    I was fake-singing that on the bus this morning. In no time I had a whole row to myself.

    It's getting so I'm in favor of anybody's lineup except the manager's. I say go for it!
  3. David HK
    And anybody who's even marginally heard of the game of baseball would see the sense in that and concur with you. Except Molly.

    OH!! Just saw the mlb- This must be one heck of a rain!!! Off to class now, and won't miss a thing.... Cheerios!
  6. David HK
    You and Riv should apply for the job when should Molly be gently eased out.

    Heh..... life in HK. In the old days, we'd pray for a snow day, here we get rain days. Or rain daze, as it were. The Govt Weather Bureau issues warnings for typhoons, and heavy rain, in which case they close schools and offices. It was so dark this morning on the way to work, I wondered, but nothing-- then, as I arrive at the school gate- RED RAIN WARNING!!! OK, says me, I can chill and follow the base-ball match. Nope. Must go to class and supervise any students who made it in early, because they can't leave until the alert is cancelled. So Berrios' 2-hit, 14 K complete game gem, (which he loses in a hearbreaker 1-0,) I can't watch until the rain goes away. Boo hoo.

    The saddest part about this, is if Berrios throws a gem, and we somehow eke out a 2-1 win, Molly will stick with this woefully misbegotten lineup.
  12. David HK
    Sadly, no. But it's just like all the other nights he's not taken off, and should have. Yet another lineup that's got everybody scratching their heads, and holding the puke down in their mouths. Every day, another one of these. Doesn't he want to give his team a chance?

    I have been echoing what you've said time and again. Those are all valid comments. Yes, too many players are hitting a terrible patch at the same time, and that kind of stuff feeds on itself. The blame for the on-field product belongs to Ryan. He created this roster sausage. But the on-field performance I put squarely on Molly. Another member commented that he looks over his head- and he has, not only this season, but last year, too. You've got to, as a field manager, put your players in a position to succeed, and his mind-boggling lineups and head-scratching game decisions on an every day basis are most certainly not helping the overall situation. I'm not going to go on a litany of them, there's just not enough bandwidth. He, most of all, has got to get the ship righted- yet another day, another bewildering lineup, another wtf game call, it's so counter-productive. And--- I have no idea who in that clubhouse is offering anything in the way of leadership, but with such cluster of young'uns, somebody's got to take the damn reins in there. I was not a big fan of Torii's field performance last year, and I have no idea what he specifically exerted in the clubhouse, but it does seem, without him, this rowboat has no coxswain. How about somebody step up, huh? (Sidebar: John Hicks, 8 games at Erie AAA: .929 OPS)
  14. David HK
    I just can't figure it. We've got our AAA Mendoza line guy leading off, and Molly's continuing insistence on the Plouffe-sized hole between Sano and Park. Sheesh, the guy just got off rehab, and didn't exactly take to low-A pitching during that- maybe ease him back in til he regains his stroke, maybe in the 6 or 7 spot? But- that would make sense, and Molly, well.......

    Thank you, oh great spaghetti monster, or whoever created TDaily-- truth be told, I often don't even bother with gameday or the broadcast, it's far more entertaining, and truthfully informative, than the official story.

    And they had Tanner, who could take care of business when things got outta hand.

    Ah, so lovely, remedial grammar, to middle schoolers doing penance, from 830-1030 on 8 weeks of Saturday mornings, an hour's journey from my house, near the Chinese border,where the English level is, well, less than optimal. None of us wanna be there, and it's already in the 90s by 8AM-- yet somehow more pleasurable than watching the Twinkies these days.

    Quoth Crash Davis, "Hit the mascot."
  19. David HK
    Oh.
  20. David HK
    Hidey-ho everybody! Just got out of that miserable little class! Is the comeback still on? Did I miss anything good? (...chases tail in a circle, pees on the floor a little like puppies are wont to do...)
  21. David HK
    Ahhh, checking in from Saturday AM remedial grammar class... Think I'll get back to the reading comprehension, since I can't fathom Twins baseball comprehension.
  22. David HK
    Idle bear in the sunshine looks at that Sox lineup and wonders why we can't just beat these guys brains in, tonight and every night?
  23. David HK
    That's good advice, Van. I think I will-- ahhhh, the warm sunshine on my fur, a salmon in my belly, deadly claws resting on my powerful haunches, idly watching the tasty humans fumble about at their base-ball. And at the first sign of weakness, I will charge down off this sunny spot, and devour them, carnivore that I am...
  24. David HK
    Well, Molly, in his wisdom, didn't want to let the kid keep getting lit up like that, and potentially lose ground in the midst of a hot pennant race like we're in. Oh, wait a minute....
  25. David HK
    Think I'd rather watch the bag of sand. Or eat one.
