  1. Heh... good fun, Seth, this was a treat. Personally, I gotta go with Dan Osterbrock's comment! Nyuk, nyuk!

  3. Well, I don't mean to harp, but truly, given the field managerial performance the last couple of years, on a 100+ loss team- can you really expect things to be that much better? The way Molly gacked up handling of the young players, those lineups that seemed pulled out of a crazy hat, the bizarre in-game decisions-- I think they should have cleaned out the dugout first.
  4. This stuff being considered, and the way they're talking, it does seem like they still don't want to give the young'uns a shot again this year. That's why the single most disappointing thing this offseason is that they didn't clear the dugout first. Molly was horrible handling the kids the past couple years, (in addition to the rest of the team), and we're still thinking he's they guy for a young roster? Phooey.

  6. That is a little funky delivery. I like even more how he gets it, and throws it, without a bunch of messing around.
  7. Zoiks. I'm kinda thinking this Eaton trade is going to be the Nats' version of the Wilson Ramos trade. Some kind of freaky karma there...

  9. On this issue, I'm always reminded of what the late, great Eddie Matthews said-- "I could hit a bullet if it's straight."

  11. You know, back when they started messing around making May a reliever, I was wondering why they didn't do that with Gibby instead-- Still think it's a viable option for him. Hey, how about we flip-flop those two? How about it Falvey & co?
  12. Yeh. I guess the old 'rub some dirt on it' procedure may be passe by now.
  13. I agree that Maddon's bullpen moves in games 6 and 7 were illogical. And my tricorder went haywire on that bunt attempt.
  14. At last! Finally found a couple of pix from that magical night-- I know there are more around somewhere, but hey, that was life in the pre-digital age, eh?

  16. He is my GUY! I was really surprised to see English in the AFL, rather than Granite. I'm hoping for big things in Rochester for him, and maybe even a taste of the show. Speed guys, though, don't exactly have a long shelf life before it starts to diminish. I hope he plays is way into a role with the big club soon!
  17. Aye aye. Thing #1 has got to be stop making the incredibly stupid decisions they've undertaken the past couple of years- like Trevor May and Alex Meyer in the bullpen, and Mr. Sano to the OF- moves that even the most casual fan on the sidewalk would never consider. Like holding on to Mr. Plouffe way, way, way past his sell-by date. Like letting a solid catcher like John Hicks just fall through the AAA cracks, going on to post a +.900 OPS, through sheer not-paying-attention. Need I go on? I can, and that's the saddest part. Any question about pitchers who don't work out here, and go on to blossom elsewhere, as soon as they're out of the Twinkie tutelage? The utterly ridiculous grab-bag lineups that Molly threw out there day after day? The way he jerked around nearly every kid who came up to the bigs? OK, I'll stop now, but only because I'm tired, not because I ran out of stupid. So, how about it, new guy? Can you stop that fools' parade?
  18. I watched that game 5 with pals at Stub & Herbs- what a game! And that night at the Dome, when the team returned to a full house- wow, one of my favorite sports memories of all time. It was a special time, and a special team. I gotta find those old photos from that rally sometime- if I do, I'll post 'em here. If anybody else has some, please do the same!
  19. I am so not on board with keeping Molly another year. They need a whole new voice, in every direction in the ML dugout.
  20. Heh--- Rather glad today I'm in the middle of a workday, and didn't have to suffer through 11 innings for that, like a real fan would. Well, nice to drop in and snipe and snark for a bit. I'm gonna miss y'all during the long hot-stove season. Kind of sucks when you have to fire up that stove by mid-June...
  21. Argh- just check in for that leadoff walk and brain-fart steal. Well.....
