Is this work safe?

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 08:46 AM) It was the HR of strikeouts.

Did you see how he rung up Rowand to end the game? I don't know if that is how he always does it but it seemed a little over the top to me.

Ha. I wouldn't start him any playoff game.

I wouldn't start Buehrle game 1 against the A's either. He does not match up well against them.

Reminds me of NBA Jam.

My best advice for any student contemplating college decisions: 1. Choose a school with an environment you like the most. No matter how far away it is. 2. If you don't know what you want to study, if you're not at least 90% sure, go undecided. You will figure it out soon enough. The rest will work itself out.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Aug 8, 2005 -> 04:20 PM) THis trade can't be fairly evaluated until the playoffs becaus the Cardinals knew they could win the division without Mulder, but thought they needed him to win a championship. They still may be right. I see what you are getting at. Haren was too much of a risk before the season to count on helping take a team deep into the postseason, while Mulder's track record and postseason experience was more of a sure bet. I suppose if they win it all with the help of Mulder they will never think twice about this trade. I just think it is ironic how the Cardinals may have swapped one pitcher for another who is actually equal in talent, while at the same time losing their best non-pitching prospect and a bullpen arm. All while taking on $5M more in salary.

With the major success Haren has been having lately (9-0 in last 14 starts), I started to revisit this trade. Haren has a better WHIP than Mulder, less hits, more strikeouts, fewer walks, lower BAA, and he has the disadvantage of pitching in the American League. Mulder has a lower ERA, but by less than 30 points. Mulder also has 3 more wins, but Haren also is being paid about 1/20th the amount that Mulder is. Haren will be under the A's control for a long time while Mulder I believe will only be through next year. The A's also got minor league 1B Daric Barton. That kid is absolutely tearing up the minors, while posting over a .900 OPS in high-A ball and about an .850 OPS so far in AA ball. He turns just 20 years old in a week. The piece that's is keeping this from being a super-blowout is Kiko Calero. He's being paid the league minimum and isn't having the kind of year he did in 2004, which I believe was due to injury for which he missed some time. Last year as a reliever he had an ERA under 3, BAA under 200, and WHIP under 1. Ever since coming back he's been improving his stats. I don't like Beane, but this definitely seems like a fairly one-sided trade to me.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 8, 2005 -> 12:23 AM) It's White Sox Baseball. We've just got to deal with it right? It's funny really that we've had people b**** about the triple stat, because frankly we don't play in a park that allows you hit many damn triples at all, because it's too small. I noticed that not only is it too small, but shots down the right field line (biggest triple candidates) are always ricocheted perfectly to the right fielder because of how our stands are set up.

I hope Dan Patrick heard this from a credible source and not some intern at the water cooler.

I think we have a winner.

Is that backwards K looming above Konerko's head for a reason?

What is on the cover?

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 04:19 PM) Somebody said it might be a joke, so I just wanted to see if it actually ended up being one. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't a joke before I anticipated this on Monday. He did not say it jokingly, or for use in some radio skit. I don't even know that this will be announced Monday, it could be longer than that.

Seems like Owens has a multihit game every other night.

Probably contending teams who spend their Spring in Florida. Just a hunch.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 12:46 PM) After the leak of what Palmeiro was on, I am really surprised this leaked out. I wonder when we will find out. From his tone, it didn't sound like it was breaking any minute now. More like MLB trying to decide which date in the future to announce something.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 12:04 PM) I have only one pic. That of AJP's wife. Not bad at all: As Hawk would say, "That's a 'tweener!"

On my way to lunch today, Dan Patrick said another large fish has been fried, and MLB is just waiting to release information. I have no clue how credible he is.

Gooch has a daughter, so good possibility he is married. Never seen Lisa Crede though, and she intrigues me. I bet Joe can pull some good talent.

Nonconformist.

Too skinny is gross and unappealing. That said, there are way too many girls bearing midsections and wearing low rise pants who shouldn't be.
