want inter-league play, let's play NFL rules when we're in their home park, and MLB rules when they are in ours.

    Phew. Unless the bottom falls out of the season, and unless Big Pelf likewise is on the skids for several starts, you're faced with trading one of the most successful starting pitchers on a team that is in the vicinity of contention for the first time in years. A tough sell to the fan base. Even if analytically it may be the smart move. That has always been the weak spot in the plan to trade from strength in starting pitching. In practice you'll only feel able to trade your 5th or 6th best starter, and you'll get little to nothing in return, especially if there is any salary involved (such as Nolasco). Again, analytically it may be right to trade Nolasco and his salary, and it may fly with your fan base, but you're not going to restock your minor league system by doing it. All that said... I want Meyer up and in the major league bullpen. I wanted him there in 2014, as an introduction to the majors with an eye still toward starting by mid-season or by 2015. If, as discussed above, a middling prospect like Tonkin has to suffer another demotion, so be it.

    You may have put your finger on why the Saints draw so few Canadians through the turnstiles. They need to make their advertising less parochial.

    I don't know and I'd have to ask the coach making such decisions what his rationale was. But with fewer games per week and fewer weeks per season, it's possible that a pitcher who isn't a good starting candidate for the pros might get the nod over a stronger long-term prospect. Probably the coach has indeed said something and I missed the mention of it.

    A difference in how the schedule places demands on the workload?

    Exactly what I told Letterman, the second time I was on his show - most humblebrags are done inexpertly and merely tick off the listener.

    Getting #73 correct requires good insight and sources. Kudos.

    The next Craig Nettles will be the first. /spoiler: it's "Graig"
