QUOTE (joejoedairy @ Jun 29, 2009 -> 07:24 PM) i think if q comes back getz and nix will platoon in the 9 spot on this roster and that combo will definately not be a negative for the team due to their defense fixed for you.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 22, 2009 -> 01:09 PM) OK... It was totally because of LOTR. I'm sure if I moved there I could find me some orcs. really? that's rad.

but anyway, yeah, beckham rawks.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 22, 2009 -> 05:28 PM) In one of my 10 team leagues I have an outfield of... Ryan Braun Manny Ramirez Ryan Ludwick Nelson Cruz Curtis Granderson Shane Victorino Originally drafted Braun and Ludwick. But since this league is public and extremely stupid, I picked up Cruz, Granderson, and Manny off of waivers or free agency. I also traded Broxton for Victorino. I've got that s*** beat: Braun Carlos Lee Markakis Ramirez (manny) oh, and Fielder and Ortiz in there too, with a side of Reynolds.

i kinda dig this idea... i'd love to see it redesigned. could be very cool.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 22, 2009 -> 11:48 AM) No, its because I spent a couple weeks there, and despite the fact that I've been to something like 20 foreign countries, that was the only one I really found myself saying "I could live here and be happy". Ireland comes close, though. i wanted it to be because of lord of the rings...

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 22, 2009 -> 08:20 AM) Albuquerque or Santa Fe, NM Possibly Denver area Possibly Oregon If I had to move overseas... New Zealand, no contest. this is because of Lord of the Rings isn't it?

NYC baby. then somewhere out in New Mexico or Colorado as a vacation home.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Jun 22, 2009 -> 11:22 AM) You should've picked Gordon Beckham up as fast as you possibly could in a keeper league. edit: depending on how many players you are allowed to keep. 3. no one has him yet, nor mccutchen. and i already have wieters, manny, braun, fielder, markakis and more... so if a trade i have pending goes through i'll be picking up Beckham to sit on my bench.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 22, 2009 -> 10:26 AM) When he was called up, I picked him up in my AL Only league. I don't think I would pick him up in mixed leagues yet. i'm getting close though, especially in a keeper league.

bacon: guillen can't say beckham, sounds like bacon slayer: gordon's a pimp bacon slayer... i mean... that one i could get behind.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jun 21, 2009 -> 02:53 PM) No I agree with Greg. We are all rabid fans, but we are FANS. we aren't in the clubhouse so how could we possibly know what is going on or what Ozzie could be thinking? As FANS, we aren't privvy to that information. Thornton could be sick for all we know. We piss and moan all the time about the decisions that Ozzie makes - and that's okay. As fans we are allowed to do that. But in reality none of us knows what we are talking about as to what goes on in that clubhouse. If we did then we would be on the coaching staff. Just my 2 cents... the other thing is, hawk, who DOES have that inside info, also was doing his "criticize the move without coming out and saying it" thing.

oh no.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 21, 2009 -> 02:39 PM) Liney may suck, but I'm saying you have no idea whether anybody else would have given up more than one run. Unless you are a mindreader. The sportswriters should ask why Oz put him in. He has a reason. He knows more baseball than anybody on here. But they won't ask him even though he'd give the reason. hah. you're ridiculous. of course we can't guarantee how any other pitcher would perform, but the calls a manager makes need to be made based on averages and situations and recent performance. based on all 3 of those, you do not put Scott Linebrink in that inning. Simple as that.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 21, 2009 -> 02:36 PM) Liney gave up one run. Make your call right now. Who do you want in? Bobby might not have it today. So tell Oz what to do. the difference is, Bobby IS our closer. Liney is NOT our setup man. you have to give the ball to your closer regardless, but in the 8th inning, you give it to the guy who isn't pitching like s*** at the moment.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 21, 2009 -> 02:34 PM) So now are you all going to second guess Oz for putting in Bobby? really? really?

you know what guys, if you don't like it when Linebrink pitches, just don't watch his at bats... i mean pitches... i mean... alright you should probably just turn the game off entirely.

this is just disgusting

f*** this. why is Thornton only coming in to clean up messes recently? this is absurd.
