And I think i will have to offer a formal apology to Noah pretty soon, he picked up right where he left off last season. He went from like -6 to +7 in 1 quarter. From 0 points, 2 rebounds, 0 blocks, to 10 points, 5 rebs, 3 blocks.

Intentionally walking Chase Utley in the 3rd inning to face Ryan Howard, and it works. That's some strategy.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 29, 2009 -> 05:56 PM) If Jose kept his hand over his wrist when he dropped down, he got a ton of movement down late in the pitch. If he got on the side of the ball, it had a straight sideways movement and was very hittable. It was the thing they had him work on when he went to AAA. Yeah, when a guy was geared up to see the fastball and got that thing, they had no chance.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 28, 2009 -> 09:20 AM) When he first started dropping down he had the same velocity he's always had. Than he had his bought with sciatica or however you spell it and after that his velocity started to drop. It didn't have anything to do with his trying to gain movement. He just wanted to show people another arm angle on his fastball, the problem was he didn't have any other pitch in his arsenal from that arm angle and because of it hitters knew what was coming (a straight fastball). I always felt like there was one pitch he could throw from side-arm that had a ton of movement on it and then another one that was pretty straight, was I wrong on that?

Don't forget that Talkbulls.com exists!

I think his terrible 2nd half burnt the bridge for me.

I have to ask...am I the only one who remembers all the times at the end of games where they'd draw up an iso play for Gordon, he'd get trapped/double teamed because everyone knew who would get the ball, throw up a prayer, and make like 20% of them?

Bona Fide.

I have to throw my hat in with the folks who say that the defense should be improved next year even if we do nothing. If ramirez 2010 isn't better than Ramirez 2009 then we're really going to have a mess. Beckham at 3b ought to be better than Fields at 3b + 1/2 season of Beckham rapidly improving at 3b. If Nix is genuinely spending the offseason working at other positions like we've been told, then that'll be an improvement right there. Dye leaving RF replaced by almost anyone should be an improvement. Quentin hopefully healing should be an improvement. Rios in CF should be a major, major upgrade if he sticks there every day. At worst, Getz should be the same 2b he was last year, which wasn't terrible. I'm not going to oppose a move that upgrades the defense, but I wouldn't reshuffle the whole thing just to make a defensive improvement.

Maybe ACORN should gang-rape one of its employees. That way they'd have the Congress on their side.

Public financing. Anywho...

Pretty much the same message he's given the rest of the state.

Yummy taste though.

Until I finish this document I feel like a living fossil.

Stupid life. It just needs to be fossilized. Then I might care.

Believing that the system we have set up is no where near as effective as it could be does not equal believing that the system we have set up hasn't done any good. Kap's avatar.

IOKIYAR.

Can't we all just get along?

Zoinks. You had to edit that post didn't you?

Xenu is the true power in the universe.

Very surprising to see you turn your back on your faith like that.

Turning this water...INTO FUNK!

Really, if Jesus walks into a room and forgets to close the door, shouldn't the door miraculously close itself?

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Oct 27, 2009 -> 08:13 PM) Cavs lose home opener, I love it. Lot of questions around Delonte West's future with that team also. If nothing goes wrong for the Celtics injury and chemistry wise they have to be the team to beat in the east. This of course includes Glenn Davis injuring his hand in a fight and getting himself hurt and suspended.

Please, who died and made you Jesus?
