    Who usually won?

    I taped Ken Burns' Baseball series long ago. The turned my VHS copies into Dvd. It's not the greatest pixel-wise, but so much of that stuff is old photos and film anyway, I just pretend it's from the old days. About time to crank up Inning 1 again!

    Heh... It reminded me of the Chiefs' fashion show from Slap Shot. https://www.google.com/search?q=slapshot+fashion+show&oq=slap+shoy+fashion+show&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l3.16653j0j7&client=ms-android-samsung-gj-rev1&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#

    Sorry, there is not little to worry about. So maybe if you fall out of the range of the critical danger zones age or health-wise, you are still in contact with many other people in your daily life who aren't. This is where the greatest spread has been where I am in Hong Kong- family or business gatherings. It is far better to over-react at this critical time, than minimize the danger. It's colleagues, parents, grandparents, anyone in your social circle. You did qualify your response, but please, there is no one who has no reason to worry, and to not be protective and proactive.

    Think I'm gonna call him "Laser Larnach." You know, kind of like Razor Ruddock.

    Those Phils' announcers were duly impressed by his play. Man, they were a pleasure to listen to, as I caught some of the game on replay. Much more than the usual 'homers,' they really did gush about Lewis, but they also had interesting things to say about the relative unknowns on the Twinks as well as their own boys. Nice. The Cards guys earlier in the week were very good, too. But whoa, whoever was on the Braves feed last week- they sucked.

    "...what I think was LaVelle..." Omg... Hm. Hard to argue with 30% off, tho...

    I've been following this kid for the last couple years. Agree with Ace, he has the best baseball name since Willie Mays Hayes, and a heck of a good head on his shoulders, too. He sounds so optimistic and hard-working, and I have high hopes for him! Hey, has he been adopt-a-prospected yet?

    This was really interesting. Didn't know all of that data before. Good stuff! Sometimes, though, it's not just an individual pitcher, but how he fits into a rotation that makes him (and the team) more effective over the long haul, and within a 3 or 4 game series- imagine your opponent facing the off-speed, spinny, side-winding Smeltzer one day, followed the next day by a flame-throwing righty like Brusdar Grat.... oh, never mind.

    I would like to add a #12: jersey depth- or maybe breadth. According to the photo atop this article, I'm glad to see Blankenhorn joining the ranks of such icons as Doug Mientiewicz and Paul Thormodsgard as having names that wrap around the entire back of the jersey. I'm almost glad we traded away guys like Hu and Gil now.

    This is very encouraging- and even moreso since Jose seems to agree with the process. Much has been written about his incredible workout regimen, but you've gotta get a clue if you're working out that hard in the offseason, and during the season, and you fade badly towards the end. I'll be looking forward to seeing how the results pan out.

    The Gearrin pickup was worth it just so we could see that clip of him twisting Manny Machado around like a pretzel. I was gonna make a snide remark about Manny's haircut, too, but that was my own haircut circa 1989. I have the same one now, but sort of in reverse...

    I saw this headline, and thought the same thing- I remember that I had liked Palacios in those days, but wow, he's really fallen off a cliff. Not even among the TB top 50. Right now that trade looks like robbery... I'm glad this was posted- maybe I can stop throwing up in my mouth a little whenever I think about Matt Capps.

    Heh... excellent article right here: https://www.theringer.com/mlb/2020/2/13/21136476/jim-crane-houston-astros-sign-stealing-apology

    Uh-oh... ya think teams around the league will be puttin' on the foil?

    No clean hands, and no clean hearts, either. The Asstros have really set themselves up to be Evil Empire, Jr. From the despicable Brandon Taubman espisode, and the way they handled it, to the current day, where they're STILL not handling it, the organization has carved a path to being the next franchise that everybody roots against. Thanks, RBS, for this primer on so many public "apologies" that sports figures, celebs, and others use. There are few things that p*ss me off more than these lukewarm non-apologies that follow this same pattern over and over again. (My all-time favorite: "It's not who I am...") Moreover, the people who use them don't seem to realize that their words don't just dissipate in the air after they're said, they live on forever in the digital ether. They can never escape their mealy-mouthed, limp, stale mutterings, and the reflections on their character. It's also a primer that any parent can use as a fine example of how NOT to stand up and be an honorable man or a woman in this world. Now, I'm going to get busy planning my next vacation to Greely. You know, just in case.

    What specifically they didn't like about the medical report was that their fans were caning them over the deal. They claimed to find something they didn't like in order to save face, and maybe their clown-shoe-wearing jobs.

    Couldn't happen to a nicer club. Except maybe the Yankees.

    He.... sent... his appetizer back.... again?!? Where is he? Lemme at that guy!
  20. David HK
    I wanted Walker.
  21. David HK
    No Pineda, No Hill, No Impact Starter? No.
  22. David HK
    That's a really good debriefing on the JD topic. (Other than Mardy Fish being more famous as a tennis player ;-) ) I hope, as well, that this is a harbinger of breaking that old mold of being "in on" talented players, and "just missing out," ad infinitum-- making the longest damn winters in the league even longer with no glimmer of summer hope from a big FA signing... Thanks, Nick!
  23. David HK
    Heh... probably when he hits another damn wall at full tilt again...
  24. David HK
    I keep tellin' folks, we're gonna be on one or the other end of a heckuva lot of 11-9 scores this year...
  25. David HK
    Another starter? No, they have starters aplenty. A quality, high-level starter? Yes. Desperately.
