  1. Go Giants! (I guess)
  2. Trading away Hardy for nothing was the move I found most inexplicable in all of this.
  3. Could you clarify this for me, please ... are you saying you think Simmons deliberately played poorly in the hopes of getting traded to a contending team?
  4. Stick to the topic.
  5. So, who’s left to cheer on now? The Giants, maybe? I’m pretty much done now.

  6. You missed my joke ... I posted my comment this morning, knowing the Rays lost ... so I'd laugh if he brought the statue with him
  7. I would, too ...
  8. Not to get sidetracked ... but there is a huge difference between a rookie batting barely .200 and a veteran batting .200. Rookies are adjusting to the best pitching they have seen so far in their careers. The hope with rookies is they take this and learn to adjust - whether they will or won't is yet to be seen; but a veteran batting at that level? That's as good as they get.
  9. I find it disappointing that Maggi didn't get any actual playing time. There are many more who never even get called up. Where are the crocodile tears for them? Some are being so extremely over-emotional and just plain silly about this. It's disappointing. That's it. 

  10. Not surprised about any of these
  11. Gee ... look which teams get the 'prime time' slots? (not surprising) I'm cheering for the White Sox over the Astros and the Brewers over the Braves and the Rays over the Red Sox. And I guess the Giants over the Rays. This won't be, but I thought it would be fun for the series to be the Brewers vs the White Sox in the WS. Cubs' fans would go nuts with that. Heh. Although, Most Cub fans aren't true baseball fans anyway, so probably don't follow it at all.
  12. The game last night was such a good game. I didn't really expect to watch it ... just tune in to catch up ... but man, it was a good game! It will be interesting to see the Dodgers and the Giants battle it out. The Giants have done pretty well against the Dodgers this year. Btw ... anyone else who watched last night ... did Scherzer seem pissed to be taken out of the game after only 4.1 innings?
  13. I think it's a 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' situation. But man, I'm on the side of 'Get. Him. Signed!'
  14. Graterol just drilled a batter ... ?
  15. Wainwright is dealing ... Scherzer was taken out after 4.1 ... he looked pissed to be removed
  16. Wow! Wainright has excellent reflexes. I'd be dead if that were me.
  17. Anyone watching the game tonight?
  18. This is called trolling. If you have reasons for the A+, then let's hear it, otherwise ... not a good look, detracts from the topic and actually demeans what you might really think
  19. I mean, if they thought somehow they could sneak him through ... HUH???? I don't get it.
  20. sheeesh ... blecht
  21. And now I hope the Rays beat the Red Sox
  22. Yes and no. He needs to impress at the major league level before he would be considered ready. And to do that, he needs to slot into the spot that Arraez had this year. It's not about continuing to rake in St. Paul, it's about what he will do on the Twins. And the only way to know that is to give him playing time and at bats on the Twins. I think you do that by making room for him by trading Arraez. And then when he proves ready to take over 100%, THEN and only then do you shop Donaldson. As I said, that doesn't happen, at the earliest, mid-season 2022, if all goes the best it could. Otherwise it's off-season 2022 and he's in place for 2023.
  23. It was ... scary-ish ... for the first half of the episodes, then not. It just didn't have anything new and became predictable. If I can get through it, it's not really that bad in terms of scare.
  24. Do I watch the game tonight between the Red Sox and the Yankees? Not sure I want to, not sure I can completely turn away ... drinks, anyone?
