    Is that a requirement? (OK, that question might be 20 minutes too late, The requirement appears to have been reinstated.)
  2. gil4
    I was just thinking it would be nice for him to get one, then I thought it was too much to ask.
  3. gil4
    Doesn't look familiar. Kind of like these guys the Twins sent up to bat this inning. 4 runs? Clutch HR?

    Age might be a factor, but who is Pete Davidson?
  5. gil4
    He's going to spend the off-season trying to add three inches to his vertical leap.
  6. gil4
    So the reports of Arraez' demise were premature?
  7. gil4
    I was wondering who that was. He told a story last night about being in spring training with Oakland and taking infield with Chapman. He said right then he knew he wasn't going to play third base with them for very long. They traded him a few months later (on his birthday.) I couldn't think of who that could be.

    I wasn't sure the old game thread model was sustainable - the setup was pretty elaborate and labor-intensive. Today's was fine - just post the line-ups (eventually) and talk among yourselves.

    I went to the site. (Sorry for encouraging them,) They lost me with the photos of them vs the competition - the competition always looked better. ($68 for a pair of shorts was another issue, but that might be fine for someone else.)

    It actually predated his time with the Reds https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/07/30/sf-giants-why-donovan-solanos-donnie-barrels-nickname-is-something-no-one-saw-coming/ Edit - link is behind a paywall, but the title and date are enough info.

    I'm not feeling the dancing. Just relief.

    We need to send that link to the front office in Toronto in case TBD Little Leaguer gets grounded for staying up too late playing video games.

    I guess I should have read a bit further before I posted the same quote.
  14. gil4
    I remember a quote about him, although I don't remember the timing (and it might have been used about others as well) - "If you play against him, you hate him. If you play with him, you hate him a little less." (Apparently is was Ozzie Guillen, so probably after SF)

    I vote no (because they are in Buffalo tomorrow,)

    The 1987 had one outstanding starter (Viola), one very good starter (Blyleven late in his career), one marginal starter (Straker, in his one decent season). In the bullpen they had Reardon (who was just OK at best during the regular season, although he was more important to the team than his stats would indicate) and Berenguer (who was pretty good). Their #4 and #5 starters were worse than anything we put in those slots last years. The rest of the bullpen would have been released by now if they were on this year's team (except Atherton.) They won with front-line young talent (Hrbek, Puckett, Viola), solid second-tier talent (Gaetti, Gagne, Brunansky), veteran leadership and credibility (Blyleven, Reardon), and a playoff format that helped hide the lack of pitching depth (Viola and Blyleven pitched 57.1 of the 104 total postseason innings) In the games they won, Blyleven, Viola, Berenguer, and Reardon pitched 55.2 of 63 innings.

    Sign me up!

    Let's hope Ryan never gets the conga line going like Radke did
  19. gil4
    Still getting used to it. Edit: At first we thought it looked stolen from the Marlins.

    Flying this flag today:

    There are 30 reams. We're slightly overdue. This is the year!
  22. gil4
    Only 101 years until their next championship.

    Sorry, I didn't know. I've been pretty inconsistent in my attendance here and I think some screen names have changed, so I don't feel like I know people as well as I used to. Besides, wsnydes fixed it for me before your reply, so I should be safe, right?
  24. gil4
    I think we sort-of voted for it in his poll by an overwhelming margin (until you realize that the 66.67% is actually 2 votes) (and chicken wasn't actually mentioned.)
  25. gil4
    It's on my to-do list right after watching the Joe Theismann injury, which, 40 years later, I still haven't seen. (When I get a shot or have blood drawn, I have to look away. I'm not big on gross stuff.)
