    We should have dumped Plouffe for anything. Waiting for a sweetheart deal is as big a mistake as anything.

    Most of the "bad clubhouse guy" nonsense stems from overly senstive "jackwagons" who get pissed that a dude is excited to hit a homerun. On the list of reasons not to pursue Jose, his personality doesn't crack my top 10.

    I get the feeling people that want this think "he hits so well at Target Field! This will be great!" And fail to remember who he was hitting against. It ain't the ballpark that he likes folks.....
  4. TheLeviathan
    Other teams love to stuff their stat lines against them.
  5. TheLeviathan
    I was intrigued, I always like to give a show 3-4 episodes before i decide anything.
  6. TheLeviathan
    This thread took a weird turn.
  7. TheLeviathan
    I don't think so, I think it is based during the time when the East India Company was basically ruling an entire region of the world as a company.
  8. TheLeviathan
    Looking forward to Taboo.

    Well, and you can actually make the case that midseason deals for pitching hold some promise to recoup value. It's still risky, but less so than the case of Dozier. Still, I'd hope he's traded at some point in the calendar year.

    Storen 1 year and 3M makes me sad. We should've doubled that.
  11. TheLeviathan
    So everything then?

    I'm sure there are plenty of smart kids playing football, but that doesn't change my belief that most of them aren't all that smart and are generally pretty impressionable. (I could probably cite GPAs and that stuff, but lets face it, a lot of those kids are at the U for athletics, not academics) I'm amazed how effective drivel like his is on people. I don't doubt his ability to make this schtick work though, we have a long, sad history of buying into this kind of nonsense in droves.
  13. TheLeviathan
    I'm sure the kids would eat it up. I'm also sure anything more than 4 years of it would lead to a homicide. I get that football players are largely not that bright, you'd almost have to be sort of dumb to put up with this schtick.
  14. TheLeviathan
    Words can't do it justice. If you had to take a shot every time he said something bat s*%& crazy you'd be blind drunk 3 minutes in to a 40 minute presser.
  15. TheLeviathan
    Tim Brewster seems like a humble, soft spoken man of the finest articulation and grace compared to that schlockfest I just listened to. He might be a great coach, but I don't want to hear him talk. Ever again. Ever.
  16. TheLeviathan
    I don't think I could spend more than 10 minutes with this guy talking without feeling the need to assault him. Good lord. Brewster has nothing on this guy.
  17. TheLeviathan
    Fleck doesn't run a Big Ten style, this is going to be interesting for sure.
  18. TheLeviathan
    I'm telling you hoping for a hot streak AND a totally out of character mid-season haul is probably just being silly. Again, there is over a decade of evidence that hoping for a big haul from a hitter is folly. Not to mention the gamble that Dozier will choose to not suck to start the year. Hoping for highly rated prospects to pan out is not in the same league. That's not a double standard, that's just recognizing probabilities.
  19. TheLeviathan
    Hope for luck is better than near certain doom.....so, sure, if that's how you want to put it.
  20. TheLeviathan
    Mussina and Radke always struck me as similar in the sense that they were underrated just by virtue of where they played. People didn't appreciate how good they were because they played in low limelight. Mussina was much better than Radke, but I got a similar vibe. I'd vote Mussina in personally. The guy was tough as hell.
  21. TheLeviathan
    Operating based on probabilities has the highest probability of success. "Well, you never know! I might get lucky" is about the worst possible rationale I can think of.
  22. TheLeviathan
    I find it hilarious that Roger Clemens' name has been spelled incorrectly in what seems like 8 different ways in a matter of 1 page. I'm not a stickler, I just think that's funny.
  23. TheLeviathan
    I'm not sure he did all that much to deserve this, it really is on the players and their poor behavior. I think Claeys taking the side of the players over administration was absolutely a factor though.
  24. TheLeviathan
    I won't make an argument for Rice, I don't feel he should be in. Just that no other player on that list has a split that dramatic.
  25. TheLeviathan
    I was always a fan of Larry Walker, but his home road splits are stark - more than double that of Bagwell or Guerrero. I think that does (and probably should) factor against him.
