The Ginger Kid

wow - thanks for being an idiot, elvis

want ads: one leadoff hitter. doesn't have to be very good.

what happened to garko, peds? he seemed like a guy on the rise a few years ago

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Apr 27, 2010 -> 01:54 PM) Alexei Ramirez is one of 2 players in baseball with at least 60 PA and no walks., the other is Pedro Feliz. So Alexei currently sports a 0:11 BB:K ratio. Pretty special if you ask me. I applaud his effort at avoiding walks. It's not easy to achieve what he has.

they give rings for division championships? What about Wild Cards, are those like promise rings?

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Apr 26, 2010 -> 07:00 PM) Other then addressing that Ozzie doesn’t really like homers, has actively told players to stop trying to hit homeruns (Rios, Nix, and to show that one of the main tenets of Ozzieball is to shy away from hitting for power, which is what this thread is discussing … Yeah, you’re right. Nothing to do with it at all. LOL...I said he'd rather have more guys in the lineup hitting 20-25 a year than a few who hit 40. And now he's "anti-home run"?? you win.

I hope texas continues to suck like this for the next few days...

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Apr 26, 2010 -> 03:16 PM) "I'd rather have Rios steal 50 bases than hit 50 home runs-" Ozzie Guillen. which basically has nothing to do with what I posted

ozzie never said he didn't want guys who hit homeruns, he doesn't want to rely on it solely. He's frequently said he wants guys who can avg. 20-25 throughout the lineup instead of one or two with 40-50.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 26, 2010 -> 10:21 AM) Some of? Possibly, but only a small part at most. The leagues are not THAT much different, that a guy's ERA goes from 3 to 7. I'm just quoting Schilling, who disagrees. He thinks they're significantly different.

I don't like Curt Schilling but heard a good interview w/him this morning and he was discussing the struggles of Javy Vazquez in the American League and said the difference in the two leagues is "night and day" -- the AL is so much harder to pitch in, the hitters are just better and there are 9 of them in the lineup. I think that's some of the trouble with Jake.

thanks. that's a great read.

how about kong...fwiw, the captain is tied for the lead in dingers.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 24, 2010 -> 03:46 PM) Rios saved a fans life.

back to back walk offs.....that's a great habit to get into!

ALEX FUK-ING RIOS!

remember when CQ used to see a lot of pitches like that? That was awesome.

oh well, we got our 3 runs. Mission accomplished.

AJ, get on so Carlos can win this and get the f*** out of his funk

BOOOOOOOOOOOO!

why do f***ing idiots do that, reach out and grab balls. It's a stupid f***ing baseball.
