Princess Dye

maybe it's b/c upton was lackadaisacal as usual but couldnt thome have gotten into 3rd

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Oct 5, 2008 -> 04:44 PM) Nice inning John, I'm glad you're on the team I root for Floyd and Danks give me so much hope for the future. Now we really can go back to stopgap vets this offseason and contend again. Worst case scenario, obviously.

man they are really babbling.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 5, 2008 -> 04:39 PM) Beat me to it. well it's kinda the point that he had a blip amidst a continued bad streak. so 'phew' as in he's back to normal.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 5, 2008 -> 04:37 PM) Yeah, that 4-5 last game sucked. will try to be more positive, thanks.

Phew, Dye's still bad

I want to pick up Harold and swing him at Iwamura.

Whoa that cut away to the mysterious room was like David Lynch stuff.

Wise shoulda pretended he was being tangled up AJ totally woulda

Harold: Wise is not a speedster.

We're all like squinting and pretending these guys are already their 2009 replacements.

If Wise could take walks I'd say give him 4th OF no questions asked. Other guy just cant hit, flat out. wow phew.

Wise really needs to keep up this kind of plate discipline.

i'm currently doing my 'well we gotta score one run to win anyways' rationalizing.

QUOTE (MAX @ Oct 5, 2008 -> 09:30 AM) Dye slowing down and playing crappy D is nothing more than yet another soxtalk myth. Are you saying he's never going to slow down?? I mean, he'll be 80 at some point

Thing is we can make all these guesses, but what KW will inevitably end up doing is make the move no one talked about CQ,Alexei, Iguchi, Pods trade etc

QUOTE (MO2005 @ Oct 4, 2008 -> 08:55 AM) See I wouldn't trade Swisher because we need someone who can draw some walks, make the pitcher throw more pitches, etc. etc. There are too many players on this team that cannot draw a walk and swing at crap pitches! This was my thinking at the beginning of the year, but Swisher does strike out a lot. He often cant even get a bat on the ball... so really he's like Thome in the sense that he can walk,strikeout or homer.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 4, 2008 -> 08:47 AM) The main concern with going in this direction is it's actually making the team a bit older, instead of younger Great post, first off. Regarding the fact we'd get older -- I see this as the only way. We're locked into PK, Thome, Dye for next year... so since we're not going to raise payroll too much, get some short term older guys that expire at the same time as or a little after PK/Thome/Dye

i am shoving people

I would like Swisher/BA today

I want an all-Cuba team. Also, I want all of Javy Vazquez in Cuba.

Talent wise we're not good enough to hang w/ these guys but lets steal one and see if we can get into a series w/ a more forgiving ballpark

I would fully welcome back good Dotel. Maybe the arm just needed some rest.

Paulie, those are some great cleats you have there man. Couple situations already w/ em late this yr. Or turf shoes i suppose?
