thanks - you said what I was sitting here thinking - great post!

I agree and by the way, welcome!

I disagree with that Heather - Pinella is no miracle man - I saw no World Series winners in Seattle - our players need to look into themselves - deep

There was Pig Pen in Peanuts.... that the one you thinking of? or Joe Btsfplk in L'il Abner?

Valentine would be the worst possible choice... ... if we need a new manager which I change my mind about often ... ... and I have to go along with HSC that the real problem may lay elsewhere...

baggio, I will agree easily on the St JosE6 play here to fore discussed, Jose did all he could - it was a bullet shot and Jose did all anyone could do with it - which was stop it but it wasn't Daubach's arm that was the problem - he can't judge the flight of a ball or he was positioned wrong on something - he looked like s*** - and then there was the play where Jimenez missed the ball and then just laid on the field, never getting back into the play...

Willie Harris showed some real speed tonight like I haven't seen in a while - his 1st inning bunt, he flew to first and when Frank hit the ball to short it was not a double play because Harris had exploded for 2nd and essentially stole 2nd - - but then Cameron took us out of the game... but at least there was a little highlight... there was hope was a few minutes...

Just got home from Chicago. Daubach looked horrible out there on defense. Willie made a stupid throw to 3rd instead of 2nd once but I never want to see Daubach play right field again. never. never.

I just love it when you post such great stuff!

his first pitch was wild as hell which is part of why I was so down with JM taking BK out - that first pitch is what I remember most -

didn't his pitch go way past Olivo all the way to the stands?

is that why his first pitch was to the backstop?

I got Level 7 too

Mags is always the most likely to hit into a double play.

good luck!

awesome you are so special - gotta see you this year - what games can you go to?

awesome, you post here far too seldom - why not come around more? Are you going to the game Saturday?

No, wrong. Jose will just throw it away!

both Royals and Sox are playing 500 ball since April 16th - and the Twins have played less than that - we were 3.5 games out then as we are now, we 2 over 500 and they 9 over. The division belongs to whoever plays winning ball.

Please, apu, don't ::heart:: the Boondocks or BMR will be posting away about what a pervert you are...

Thanks for the insight - much appreciated -

Since APril 16, we and the Royals have played 500 ball, we are 3.5 games back as we were on April 16th, and the Twins playing slightly less than 500 have dropped from 3.5 back to 5 back. Not sure what this means but I am sure someone will tell me. as of 4-16 Kansas City 11 2 .846 - 5-0 6-2 0-0 11-2 0-0 0-0 8-2 L1 Chicago 8 6 .571 3.5 4-1 4-5 0-0 8-6 0-0 0-0 7-3 W1 Minnesota 8 6 .571 3.5 2-3 6-3 3-6 5-0 0-0 0-0 5-5 W5 Cleveland 5 9 .357 6.5 3-6 2-3 3-2 2-7 0-0 0-0 3-7 L1 Detroit 1 12 .077 10.0 1-7 0-5 0-0 1-12 0-0 0-0 1-9 L3

you said that shorter than I did - and better.

ok

1. a difference of opinion, and that makes conversations interetsing 2. that is unfair - we are as biased as you, and we are looking at it objectively as you do in your own self. The circus act that is sam-me is very destructive to team. We don't want that one-man attitude on any of our players. That is an objective judgment we make as Sox fans. We are not wrongly biased because we disagree with her. Back to #1 - difference of opinion. 3. Sure. A clown show is a clown show in whatever city the circus sets up the 3 ring tent. 4. Not when measured against all the negatives. Numbers are not the whole solution to baseball; it is an art, not a science. The numbers that sam-me puts up include a number of 90 loss seasons for his team. The numbers our post sam-me team has put up are three division champiosnships (93,94,00). Thise numbers mean more than a 90 loss season and one player running gaudy numbers. So we differ. That is what makes the conversations fun!
